Martin Freeman said "It was not so much fun to film Sherlock with his former partner, Amanda Abbington, as they were separating.
The couple, who had been together for 16 years and has two children, plays together in the BBC's show as married couple John and Mary Watson.
Freeman confirmed the end of their relationship in December 2016.
He told BBC Radio 4, Desert Island Discs: "We met on a set in 2000, during a series on Men 4 and we immediately clicked.
"We got along fine, we went to a meeting a day or two later and we had been together for 16 years.
"She was and remains one of my favorite actors, I think she is a fantastic actor."
When asked how it was to work with her on Sherlock, he replied, "Horrible! No, it was good, I really like working with her.
"By the time of the last Sherlock we had finished, we were separating, so it was not very fun, but when we were not in the middle, it was great."
Freeman said he thought they were co-parenting "very good, really," adding, "I've always known that people who separate can be civil and do it for kids, everything is fine.
"I did not just want to be civilian for kids, I wanted to be civilian for us, because when you love someone for so long and that it's an integral part of your life, that's it." what is supposed not to count now?
"It does not make sense to me, so we get along well and I think the children see us well, we are just loved by the same two people from different geographical areas."
Freeman has played in Sherlock alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role since 2010, and said the pair's chemical makeup is "quite rare and certainly rarer for it to be retained by the public in this way."
He added, "Probably nothing that I did, maybe I'll never do, touched some parts of the world population in the same way as Sherlock, he just hit a lot of buttons for them. people.
"The reaction can be quite intense. So, by the time we filmed the last ones, there were fans who were so categorical that John and Sherlock were gay, they knew it and they knew that Steven (Moffat) and Mark (Gatiss) were going to write an episode where we were hold your hand. together at sundown, and so when that did not happen, there was a group of people throwing in, "This is treason."
"In other words, they invest a lot and up to a point, it's delicious. Beyond a certain point, it is more difficult. "
