Acting is a multifaceted, interesting and extremely complex art. They often have to play on-screen feelings in romantic scenes, which is also a very difficult task. Sometimes the chemistry between the actors is clearly visible in the game, and sometimes there is no hint of sincerity. Forum users shared which actors are the most “wooden” for them in terms of romantic scenes.
