"The Notebook" director Nick Cassavetes recently dished on what it was like working with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.

In an interview with VH1, Cassavetes said, "They were not really getting along one day on set. Really not. 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.'"

Cassavetes, who obviously couldn't afford to recast at the point in the film, decided to confine both actors in a room where he asked them to shout and scream at each other, according to Worst Previews.

He said, "We went into a room with a producer, and 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."

Cassavetes added, "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 was smoothing sailing, but it was smoother sailing."

"The Notebook," which celebrated its tenth anniversary on June 25, has been regarded as one of the most romantic movies of all time, Hollywood Take confirmed.

The Daily Mail also claimed Gosling and McAdams's on-screen flame "is often cited as one of the films with the most intense chemistry between two actors."

In a previous interview with Gosling, he said of McAdams, "We inspired the worst in each other. It was a strange experience, making a love story and not getting along with your co-star in any way. I don't know what happened. Two years later, I saw her in New York and we started getting the idea that maybe we were wrong about each other."
