You shouldn't mix work with love, and you should never date your coworkers, right? Well, seemingly, this rule does not apply to Hollywood power couples who fell in love on movie sets.
Have you stopped to consider that maybe the reason the acting in some films with a romantic storyline is so good is that it's not always an act? It's true, and there is a list of behind-the-scenes romances between costarring famous actors to back it up.
Maybe these movies are among their best performances because each shoot is filled with genuine feelings between the celebrity couples.
We here at Bored Panda compiled a list of famous couples whose on-set chemistry with their coworkers blossomed into real-life relationships. And no matter how long these cute couples stayed together, it's evident that nobody is safe from falling in love behind the scenes.
Scroll below to see the lucky teams, and if there's any pair you think should be added to the list, don't forget to write it in the comments!

Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith

So what? For some people that works for them. That doesn’t mean they don’t love each other. They may have other lovers, but I’m sure they love each other the most. That’s usually how it goes for couples like that.

Never understood what the hell was with the hype for these two..... Angie is an average actress... Played in a few movies after the late 90s..... Pretty much the same for Pitt. No clue how they became so overrated
Michael C. Hall And Jennifer Carpenter
They have met on the set of 'Dexter'. While Michael and Jennifer were playing siblings on-screen, in real life they were falling in love and eventually got married.
Yeah, that was a little weird when I realised that brother and sister were married.
It's a lot weird that you can't separate a tv show from reality.

I read the book way before it was make into a movie, I cried like a baby reading the ending
Load More Replies...What?!? I always heard that they didn't get along on set, actually hated each other....
Apparently they did hate each other (to the point where they could barely talk to each other), and so the director (or whoever) got annoyed and locked them in the same room and wouldn't let them out until they talked their issues out.

She's lucky to be rid of him. Sad about their kids, though. Scientology is dangerously influential.

There MUST be better photos. I know these two are better looking than this.
I would think that many times, it can be "set energy" that creates these relationships, with people playing a role that bleeds into life for a bit. But once the shoot's over, the real person re-emerges, and people who've played characters for 3 months may not always be compatible in real life.
Just like the military. Many of these marriages DO work, however, I have seen (and been in a few) where it is just the "situation" that creates the bond. Once removed from the deployment or training, the romance often times ends.
Load More Replies...It's nice to see several that lasted to the decade mark or longer even if that's only maybe half of them. I think at times the acting was too good. They didn't realize they were only acting and mistook it for love.
Not many are lasting. It's weird. Is it quick fling, 'love'? Not knowing the person for long enough? The number that split up and being with someone else and else is unsettling
Seeing how many of them only lasted until the next set it makes me thing that some people just mixing his work with his real, personal life.
It's unprofessional for people who work together to hook up. Shows a great deal of lack of professionalism in themselves as people and as actors who understand the difference between acting and genuine emotion and reality. MANY of these "actors" need to get back into acting schools and programs to understand separation between personal and professional life
Kaya Scodelario (Maze Runner, Pirates of the Caribbean 5) and Benjamin Walker (In the Heart of the Sea) met while filming The King's Daughter. They are married and have a child.
