39 Times When Famous Actors Hated Each Other And It Showed

LEGO_Joel said:
"While filming Elf, Will Ferrell irritated James Caan on set to the point that the cast was concerned that Caan was going to lose his temper. Caan’s annoyance shows up on the screen a bit.

Edit: as stories like this go, make it was only a scene or two, and maybe James was trying to maintain character between takes…?"

"I think that makes his performance a bit better. His character sure seemed to be annoyed."

MrChinaCatRider said:
"Tommy Lee Jones allegedly said some s**t to Jim Carrey on the Batman Forever set about not standing for his buffoonery, so I don’t think he was probably very fond of working with Jim Carey."

hikemarris replied:
"It's actually pretty funny the way Jim Carrey tells it. He saw TLJ at a restaurant one night while shooting the movie and went over to say hi. Tommy Lee Jones told him he hated him and said, "I cannot sanction your buffoonery"."

HuskyLuke said: "I did read something along those lines, long days of shooting in desert heat did not have either of them in their most diplomatic mindset. Hardy even admitted he was a bit of a diva at the time and that Theron, a total professional, took a dislike to him as a result (something was said like working with a method actor in the desert isn't easy)."

BoomBoomDoomDoom replied: "Hardy is notorious for his style of “find by failing” where he just makes absolutely ridiculous choices take after take while he sorts out on his own what the right way to act the scene/role should be. This leads to incredibly long days and shooting in the African desert while some clown unintelligibly mumbles his lines was not well received."

"By Fast and Furious 8 things had gotten so bad between Vin and The Rock that I'm not sure if they were ever actually on a set at the same time."

"Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is probably the most famous example."

Mst3Kgf replied:
"So much so that when the studio tried to reunite them for "Hush Hush, Sweet Charlotte", they had to use Olivia de Haviland instead of Crawford because she and Davis were poison to each other at that point."

Sinister_Blanket said:
"Uma Thurman and Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill Volume 2. Apparently, they hated each other even after they wrapped the film because, at Cannes 2004, they had to be put in separate hotels and were kept apart by hotel employees so they didn’t cause a scene with their arguments. That dynamic definitely showed in their sword fight in Budd’s trailer."

elchupacabra206 replied:
"Does anyone know the reason for this feud?"

hamishjoy replied:
"Daryl and Uma used to share a mentor, and Daryl always held resentment because Uma was favored over her. Although she never admitted it, she was also plainly jealous of Uma's skills and natural flair.

Uma's dislike for Daryl is less nuanced and a lot more straightforward - Years ago, Daryl was part of the team that shot her in the head and left her for dead.

Glad I could help."

User No 1 said: "If you couldn't see it in the movie, you could definitely see it on the publicity tour. I remember the entire cast did a late-night show, I think it was Conan, and none of them wanted to sit next to Leto. I remember Margot Robbie running to get the last available chair away from Leto."

Lili_Danube said: "Celeste Holm hated Bette Davis and in the BTS documentary, she was pretty honest about it. She even said Davis called her a b***h to her face and she was not really happy about that. Oh and "s**t, manners!!!". That line still kills me."

Bellyflops93 replied: "I have watched All About Eve more times than I can count, I even own a DVD of it and I have never heard about the feud between the two stars! Thank you for sending me down an internet rabbit hole I wasn't expecting to find myself in haha."

fromtheill said: "Wizard of Oz. The 3 men playing The Scarecrow, Lion, and Tin man all took themselves as serious actors and treated Judy Garland terribly on set. They just didn't like her and thought they were better actors than her."

"Bill Murray and Chevy Chase only have one scene together in Caddy Shack, and that almost didn't happen."

 

Mst3Kgf replied:

"Given their legendary almost brawl behind the scenes on SNL earlier, there was a lot of apprehension about putting them together again, but thankfully they kept it professional. Probably helped that Harold Ramis was directing."

Reddit user said: "Ryan Gosling hated Rachel McAdams while filming The Notebook."

CrawdadMcCray replied: "Initially, yes. Later they were a couple in real life."

Mst3Kgf said: "Particularly low was Hoffman invoking the name of her recently deceased fiance John Cazale just to get a rise out of her."

 

Shadowfox_01 replied: "No excuse, but there was last-minute script changes he blamed on her, which is when it started. I remember seeing her talk about it and he just loathed her as part of "his character". It was just how he approached his relationship with her right from the get-go. He was method-acting and went way too far. Found this too "At the time, Hoffman was getting a divorce in real life, which blurred the line of fiction when he came to work to act as a man in the midst of a troubling split. “I’m sure I was acting out on her [Streep] throughout the movie,” he told the Huffington Post. “Stuff that I was feeling toward the wife that I was divorcing in real life.”"

"Jennifer Aniston and Jay Mohr. There's a recording of Mohr being interviewed about how excited he was to get his big break, only to find out Aniston was furious he'd been cast as the other romantic lead in Picture Perfect. Something along the lines of 'You've got to be kidding me. Him?' Mohr said Aniston was so mean to him during filming that he'd go home to his mother and cry. Their lack of chemistry is painfully obvious."

"Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing didn't get along. Possibly they went back to filming Red Dawn together as well."

thxpk replied:
"I think he hated her messing scenes up all the time."

JC-Ice replied:
"He also got mad that she wouldn't do anything considered a stunt.

She was vindicated on that one, though, because he fell off the log over the creek and messed up his knee before the movie was done."

Mortegro said:
"That one always baffled me, as they had great on-screen chemistry and I've read nothing but positive things about Fillion from Molly Quinn and his cast mates from other shows."

chaosrules6 replied:
"Heard this in multiple places. A real shame because their chemistry the first few years was great."

"Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes notoriously didn’t get along on 1996’s Romeo + Juliet. Leo was described as being too nonchalant and carefree to take anything seriously while Claire Danes was too uptight and unable to have fun. Totally polar opposite personalities and I have to commend them for making it through that filming because it gave us that awful gem of a movie."

ohheyitslaila said: "This might just be a rumor, but I heard that Theo James and Shailene Woodley couldn’t stand each other while making Divergent and the sequels. James apparently thought she smelled bad because she took weird vitamins and made her own toothpaste/deodorant. In the sequels, it comes across pretty plainly on screen, IMO."

Bilups said:
"Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss apparently didn't like each other very much on the set of Jaws."

halfghan24 replied:
"Apparently, Shaw would pester Dreyfuss to the point where he almost got Dreyfuss to jump off the mast of a ship to prove his manhood before Spielberg stepped in."

david-saint-hubbins said:
"TV example, but on Seinfeld: Jason Alexander (George) hated acting opposite Heidi Swedberg as Susan, George's girlfriend--not because he disliked her personally, but as an actress.

Apparently, she initially got cast on the show not because she was funny, but because she looked a certain way for a very small role, but then they started bringing her back as George's girlfriend. When Jason found out their characters were getting engaged, Jason begged Larry David to reconsider because he felt like it just didn't work with her, and LD told him "That's why"."

CirOnn replied:
"He kinda admitted the line was taken out of context. He said that they got along just fine and that she acted just fine, but she was very by the books and did not play off of him and the rest of the cast very well, in his opinion.

Though this is exactly how Susan was supposed to be, Larry David argued, and that is probably why it worked out so well in the end."

takeitsleazy316 said: "It came out after the movie but Katherine Heigl apparently did not like Seth Rogen or Judd Apatow during the filming of Knocked Up. She thought they (and the rest of the male cast) were immature and sexist, and thought the movie was going to flop. As we know the movie ended up being a huge hit."
