34 Films Where The Actors Had To Play Friends Or Lovers While Hating Each Other’s Guts
Interview With ExpertSometimes, when you see any type of relationship on screen, actors have such good chemistry that it makes it seem that they actually might be involved with each other. Sometimes, it’s actually true -- we have all heard of actors getting together behind the scenes. But sometimes, the reality isn’t so sweet. Just as we find some people in our lives that we don’t like, actors also do. And sometimes, these people end up being their co-stars, who are their friends or even lovers on screen, and that undeniable chemistry turns out to be just good acting. So, today, let’s take a look at some of the rumors or proven stories about actors who apparently hate working with each other.

Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey in Batman Forever.
Editor's note:
Jim Carrey has said: “He must have been in a mid-kill-me fantasy or something like that. And he went to hug me, and he said, ‘I hate you. I really don’t like you.’ And I said, ‘What’s the problem?’ and pulled up a chair, which probably wasn’t smart. And he said, ‘I cannot sanction your buffoonery.'”
Tommy Lee Jones managed to get into his head so badly that Carrey is thinking about it 30some years later. Absolutely devastating. Absolutely hilarious.
Load More Replies...Gotta say, ‘I cannot sanction your buffoonery’ is pretty good. And when applied to Jim Carey? Pretty apt. On ya, Tommy you curmudgeonly old fart. 😁👍
He's a funny dude. I like a good grump, and he was wildly successful in out-funnying the comedian.
Load More Replies...Totally agree with Jones. Carey’s “acting”, is WAY OVER THE TOP, and borders on mental illness.
He was totally good in The Truman Show and Man on the Moon!
Load More Replies...I think the rest of the world outside of the USA would be #teamtommy. I've yet to meet anyone who can thole Jim Carrey.
Clark Gable would eat onions before his kissing scenes with Vivian Lee in Gone With the Wind.
I've also read that Clark Gable wore dentures that he never cleaned. That's an unholy smell (please clean your dentures and TAKE THEM OUT AT NIGHT!!!)
Did Bored Panda swap photos? Cos that’s definitely Clark Gable.
Load More Replies...Truth is the man was notorious for his bad breath because all his teeth were dentures.
With proper oral hygiene, dentures don't smell (or shouldn't). There's enough stigma surrounding the wearing of dentures, no need to add to it.
Load More Replies...Clark Gable didn't need onions to have horrible breath. He was famous on Hollywood sets for it. It came from a problem he had with his dentures which made them very difficult to clean effectively.
What problem would that be? I'm genuinely curious. Because I have a denture and it's easy to clean and keep fresh. The only reason I know of that they would not be cleaned effectively is only by the person not choosing to clean them.

