16 Movie Couples Who Have The WORST Sexual Chemistry Of All Time
With 2023 featuring steamy onscreen couples left and right (shoutout to Bridgerton), group chats across America are in a tizzy debating if the sex appeal is actually sexy or just…a sign from the universe that not all hot people belong together.
Recently, we decided to ask movie lovers in our BuzzFeed Community, “Which movie couple had the worst sexual chemistry of all time? And remember, if it didn’t ruin the movie, does it really count?”
And they came through with both classic and hot takes! Here are the actors the BuzzFeed Community thought were the biggest flops when it came to serving any kind of sauciness in their favorite movies:
Also, just a friendly reminder: These are inpidual picks we’ve rounded up directly from members of our BuzzFeed Community, NOT the personal picks of the writer (aka ME!!!!). There’s maybe a handful of answers I’m side-eyeing, but I respect your rom-com choices regardless.
1. Bonnie Wright and Daniel Radcliffe in the Harry Potter franchise (2001-2011)
Warner Bros / ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection“Harry and Ginny in Harry Potter. Just painful to watch…those two had negative chemistry. Whatever the opposite of chemistry is, they have it.”
—karlie99
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Universal / ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection“Should go without saying because the movie itself is terrible, but…whoever thought Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen would make good love interests…yikes, LOL.”
—mmetner
Here’s a glimpse of…their love?
Hulu / Courtesy of Everett Collection“I have to say it… Harper and Abby in Happiest Season. Harper continuously showed that her own needs came before Abby’s. Riley and Abby had way more chemistry, and it’s a shame that the writers didn’t explore that!”
—Creative-Shark-17
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Apple TV / Courtesy of Everett Collection“I had to shut off Ghosted about half an hour in because Ana de Armas and Chris Evans had absolutely no romantic chemistry. It was the most painful rom-com I’ve ever seen. We even tried to fast-forward to later scenes, and it was still incredibly milquetoast between the two.”
—NovacaineBlues
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Warner Bros / ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection“Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant in Music and Lyrics. Cute movie, adorable leads (on their own), enjoyable music…but in the actual movie? I think they’d both rather have been acting opposite an upturned garbage can.”
—buzzkeeper
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Walt Disney Co. / ©Walt Disney Co./courtesy Everett / Everett Collection“Emma Watson and what-his-name in Beauty and the Beast. Maybe it’s just because I love me some Luke Evans, but I was rooting for Gaston to get the girl.”
—rachelg44ec195c4
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Courtesy Of Warner Bros. Pictures / ©Warner Bros / courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection“Since I read the book, [I don’t think the] leading cast of Crazy Rich Asians have the best chemistry. Astrid and Charlie — that would be Gemma Chan and Harry Shum Jr. — don’t have the best, either. Astrid looks better with her asshole husband. Again, in the movie.”
—indoguy
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Netflix / Courtesy of Everett Collection“Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. I love them separately, but them acting like a couple was just not it.”
—Sarcasm_queen?
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Universal Pictures / Courtesy of Everett Collection“A more recent one would be Awkwafina and Nicholas Hoult in Renfield. I love them both separately…but they were pretty terrible in the movie.”
—Privatefaces
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Netflix / Courtesy of Everett Collection“I love Adam Sandler. I love Queen Latifah. Putting them together as a married couple in Hustle just didn’t work for me. They didn’t have the chemistry I would have hoped for with two actors that I love.”
—StrCar
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Lucasfilm Ltd. / ©Lucasfilm Ltd./Courtesy Everett Collection“Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen. So bad, I rooted for Padme to cheat on Anakin with Obi-Wan. Talk about adding the drama to Star Wars. It could have been the Jerry Springer moment of Star Wars with paternity tests done before the actual lightsaber duel, wink wink.”
—smith_teresa
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Paramount Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection“Why did Audrey Hepburn get paired with so many old men? Gary Cooper in Love in the Afternoon, Humphrey Bogart in Sabrina, Fred Astaire in Funny Face…”
– crafty_gm
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
20thcentfox / ©20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett Collection“Any pairing in the X-Men prequels… James McAvoy and Rose Byrne, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, Tye Sheridan and Sophie Turner, etc. Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence were closest but still missed the mark.”
—baobaopanda
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Lucasfilm LTD / Disney / Courtesy of Everett Collection“Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver in Star Wars. That kiss was literally more awkward than Luke and Leia who are freaking siblings. It was so bad.”
—hannahtraveller96
Here’s a glimpse into their…love(?):
Netflix / Courtesy of Everett Collection“They fucking did a CGI kiss…they even knew there was no chemistry between Jonah Hill and Lauren London, and yet, they still made the movie!”
—Ashley Jones
Here’s a glimpse of…their love(?):
Columbia Pictures / ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection“Terrible movie, but also, how can two beautiful people have zero chemistry? It was the worst.”
—lmclaughlin
Here’s a glimpse of…their love(?):
