"We shot in sequence, and in the beginning, when the character was sweet, he was very sweet, too. Later, when the movie started getting strange, he stayed in character. I am not usually an actress who stays in character. But in this, as it started getting stranger, I found my character staying with me. I couldn't wait to leave her."
Rourke and director Adrian Lyne also tormented the actress on set, ignoring her during discussions and physically assaulting so she would become emotionally distraught like her character. Then the cameras would start rolling.
DUSTIN HOFFMAN AND MERYL STREEP, KRAMER VS. KRAMER
The scene where Hoffman's character slaps Streep was all real.
Streep told The New York Times in 2018, "This is tricky because when you're an actor, you're in a scene, you have to feel free. I'm sure that I have inadvertently hurt people in physical scenes. But there's a certain amount of forgiveness in that.
"But this was my first movie, and it was my first take in my first movie, and he just slapped me. And you see it in the movie. It was overstepping."
Ford the star of two successful franchises and Young making only her third movie, these two were in completely different stages in their careers.
Of her on-set relationship with Ford, Young has said, "I was young and needy … When you're in your twenties you hope that your leading man will be like, 'That's OK, you'll be fine.' ... And Harrison wasn't particularly generous that way."
The crew members dubbed their love scene a "hate scene", as they were both very cold towards each other.
ANGELINA JOLIE AND JOHNNY DEPP, THE TOURIST
With two A-list stars, this film should have been highly-rated, however the stars had no chemistry which unfortunately showed onscreen.
While filming The Tourist, it was reported that Jolie was sick of Depp refusing to cut his hair for the role as well as his late-night partying and reclusive behaviour. In return, Depp apparently considered Jolie stuck up.
JULIA ROBERTS AND NICK NOLTE, I LOVE TROUBLE
Ahead of the film's release, Roberts told The New York Times: "From the moment I met him [Nolte] we sort of gave each other a hard time, and naturally we get on each other's nerves."
She said he can be "completely charming and very nice," but that "he's also completely disgusting".
"He's going to hate me for saying this, but he seems go out of his way to repel people. He's a kick."
Months later, a report in the LA Times claimed the two stars fought on set a lot and that they acted opposite with stand-ins more than each other.
SHARON STONE AND WILLIAM BALDWIN, SLIVER
The first news of their feud popped when the film was released, with Entertainment Weekly saying Baldwin joked to a crew member that Stone had "thin lips, okay breath" after a lovemaking scene.
She refused to do press for the movie when it was finished, calling Gere a "brick wall," and labelling director Taylor Hackford an animal.
She told The New York Times in 1986, "I'm not sorry I did the film, because it brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. But the making of it was treacherous. I don't need much when I'm making a movie, but I do need respect, and I didn't get it."
PATRICK SWAYZE AND JENNIFER GREY, DIRTY DANCING
One of the greatest love stories in the '80s had a lot of friction off-screen, which was revealed in Swayze's autobiography.
Swayze wrote in Time Of My Life, "We did have a few moments of friction when we were tired or after a long day of shooting. She seemed particularly emotional, sometimes bursting into tears if someone criticised her. Other times, she slipped into silly moods, forcing us to do scenes over and over again when she'd start laughing."
The laughing fits and multiple takes drove Swayze crazy. You can actually see during one of those laughing fits in the film Swayze's less-than-enthused reaction.
Swayze still complimented Grey's performance in his autobiography and there has been nothing reported of her being negative towards Swayze.
CLAIRE DANES AND LEONARDO DICAPRIO, ROMEO + JULIET
The actors behind the most iconic lovers of all time were, did not get along at all.
Apparently the 16-year-old Danes thought her 22-year-old co-star was immature and didn't like his pranks. On the other hand, Dicaprio thought Danes was uptight and too reserved.
However in 2018, Danes revealed she had a heart-throbbing crush on Dicaprio.
RYAN GOSLING AND RACHEL MCADAMS, THE NOTEBOOK
They ended up dating for four years, but when the two stars first met on the set of The Notebook they did not get on at all.
"And Ryan came to me, and there's 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, 'Nick come here!' He's doing a scene with Rachel and he says, 'Would you take her out of here and bring in another actor 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'."
The director summoned the two stars to his trailer so they could settle their differences which helped ... a little bit.
"They started screaming and yelling at each other," Cassavetes said.
"I walked out. At that point I was smoking cigarettes. I smoked a cigarette and everybody came out like, 'Alright, let's do this'. And it got better after that, you know?
"They had it out ... I think Ryan respected her for standing up for her character and Rachel was happy to get that out in the open. The rest of the film wasn't smooth sailing, but it was smoother sailing."
