9. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling
The Notebook (2004) is the modern equivalent of Romeo and Juliet, also known as the ultimate love story. Noah and Allie had their ups and downs, made us laugh and made us cry. The chemistry between Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling seemed real and audiences wanted to see these two get together in real life, which they eventually did! They went on to have a rather long relationship (by Hollywood standards) which was on-and-off from 2005 to 2008. However, the pair ironically did not get along while filming the popular movie and Gosling thought that they didn’t have chemistry with each other. Their director, Nick Cassavetes, relieved the tension in an interview; “They were really not getting along one day on set. Really not. And Ryan came to me…and he says, ‘Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?’ I said, ‘What?’ He says, ‘I can’t. I can’t do it with her. I’m just not getting anything from this.’” Who would have thought? It just goes to show that these two really can put on a performance.