Dirty Dancing. They were sick of each other's s**t since Red Dawn.
Editor's note:
Patrick Swayze in his memoir wrote: "We did have a few moments of friction", "She seemed particularly emotional, sometimes bursting into tears if someone criticized her."
They made up over the years, and Jennifer Grey even fondly reminisced about working with Swayze.
Also, she got the role through connections (father was a Broadway big name) and put little effort in the job.
Load More Replies...I saw somewhere that it was the case at the beginning, but later they sorted that out
Yes. Out of all the billions of female specimens of any species, *you* are the only one that hated this movie. And you know what? I bet it makes everyone want to pick you! ;p
Load More Replies...I almost broke my neck doing “the lift” on the back of my couch ! My head was falling forward, my arms were back and gravity was happening 😂not sure how I made it out of that predicament but I did 😂
I just looked it up. Johnny was 25, not 30 something. Not that it makes their relationship better.
Load More Replies...We all know what kind of feeling hate is, right? Well, if you don’t live under a rock where you are isolated from all kinds of feelings, you must have felt hate at least once in your lifetime. Maybe it wasn’t raging hate, where you become violent or even worse. Maybe it was just an intense, uncomfortable mixture of fear, mistrust, and dislike. Either way, you must have felt it.
Sometimes, hate is directed toward a thing or concept. For example, some things tend to be universally despised by most people. It can range from quite unserious things like life stories before recipes in blogs to serious ones like corrupt politicians.
Yet, sometimes, people simply hate other people. We can all agree that we aren’t the most friendly species to ever live. In fact, we probably are one of the most aggressive ones. Just take a look at our history, and you won’t need any other proof.
Julia Roberts and [take your pick].
Editor's note:
Julia Roberts had a reputation for being a little bit difficult to work with, especially during her early career. There are rumors that she clashed with nearly all of her co-stars.
There was a reason why she was called Tinker Hell on the set of Hook.
And she was irritating as that character to viewers as well...
Load More Replies...I liked her Erin Brokovitch. Admittedly, there's a bunch of actors who could've nailed it, but her energy was unmatched.
Load More Replies...I’ve always found her to come across as unlikable on screen as well, so this tracks.
I expect early in her career everyone with any sense of power assumed they could touch her and were smarter than her. F Hollwood.
In any other age, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, and Annette Benning would be classified as "B-actresses" at best. But in today's market, they are stars! Go figger...And people say SPORTS people are overpaid!
Bill Murray and Lucy Liu supposedly hate each other, after he played her mentor in the *Charlie's Angels* movies.
Editor's note:
There's gossip that Bill Murray told Lucy Liu "You can't act!"
Brent Spiner said that the cat who played Data's pet Spot on *Star Trek: The Next Generation* was "the worst actor he ever worked with".
There were a few Spot actors. Male most of the time but then one female for plot convenience in TNG episode 'Genesis'.
There's a local band here called The Doubleclicks who sing a song about spot. "Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;Your visual, olfactory, and auditory sensesContribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses." Yeah they turned Data's poem from the show into a song. You can find them on YouTube.
Load More Replies...For a while I thought that cat's name was Spock. Which would have been awesome. :)
Bill said she took herself way too serious.. The more she tried ignoring him, the more he ridiculed her. And we all know how relentless he can be.
Yeah, I'm not surprised he tried to blame her, but I bet he can't take it nearly as much as he likes to dish it out.
Load More Replies...There isn't. It's just someone making two entries at once.

