10 Famous Actor Pairings You Didn't Realise Hated One Another In Real Life

By Mavra Choudhry /

1. Anthony Daniels & Kenny Baker - Star Wars

One can't say "C-3PO€ without his long-time companion R2-D2 coming to mind along with the frantic and frequently melodramatic droid, and for good reason: the much-loved pair is scarcely seen apart throughout the six Star Wars films, having cheeky squabbles and hilarious misadventures like (admittedly adorable, for protocol droids) children. That being said, it€™s a genuinely tragic revelation to hear that the actor inside R2-D2, Kenny Baker, can€™t stand his counterpart, Anthony Daniels. According to a then-furious Baker, the C-3PO actor was the rudest person that he had ever met: Daniels severely chastised him one day on set for saying a mere "hello." Daniels had apparently turned his back on Baker after the innocuous greeting and snapped: "Can€™t you see I€™m having a conversation?" Since then, there€™s been friction between the pair; Baker maintains that Daniels made him feel small, and that the withdrawn Daniels didn€™t get along much with anybody. So it€™s no wonder why, although they€™re one of the most beloved science fiction duos short of Kirk and Spock, you would be hard-pressed to find them appearing together at any fan convention. But, I mean, if you were part of the most renowned sci-fi film series of all time and you were better known as a string of digits and letters, you€™d be at least a little bitter too, right?
