4. C3PO & R2-D2 Hate One Another In Real Life - Star Wars
Lovable, bickering droids C-3PO and R2-D2 are arguably the most famous aspects of the Star Wars films, and are the only characters to have featured in main roles in every single one of the movies to date - assured proof that these guys are the essence of the franchise. In the movies, of course, these two are renowned for their constant fighting - R2-D2's cool and careless attitude really irks C-3PO's more serious and studied approach to getting into adventures in a galaxy, far, far away. But fans also know that deep down these guys adore one another and couldn't live - or, uh, "function" - if they didn't have the other to abuse. Surely the actors inside the suits, Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker, are the best of friends, then, having spent the sum of many years playing opposite one another? Well, no, actually: Daniels and Baker kind of hate each other, and have spoken out with regards to said hate over the years many, many times. Baker insists that Daniels is rude and ignores him whenever they see one another, whilst Daniels seems to have no opinion on Baker at all - something he loves to enforce whether he has the opportunity. Learning this and then watching Star Wars is kind of heartbreaking, really.
