The success of any film, first of all, depends on the acting. Sometimes creative tandems are so successful that they later appear in other paintings, dooming them to success. However, these stellar duets, harmoniously fitting into the plots of their favorite movie stories, suddenly stopped appearing together. What was the reason that these domestic actors refuse to appear in joint projects?

Sergey Bezrukov and Ekaterina Guseva

The actors looked so harmoniously in a pair in the series "Brigade" that rumors immediately spread in society: young people had an affair. However, in reality, everything was completely different. Before participating in the cult series, Bezrukov and Guseva did not even know each other, and then they were immediately offered to play lovers. But if Sergey managed to portray sincere feelings easily, then Catherine could not enter the image for a long time. The director even threatened the artist that he would replace her. And only then the girl was able to pull herself together, because she did not want to lose the role. It would seem that after such a success, the actors will continue to intersect in various films in the future. However, the stars themselves after the "Brigade" tried not to participate in the same projects, although there were many such proposals. Bezrukov and Guseva themselves later explained why such a taboo appeared. Sergei was married to Irina Livanova, Catherine also had a husband with whom she raised her son. And rumors about an affair could interfere with their family happiness. In addition, the actors did not want their couple to become a kind of cliché: both were not eager to become hostages of the same image. However, the actors still played together again when the noise around the Brigade subsided a little: Guseva portrayed one of Yesenin's lovers in the series of the same name. As you guessed, Bezrukov shone in the leading role. However, in the future, the artists did not have joint works.

Dmitry Kharatyan and Sergey Zhigunov

The actors who played in the famous "Midshipmen …" had a strong friendship for a long time. However, already during the work on the film, the first bell rang out that Zhigunov still harbored a grudge against his comrade. The fact is that during the filming Sergei was wounded by a sword in the eye, so Oleg Menshikov was entrusted to voice his character. A logical question arises: where does Kharatyan have to do with it? But it seems that it was at him that the friend was angry. Zhigunov invited a friend to appear in his project "Queen Margot", but later decided that another actor would also voice the character of Dmitry. Kharatyan did not like this decision: he left, slamming the door, and refused to continue filming. Since then, former friends have tried not to intersect in any way, and Dmitry promised not even to shake hands with a colleague.

Nastasya Samburskaya and Anna Khilkevich

The sitcom "Univer" has been popular among the youth audience for many years. Therefore, it is not surprising that it was stretched out for several seasons, and now another sequel is being filmed. However, few people know about what passions were boiling on the set of the project. So, actresses Nastasya Samburskaya and Anna Khilkevich, who played bosom friends, could not stand each other in real life. The reason for the conflict was competition: each of the girls believed that she was the main star of the series. It got to the point that the creators of "Univer" tried to paint the shooting schedule so that celebrities intersect as little as possible. However, an open confrontation could not be avoided. During one of the press conferences, Khilkevich and Samburskaya let off taunts at each other, and then accidentally crossed paths in the ladies' room of the restaurant, where the event was held. Here the confrontation of the stars reached its climax: after the verbal exchange of "pleasantries" a scuffle ensued. But the girls were able to separate. However, after that there was a truce, but it did not last long. Nastasya did not miss a reason to write nasty things in social networks about her sworn friend, the same one, too, did not remain in debt. Now both actresses are filming the sequel to "Univer", but they still try not to intersect on the set.

Valentin Gaft and Alexandra Yakovleva

In the wonderful Soviet New Year story "The Sorcerers", Apollo Sataneev falls in love with Alena Sanina. Here are just the actors who played these characters, during and after filming, tried not to overlap anymore. In general, Alexandra Yakovleva might not get the role, but director Konstantin Bromberg considered "a kind of devilry" in it. However, the actress did not find a common language with Valentin Gaft right away. And there were reasons for this. The fact is that everyone knew about Yakovleva's difficult and capricious character, so many colleagues tried not to intersect with her. The artist herself was constantly late for shooting, she could disappear altogether or sit in the dressing room for a long time. The responsible and punctual Gaft, of course, did not like this. Besides, he was a real perfectionist, so he prepared carefully for each role. And Yakovleva constantly forgot the words, which made Valentin furious. Once, after the actress mixed up the lines again, her partner's patience came to an end: he began to choke the girl. They even wanted to leave this scene in the film, but Gaft asked not to do this and said that he would no longer be filming with Alexandra. The director had to persuade the actor to return to work for a long time. But still, many scenes where both actors are present had to be shot in close-up with only one character.

Pavel Maikov and Mikhail Gorevoy

Another actor Pavel Maikov, who became famous thanks to the "Brigade", has long been considered a friend of Mikhail Gorevoy. Moreover, the latter emphasized that he treated a colleague like a younger brother. However, for many years, men do not communicate and do not work together. Gorevoy met with actress Maria Saffo, who played in his theater. Imagine his surprise when he found out that Maykov had an affair with this girl behind him. At the same time, Paul was married and raised a son. But for the sake of a new love, he left his wife. Naturally, after that story, the actors parted ways.

Elena Yakovleva and Aglaya Shilovskaya

Already experienced actress Elena Yakovleva and her young colleague Aglaya Shilovskaya were brought together by fate on the set of the film "In the style of jazz". According to the script, the People's Artist played the mother of the heroine of an aspiring star. However, the relationship between the partners did not go well from the very beginning. Elena in Aglaya was irritated by literally everything, and she constantly expressed her dissatisfaction. Shilovskaya, also having a difficult character, did not remain in debt, so conflicts on the set flared up again and again. However, the film was still shot, and the paths of the actresses diverged. But Aglaya was the first to decide to go to reconciliation, calling Elena and inviting her to the play with her participation. However, Yakovleva replied that she could not remember who Shilovskaya was. Needless to say, now colleagues are trying not to intersect at all.

Victoria Tarasova and Victoria Gerasimova

In the TV series "Pyatnitsky" Victoria Tarasova got the role of Lieutenant Colonel Zimina. The young colleague Victoria Gerasimova was to play her subordinate. However, the two actresses from the first days of work could not find a common language. The fact is that the two Victoria shared the same dressing room. Tarasova, who had many words, constantly studied the text. But this very annoyed Gerasimova, who did not like the fact that she was not allowed to rest. The conflict between the actresses reached the point that the creators of the series decided to "kill" the heroine of the younger Victoria, although initially this was not foreseen in the script. Gerasimova, having lost her job, completely flew off the rails: she opened the dressing room door with her feet and called Tarasova the last words. Since then, the actresses have pretended not to know each other. Naturally, after this, there can be no question of joint work.
