Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams steamed up screens in The Notebook - but there was tension on set, the film's director has revealed.
Film director Nick Cassavetes has revealed he was pressured to remove Rachel McAdams from the set of the romantic drama The Notebook by her leading man Ryan Gosling.
The director has opened up about tensions behind the scenes of the hit 2004 film, admitting the high drama helped to make
the movie the instant classic it became.
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the film, Cassavetes says Gosling butt heads with McAdams so much that he asked for her to be removed from the set.
"Maybe I'm not supposed to tell this story, 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'.
"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?'" Cassavetes told VH1.
