Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender
A lighthouse, an island, an ocean, sunrises and sunsets—surely more than one office romance happened on the set of “The Light Between Oceans,” the atmosphere was very inviting. But the world only learned about the star thing - soon after the premiere of the film, Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander stopped hiding the fact that they spend a lot of time together. The actors admitted that they fell in love with each other on the set, but were able to fully surrender to their feelings only after filming was completed. “Even though we were attracted to each other while working, I felt that there were always three of us. Derek Cienfrance, the director, was always next to his camera, even when we were filming love scenes... He even climbed under the bed!” Michael later recalled in an interview with Access Hollywood.
Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams
In the film Brokeback Mountain, Michelle Williams' character Alma was never able to win the love of her husband Ennis, played by Heath Ledger - his heart belonged to someone else. But in life, passion flared up between the actors, because of which Ledger broke up with his then fiancée Naomi Watts. Michelle and Heath's romance lasted three years and ended shortly after the birth of their daughter Matilda Rose Ledger. A year after the breakup, the actor died from an overdose of tranquilizers and drugs - they say he was never able to recover from the breakup with his lover.
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell
By the day of their fateful meeting with each other, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell had already been pretty burned in love: he had one unsuccessful marriage behind him, and she had two. It is all the more surprising that on the set of the film “Shift Changes” they fell in love with each other quickly and passionately, like teenagers. Kurt later recalled that after three weeks of filming, Goldie asked him for a couple of dance lessons, but instead they chatted in his trailer until the morning. Since then, they have been together and are considered one of the strongest couples in Hollywood: “We respect each other, and as a result, only 2% of our lives were really bad, another 2% were so-so, and the remaining 96% were simply magical,” he says about this Kurt.
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
The magical world of cinema brought this star couple together on the second try: first, the actors became friends on the set of Pearl Harbor, and then became closer on the set of Daredevil. Officially, their romance began a little later, but there are reasons for this misunderstanding: during filming, Garner was in a relationship with actor Michael Vartan. And Ben came to the premiere of the blockbuster with another Jennifer - he was then engaged to J.Lo.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
Is it any wonder that the most luscious movie couple of the late 2000s were together both on screen and in life: at the time of filming the first “Twilight,” Kristen Stewart was 17 years old, and Robert Pattinson was barely over 20—the time for naive romances. To the great joy of fans of the saga, the lovers separated, got back together, had dogs together and thought about marriage several times, until it all ended in Kristen’s affair with married director Rupert Sanders on the set of “Snow White and the Huntsman.”
Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow
The whole world remembers how Brad Pitt fell in love with his partner in the film Mr. and Mrs. Smith (of course!), but only the most devoted fans remember his romance with Gwyneth Paltrow, which began on the set of the thriller Seven. Meanwhile, in the 90s, Brad and Gwyneth were the main stars of the red carpet: photographers and journalists loved their similar haircuts and touching manner of holding hands. Alas, the feelings faded away as quickly as they arose: Brad and Gwyneth lived in the spotlight for three years, and broke up quickly and very quietly. Rumor has it that it was because of the actress’s infidelity.
