On-Screen Chemistry That Made Our Skin Crawl | Celebrity News
Chemistry: either you have it or you don’t And when chemistry between actors is sorely lacking, it’s painfully obvious and a chore for viewers to endure After all, chemistry is the heat, steam, and tension that makes an on-screen romance feel genuine Here are some high-profile pairings that simply failed to click.
On paper, you’d expect Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp’s chemistry to be off the charts. But their heat was nil in their 2010 flop The Tourist. What awaits me Trouble, certainly Danger? Oh yeah. It just goes to show: even if your stars are insanely attractive, your film won’t generate any on-screen fireworks if it’s stuck with a crappy script.
Mulligan Gatsby and Daisy’s fictional love story in The Great Gatsby is one for the ages.In the most recent film adaptation, the characters are played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, two beautiful people...who fail to ignite any sparks whatsoever. The film has amazing visuals, but the romance at the heart of the film just sputters. Each actor is insanely talented, but they are passion-free when paired.
Some might consider such a statement blasphemous, but Taylor Schilling and Laura Prepon lack serious chemistry as Piper and Alex in the jailhouse series Orange is the New Black. Their conversations are so snarky and there's enough baggage between them that they could fill an airport There doesn’t feel like any real lust or longing between these two, and their relationship feels largely like a matter of circumstance and convenience. I had a chance to make a life quot;Okay, you need to shut up.
While most Sex and the City devotees of the series think Carrie Bradshaw’s best chemistry is with her eventual husband Mr. Big, their romance eventually feels more about the witty repartee than generating any real sparks But before she gets her man, Carrie dates Aleksandr, played by dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, and even moves to Paris with him It was shocking at the time, mostly because their chemistry is ice cold.
Because she usually embodies the fun party girl in her other roles, maybe it’s the fact that Diaz plays a psycho ex-girlfriend in Vanilla Sky that’s so unsettling about her performance here Or maybe it’s that she and Tom Cruise were thrown together as a plot device that led to them having no heat, despite the fact that they were two of the biggest A-listers on the planet when they starred in this film Whatever the reason for their utter lack of sizzle, it’s pretty fitting that this boring couple starred in a movie with the word vanilla in the title.
Jennifer Aniston and Matt LeBlanc When Jennifer Aniston’s Rachel was paired with Matt LeBlanc’s Joey on Friends, it was a sacrilege Viewers knew Rachel belonged with with David Schwimmer’s Ross, but the writers, following convention, had to find creative ways to keep them apart so that they could eventually have the big reunion But Rachel and Joey as romantic partners was a total snoozefest. I’ve been thinking about, Okay, dial it up a little Aniston and LeBlanc had absolutely no heat and their characters had nothing in common.They were better as, well, friends This small screen romance was scorch-less
Sure, the success of Knocked Up hinges on the premise that a buttoned up, ladder-climbing professional woman gets, you know, knocked up by a sloppy slacker after a drunken one-night stand But Rogen and Heigl still exhibit nothing in the way of charisma together. They are totally blah as a couple Heigl went on to famously diss the film’s concept in her Vanity Fair cover story.Her attitude may have even been prevalent while on-set, which could’ve led to a lack of chemistry Good thing the comedy was more than enough to keep the good times rolling.
Forget Jar Jar, or the midichlorians—the worst part of the Star Wars prequels was this pair of duds Christensen and Portman had chemistry colder than the vacuum of space in as Anakin and Padme Theirs has been universally regarded as a sizzle-free pairing.
Both felt a bit miscast, which likely led to the failure to click on the big screen. Winona Ryder and Richard Gere You might not remember the romantic tearjerker Autumn in New York, in which Ryder and Gere play a May-December couple, because it flopped pretty hard. There’s no two ways about it: the couple’s chemistry is completely lackluster and they are simply unbelievable as a pairing And the storyline itself, about a young, terminally ill girl making a middle-aged, onetime hunk appreciate his life even more, is so tired It’s all fizzle, no sizzle Alright, did not anyone ever tell you it was bad manners to stare at a girl while she’s eating like a pig
