Going from fiery passion to fiery breakups, Hollywood’s most iconic couples have fallen victim to the ultimate curse- working together on a film. Maybe the pressures of Tinseltown is too much for love to handle. But it seems like Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum might be able to brave this storm.
Mutual respect and sizzling chemistry, Kravitz and Tatum’s relationship seems to have it all and working on the sets of Blink Twice might uncover new details. But this couple did break the legendary Hollywood curse which became the downfall of long-standing relationships, by successfully working on a project without it breaking them up.
The curse of Hollywood’s hottest couples
When it comes to Hollywood romances, people absolutely adore their onscreen couples joining hands beyond the camera. But soon, fame and the pressure of such a demanding profession lead to the downfall of the relation. One weird but recurring factor of celebrity breakup seems to coincide with them working together on films.
Whether it be the iconic pair of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman working on Eyes Wide Shut, or everyone’s favorite Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in By the Sea, it ended in separation. One recent example is of the stunning couplet of Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde who after collaborating on the 2022 film Don’t Worry Darling, reportedly broke up.
