Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox may have hooked up on the set of Transformers, but they’re definitely not the only two celebs to have met through a gig. Check out my list of the top 10 sexiest (and sometimes controversial) on-set celebrity flings.
1. Blake Lively and Penn Badgley. This pair met on the set of their popular scripted drama Gossip Girl in 2007 and dated for over three years before splitting up in 2010. Things must be awkward on set now, especially because their characters are always on again/off again with one another.
2. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Pattinson was rumored to have hooked up with Kristen’s best friend and co-star, Nikki Reed, on the set of the first Twilight film while Kristen was still dating her longtime boyfriend, Michael Angarano. It wasn’t until the pair were shooting The Twilight Saga: New Moon that the rumors began to spread that the two stars were officially a couple.
3. Taylor Lautner and Taylor Swift. What more do you need when you both have the same first name? This pair met on the set of the 2010 film Valentine’s Day, starring as teens in love. The teen stars were caught out together a few times before calling it quits. One of Taylor’s songs is even rumored to be about her short time with the Twilight star.
4. Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter. These two actors met on the set of their successful Showtime series, Dexter while they were playing brother and sister. Carpenter and Hall began dating during filming and married in 2009. The couple split only one year later in 2010, but they still have to shoot scenes together.
5. Kate Bosworth and Alexander Skarsgard. True Blood actor Alexander and Hollywood beauty Kate met while shooting their film Straw Dogs, playing husband and wife. They are still spotted out together occasionally to this day. You can check out these two love birds in their new film in theaters on September 16.
6. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. These two stared in one of the most famous love story films of all time, The Notebook. After filming wrapped, the two continued an off-screen love affair dating off and on for five years. The couple even shared an epic kiss at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards after winning the award for best kiss.
7. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. This now-married couple first laid eyes on each other in 2002 while they were shooting the superhero flick, Daredevil. I guess those tight body suits were too much for this pair to resist, because they remained together and now have two beautiful daughters, Violet and Seraphina.
8. Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere. Hayden and her controversially older Heroes co-star, Milo, dated for a short while. The couple’s age difference was given as the reason for their split.
9. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth. I guess those Nicholas Sparks films really do have a lucky charm for celebrities who star in them. Just like Rachel and Ryan before them, Miley and Liam also hooked up on and off set of the film, The Last Song.
10. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Probably the most controversial of o- set celebrity flings, Brad and Angelina famously met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2007. Brad admitted one year later that he fell in love with Angelina while filming the flick when he was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Ouch.
Tell me, Lovelies: What on-set fling do you think was the most scandalous?

Definitely Brad & Angelina. Not just because I like Jennifer Aniston. He was married & Angelina talks about how she couldnt look at herself if she had an affair but she did & they later admitted it.
I’m not one to say you cant find love where you work but I wouldnt shit where I eat. When things end (like with many of the couples), it becomes awkward at work. I try not to mix my personal life with work anyway.

Of course the Angelina and Brad one was most scandelous!!!! I used to love Angelina but man, she just seems like a prison guard or something. Brad’s never looked so old and miserable as he looks with her lol. Reminds me of the presidency. How presidents look nice and healthy BEFORE their term and in the 4-8 years later, they aged 15 years.

miley cyrus and liam didn’t last long, lol. he only dated her to get more famous!
guest
Brad and Angelina! Hands down.

it still upsets me that rachel mcadams and ryan gosling broke up! haha just kidding, it’s their lives.

@obsidianxdawn@xanga - Rachel and Ryan were my favourite celebrity couple
guest
not surprised that they’d fall in love or develop an interest if they see each other nearly everyday. I remember developing crushes on guys, who sat across from me in class
so during silent reading time, I’d pretend to read my book while glancing across the room at the cute guy
guest
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan from Step Up came to my mind when I saw the title of this post.

People are always so against Angelina just because Brad was married at the time they met and whatnot. But come on, who was married? Brad. Not Angie. I hardly ever hear people upset at him for the fact he fell for someone else while he was married. Though, I can’t blame him, if I had a chance at Angie I’d jump in a heartbeat no matter the situation lol.

@ShirleyD@xanga - Or it’s just that he’s getting old? It doesn’t help that they have millions of kids lol. Though he seems to be happy, I mean, why else would he have so many kids with her? I just love Angie, so I’m defensive
don’t mind me lol.

you forgot tom cruise and nicole kidman on the set of far & away and shia lebeouf & carey mulligan on the set of wall street2

Well when you’re making out with someone everyday, acting like you’re in a relationship with them for months on end, I’m sure feelings are bound to evolve. I never understood how celebrity actors and actresses can even maintain relationships when their job is essentially to have intimate relationships with other people on screen. It has nothing to do with insecurities, either. If I watched my boyfriend kissing some girl or even participating in a full-out sex scene with her, I’d feel betrayed, even if it were just fake.

Ha! I just started watching Heroes on Netflix…. totally thought there was insane chemistry between Claire and Peter even though they were niece/uncle…. The more you know….

I’ve heard of all of them except for Gosling and Rachel McAdams, that is adorable! I just think it makes sense because working with someone for months on end on a common goal’s can obviously spark something.

@fromprivatetopublic@xanga - I think they’re back together. Or at least, he’s been hanging out with her while she’s on tour.

Michael C. Hall cheated on his wife with Julia Stiles, so he hooked up with his co-stars twice. But hey, I still love him and I’d still fuck his brains out. Jussayin.

Brad and Angelina. To this day, I still have hopes that Brad will come to his senses and go back to Jennifer. I love Angelina as an actress, but I will always hold a personal grudge against her for splitting Brad & Jen up.
guest
Brad & Angelina, for sure. To this day I can’t see a movie with either of them in it because I’m so bitter, haha (minus Beowulf because I went to see that with my school).
Although, I will see an animated movie even if they’re voicing a character.
