While they went on to date and become one of Hollywood's most beloved couples, Gosling and Adams didn't initially get along, according to Cassavetes. And it was so bad that at one point Gosling tried to get McAdams replaced.
"We weren't throwing Ming vases at each other, so it wasn't loathing," McAdams said in 2013 of the pair's on-set relationship, "but our relationship was not what you saw on the screen. I would say that we were both, well, professional." Gosling and McAdams would go on to date for three years, before breaking up for good in 2009. And while neither star ever officially discussed their split, Gosling did open up about their epic romance. "God blessIt introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that.
I still hope, and dream that Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling find their way back together.
