Ten years and eight films' worth of teenage sexual tension have put Emma Watson and Rupert Grint in number one spot on Forbes' list of Hollywood's Top Grossing On-Screen Couples. The pair, whose characters Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley finally lock lips in the last instalment of the Harry Potter film franchise, won over real-life couple Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson of the Twilight movie series. The folks at Forbes used data from Box Office Mojo to tally box office earnings for stars who appeared as couples in films over the past five years.
As Forbes writer Dorothy Pomerantz says, in the golden years of Hollywood, actors such as Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn and Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers regularly paired up to create box-office gold. More recently, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan appeared in three films together. These days actors only tend to appear together in more than one movie if they star in a franchise. Above, in photos, is the Forbes' list of Hollywood's Top Ten Grossing On-Screen Couples. (By the way, Toy Story 3's Buzz and Woody would have made it in at number 6, if Forbes included animated films in its line-up.)
