You just never know who's going to have chemistry. You can put two of the sexiest people in the world together, and they could be completely flat.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Just because you have chemistry with someone doesn't mean you're naturally going to be the best for each other. You have make choices and prioritize.
You fall for who the chemistry is with.
It's a mystery, that thing about chemistry, because often people who hate each other in real life and hate each other on the set have great chemistry on the screen. And people who love each other in real life and love each other on the set have absolutely no chemistry whatsoever.
I believe chemistry is based on the trust between two performers. What actually works is something intangible - being extremely comfortable in each other's presence.
We've all seen great actors and actresses who are missing a certain chemistry. And it's not about getting along or not getting along.
Chemistry is really about two people who like to act together, I think. It's like tennis in the most cliched way. It's like if you hit the ball, they hit the ball back, and they don't hit it into the stands, and they don't put the ball in their pocket and walk off - and they don't argue with the umpire, you know?
On a really big budget movie you do chemistry reads, and you sort of hedge your bets a little bit more and make sure that these people get along. But on the low budget side of things, I have to trust my gut that when I cast these people, the various elements are going to play together.
I have always believed that chemistry can't be created between two people. You either have it or you don't. The script can only enhance it.
When two characters or two actresses are together for a while there is bound to be chemistry developing.
When it comes to chemistry with actors, I always feel chemistry is not something that comes and goes. You either have it or you don't.
