9 Actors Who Fooled Around With Their Co-Stars
7. Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton
Elizabeth Taylor’s affair with Richard Burton was one of Hollywood’s most scandalous events. While filming Cleopatra in 1963, Taylor was married to Eddie Fisher, and Burton had Sybil Williams at his side. Their fiery romance exploded on set and became front-page news for months to come, even drawing criticism from the Vatican. Taylor and Burton got hitched in ’64, divorced in ’74, remarried again in ’75, and divorced again (for the better this time) in ’76.
8. Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie
Despite the alleged cheating scandal, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie emerged as the most popular couple of the 2000s. While filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Although Jolie and Pitt have always denied cheating on their spouses, they did confess to having certain feelings for each other during filming. Fans blamed their affair for Brad’s subsequent divorce from Jen Aniston in 2005, but there was no proof. Jolie and Pitt married in 2014 but divorced five years later when the abuse allegations against Pitt came to light.
9. Harrison Ford & Carrie Fisher
Did you know that Han Solo and Princess Leia’s romance wasn’t just on-screen? Carrie Fisher revealed in her 2016 memoir that she had a 3-month-long affair with Harrison Ford while filming Star Wars. Fisher was just 19, while Ford was a 33-year-old man married with kids. Though Carrie admitted she wanted Ford to leave his wife, it never happened. Fisher kept the affair a secret for decades until revealing it nearly 40 years later.
