Sometimes you can just watch a movie and think “holy crap these people match so well together as a pretend couple.” Well, sometimes it just ends up that exactly those people end up thinking the same thing and crush hard on the actor or actress they’re doing a movie or tv show with. While it doesn’t happen all that often if we’re being honest, there are a few iconic on-screen couples that ended up either dating or wanting to date in real life as well.
Keep on reading and we’ll find out who found love in a script written to them by a total stranger! It may not sound romantic, but it sort of is. Sometimes.
Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer (Friends)
Let’s be honest – we all wanted this to happen. And it turns out the actors did too! Despite David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston never actually dating in real life, they both did admit that they crushed on each other at different parts in time. Their paths simply never fully aligned and the other person was constantly in a different relationship.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (Mr & Mrs Smith)
Despite their marriage not ending in the best of ways, the chemistry in this movie and the relationship that followed it would be one of the biggest love stories of the late naughties. You can tell by the sheer energy of this movie that these two fell for each other ridiculously hard. And don’t forget – Brad Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston at the time this movie was shooting!
