"They Are The Blueprint": 27 Acting Pairs That Have So Much Chemistry, They Made These LGBTQ+ Ships The Best Of All Time
To celebrate Pride 2025, we asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which LGBTQ+ TV and movie couples have the best chemistry of all time. Here are some of their top answers: There are spoilers ahead, and submissions have been edited for length and/or clarity. Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez as Henry and Alex from Red, White & Royal Blue "They got me out of a shipping slump with how electric they are just from the trailer." —Anonymous, 40, New Zealand "Definitely Alex and Henry from RWRB. I haven't moved on from them and keep on reading fan fiction and watching fan videos. All to tide me over until the sequel is finally here." —Anonymous, 35, Belgium "They are incredible. The heart eyes are the best you will ever see. Same with the kisses and casual touches. No 1. 🥰." —Anonymous Hahn and Aubrey Plaza as Agatha and Rio from Agatha All Along "Definitely Agatha and Rio. I have never been more heartbroken or more feral than seeing those two lesbians interact. There's something so beautiful about two people who would do anything for the other (even if they deny it)." —Anonymous, 21, Georgia "Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza because their chemistry is just insane and it's the biggest loss of my life." —Anonymous, 16, UK Barrell and Dominique Provost-Chalkley as Nicole and Waverly from Wynonna Earp "Their chemistry was immediately off the charts and led to Kat going from the initial three-episode contract to permanent cast member, the actors and show going on to win multiple awards. The show sadly ended five years ago, but I will never move on from the magic that was Wayhaught." —Anonymous "Their chemistry is just through the roof. The best representation I have ever seen, and so lucky that it exists." —Anonymous, 25, Belgium Connor and Joe Locke as Nick and Charlie from Heartstopper "Kit and Joe have such great chemistry in real life, and it truly carries into the show. Both actors really deeply understand their characters and where they are coming from for each scene and every moment that it makes it seem so real and alive." —Anonymous Steinfeld and Katie Leung as Vi and Caitlyn from Arcane "'Cupcake...'" —Anonymous, 22 Minnesota Ramsey and Isabela Merced as Ellie and Dina from The Last of Us "My experience is limited, but definitely Ellie and Dina." —Anonymous, 26 Scotland Monaghan and Noel Fisher as Ian and Mickey from Shameless "They brought us everything from laughter to joy to passion to pain, and did it all with a chemistry that made it seem effortless." —Anonymous, 49, Canada "They are the blueprint!" —Anonymous "These guys were so charismatic that when the writers split them up, people complained for MULTIPLE SEASONS until they brought Mickey back. We're talking a decade-plus of these two being together, with chemistry so good they made a minor character into a member of the main cast because he married into the family. Chemistry so good they had to do an in-character announcement online to reveal they were getting back together. Also, the fact that their story isn't all sunshine and roses meant that we got to see them trying their best to support each other, even in their awful circumstances. That doesn't always work out, but it means that their finale is so much sweeter when they overcome it all." —Anonymous, 26 "They literally carried the show post-Emmy Rossum leaving! Plus, the writing and character development remained consistently good as opposed to the rest of the show." —Anonymous Turturro and Christopher Walken as Irving and Burt from Severance "I think the most recent example I can think of that I felt had great chemistry was probably John Turturro as Irving and Christopher Walken as Burt in Severance. These two actors, who typically play vastly different types of characters (and this may have even been an entirely new avenue for both of them!), had wonderful onscreen chemistry! I loved seeing them together, seeing their love story. Even though Season 2 was frustrating in a lot of ways, the way they ended the scene at the train station was beautiful ♥️." —Anonymous, 25, Michigan Anderson and Sam Reed as Louis and Lestat from Interview with the Vampire "They just have the toxic love, so well done. The second Sam Reed as Lestat looked at Louis, you just knew he was hooked. In the last scene of Season 2, when they just embraced each other and wept…I would give my left foot to know what they were saying to each other. But you know that it's something worthy of an immortal romance reunion." —Anonymous, 21 Chicago Savre and Stefania Spampinato as Maya and Carina from Station 19 "There's good chemistry on TV, and then there's chemistry that changes the entire course of a TV show, and that's really what Danielle and Stefania had on Station 19. Their work together as Maya and Carina completely transformed the show (and their characters), and it was just brilliant to watch. For me, Maya is one of the best bisexual characters on TV. Her character arc was just so authentic." —noradominick Rivera and Heather Morris as Santana and Brittany from Glee —Anonymous Levy and Noah Reid as David and Patrick from Schitt's Creek "Their wedding was one of the greatest moments of TV from the COVID era (when I finally got to binge-watch the series)." —Anonymous, 42, Sydney, Australia Merlant and Adèle Haenel as Marianne and Héloïse from Portrait of a Lady on Fire "It's sapphic perfection, and their chemistry truly is on fire. 