Sharon Stone and William Baldwin did not get along while making Sliver.
Editor's note:
Sharon Stone and William Baldwin have been beefing for a while now, with each of them making serious allegations against each other.
Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel couldn't even be filmed together in Fast & Furious 8.
Editor's note:
Dwayne has said that it came down to them having different approaches to how they do the job.
Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer during Magic Mike. There's a reason why Pettyfer was a one and done in the franchise.
Editor's note:
Channing Tatum thought casting Alex was a big risk and on set Alex could feel the dislike.
William Shatner and everyone who isn't Leonard Nimoy on Star Trek. Those feuds went on for decades and into the grave for many of them.
Editor's note:
William Shatner has a decades-long feud with George Takei, who revealed that William didn't get along with anyone on the Star Trek set.
Shatner, at least, has seemed to have had some kind of revelation about being a dillweed after going into space for real. Thank goodness because he was being obnoxious for a LONG time.
Shatner's ego got so big he was convinced it was him who passed the Kobayashi Maru test and not James T Kirk. Legendary becauss of his ego more so than his role as Captain of the Enterprise.
Shatner was asked about why Takei didn't like him (or something similar). He answered, ".....I don't know the guy....." Dude, you were on TV with him for two seasons, in six movies with him and countless conventions together. Do you think the fact that you don't know him after all these years my be an indication as to at least part of the problem?
It's possible that Shatner just didn't like pedophiles.
Load More Replies...I read when Shatner was first approached about Star Trek, he read the script at least twice and was counting his lines and compared them to the other characters lines to see how many lines they had. He wanted to make sure he had more lines than any other character.
Interestingly, Shatner and Nimoy had stopped speaking to each other not long before Nimoy died. Shatner always claimed Nimoy was the one who stopped making contact, and that he never knew why. I've long suspected even Nimoy had gotten sick of the Ego That Walks Like a Man.
What happened between Diesel and Rock that they hate each other so much?
We tend to hate each other so often that hatred can be split into different types:
- Microaggressions – subtle, often accidental actions or comments that demean individuals;
- Hate speech – more intentional actions or comments of hate;
- Hate crimes – criminal actions committed as acts of hate;
- Cyberbullying – spreading hate online.
Anyone can become someone’s target due to proper and improper grounds. For example, sometimes, a person can annoy a person, intentionally or not, and with time, that annoyance can turn into hatred. That’s just how our brains are wired. In 2022, it was reported that 90% of Americans say they have a co-worker that annoys them. So, it’s no surprise that we see so many people complaining (or joking) online about hating their coworkers.
R2D2 and C-3PO.
Anthony Daniels was apparently a massive d**k to Kenny Baker, but from what I've heard he's that way to most people.
Yes but R2D2 sucked it up everytime....that's why they made him into a little prototype for Swedish Vacuum manufacturers. Lol.
My mom still has her old Rainbow canister vacuum from the 60s. After Star Wars came out I always thought it looked like R2D2. (Seriously good vacuum, btw. Don't make 'em like they used to!)
Load More Replies...Also... was Daniels being in character? R2-D2 and C-3PO quarrelled constantly, with 3PO always putting down R2.
If they wanted a prissy princess for C-3PO, they should've gone with Joan Rivers.
My uncle was a grip on the set of Roseanne during the time Tom Arnold joined the cast (he was a writer and wrote himself into the show) he said it was pandemonium anytime he was on set and did not get along with anyone in the cast including his wife.
He left and joined the show “Dinosaurs” as a grip which he said was a breeze compared.
I've heard both he and Roseanne were just awful to be around. You weren't allowed to make eye contact or talk to them.
I suspect his trailer-trash bigot lowlife wife was the cause of all that. You can't buy class, Roseanne.
Not a movie, but on the show I Love Lucy, William Frawley and Vivian Vance played a married couple and absolutely loathed each other IRL.
Editor's note:
A feud started with Vivian being unhappy with the age difference between them, which turned into mutual dislike.
He was pretty awful to everybody, from what I've read.
Load More Replies...If what I have read is true, Frawley had a serious problem with alcohol.
Vance didn't like Lucy at first, since Lucy the producer insisted that Vance's character Ethel remain old, fat, and dowdy. But they ended up being close friends.
Load More Replies...22 years!!! Holy smokes, no wonder Vivian was upset, she was paired with an OLD man and forced to look heavier and frumpier than Lucy. And according to IMDB it was not about age, it was a clash of two driving strong personalities.
She ordered champagne for everyone in the restaurant she was in when she heard that Frawley passed away.
As The Simpsons point out, what people hang out with their landlords all the time?
I don’t think so. He had a reputation for being drunk and Arnaz said if he showed up even once drunk, they’d fire him. And he never did.
Load More Replies...Well, as we said previously, actors are humans, too. Sometimes, they can simply be annoyed by or hate their coworkers. The only thing that’s different for them in their job is that they might have to act like they’re best friends or even in love with that co-worker. To talk a little bit more about that, Bored Panda reached out to film critic and host of the Girls On Film podcast, Anna Smith.
She said that the actors’ dislike for each other shouldn’t technically be an issue as long as they can do their job of acting.
Looking at this list, we can clearly see that, quite a lot of times, actors can pull it off, and sometimes, they do it so well that it might be hard to see how these people can’t stand each other.
Abbott and Costello hated each other. But they were very successful, so they put up with each other.
Editor's note:
In 1945 Abbott hired a maid who had previously worked for Costello, starting a feud in a duo.
Not a movie, but Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman were not friendly off the Mythbusters set. They had (and still have) what they both describe as immense professional respect for each other's work, but they have never been friends.
Jamie Hyneman said in an interview "If you're like me, then what's the use of you? I need someone different to work with. I think you see this setup as a very kind of Yin and Yang setup that worked well in the MythBusters" And it absolutely worked too. I have worked with people like that, and I agree that despite me not being their friend they were damn good workers and would absolutely give them a recommendation if they asked
They spent so much time together working that why on earth would they hang out OUTSIDE of work? That's too much.
Load More Replies...Abbott's cruelty to Costello was legendary. It echoes in his characters, but then they wrote their characters.
Bob Elliot, of the comedy duo Bob and Ray, explained the lack of friction between them. "We record our show in a studio in Connecticut. I live fifty miles west of the studio, and Ray lives fifty miles east."
Hating each other but putting up with one anothedue to mass success seems to be a lot more common than we'd like to think.
I don't think they hated each other so much as spent countless hours working together in a situation where socializing is more difficult because of the dangerous aspect of the things they were pulling off.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes in Romeo+Juliet.
Editor's note:
Claire Danes thought of Leo as a little immature, while he thought she was uptight.
Naturally she thought DiCaprio was immature. She was way too old for him.
Susan Sarandon hated Tim Curry on the set of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. You can see the moment during "You Better Wise Up, Janet Weiss" where she legit knees him in the balls when running away from him on the stairs. She saw her chance and took it.
They definitely weren't friends on camera either but they do qualify as lovers in that movie.
To add on, for years Susan Sarandon would bring up how she caught pneumonia while filming RHPS in the pool scenes. Then there was a group interview from the 2010s that included Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry. Susan once again brought up how she caught pneumonia during filming and Tim Curry goes "Yeah and she hasn't shut up about it since." Lol!
i've heard of viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia, but never cold pool pneumonia!
Load More Replies...I'm sure they were both insufferable on the set, but if I had to choose one over the other, Tim Curry all the way. Sexy MF
If it's true that she kneed him in the balls and if it's true that it was deliberate, it's not only unprofessional: it's assault, a criminal act, and to be quite frank about it, isn't it really past time that genital assault against men and boys stopped being treated as a joke?
Susan and Barry Bostwick were an actual couple at the time. In retrospect you can kind of tell.
Lotsa people LOVE Tim Curry, but he NEVER came off likeably. Always wondered whether it was his character so often called for the same prickishness, or he just brought that part of him every where her went,
You are correct, but likeability doesn't really apply to him. Likeable assumes a yearning on his part to be liked, which is most definitely not there. Charm is a more accurate description for him. He is very charming, even when he played villains. Especially when he played villains. Part of that charm is the indifference to being liked. To each their own.
Load More Replies...Yet, sadly, gossip media sniff out some “juicy” stories about actors not getting along and make it a way bigger deal than it actually is, which Anna called lazy and harmful. She also gave an example: “Women are so often pitted against each other as well. When in truth, most women in the industry really support one another, as I've found by interviewing them for Girls On Film.”
And if there is some mild bad blood between any women or actors of any other gender, the gossip media might complicate the dynamics even more by making it public and not giving the people privacy to solve things on their own terms, making their job harder than it should be.
Did any of the pairings in the list surprise you? Share them with us in the comments!
Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei in the Wrestler. They would have people stand in for each other whenever possible during dialogue scenes so that they didn’t have to be around each other for a moment longer than necessary.
Is that him though or is it the roles he was typecast in? I don't really recall any major scandals about his offscreen life.

