A spinoff of the Star Trek thread.

It's a little strange watching people for decades love each other or be best friends on screen, only to find out in real life, they couldnt stand each other.

Of course, I know that these people were just coworkers, but its still blows my mind after seeing them on screen my whole life.

Most famously, I guess, Vivian Vance and William Frawley hated each other on I Love Lucy.

Also, Francis Bavier, who played Aunt Bea on the Andy Griffith Show, was said to be a grouch who was very standoffish with the rest of the cast.

What are some other examples of cast mates who didn't really get along?

I recently started watching Castle. Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic had an amazing chemistry in early seasons. I learned that they really didn't get along and it starts to show in later seasons. I haven't finished the series yet but I can see the magic unravelling.

I was shocked to learn that Adam Savage and Jaime Jamie Hyneman of Myth Busters weren't BFFs in real life. Adam worked for Jaime for a few years before they got the show, but in real life they didn't "hang out". Adam still speaks highly of Jaime, but acknowledges that their personalities were too different.

My guess is that Adam and his frenetic ADHD personality probably annoyed the shite out of calm, stoic, Jaime.

I've sorta wanted to know the real back story to Castle stars Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic . I know more about him, being a fan of Firefly than her, and have never heard a disparaging word about him.

Was it just them being in a show for 8 years, and they clashed over petty stuff, or was it something else?

Moonlighting stars Bruce Willis & Cybill Shepard weren't pals either. Might have just been 2 ego inflated actors, but I don't know.

Fillion comes off as one of the Hollywood good guys.

I know that professional actors can be very good at being deceptive, though.

Katic is insanely good looking, and there may be a chart on the internet which explains a potential personality clash with "normies".

Martin Lawrence and whoever the actress that played Gina on Martin. Only watched reruns every now and then in High School but remember being surprised when I found out she hated him because they had some pretty great chemistry. I think she filed a lawsuit for sexual harassment against him.

Non TV but Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy hated each other while filming Mad Max.

The odd one that I read somewhere that Andy Griffith and the actress who played Aunt Bea didn't like each other.

Nathan is from the normal ( Edmonton ) part of Canada, so there's that. He's distantly related to a confederate general, Jubal Anderson Early, a name which was used as a villain in the show - Firefly. ep. Objects in Space

As I stated above, I know they aren’t BFFs, but hated?

I watch all of Adam’s YouTube channel stuff and he often speaks about Jaime and it’s always with respect and even some admiration. If he hates him he hides it really well.

But like I said, I can see Jaime being really annoyed by Adam.

Bea didn’t like that everyone loved Betty , but didn’t like her. I haven’t seen anything about anyone else not liking Betty.

This could be said for like 95% of everyone that has ever worked with Chevy. Guy is just a straight up complete a-hole. I know Community got particularly bad however

I edited it out because I saw you already mentioned it.

There are a lot of interviews that came out around the same time as the finale of the OG show, and it's clear they really didn't get along at all.

To the other poster, no, I heard they all hated Betty, who was kind of a shite in general.

Jerome Flynn and Lena Heady in GOT. Guess that's why they never had any scenes in the later seasons

Here's a pretty interesting interview with Bea Arthur's son about the feud. It can be summarized by "Sorry, my mom was kind of a bitch."
