Kate and Leo. Cruz and Bardem. Pegg and Frost. Some on-screen couples exude an effortless chemistry, to the point that they keep returning to that well over and over again because, let’s face it, that lightning doesn’t strike twice. There are other actors, however, who can perform the kind of wizardry that gives them chemistry with anybody. They can just stroll in front of the camera, hit ‘em with the smolder and make any co-star or even furniture set fall in love.
For Redditor Magical_critic, it’s Lily James, citing her performances with Richard Madden in Cinderella, Ansel Elgort in Baby Driver and Zac Efron in The Iron Claw. “Her performances constantly make me forget that she’s not dating her co-stars,” they said. They then asked r/Movies, “Are there any other actors who consistently have convincing romantic chemistry no matter who their co-star is?” and Reddit remembered every time they were forcibly smitten.
