Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams Kinda Hated Each Other While Filming 'The Notebook'

"The Notebook" has become a synonym for the romantic movie, the chick flick to end all chick flicks. It was also the movie that truly launched Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams into stardom...and into an off-screen relationship, too.

But here's something you probably didn't know: Gosling wanted McAdams booted off the set!

In an interview with VH1 to celebrate the movie's 10-year anniversary(!), director Nick Cassavetes revealed some long-held secrets about the making of the film. Among them was this atom bomb of a factoid: Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams did not get along well at all.

"Maybe I'm not supposed to tell this story," Cassavetes said, "but they were really not getting along one day on set. Really not. And Ryan came to me, and there's 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, "Nick come here." And he's doing a scene with Rachel and he says, "Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?" I said, "What?" He says, "I can't. I can't do it with her. I'm just not getting anything from this."

Not exactly what you were picturing from them, is it? Luckily, things got smoothed over pretty quickly after a bit of yelling: "We went into a room with a producer; they started screaming and yelling at each other. I walked out. At that point I was smoking cigarettes. I smoked a cigarette and everybody came out like, "All right let's do this." And it got better after that, you know? They had it out… I think Ryan respected her for standing up for her character and Rachel was happy to get that out in the open. The rest of the film wasn't smooth sailing, but it was smoother sailing."

Somehow, Gosling and McAdams got a relationship out of this. We guess there's something to be said for passion?

Anyway, sorry if we just ruined "The Notebook" for you.
