Here are 16 onscreen couples who allegedly hated each other IRL: 1. When The Vampire Diaries first began filming, Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley "despised each other so much that it read as love." In 2019, Nina told the Directionally Challenged podcast, "We really just didn't get along the first five months of shooting... We ended up getting to a good place, and it was fine. Of everyone, I think I probably see him the most and hang out with him the most. We're probably the closest."

The fans would never have known that. We're basically driving each other insane and then after a few seasons, we developed this absolute mutual love."

A source alleged, "They will not speak when they are off set, and this has been going on for seasons now... This season, it got so out of hand they made Stana and Nathan go to couples counseling together."

In his 2009 memoir The Time of My Life, he wrote, "We did have a few moments of friction when we were tired or after a long day of shooting. She seemed particularly emotional, sometimes bursting into tears if someone criticized her. Other times, she slipped into silly moods, forcing us to do scenes over and over again when she'd start laughing." Hulton Archive / Getty Images He also said, "I was on overdrive for the whole shoot - staying up all night to do rewrites, squeezing in dance rehearsals, shooting various scenes - and was exhausted a lot of the time. I didn't have a whole lot of patience for doing multiple retakes." Hulton Archive / Getty Images Their tension seemingly dated back to Red Dawn, a movie they costarred in before Dirty Dancing. In 2022, Jennifer told The View, "Patrick was playing pranks on me and everybody. It was just, like, macho, and I just couldn't take it. I was just like, 'Please, this guy, that's enough with him.' ... [During the Dirty Dancing screen test] he pulled me down the hall and said to me, 'I love you, I love you, and I'm so sorry. And I know you don't want me to do the movie.' And he got the tears in his eyes. And I got the tears in my eyes - not for the same reason. I was like, 'Oh, this guy's working me.' And he goes, 'We could kill it - we could kill it if we did this.' We go in there, and he takes me in his arms, and I was like, 'Oh, boy. I'm done.'"

Discussing the "most difficult celebrity" she's worked with on Watch What Happens Live in 2016, Busy Philipps said, "James Franco and I really didn't get along when we were on Freaks and Geeks. We were 19, and we really, really disliked each other. It's well-documented. He shoved me to the ground once. It was really brutal... We're friends now, and we really like each other now, as adults, but as kids, we did not get along." NBC / NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images 5. In 2010, Jay Mohr told Elle that his "most awkward interaction with a female celebrity" was "being on the set of a movie where the leading woman was unhappy with [his] presence and made it clear from day one." Though he didn't confirm who he was talking about at the time, the interviewer looked at his filmography and pointed out that he could only be talking about Jennifer Aniston, his Picture Perfect costar. (C) 20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett Collection Jay said, "I hadn't done many movies, and even though they screen-tested some pretty famous guys, I somehow snaked into the leading role. The actress said, 'No way! You've got to be kidding me!' Loudly. Between takes. To other actors on set. I would literally go to my mom's house and cry." (C)20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett Collection On a 2011 episode of his podcast Mohr Stories, he alleged that, when Jennifer saw him on set, she complained about him to other people, saying, "Six guys they screen-test! Six! ... The on
