8 on-screen couples who couldn't stand each other in real life
These film and television romances have made us sigh, but for their protagonists, achieving that result was not easy at all.
One of the most difficult things about acting must be managing to pretend well that you feel something totally different from the truth. For example, that you are happy when you are going through something very sad, that you are scared to death by a man with a mask that you think is funny or, the worst, having to record romantic or sensual scenes with someone you can't stand. The latter was what happened to these eight couples who had to play romantic interests in front of the cameras despite not getting along in real life.
Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams
the movie Noah's diary ( Diary of a passion in Latin America) is on the lists of almost all people who declare themselves fans of romance. However, the protagonists Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams could not stand each other.

After this, tempers calmed down and, in fact, after the film they began a romantic relationship.
