Alright, for today’s video we are talking about actor’s who might not have liked playing
the part as much as we liked watching them in it.
We all have our favourite movie and TV show characters, but do you ever wonder how much
the actor likes playing it?
Turns out, there are some actors who actually HATE the role that we’ve grown to love.
Let’s check out who some of these people are with today’s list of Top 10 Actors Who
Hated Their Iconic Role.
10.
Starting off our list at number 10 is Robert Pattinson.
He won over the hearts of many girls when he starred as Edward Cullen in the Twilight
series.
However, it’s no secret that he hates the franchise more than anyone else.
He’s been open about his feelings for years and has had no problem bashing and insulting
the movie during interviews.
He especially didn’t like the role he played.
He said it felt like his character was depressed and had no emotion which was incredibly boring
to portray for so many years.
When the actor did an interview with Buzzfeed he was asked if he was happy with the pay
he got for the movies and his response was “could’ve been better”.
He also went on to diss the author of the book, Stephanie Meyer, calling her mad and
said it’s a book that should’ve never been written.
9.
At number 9 we have Carrie Fisher, the iconic actress known for her role of Princess Leia
in the early Star Wars years.
It’s hard to imagine she didn’t enjoy the role that made her wildly famous for decades
to come.
Turns out, that’s one reason why she didn’t like it, because it made her famous.
During an interview when she was asked if she would have taken the role had she known
the film would turn out so big, she responded with: I would never have done it.
All I did when I was really famous was wait for it to end.
In November, 2016, she opened up in an interview about her time on set as Princess Leia and
the affair she had with her married and much older co-star, Harrison Ford.
When she was first cast for the movie she was only 19 years old, which she says was
an insecure and lonely time.
She felt isolated on set and says she didn’t have anyone to confide in, especially Ford
because he was married.
The story didn’t break news until 2016 when Fisher found diaries she had written in during
filming all those years ago.
She decided to turn her diary entries into a book and fans were absolutely stunned.
Although she loves the movies, she remembers that role being a very difficult time and
admitted she wouldn’t do it over again.
8.
Taking over our number 8 spot is Blake Lively, known for pretty much all her roles but mainly
for her character as Serena Van Der Woodsen on Gossip Girl.
She took on the lead role in the TV series for 6 years, which put her under a big spotlight.
That’s the one thing Blake says she didn’t like about playing the part.
Her character didn’t make the best of decisions throughout the series and fans often couldn’t
separate the character from Lively herself.
During an interview with Allure back in 2015, the actress opened up about the difficulties
she had portraying her wild-child character.
She admitted that it was, I quote: personally compromising and stopped being fun after a
while.
She addressed the fact that her character gave someone cocaine which made the person
overdose, and also the fact that she slept with someone else’s boyfriend.
Blake explained she isn’t proud of her character and said: It always felt personally compromising
– you want to be putting a better message out there.
Well- we can respect her for being honest about that, it’s a shame that she took so
much heat for her characters bad choices.
7.
Sliding into the number 7 spot is Sean Connery, known for one of his iconic roles, James Bond.
He’s not known for his performance but is more known for the controversy he caused regarding
his role.
He’s made it very clear how much he hated taking on that role.
He said during an interview, I quote: I have always hated that damned James Bond.
I’d like to kill him.
He went on to explain that he hates not being able to shed off the character after all these
years.
In most interviews, he refuses to even speak about the role.
However, one interview got the actor a lot of hate.
During an interview with Playboy, the actor spoke on Bond’s tendencies with women and
he said: I don’t think there is anything particularly wrong about hitting a woman.
If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually, then I’d do it.
You can imagine the reaction he received from people once the interview was published.
I’m just wondering why he did it then if he hated it THIS much.
6.
At number 6 is Shailene Woodley, the actress who rose to stardom after taking on her role
in the TV series The Secret Life of an American Teenager.
She took on the role of Amy Jeurgen’s who made the dramatic choice to leave her 3 year
old son and go off to college.
Shailene worked on the show for 5 years and said that by the end of us, she wanted out
but was unable to leave due to a contract.
In 2013, during an interview with Flaunt, she admitted and I quote: It’s like anything
in life, whether you’re an actor or you work in an insurance office, if you want to
be able to leave your job, it’s nice to be able to leave your job.
But when you’re in contract, unfortunately, you can’t do that.
When asked what it was that made her dislike the job so much she explained that decisions
her character was preaching on the show didn’t match up with her own integrity and morals.
She said it was hard showing up to work every day knowing millions of young adults would
see these themes which she would personally never want to send out.
5.
Half way through the list at number 5 is Channing Tatum.
Some people might know him for his stripping in the Magic Mike movies, while others will
know him as the actor was got to play G.I Joe.
For a lot of G.I Joe fans, taking on that role would be a dream come true.
Well for this actor, apparently it was forced.
In 2015, during his appearance on The Howard Stern Show, he was honest about his feelings
on the movie.
He stated: Look, I’ll be honest.
I hate that movie.
I was pushed into doing it.
He revealed that when he agreed to do the first movie he signed a 3-pictuire deal with
Paramount Pictures.
When asked about what he disliked so much he blamed the script saying that it wasn’t
any good.
