Apparently, though, if you're a celebrity, the best place to meet someone online and er.. meet someone is on a movie set and you know it's a phenomenon that goes back to the golden era of Hollywood and the latest well... just ask Jen and Vince. Ah, here is Andrea Canning with details.
--- Why would I want to do dishes?
They may be at each other's throats on screen in the new film The Break-up, but their electric chemistry behind-the-scenes has turned Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn into one of Hollywood's hottest couples.
Jennifer is a very warm person, very bright person, very kind and considerate.
The A-list couple isn't the first to meet on the job, and they won't be the last. The list is long.
In one of the most infamous onset romances, Aniston's ex Brad Pitt left her for Angelina Jolie after a spark's bloom during the filming of Mr.& Mrs. Smith.
The chances of Brad Pitt meeting someone in line at Bed, Bath & Beyond is fairly slim.
Just a couple of years later, Brad-Angelina is now a family of five. Before Katie, Tom Cruise roared into Nicole Kidman's life on the set of Days of Thunder. Later, Cruise met another Cruise as in Penelope while filming Vanilla Sky.
--- I've always been true.
On set romances are nothing new, having been around since the days of old Hollywood, Richard Burden wooed Elizabeth Taylor on the set of Cleopatra in 1962. And Spencer Tracy romanced Katharine Hepburn during Woman of The Year in 1942.
Long hours on closed sets, months away from home, isolated locales, and those steamy up close in personal scenes often form a recipe for popcorn passion.
Given the opportunity to have someone sit in front of them go: I love you, I love you so much, please don't die. A lot of them fall in love, not even with their co-stars, but with the character their co-stars are playing.
But are these romances worth the price of a mission? They've rarely come with a magical Hollywood ending. Jude Law and Sienna Miller wed from The Bliss of Alfie to Nanny Gate. Global hunting Minnie Driver was dumped by co-star Matt Damon on Oprah, and Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's engagement flopped just like their movie Gigli. Their biblical relationship that would have been wrecked by Gigli.
Affleck did find love later with another one of his leading Jennifers, Jennifer Garner, who meets him on the set of Daredevil. The key to a long lasting celebrity marriage. One, meet on a crappy project, two ah, don't get married.
Perhaps the secret to success doesn't involve a wedding ring. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell met on the set of Swing Shift 22 years ago and they're still going strong. So who is the next couple to fall in love while the camera is rolling. Stay tune, for Good Morning America, Andrea Canning ABC news, Los Angeles.
