21 Actors Who Had Absolutely Zero Chemistry With Their Costars

Recently, Reddit user trpclshrk asked, "Who is a well known actor ... that you never see having chemistry with their co-stars?" and people had a lot of strong feelings. Here are 22 actor pairings where one or both of the actors involved just had absolutely zero chemistry with the other.

1.The Rock in Jungle Cruise with Emily Blunt...and also, actually, The Rock in basically everything

2.Lauren London with Jonah Hill in You People

3.Mark Ruffalo with Scarlett Johansson in Avengers: Age of Ultron

the two talking over drinks

I feel like Johansson could have sexual tension with a brick wall, but Mark Ruffalo is giving absolutely nothing here. Their relationship comes out of nowhere and makes no sense, especially for Natasha. It just falls so flat for me, and it's no wonder they dropped the relationship after this film.
