Star Wars duo 'least convincing'

The pair beat Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's performance in Gigli - which was made when they were a real life couple - into second place.

Former duo Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman also made the list with Eyes Wide Shut.

British pairing Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom were thought "too stiff upper lip" in Pirates of the Caribbean.

The 3,000 movie-goers who were surveyed for Pearl and Dean said their screen relationship was punctuated with too much old-fashioned romance and "not enough lust".

LEAST CONVINCING SCREEN PARTNERSHIPS

• 1 Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen - Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
• 2 Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez - Gigli
• 3 Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom - Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy
• 4 Madonna and Adriano Giannini - Swept Away
• 5 Catherine Zeta Jones and Sir Sean Connery - Entrapment

Catherine Zeta Jones and Sir Sean Connery's performance opposite one another in 1999's Entrapment landed in fifth place.

There was a 39-year age difference between the couple.

Affleck landed inside the top 10 for a second time, with his chemistry with Kate Beckinsale in Pearl Harbor failing to convince audiences.

Hugh Grant and Andie MacDowell's relationship in romantic comedy Four Weddings and A Funeral finished sixth in the list.

The gay romance between Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain was more convincing, with only 5% of respondents saying it failed to win them over.

Madonna also featured highly in the poll, with her dramatic relationship with Italian actor Adriano Giannini in Swept Away not managing to draw in viewers.

The pop star made the 2002 film with director husband Guy Ritchie, with the release proving to be a box office flop.
