* Chris Pine and ZacharyQuinto of ''Film/StarTrek''.

** Of course, ZacharyQuinto has been described as having chemistry with anyone and everyone, so combined with the above mentions of Zoe Saldana and Chris Pine, you might as well say that he qualifies as a RealLife LauncherOfAThousandShips.

* Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto of ''Film/StarTrek''.
** Certain interviewers appear to ship Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana, too.

* In ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' fandom, nobody thinks anything of 'shipping the hell out of Milo Ventimiglia/Hayden Panettiere (who did date in real life for a while), Milo Ventimiglia/Kristen Bell, Milo Ventimiglia/Adrian Pasdar, Zachary Quinto/Hayden Panettiere, Zachary Quinto/Milo Ventimiglia, and Zachary Quinto/Kristen Bell.

* Oddly enough, some {{SVU}} fans think that Elliot' and Olivia's ''actors'' have more chemistry than their ''characters'' . But they are the E/O tinhats.

* Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, as of the new SherlockHolmes movie. Like Pine and Quinto above, their interactions during interviews really do not help matters.

* ''NuWho'''s DavidTennant and BilliePiper are a popular subject for the same reasons as above. Freely declaring their love for each other in public and mentioning each other randomly in interviews even when not talking about DW doesn't help, even though Billie is now married and a mother.

* Very common in {{Supernatural}} RealPersonSlash; the relevant nickname is "J2." This is because, in the earliest seasons, it was impossible to make an InUniverse ship of any durability that had neither {{Original Character}}s nor incest.

* There's a small sect of people who ship Mary McDonnell and Edward James Olmos, purely based on the immense amount of chemistry they had in BattlestarGalactica. They even admitted that they had great chemistry and loved working with the other.

** Ironically, Blake Lively and Penn Badgerly did not get so much of this, even though they played the season one alpha couple Serena and Dan, and the actors are living together in real life.
* An astonishing number of people seem to ship [[MammaMia Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep]], even though they are ''both'' happily married (to Keely Shaye-Smith and Don Gummer, respectively) and have been for quite some time. On the other hand, they quite obviously adore each other, and Pierce once referred to [[MerylStreep Meryl]] as "that gorgeous blonde I had a terrible crush on in drama school"...

* Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, as of the new SherlockHolmes movie. Like Pine and Quinto above, their interactions during interviews really do not help mattters.

* Certain people in the ''HarryPotter'' fandom (mainly Harry Potter/Hermione Granger shippers) ship Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson.

** There are also a lot of people who ship Lea Michele with Jonathan Groff (even though the latter is gay) since their ''SpringAwakening'' days. Hilariously, one of those people happens to be Lea's own father, who according to Lea has offered Jon "millions" to marry her. Lea will also often call Jon the "love of her life" and, when asked by a fan at a Glee event when she and Jon were gonna get married, promptly responded "hopefully soon".

* Due to being the original Glinda and Elphaba in Wicked, certain fans ship Chenzel, KristinChenoweth and IdinaMenzel. Despite the fact Idina is married with kids. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVgisIOJlcE This video]] (specifically when she kisses Kristin before her own husband, TayeDiggs...)

* Certain people feel this way about LeonardoDiCaprio and KateWinslet after the movies in which they've co-starred. Of course, Kate professing her 13-year love for Leo during the 2007 Golden Globes before the audience, Leo giving her a ring with a secret inscription carved inside as a present, and Kate's failing marriage after shooting ''RevolutionaryRoad'' with Leo does NOT help matters.

* Tabloid magazines/papers do this all the time for actors and actresses in TV shows and movies.

* [[{{Wicked}} Chenzel.]] That is all.

* In ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' fandom, nobody thinks anything of 'shipping the hell out of Milo Ventimiglia/Hayden Panettiere (who did date in real life for a while), Zachary Quinto/Hayden Panettiere, Zachary Quinto/Milo Ventimiglia, and Zachary Quinto/Kristen Bell.
