On-screen couples who keep getting back together

The chemistry between George Clooney and Julia Roberts is evident both on-screen in films like 'Ocean's Eleven,' 'Ocean's Twelve,' 'Money Monster,' and 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,' as well as off-screen as best friends for decades. The stars teamed up again for the rom-com 'Ticket to Paradise' in which they play a divorced couple trying to stop their daughter from getting married, but after all these years—or perhaps because of them—they had a hard time filming a kiss scene.

"Yeah. I told my wife, 'It took 80 takes.' She was like, 'What the hell?'" Clooney told The New York Times.

"It took 79 takes of us laughing and then the one take of us kissing," Roberts told the publication. "We have a friendship that people are aware of, and we're going into it as this divorced couple. Half of America probably thinks we are divorced, so we have that going for us," Roberts joked.
