20 Actors Who Played Friends On TV But Actually Hated Each Other In Real Life

Ever have a coworker you just can't stand? Well, so have the costars of our favorite TV shows — only they just fake it when the cameras start rolling. Thanks to the smoke and mirrors of Hollywood magic, even the tensest of actor relationships are neatly covered up. In fact, while some of the most iconic duos in TV history may have seemed close on camera, behind the scenes, their bad blood resulted in surprisingly childish behavior.

William Shatner and George Takei

For a TV series all about loving your fellow spaceman, Star Trek was full of tense relationships. William Shatner and George Takei never quite saw eye-to-eye, but they didn't let it show on camera. When Shatner was snubbed from Takei's wedding, however, their mutual lack of affection went public. To this day, the two continue to bicker on social media outlets and in interviews.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall

The Sex and the City reboot won't be casting Kim Cattrall as Samantha. The truth came out slowly, with Cattrall telling Piers Morgan that Parker "could have been nicer" in 2017. Then, in 2018, Cattrall went off on Instagram following Parker's attempt to reconnect: “Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now…You are not my family. You are not my friend.”

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan

This might feel like a stake in the heart, but behind the scenes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gellar and Hannigan were anything but best friends. The two aren't mortal enemies, but they never kept in touch after those seven long seasons of killing vampire scum. Gellar was, according to Hannigan, "annoyed" by the whole production after season three.

Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion

The actors behind Castle and Beckett got along great at first — it's even rumored they dated. Though, they ended up hating each other by Castle's end, refusing to speak when the cameras weren't rolling. When Katic eventually lost her role, she wondered if Fillion had a part in it. However, some think it was due to her request for a raise.
