Natalie Portman in 'Closer'

Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen have topped a poll rating cinema's least convincing lovers, thanks to their performances in the Star Wars movies.

In a list organised by Pearl & Dean which grouped together the votes of over 3,000 cinema-goers, Portman and Christensen's romance in Attack of the Clones was deemed to have the worst onscreen chemistry.

Also in the top ten were Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly for their work on Pirates of the Caribbean, while Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez also made the list for their movie Gigli, despite actually being real-life lovers during the shooting of the movie.

Affleck made a second appearance on the list for his role in Pearl Harbour alongside Kate Beckinsale, while Hugh Grant also makes the top ten for his romantic lead in Four Weddings and a Funeral.