Bea Arthur couldn’t stand Betty White on The Golden Girls.
Editor's note:
Bea thought Betty's behavior was unkind to Estelle Getty, who played Sophia on the same show.
Bea was from the theater, Betty was used to working in television. Two different disciplines
Bea was on Maude for years. She was certainly used to working on TV.
Load More Replies...This rumor has been shown to be false time and again. The cast was all very close and enjoyed their working environment.
Mine was like Bea Arthur, lol, but with a dash of Blanche (the character).
Load More Replies...WHAT??? This contradicts everything I ever read about her on BP! Next thing you're gonna tell me she's rooting for the crocodile!
This is false. Bea didn't think Betty's behaviour to Estelle was unkind. Bea hated that Betty was always upbeat and happy. Bea also didn't get on with Rue (Blanche). If you look at Bea's wardrobe throughout the show, it's clear she wasn't liked by the production crew either. They always gave her the most ghastly outfits to wear. Google "bea wedding dress golden girls" for proof. It looks like it's made of toilet rolls. Betty White was famous for being kind, warm and friendly to everyone. Few people had a kind word to say about Bea, however.
Poor ferrets in the cages. Why do people put them in cages but let dogs and cats roam free. Mine have never had a cage and they get along with the dogs, cats and house goat
Those were minks in the picture. They were trying to breed them in that episode. Yes, I'm embarrassed that I remember that.
Load More Replies...Those two were just very different types of people. They were both delightful on their own, but were just not meshable personalities.

In Caddyshack, Ty and Carl’s scene together is remarkably chill considering how much Chevy Chase and Bill Murray despised one another.
Editor's note:
The feud started when Bill Murray made a rude comment about Chevy Chase’s marriage to Jacqueline Carlin, Chase bashed Murray's physical appearance and they got into a brawl.
Considering Chase left because they wouldn't make him THE star, it's more that the feud started with Chevy's ego.

