When it was time to go back to their individual lives after the break, they realized they both lived very separate lives but still found a way to make it work. The chemistry the two professional actors showed in the movie led people to conclude that they would be a perfect match for each other.

This was not the case though as both actors confirmed they were not in a relationship or even romantically inclined toward each other. Stating that it was for reasons best known to them but with each other’s best interest at heart, they managed to keep the romance only on the big screen. Even though Olivia once confessed that she had a huge crush on her co-star John Travolta but nothing more than a good friendship ever happened between them.
