21 Iconic On-Screen Duos Who Hated Each Other IRL
There are only about 12 people in the world considered pretty enough to lead a film at any given time, which means there are only so many different ways you can combine them. Sometimes, they clash spectacularly (pointedly not looking at you, Fifty Shades), but just as often, it’s lightning in a bottle. Hepburn and Tracy. Fred and Ginger. Adam Sandler and whoever wants to take a vacation with him for three months.
For Redditor Wide-Affect-1616, it was literally Blazing. “As a kid, I always loved the onscreen chemistry between Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor,” they told r/Movies, “but only found out today that their relationship was ‘rocky at best.’” They then asked, “Which acting ‘duos’ do/did you enjoy watching but famously didn’t get along offscreen? What do you know about their offscreen relationship?” and Reddit brought all kinds of loathing to the table.