No one really remembers the movie, but Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts hated each other in I Love Trouble.
Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon didn’t get along in Four Christmases. Vaughn prefers to improv while Reese wanted to stick to the script so she could prepare her reactions.
Poor Julia, Denzel Washington had trouble playing opposite her as well. I read somewhere he hated touching her and as for kissing they usually had to hire a double to shoot the scene.
The Pelican Brief? That was a John Grisham movie and they didn't have any love scenes that I remember. They barely had any scenes together at all. It was entirely exposition with occasional car explosions. I don't know. I may be wrong about a movie I haven't seen in more than 20 years ago.

I completely believe that Hill and Mintz-Plasse didn’t like each other. Did we see the same movie?
Seth Rogen said that their irl tension is part of why they cast the guy as McLovin.
I kinda get the impression that Jonah Hill doesn't really l like anybody
Harrison Ford and Sean Young in Blade Runner.
Editor's note:
Some believe the mutual dislike came from actors having different acting methods.
Patrick Swayze/Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing Tony Curtis/Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot Johnny
Editor's note:
Tony Curtis has made a derogatory comment about kissing Marilyn.
Depp/Angelina Jolie in The Tourist.
Editor's note: Both of the actors were annoyed by each other due to various reasons.
From browsing the 'net it seems not too many other actors enjoy working with Angelina Jolie
I met her outside an awards ceremony- I said hello, wow so nice to meet you and she looked me up and down and gave me the dirtiest 'you are so below me' look anyone has ever given me, said hello and moved on. Only one other celebrity has looked at me remotely close to that but she was mainly famous in the UK so I won't go into it.
Load More Replies...Re Some Like It Hot: Well, nobody's perfect. (The ENTIRE movie is a set-up for one line... and it worked.)
The Tourist was a terrible film and they both actors were bad in in (especially Depp) but for some reason it was nominated for a couple of Golden Globes that year (best film, actor and actress).. They decided to put it in the Musical or Comedy genre and I (having watched the film) thought “it’s supposed to be a comedy? Pretty sure it was a drama but the film was so bad that they pretended it was supposed to be a comedy.”
Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny definitely have had tense periods. They seemed friendly a while back (Gillian joining him on stage on his tour) but apparently they are ‘feuding’ again. During the X-Files years they were definitely not friendly and it came out in interviews. .
This was about how Duchovny made so much more money than Anderson, and Duchovny being a real ars about it. Edit: dyslexiatax
Sometimes it makes sense for a female role to get less money. They might have a smaller role, less time, less important to the plot etc (same logic applies to male actors too btw). But absolutely not in the X-Files, it's a show where they really were equally important. The show doesn't work without Scully as the eternal Skeptic so she absolutely deserved equal money.

Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep’s Kramer Vs Kramer feud is legendary.
Editor's note:
While filming one of the argument scenes Dustin slapped Meryl, which was improvised. Later, Meryl voiced that she believes that Dustin overstepped the line with his violent behavior.
Dustbin Hoffman (Thank you, Mad Magazine) has talent, but not subtlety. She can act circles around him.
Dustin Hoffman also didn’t get along with Robin Williams and Bob Hoskins on the set of Hook.
dustin is also very handsy w/ female costars...if you listen to stories when he was rooming with robt. duvall and occassionally living with gene hackman and his wife...total creepy perv...
That's an interesting way of saying he slapped her and harassed her on set.

You wouldn't know it from the onscreen results, but Richard Gere and Debra Winger apparently didn't get along at all filming "An Officer and a Gentleman.".
Watched that recently. The lack of chemistry was obvious in my opinion.
she just did not get along w/ most people on set...she was the hot new starlet in everything, then her career tanked...you be nice.
Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde in Don't Worry Darling.
Editor's note:
Florence Pugh said that she believed that Olivia Wilde reduced the movie to only its intimate scenes, which caused a strain to their relationship.
Of course, one fancied Harry and the other one dated him. Both denied being jealous but even a blind man would have noticed.
I've seen other stories about Olivia not being well-liked. I bet Jason Sudeikis could confirm. lol
I know this is movies but in GoT Leana headey, (Cersei) and the actor who plays Bron, previously dated and f*****g despised each other. The had to do some rewrites and in one of the final episodes, in the dragon pit, Brons character sees Cersei walk in and sit down and he just goes, “come on pod, let’s go have a drink.” And walks off.
According to Flynn, this wasn't the case, just media gossip. They did very few scenes together though.
During filming of The Notebook, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams did not get along. Ironic enough, they ended up dating each other after filming.
Mad Max Fury Road: Not necessarily best friends in the film. But Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron did not get along in the beginning of filming. Charlize said that she was frustrated with how cold and stand offish Tom was BTS.
Edit: I was wrong for the reason between Charlize and Tom. Please look at Stinkycheese response to my comment.
Stinkycheese clarified in the comments that: "That’s not at all what Charlize said. And “cold and standoffish” is definitely not how Hardy was described.
I've disliked her ever since her derogatory comment about Halle Berry after Charlize won her Oscar

