Movies Couples That Would Hate Each Other IRL

Facts

Romance films are often thought of as one of the most popular genres on the silver screen. While some people think of them as “chick flicks,” there are numerous romance films that have garnered a huge demographic in its audience. Pitting some of the hottest leading men in Hollywood with the most beautiful actresses in the world, some of these romance films showed off the best couples on the silver screen. The public loves to see celebrities pair up, even if its a fictional relationship on the big screen. Some of these romances have actually led to some real relationships but not all of them have stood the test of time. Yet, their time together has allowed their love story to live on forever on the big screen.

There have been a number of romances depicted on the big screen that seemed like it would be the perfect match. Yet, not all of these Hollywood couples could be suited for each other like Sally Albright and Harry Burns in When Harry Met Sally. While the storylines have often been good enough to make moviegoers believe that they would actually work out, dissecting these couples in the real world would inevitably show a truly different outcome. That is the magic of Hollywood, but it’s also a tad disheartening to know that most of these romance films wouldn’t have even stood a chance in the real world. Check out our list of the 15 movie couples that would hate each other in real life and see how Hollywood can put a spin on even the worst relationships.

10. Andie And Benjamin

The 2003 film, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, is still such an endearing film to watch and it’s not just because it stars Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey. There was something so special about this feel-good romance flick and everyone has their own favorite parts. With the premise revolving around Hudson’s character writing an article on what “not” to-do, the interaction between her and McConaughey’s character were truly entertaining. She basically put on a completely different persona and did all of the things that some women do that are major turn-offs to men. In the film, McConaughey’s character was able to see beyond all of that and fell in love with her in the end. Yet, that would never have been the case in real life. Not only was she lying about the article and her motives behind her behavior but it would be impossible for someone to fall in love with a completely fake person.

9. Claire And Garrett

When Jennifer Lopez was set to star in another film, people had high hopes when the storyline revolved around her being with a much younger man. Lopez is known for having “cougar” tendencies in real life and pitting her against Ryan Guzman seemed like it would create some magic on the silver screen. In the 2015 film, The Boy Next Door, Lopez played the character, Claire Peterson, who was going through a separation period with her husband, Garrett, played by John Corbett. While Corbett has played a number of roles on the big screen, most people remember him as Aidan from Sex and the City. He was a lovable character when he was courting Carrie Bradshaw but he was an adulterer in The Boy Next Door. In the film, the two wound up making things work and she was able to forget his cheating ways. Yet, it’s doubtful that these two would have truly made it work if it were in the real world. Putting aside his cheating past, he would probably have difficulty with her dating a 19-year-old that tried to kill him and their entire family.