🔥." —Anonymous, 27, Delaware Hewson and Jasmine Savoy Brown as Van and Tai from Yellowjackets "So much chemistry!" —Anonymous Kenzari and Luca Marinelli as Joe and Nicky from The Old Guard "Joe's van speech is the epitome of romance, and all their little touches and gestures make the relationship feel real." —Anonymous, 35, Portland, OR Whittaker and Mandip Gill as The Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz from Doctor Who "I'm still not remotely over the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz. They never properly realized during their time on the show, but both admitted to having feelings for each other, and they had the most wonderful relationship regardless. Bonus: In the finale of the most recent season, three years after her exit from the show, the Thirteenth Doctor returned and, when told 'I love you' by the current Fifteenth Doctor, she responded with, 'I should say that to Yaz.' SCREAMING!" —Anonymous, 22, Illinois Darby and Taika Waititi as Stede and Ed in Our Flag Means Death "They feel organic together with their different personalities, their chemistry is on point, and they never fail to make me feel warm inside." —diamond_girl_7 Madeira and Olivia Welch as Deena and Sam from Fear Street Suggested by: luxahoy Offerman and Murray Bartlett as Bill and Frank in The Last of Us "Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett blew me away. I haven't cried at an episode of television like that since. Their portrayal was so real and beautiful. It was nice to see a happy queer relationship between men, as that is not as often depicted!" —Anonymous, 35, Wisconsin Lonsdale and Tom Green as Sammy and Ollie from Dance Academy "Sammy and Ollie had excellent chemistry. We watch Sammy struggle with his sexuality for a season and a half, during which time he dates and breaks up with several girls. Then, in one episode, the dance school hosts a local football team that needs to practice their coordination. Near the end, one of the footballers asks Sammy on a date. Instead of saying he's not gay, he says he's unavailable. Sammy develops a crush on his roommate, and his friend Kat helps him explore it. The development of Sammy's sexuality comes to a head when Sammy is held back a year, Ollie is kicked off the third-year tour, and they're assigned to each other in a tutor/student relationship. Ollie is openly gay, and Sammy is still struggling with his own sexuality. The forced proximity leads Sammy to develop a crush on Ollie. Ollie lies and pretends Sammy isn't his type. There's a whole will-they-won't-they thing for a while until they both admit their feelings and begin dating. The chemistry they have together makes them both better people, better dancers, and even better friends to each other and everyone not for all the external drama concerning Sammy's family, he and Ollie should have been endgame." —Anonymous, 35, Arizona Jones and Rose Leslie as Amy and Kirsten in Vigil "I'm going to add Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie as Amy and Kirsten in Vigil. They have beautiful chemistry on and off-screen and play off of each other really well." —ravenbard Ryding and Omar Rudberg as Wille and Simon in Young Royals Suggested by: theoatcake Lotz and Jes Macallan as Sara and Ava from Legends of Tomorrow Suggested by: awfulkitten67 Brooks and Elizabeth Faith Ludlow as Leota and Keeya from Peacemaker "They're so sweet and supportive." —lovelytortoise925 Lawless and Renee O'Connor as Xena and Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess "Can't believe no one has said Xena and Gabrielle. They had the greatest couple chemistry of all time, bar none." —coolphone30 Sheen and David Tennant as Aziraphale and Crowley in Good Omens "They work together so perfectly that it's one of those rare instances where I love the show just as much as the book. Also, the friendship Michael and David developed IRL is the cutest thing ever." —aliceinautieland finally, Mary-Louis Parker and Mary Stuart Masterson as Ruth and Idgie from Fried Green Tomatoes Suggested by: keepintabs Looking for more LGBTQ+ or Pride content?

Masters Of The Universe star Nicholas Galitzine is 'so proud' of live-action film reboot
Nicholas Galitzine has loved playing He-Man in Masters Of The Universe. The 30-year-old actor took to Instagram on Monday (Jun 16) to share that he has relished the experience of playing the iconic superhero in the live-action film reboot of Masters Of The Universe. Galitzine also admitted that he feels very proud to be so heavily involved with the project, which is based on the Mattel toy line. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nicholas Galitzine (@nicholasgalitzine) The London-born star wrote on Instagram: "Well, that's a wrap on Masters of the Universe. It has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He Man. "It's been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it. There's not much I can show you, but I am so proud of the movie we've made. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew for all your hard work." Galitzine previously confirmed via a post on TikTok that filming had wrapped on the movie. He wrote on the video-sharing app: "No ships left to fly that's a wrap on masters of the universe!! (sic)" Set to release in 2026, the Travis Knight-directed movie is based on a script written by Chris Butler. The film boasts a star-studded cast that includes the likes of Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Idris Elba, Morena Baccarin, Alison Brie and Charlotte Riley. Galitzine previously revealed that he had overhauled his lifestyle in preparation for playing He-Man. The actor admitted that he was consuming around "4,000 calories a day" as part of his preparations for the role. He told W Magazine: "There's been a lot of eating and weightlifting, a lot of stunts." "I'm eating about 4,000 calories a day, but the amount of physical work I'm doing, you end up hungry at the end of the day, which is quite surprising. This is the fun part." Galitzine ultimately intended to cut down on his eating, explaining that it would likely cause his mood to change.

