30 TV And Movie Couples With The Best Chemistry, As Pointed Out By Folks In This Online Group
What does it take to be a good actor? Experience, skills, talent and endless training are only a few things that go into the formula that helps an actor to become a successful one. When an audience is looking at the screen, they don’t see years of hard work and hundreds of takes, just a polished character.
Sometimes, because of how brilliant the actors were in the movie, people might even start to speculate things. For example, a lot of viewers like to guess whether actors who play couples in the movie aren’t a thing behind the scenes. Having this in mind, one Reddit user asked people online to share the names of the actors who “had so much chemistry you can't believe they didn't date in real life.” This question encouraged people to share their opinions and have a heated discussion about certain actors and movie plots.
Which one of these actor couples do you find to have the most chemistry? Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!

David Tennant and Michael Sheen as Crowley and Aziraphale in Good Omens.
There actually best friends in real life so there's that bromance going for them both but there they are the perfect double act in my eyes 🥰
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz in The Mummy. My god their chemistry, even as a kid I knew lol
Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger in 10 Things, their chemistry is so believable in that flick.
Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet in Titanic. They actually said in interviews that they fell in love with each other awhile filming but didn't date after
Zooey Deschanel and Jake Johnson had to be instructed not to touch each other as much during the first season of New Girl because their chemistry was so good it was distracting
Michael Douglas & Kathleen Turner had great chemistry in those Romancing the Stone movies.
I’ll throw Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves into the mix. They seem like such a perfect pairing
Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. I thought they had great chemistry in both The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates.
Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones from the first Zorro movie. So ... hot !
Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung - In the Mood for Love. Understated, but it's there.
Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey had great chemistry in Dirty Dancing even though they hated each other with passion in real life.
Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan in Outlander!
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. They had such a playfulness/flirty chemistry in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. It looks like they had a lot of fun making that movie.
I mean, there’s no way Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter never had Johnny Depp over for a little melange.
Ewan McGregor & Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rogue
Anytime Julia Roberts shares the screen with George Clooney.
Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas in Desperado
Not dating but Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore literally looked like 3 best friends on the set of Charlie's Angels whenever they were in all in the same scene. Just giggling and throwing roundhouse kicks together.
Mads Mikklesen and Hugh Dancy in Hannibal
If you haven't seen Adam, with Hugh Dancy...trust me you wanna go watch it. It's sooooo good. Also, Mads is amazing in everything Lol
The Notebook is a weird one. During filming, Gosling and McAdams reportedly couldn't stand each other, to the point where in some scenes they had to be filmed separately because they couldn't stand being in the same room together. But in the scenes they had together, there was some obvious sexual chemistry. Like, really obvious, bursting off the screen. Sometime after the movie, perhaps they finally admitted somethings there and started dating for a while
James McAvoy and Keira Knightley in Atonement.
Keira Knightley and Matthew McFadden in Pride and Prejudice. Anything James McAvoy does is amazing in my Humble Opinion.
Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone
I could not believe that Larry David and Cheryl Hines in Curb Your Enthusiasm hadnt actually been married for 20 years. It wasnt this erotic chemistry at all. Rather two leople who had been putting up with each others shit for years and love each other despite it all
Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson in the Conjuring, especially the second one
I dunno about mutual chemistry, but Gal Gadot clearly wanted to annihilate Chris Pine in the bedroom.
Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. They just worked so amazingly well together, making the ending all the more heart breaking.
How are Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski of ‘The Office’ not near the top of that list? Jenna-Fisc...a081b7.jpg
WHERE are Turk and JD from Scrubs?! I feel like they coined the term "bromance".
The entire cast of Psych. David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel. Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder. Chase Stokes and Madeline Cline. Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon.
Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder actually dated. So they dont fit in the list. But I agree. Lots of good couples missing

Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans in the Captain America/Avengers movies. I mean let's be real, if one of them was a woman they'd have made out by now
I believe Bucky is bi, and Cap might be open for adventures - no need for women here 😉
Load More Replies...No Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan??? I loved all the films where they are together. E-Mail for you, Sleepless in Seattle, Joe versus the volcano.
What about Tom Ellis and Lauren German as Lucifer Morningstar and Chloe Decker in Lucifer, especially in season 6! lucifer-fi...92-png.jpg
Yessss! Literally watching it right now, and I can't get enough. Tom is a brilliant actor, so expressive.
Load More Replies...Why is 'Pride and Prejudice (2005)' not on this list? That's my favorite romance movie of all time. When Mr Darcy flexed his hand after touching Elizabeth, I went to heaven.
Nope, you're never going to get better chemistry than Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy on the 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Colin Firth IS THE Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehle was amazing as Elizabeth, and you could've cut the sensual energy between the two of them with a chainsaw.

The fact that Raul Jones and Anjelica Huston as Morticia and Gomez Addams isn't on this list is astounding
Mr and Mrs Smith. When I saw the movie, before it was announced, you just knew Pitt/Anniston marriage was over.
I feel like I’ve seen most of these movies and shows at one point or another but it’s crazy to me that people can remember the details, especially in regular movies that aren’t super moving or great.
I'm with you there. My son is like that, he can remember details like a walking encyclopedia! And while I enjoy some movies & tv shows, I'm not so into them that I can spout dialogue or details at the drop of a hat. I'm very much into reading actual books tho, preferably fiction.

I really miss Kristin Scott-Thomas and Robert Redford in The Horse Whisperer here. That Dance Scene! 😍 E6CA518D-5...7-jpeg.jpg
Matt Damon and Emily Blunt in The Adjustment Bureau. I 100% believed that their characters fell head over heels for each other.