He also said straight up that he grew up every morning watching the show and he didn’t
really know if he wanted to take on that role.
Even though he didn’t enjoy the part he played, he did admit that he’s super lucky
and blessed to have been given that movie.
Well, at least he can admit that much, right?
4.
In at number 4 is Sarah Michelle Gellar, known for her role on the TV series Buffy the Vampire
Slayer.
The show came to an end in 2013, which had Michelle working full time on the show for
a total of 16 years.
And by the end of it, she was ready to move on.
During an appearance on the Andy Cohen show, her co-star Alyson Hannigan threw her under
the bus and admitted that she was annoyed with the show by season 3.
She explained that Michelle had a big career going for her and the show was a lot of work.
Michelle later admitted that it was true saying that as the show went on, she wasn’t totally
pleased with it and wanted to move onto something else.
She told Entertainment Weekly: I was 18 when I started the show, I’m 26 now.
This has been the longest span of my life in one place.
There have been times where that’s been difficult – you want to pick up and go and
try other things.
I mean, I can understand that.
She also stated that she hated the last season of the show saying that it went against who
her character was the last 5 seasons.
Needless to say, she was happy when it was all over.
3.
Coming in at number 3 is Angus T. Jones, one of the most successful child stars on television
during his time on Two And A Half Men.
The young actor starred as the adorable kid Jake Harper for the first 10 seasons of the
show; the audience literally watched the actor grow up on the show.
Come season 9, his maturing character got involved in more suggestive and adult storylines
involving sex and drugs.
Jones had a lot to say about his character and the show and he had no problem hiding
it.
In 2012, during an interview he said it was very awkward to perform those scenes and he
called the show FILTH.
He went on to admit that he wanted to leave the show a lot earlier than he was able to
and called himself a “paid hypocrite” for continuing to make money off the show.
When an interviewer asked him about how he feels about his character Jake, now that the
show is over, he replied with: He means nothing.
He is a non-existent character”.
His character was eventually written out of the sitcom before making one final appearance
in the show’s series finale.
2.
Alright guys, at number 2 we have Harrison Ford, the legendary actor who was first known
for his role as Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise.
The actor hasn’t had any problems announcing to the world that he didn’t enjoy playing
the role and that he wanted his character to die at the end of Return of the Jedi.
Which is why it was such a shock to fans when he ended up in 2015’s movie The Force Awakens.
Although fans were excited to see him back, Ford wasn’t so positive about it.
During an interview when asked about his return he said, I quote: I was there to die.
And I didn’t really give a rat’s ass who got my sword.
Over the years, you will see a pattern in the way he talks about his character.
One moment he talks fondly about his experience, or he’ll completely trash the franchise
if it’s even brought up.
He even poked fun at his character by referring to him as Ham Yoyo, rather than Han Solo,
during an interview.
1.
Taking our number 1 spot is Miley Cyrus.
She’s known all around the world for her albums but her career first started with the
Disney hit show Hannah Montana.
She took on the role which had her playing two characters really, one being Miley Stewart
and one being Hannah Montana.
It was one role, but 2 personas, because Miley Stewart was the popstar Hannah Montana, but
no one knew.
Miley was hired, alongside her dad Billy Ray Cyrus, at the young age of 11 years old.
The show started in 2006, turned into motion picture in 2009, and then came to an end in
2011.
And if you’re a Miley fan like me, this was absolutely heart breaking.
Since the show ended she’s opened up to the public about her struggles while playing
the role.
She explained that it completely altered her childhood because she had so much pressure
on her.
She went as far as saying the show gave her body dysmorphia because she felt the pressure
that she had to look a certain way.
During an interview in 2015 she said, I quote: From the time I was 11, it was you’re a
popstar!
That means you have to be blonde, and you have to have long hair, and you have to put
on some glittery tight thing.
Meanwhile, I’m this fragile little girl playing a 16 year old in a wig and a ton of
makeup.
It was like toddlers and tiara’s.
She also went as far as saying that every morning she had coffee jammed down her throat
to wake her up for the long days of shooting.
Cyrus isn’t one to be ungrateful and says that she has a lot of great memories from
that time, but playing the part was too much for the young girl.
Not to mention as she grew out of the Disney Phase, she was ridiculed and criticized harder
than anyone because they were so hung up on her being Hannah Montana.
Well there you have it guys, there is todays list.
Let me know what you think down in the comments below and give the video a thumbs up if you
liked it.
For now, let me shoutout some comments from my last video.
Carmelo Sgro says: you should do an impersonation of Hulk Hogan, hand to ear - - I don’t think
I’d be any good at that so I’m going to pass.
Trust me you don’t wanna see that.
Mydogskips2 says: I think you’re a lot hotter than Megan Fox, whether you’re in Hollywood
or not.
But I guess hotness is in the eye of the beholder, you’re a habanero, she’s a jalapeno, well,
you know what I mean - - I think I know what you mean?
Thank you?
Although I still think Megan Fox is a total babe.
Hard chaps says: For me, Infinity War is better than Endgame.
It’s too sad we won’t see them again.
- - you know, I’ve actually heard a few people say that they liked Infinity War more.
Eastern seeker says: In my language, “Bedard” means painless.
- - that is really cool.
I’d love to know which language that is!