'Masters of the Universe' Star Gives a Huge Update, Complete With First He-Man Photo
Following in the footsteps of the legendary Dolph Lundgren, Nicholas Galitzine will wield the power of Grayskull as the first cinematic version of He-Man of the 21st century. The 2026 version of Masters of the Universe is shrouded in mystery, though, as of Father's Day, 2025, Galitzine himself has dropped a massive update. "Well, that's a wrap on Masters of the Universe," Galitzine wrote in the caption to an Instagram post on June 15. "It has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He-Man. It's been the role of a lifetime, and I put everything into it. There's not much I can show you, but I am so proud of the movie we've made. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew for all your hard work." That caption accompanied an incredible photo of Galitzine as He-Man, the first full photo of him as the character that's been officially revealed. Although He-Man and the Masters of the Universe became a popular toy line and animated series in 1984, there has not been a live-action version of the fantasy hero since the 1987 film, starring Lundgren. The new version of the movie has a very big cast, including Galitzine as He-Man, Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms, Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress, and Jared Leto as He-Man's arch nemesis, Skeletor. The film is directed by Travis Knight, with a script from Chris Butler. It is produced by Mattel, the same toy company that created the original toys, and was responsible for 2023's smash hit film, Barbie. Will Masters of the Universe be the Barbie of 2026? Who knows. For now, it's clear that Galitzine has the power.'Masters of the Universe' Star Gives a Huge Update, Complete With First He-Man Photo first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 15, 2025

Dolph Lundgren Says 'Maybe I'll Get Involved' in New 'Masters of the Universe' Franchise
In 2026, Nicholas Galitzine will redefine the character of Prince Adam/He-Man for an entirely new generation when he wields the famous power sword in the rebooted big-screen version of Masters of the Universe. Unlike Batman, James Bond, or Superman, He-Man is unique because prior to Galitzine, only one other man has played He-Man in live-action: the legendary Dolph Lundgren. Recently, Men's Journal spoke to Lundgren at length, primarily about his excellent new American-made spirit, Hard Cut Vodka. But, while chatting about cocktails, we also managed to wax nostalgic with the original master of the universe. "If you think a new He-Man movie makes you feel old, I feel old! I was in it!" Lundgren tells Men's Journal. "They've been trying to remake the picture for at least 15 years, and I'm glad they're doing it. There's a great cast, a great crew. It's a big budget picture with MGM/Amazon. I think they're doing a great job."Lundgren also reflected that the durability of He-Man is partially because of how different the character is from other types of action heroes. "Prince Adam has a bit more romanticism to the character than other superheroes. Marvel and DC are a little harder-edged," Lundgren explains. "There's something magical and childlike about it. And even though they're kind of making an adult picture, there's something soft and positive about that character." As Lundgren's successor, Galitzine, has just revealed that the new Masters of the Universe has finished filming, fans might wonder if there's a chance for cameos from the old days. Could the original He-Man somehow use the cosmic key to cross over to the newest version of Eternia? Lundgren didn't reveal anything specific, but did hint that he's certainly interested in being a part of the new franchise in some way, shape, or form. "It's a bit of a secret, but I can't say much," Lundgren says. "But yeah, maybe I'll get involved somehow. We'll see."Dolph Lundgren Says 'Maybe I'll Get Involved' in New 'Masters of the Universe' Franchise first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 16, 2025

Nicholas Galitzine Reveals How He Got Shredded to Play He-Man
Following the announcement that filming has completed on the 2026 reboot of Masters of the Universe, the new He-Man himself, Nicholas Galitzine, gave fans an epic update showcasing how he transformed into the utterly jacked, famously musclebound fantasy hero. In a series of new behind-the-scenes photos from Masters of the Universe, Galitzine shows himself in the gym, as well as boxing like a machine. "Just a lil BTS and training from the last few months. (I can't show you nada)," Galitzine wrote in the caption. Galitzine certainly didn't mess around with this training. He looks significantly larger than he appeared in his most recent film, the 2024 romance, The Idea of You. The photos also show him alongside his stunt double, wearing a pink shirt very reminiscent of what Prince Adam wore in the original Filmation cartoon back in 1984. We also get at least one look at Galitzine fight training with katanas, which probably aren't the same kinds of swords that He-Man uses in the actual movie. But then again, you never know. At least one photo showed Galitzine holding the new power sword, which looks very much like the classic power sword from the 1980s cartoon. As has been previously revealed, some of the action of Masters of the Universe will take place on contemporary Earth. This mirrors the 1987 film, which also depicted travel between the planet Eternia and Earth. But this time, the story will focus on Prince Adam having grown up on Earth (like Superman) and only learning of his heritage later. How Galitzine will handle this transition from a terrestrial Prince Adam to He-Man remains to be seen. But clearly, thanks to his incredible training, he certainly looks the Galitzine Reveals How He Got Shredded to Play He-Man first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 16, 2025