Richard Dreyfuss feuded with Robert Shaw in Jaws and Bill Murray in What About Bob?
Editor's note:
Richard's and Robert's feud started because Robert was annoyed by arrogance and relative inexperience of his co-star.
In 2019 Richard alleged that at one point during the production of What About Bob Murray screamed at him while intoxicated "Everyone hates you! You are tolerated!" and then threw an ashtray at him.
Legit though, Dreyfuss' dislike of Bill Murray in What About Bob really makes the movie that much better.
I'm a fan of Bill Murray, but he needs to keep his tantrums to himself.
Bram Stoker's Dracula. Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder couldn't stand each other and would often get into fights in between takes. On the TV side, I know that David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson from the X-Files didn't get along in real life even though made some incredible promo pictures and like that Rolling Stone cover. I also read that Nathan Fillion had to do couples therapy with Stana Katic in order to even be around her during Castle.
Bram Stoker's Dracula (or more accurately, Francis Ford Copola's Dracula) was simply horrible. Have you ever heard WORSE English accents than Wynonna or Keanu? Both are excellent actors....but please!....leave the accents alone! I'd say the same for Kevin Costner.....his New Orleans accent in "JFK" and his Boston accent in "Thirteen Days" are laughable.
well...good actors have never really liked working w/ winona ryder...possibly b/c she only played the same teen angst character...and that doesn't work acorss genres...but, she's very good at teen angst...love heathers
Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. Though to be fair, their feud happened after Wayne's World. I'm not sure whether they got along on set or not, and they seem to be on okay terms now.
The former Saturday Night Live castmates drifted apart after Carvey thought Myers stole the Dr. Evil character from him. theres a clip online of Carvey explaining.
But is there's anything Master of Disguise proves, it's that Dana Carvey's characters mostly sucked. "Turtle Turtle". Ugh.
Load More Replies...Myers never wanted the Garth character. Wayne was supposed to be solo.
In Hot Fuzz Nick Frost and Simon Pegg got into a fight and wouldn't speak to each other for days, with Edgar Wright having to be the go between.
But they are brilliant together! So many good movies and I'm having a brain fart on the TV series. But it's so funny. They are òne of my favourite comedy duos.
Bet you Simon Pegg isn't as hot headed and argumentative around Tom Cruise. 🙄😜
And neither would Nick Frost be. I'm sure they'd both be more worried about Tom Cruise sucking the life out of them and replacing them with pod people, or whatever the hëll Scientology is advocating now.

