1.Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts
Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts worked on the 1994 rom-com, I Love Trouble. The costars hated each other while working on the movie. When asked her opinion on Nolte in an interview with The New York Times, Roberts said that whilst Nolte could be "charming and nice", he was also "completely disgusting". Nolte struck back saying, "It’s not nice to call someone ‘disgusting.’ But she’s not a nice person. Everyone knows that."
2.Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel
While the actual reasons behind their feud are not clear, Dwayne Johnson has publicly clarified that the actors who seemingly are very similar do not work together anymore. In an interview with The Rolling Stone, he clarified that this is due to “different approaches to filmmaking”.
3.Bill Murray and Lucy Liu
According to rumors, while working together on the 2000s version of Charlie's Angels, Bill Murray criticized Lucy Liu's acting which did not sit well with Liu. It is said that they got into a fight and had to be separated by the crew. Anyway, in the sequel Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Murray was replaced by Bernie Mac adding strength to the rumors.
4.Lena Headey and Jerome Flynn
The reason the actors' characters on the HBO drama Game of Thrones, Cersei and Bronn don't have scenes together is a failed love story. The couple used to date back in 2002 and the relationship ended in a nasty breakup, causing both of them to not be on "talking terms."
5.Alec Baldwin and Shia LaBeouf
While working together on the broadway play, Orphans, Baldwin was attacked by LaBeouf for not memorizing the lines. In the events that followed, Baldwin asked the production to let him quit. They instead chose to fire LaBeouf.
6.Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere
According to rumors, Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere got into a fist fight while on the set of The Lords of Flatbush. While the reason behind their rivalry is not clear, the duo has not worked together in any movie ever since.
7.George Clooney and Russell Crowe
"He [Crowe] picked a fight with me. He started it for no reason at all. He put out this thing saying, 'George Clooney, Harrison Ford, and Robert De Niro are sellouts," Clooney shared in an interview with Esquire magazine in 2013. The actors have not worked together in a movie ever since.
8.James Franco And Tyrese Gibson
After their movie Annapolis was wrapped up, Gibson swore that he will never work in a movie with Franco again. This was because Franco was "cruel" and "threw real punches" at Gibson while filming their boxing scenes.
9.Wesley Snipes and Ryan Reynolds
After their movie Blade: Trinity, Ryan Reynolds seemingly will not work with Wesley Snipes again. According to the crew, Snipes was constantly chilling out during the shooting process and Reynolds had to work mostly with his stunt double.
10.Kevin Smith And Bruce Willis
The duo first worked together on Live Free or Die Hard which led to them working together on Cop Out. But this time, things weren't as smooth as before. Smith criticized Willis' attitude and later called him "the unhappiest, most bitter, and meanest emo-bitch I’ve ever met at any job I’ve held down."
However, Smith has since apologized for his comments after Willis announced that he was “stepping away” from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia.
