20 Co-Stars Who Didn't Get Along On Set (& Will Probably Never Work Together Again)

Whenever someone is watching a TV show or movie, it's always fascinating to see how much chemistry the actors are able to portray on-screen with one another. Their acting skills are so believable that one could assume that they're the best of friends and hang out all of the time when the cameras stop rolling.

Some co-stars do become the best of friends. They are there for each other when they get married, expand their families, and celebrate anniversaries and other milestone events. However, that just isn't quite the case for some co-stars. Some celebrities who have worked together have had a lot of problems behind the scenes. Many of the on-set issues have caused the former co-stars to no longer speak to one another after they've wrapped up filming, while some have been able to hash out their differences.

For a few co-stars, when the reports of what happened behind the scenes came out, they didn't want to speak about it or flatly denied it. It was only later that they were comfortable enough to air their dirty laundry. 

Here are some co-stars who didn't get along while they were working together, and a few of them who will most likely never work together again.

Eventually, Selma Blair's character was written out of the comedy series.

“Selma didn't trash Charlie on the set,” a source told Radar Online. “Everyone on the show was ticked off at his behavior but no one complained to the producers because they knew he would fire them. But her private comments got back to him and he went off.

"Channing Tatum doesn't like me and for many reasons, many being my own fault.”

It's said that Alex has a reputation for being difficult, but it seems the star insists he's misunderstood, as can be seen from the media outlet's interview with him. Either way, the feud between him and Channing was so strong, he didn't appear in the Magic Mike sequel.

Just to add insult to injury, Vince didn't show up for the film's press tour, which resulted in Reese having to promote the movie alone.

1 90210: Shannen Doherty And Jennie Garth

Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth were used to dealing with the drama their characters faced on their hit '90s drama series Beverly Hills, 90210, but some of that drama seeped off-camera. In her book, Deep Thoughts From a Hollywood Blonde, Jennie opens up about her time working on 90210 and her beef with co-star, Shannen. E! News reports her saying,

"One of the great 90210 legends is that Shannen and I actually came to blows one time. I will tell you that this never happened-although we did come very, very close. We were shooting a scene and Shannen kept grabbing at the hem of my skirt, trying to slap me on the leg-anything to get me to react and break character… I did snap and I yelled at her." Other co-stars had to stop them from getting into a physical fight.

Yikes!