End of Watch. Not so much hate but just didn’t like/care about the other. Gyllenhaal said it took a lot of work for him and Peña to build chemistry .
Look up Werner Herzog and Klaus Klinski. Klinski seems like truly one of the worst men in cinema history. They hated/respected each other. Yet fitzcarroldo and Aguirre, the wrath of god are two of the best movies ever made and Klinski is incredible in both.
His name was Kinski (right) and he was a real nutcase. fl-1810-20...a28b43.jpg
And quite possibly abused and raped his daughters
Load More Replies...Kinski was a disgusting POS! He raped and SA his daughter and targeted anyone around. I never could stand him before I knew about it but now I would never rewatch his movies again. I simply can't stand looking at him.
And when you see him on screen you always get the feeling that he is slightly insane. 🤷♀️ or maybe that's just me 🙈
Load More Replies...Seen him in a few of his early films in German cinema and he is deranged in them too. I think he was once incarcerated in a mental hospital suspected of being in Schizophrenic crisis, where they diagnosed him as a psychopath instead.
Klaus Kinski and Gary Bussey have always had my respect, or at least fascinated attention, for being unabashedly and completely insane, yet cast in movies anyway, like throwing batteries into a campfire just to see what happens.
There's a story in circulation that when they were making "Fitzcarraldo", an extra (the chief of a native tribe) made a completely serious offer to Herzog to kill Kinski for him, and Herzog is reported to have actually considered taking him up on it (he ultimately didn't, of course).
Watch "My Best Fiend" about Herzog and Kinski's relationship. You realize by the end that Kinski was the more sane of the duo. Herzog is quite nuts.
Penn & Teller did a movie together called *Penn & Teller Get Killed*. They are famous for not being friends outside their work. I don’t think they hate each other, but they’re not close.
Like I said before, isn't doing that much work together enough to constitute hanging out? Why oversaturate your social life?
Yep. People don't expect to be best buddies with their coworkers in other professions, but they seem to think actors should be.
Load More Replies...I've been work friends with people for many years at a time. You get along great at work, but there's no reason to complicate things with a personal relationship. You already see them more than you see your own family. Why would you want to see them more?
They both openly say that they are "work friends." They get along, but they have very different personalities and don't really hang out together.
Dexter, the lead actor was married to the actress that played his sister Deb on the show. During the shows run he cheated on her, they got divorced etc and reports were that things were tense on set for the final few seasons. Also on Game of Thrones Cersie’s actress dated the sword for hire guy (Bron I think) that taught Arya how to sword fight in season one. Once they broke up she refused to be in scenes with him so famously he was left out of many big scenes in the later half of the show.
Lazy. There's a thing called Google, or even better imdb, on which one can find out these names before posting.
I agree. I am bad with names. While I don't always Google when it's a minor or one time character. But I always research to get actors names.
Load More Replies...Bron doesn't teach Arya to swordfight. A teacher of swordfighting does that.
The person who teaches Arya was a master swordsman from bravos.
Load More Replies...By this time everybody should be wondering why John Travolta hasn't been mentioned anywhere? And why not? Because John is such a sweetheart and we all love John. Haha.
The leads in Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, had amazing on-screen chemistry but reportedly couldn't stand each other behind the scenes. They were still professional on set though.
I can only imagine Martin Freeman flipping birds left and right whenever his partner had his back turned :D
Both fantastic actors. A little bit of hate wouldn't stop the show from being done properly.
I once read in an interview something along the lines of freeman saying that only because actors protrayed friends in a TV show it doesn't automatically mean that they were bffs in real life, and that they are professional with each other. I was a bit disappointed because that would have been so cool for them to be friends irl as well. However, then I read that Freeman was either best man at Cumberbatch's wedding, or godfather to his kid (I don't remember which one it was, I think best man), so they must be sort of friends irl. Perhaps not Sherlock & Watson level friends, but friends.
god forbid we dont have every detail about someones private life?

Why do you think Timmy kept "falling" in the well?

Dame Diana Rigg was the first name to be attached to the Bond film, ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’. Her disappointment when she found out Connery had bailed and he’d been replaced by George Lazenby was huge. Before every scene they had together she would eat lots of garlic, especially for their kissing scenes! Even the director of the film lost all patience with Lazenby and would refuse to talk directly to him. He would get the Assistant Director to tell him what to do even if they were all in the same room as him!
Diana Rigg and George Lazenby on On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Rigg is another one who pulled the "onions before kissing" routine. Also, not a film, but Harry H Corbett and Wilfred Brambell grew to hate each other on Steptoe and Son but were reliant on each other to continue working...life imitating art
George Lazenby was so full of himself for someone with so little talent that I'm surprised anyone would get along with him
Load More Replies...Not a single mention of Walter Matthau despising Barbra Streisand in Hello, Dolly!? The not kiss at the end is because of this.
Even people who like each other a lot and even people who are good friends do not like each other all the time, nor do they like everything about each other. Especially when people work long hours under pressure, sometimes it can become difficult to be around each other until the pressure eases off and the workload decreases. You can try to be as professional as you can, but even people who are close can need space. Although I know of a number of actors who couldn't stand each other EVER, I think a number of these are just people who had a difficult moment here or there.
