Sometimes, when you see any type of relationship on screen, actors have such good chemistry that it makes it seem that they actually might be involved with each other. Sometimes, it’s actually true -- we have all heard of actors getting together behind the scenes. But sometimes, the reality isn’t so sweet. Just as we find some people in our lives that we don’t like, actors also do. And sometimes, these people end up being their co-stars, who are their friends or even lovers on screen, and that undeniable chemistry turns out to be just good acting. So, today, let’s take a look at some of the rumors or proven stories about actors who apparently hate working with each other.

We all know what kind of feeling hate is, right? Well, if you don’t live under a rock where you are isolated from all kinds of feelings, you must have felt hate at least once in your lifetime. Maybe it wasn’t raging hate, where you become violent or even worse. Maybe it was just an intense, uncomfortable mixture of fear, mistrust, and dislike. Either way, you must have felt it.
Sometimes, hate is directed toward a thing or concept. For example, some things tend to be universally despised by most people. It can range from quite unserious things like life stories before recipes in blogs to serious ones like corrupt politicians.
Yet, sometimes, people simply hate other people. We can all agree that we aren’t the most friendly species to ever live. In fact, we probably are one of the most aggressive ones. Just take a look at our history, and you won’t need any other proof.

Bill Murray and Lucy Liu supposedly hate each other, after he played her mentor in the *Charlie's Angels* movies.
Editor's note:
There's gossip that Bill Murray told Lucy Liu "You can't act!"
Brent Spiner said that the cat who played Data's pet Spot on *Star Trek: The Next Generation* was "the worst actor he ever worked with".

We tend to hate each other so often that hatred can be split into different types:
- Microaggressions – subtle, often accidental actions or comments that demean individuals;
- Hate speech – more intentional actions or comments of hate;
- Hate crimes – criminal actions committed as acts of hate;
- Cyberbullying – spreading hate online.
Anyone can become someone’s target due to proper and improper grounds. For example, sometimes, a person can annoy a person, intentionally or not, and with time, that annoyance can turn into hatred. That’s just how our brains are wired. In 2022, it was reported that 90% of Americans say they have a co-worker that annoys them. So, it’s no surprise that we see so many people complaining (or joking) online about hating their coworkers.

Well, as we said previously, actors are humans, too. Sometimes, they can simply be annoyed by or hate their coworkers. The only thing that’s different for them in their job is that they might have to act like they’re best friends or even in love with that co-worker. To talk a little bit more about that, Bored Panda reached out to film critic and host of the Girls On Film podcast, Anna Smith.
She said that the actors’ dislike for each other shouldn’t technically be an issue as long as they can do their job of acting.
Looking at this list, we can clearly see that, quite a lot of times, actors can pull it off, and sometimes, they do it so well that it might be hard to see how these people can’t stand each other.

Yet, sadly, gossip media sniff out some “juicy” stories about actors not getting along and make it a way bigger deal than it actually is, which Anna called lazy and harmful. She also gave an example: “Women are so often pitted against each other as well. When in truth, most women in the industry really support one another, as I've found by interviewing them for Girls On Film.”
And if there is some mild bad blood between any women or actors of any other gender, the gossip media might complicate the dynamics even more by making it public and not giving the people privacy to solve things on their own terms, making their job harder than it should be.
