Why Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston Get Along

By Daniel Dominguez on March 18th, 2010

Some on-screen couples are just made to be together. From the classics like Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy,  Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, to more modern hot couples like Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, or Robert Pattinson and that whiny chick, some on-screen couples just seem destined to be together.

Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston are also made to be together onscreen, and there’s plenty of evidence to support it. When they’re together sparks fly, they exude good humor, and they are both allergic to the same rare strain of crab grass.

But they aren’t the only hot couple on the screen these days, there are plenty of other stars who just plain fit together. Here below are just a few.

1. Johnny Depp + Helena Bonham Carter

: Tim Burton brought these two together for many an onscreen adventure, and is it any wonder? They both are exactly equally attractive, they are both shrouded in darkness and mystery, and they both have used voodoo to make their urine come out jet black. There’s a funny on-set story where they were at the catering truck together and they both reached for the same ham sandwich, their hands met, they both laughed and shook their heads, and then Helena Bonham Carter threw a vampire bat at Johnny Depp, grabbed the sandwich, and vanished into thin air.

2. Tom Cruise + Nicole Kidman:

They worked so well onscreen together on such classics as “Days of Thunder” and “Eyes Wide Shut” primarily because they are both so physically attractive that, like looking directly into the Ark of the Covenant, if anyone were to make love to Tom Cruise or Nicole Kidman that wasn’t either of the two of them, that person would surely perish. They are so good looking, in fact, that their looks have been turned into a high-grade military weapon, which, when fired at a target at first disables them, then completely shuts down their bodily functions, rendering them unable to defend themselves.

3. Tom Cruise + Klaatu The Destroyer:

When Tom Cruise isn’t busy being good looking with Nicole Kidman, he is busy flying over the Earth riding on the back of his secret Scientology god, Klaatu The Destroyer. Klaatu has eleven tentacles instead of a mouth, and razor-sharp hands. He has a hundred eyes and wears a human skin robe. His job is to fly around the world convincing people to take personality tests, but he’s also a great guy, and him and Tom Cruise have a natural onscreen chemistry, which is why Klaatu assumed his human form, Cameron Diaz, to pair with Tom Cruise on the upcoming blockbuster “Knight and Day.”

3. Kevin James + Falling Down In Slow Motion

: No one, and I mean no one, has falling down in slow motion perfected like Kevin James. Whether it’s in the middle of chasing a ne’er-do-well through a mall, awkwardly and inappropriately in the middle of a funeral, or while trying unsuccessfully to impress a girl, Kevin James is your man. A match made in heaven, but  one that didn’t come naturally. Kevin James actually spent 12 years training at Our Lady of Slowly Falling Down, a seminary school dedicated exclusively to the art of falling down in slow motion. We recently interviewed one of Kevin James’ old teachers at the school who said, “He was a natural. His stomach rippled just enough to be funny without being distressing. I always knew he would be great.”

    There has been lots of horrible comments concerning Jennifer Aniston doing the rounds on the world wide web recently. I feel she looks wonderful, particularly after losing a few pounds.
