417 Shares

Actors have a reputation for carrying on romances with their costars, which seems pretty reasonable since they wind up spending a lot of time together while filming. Just as regular people tend to meet their spouses through their work environments, the same can be true for celebrities. This factor is heightened due to the fact that many film environments involve steamy romances. While some actors are able to keep their feelings at bay, others find it difficult to separate themselves from the intense storylines and steamy scenes.

However, not every actor has carried on romantic relationships with their costars, regardless of what the media may have portrayed. Fans love to speculate on the personal lives of their favorite stars and sometimes the best gossip can come from chemistry on the set. Oftentimes, if actors are able to truly convince moviegoers of onscreen chemistry in their films, there is also a plethora of romance rumors behind the scenes. There are some that have been completely on the right mark and others that were fabricated out of thin air. With so many media outlets speculating on which actors have and have not hooked up in real life, it's hard to know which stories are accurate. Whether you're an entertainment news junkie or you can just spot the fake ones, check out our quiz on which of these onscreen romances ever led to a real relationship and test your knowledge among all the hottest couples and costars that have graced the small and silver screen.

Question 6

Mayim Bialik and Jim Parsons

When Mayim Bialik first joined the cast of The Big Bang Theory, the series had already garnered a huge fan base. Bialik hadn't really appeared in anything since her Blossom days and she had spent quite a lot of time away from the limelight, focusing on furthering her education. Yet, her emergence on the show was hugely celebrated and fans can no longer imagine watching the show without seeing her Amy Farrah Fowler character. Audiences can't help but root for her love with Jim Parsons' Sheldon Cooper but does that mean the two actors have chemistry outside of the show?

Although Fisher has since died, was there ever a real life romantic relationship between her and Harrison Ford?

Question 13

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John

When the world was introduced to Olivia Newton-John as Sandy Olsson in the iconic musical, Grease, they wanted so badly for her character to wind up with John Travolta's Danny Zuko. Travolta had already solidified himself as one of the hottest actors in Hollywood through hits like Saturday Night Fever and pairing him up with the Aussie beauty just seemed like the perfect fit.

Question 17

George Clooney and Vera Farmiga

When George Clooney was cast in the 2009 film, Up in the Air, it seemed like there couldn't have been a more perfect part for him.

Yet, his character in the film didn't wind up with the girl in the end. Vera Farmiga played the character, Alex Goran, who seemed like the perfect match to end his playboy ways.

Question 20

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield starred together in The Amazing Spider-Man film series and people couldn't help but compare their love story to the original franchise.
