Bruce Willis's David Addison and Cybill Shepherd's Maddie Hayes had undeniable chemistry in "Moonlighting." It turns out the same was true behind the scenes, too. "No one else was ever considered for the part when he walked in the room," she told ExtraTV at the Race to Erase MS benefit gala on May 20. "My temperature went up 10 degrees." Right then and there, Shepherd knew how her relationship with Willis was going to play out. "That meant two things to me: one, I was very attracted to him, two, I would never act on it, 'cause we were both very attracted to each other," she detailed.

Despite the sexual tension, David and Maddie were always bickering on-screen. That was also true in real life, though. "We had fights all the time," she told the Television Academy in 2021. "And that was part of the preparation." But it often got in the way of their work. "I remember at one point in the show, it had gotten to where we just hated each other," she told Entertainment Weekly in 2005.

Willis doesn't hide that aspect of their relationship, either. "We didn't get along very well on that show," he said on "The Arsenio Hall Show" in 1990. But Willis holds no grudge, attributing the friction to the busy schedule. "It's a hard thing to do, and I have no hard feelings." Shepherd feels the same way. "I will always love Bruce," she told ExtraTV.
