What’s going on Youtube, I’m your host Joce and welcome back to top 10 beyond the
screen. Make sure you guys are following us on our new social media pages, they are linked
down below. Also, hangout with me until the end of this video where I’ll shoutout some
comments. Today I’m doing a part 2 to a video you guys really liked. It seems like
you guys are really into knowing more behind the scenes when it comes to actors and Hollywood.
Nothing wrong with a little innocent Hollywood gossip right? Well, the list continues today;
let’s get to the good stuff and jump into today’s list of Top 10 Actors Who Hated
Their Iconic Role - Part 2.
10. Starting off our list at number 10 is Daniel Craig, who took on the iconic role
of James Bond, and hated every minute of it. Although fans were thrilled to see him in
the film series, he openly admits that he regretted taking on the role after the first
2. He tells interviewers that he was obligated to do Skyfall and Quantum of Solace because
he already signed a contract. The actor went as far as saying that he hopes the movie Skyfall
tanks at the box office so he could get out of it. During an interview with the Rolling
Stone back in 2012, he said: I’ve been trying to get out of this from the very moment I
got into it, but they won’t let me go, and I’ve agreed to do a couple more, but let’s
see how this one does, because business is business and if the shit goes down, I’ve
got a contract that somebody will happily wipe their ass with. Well, turns out that
the Skyfall ended up making over a billion dollars, so he was also in Spectre three years
later. I guess his wish didn’t come true. They were hoping he would come back for more
even after his contract ended but in 2015, when Time Out asked him about doing another
one, his response was: I’d rather break this glass and slit my wrists… I’m over
it at the moment. All I want to do is move on. Well, that’s a bit dramatic and completely
inappropriate but okay. Moving on.
9. At number 9 we have Kate Winslet, who wasn’t the biggest fan of her role in Titanic, like
many of US were. The actress has had a ton of amazing roles but her role as Rose in Titanic
is probably still her most well-known; the movie is iconic. The actress realizes how
lucky she was to land such a huge role at the young age of 21, but she’s also gone
on the record saying how embarrassed she was by her performance. During an interview with
Hollywood she said: every single scene I’m like really? You did it like that? Oh my god.
Even my American accent. I can’t listen to it; it’s awful. Well we often criticize
ourselves harder than anyone else, but the actress stands firmly on the fact that she
hates her Rose character and can’t watch it. Not just her performance, but the actress
says that no one had a good time filming the movie. A variety of injuries took place on
set, and even the crew was miserable throughout the process. She even goes as far as saying
that she hates the movie’s soundtrack because it was so overdone. During an interview with
MTV in 2012 she said: I feel like throwing up when I hear it. I wish I could say oh listen
everybody! It’s the Celine Dion song. But I don’t. I just have to sit there, you know,
kind of straight-faced with a massive internal eye roll”. Okay so noted. If you ever meet
Kate Winslet, don’t bring up Titanic or Celine Dion.
8. Swiping the number 8 spot on our list is Penn Badgley, also known as Dan Humphrey from
the admired TV series, Gossip Girl. Fans spent years adoring his character; however the actor
didn’t adore the role like we did. The actor has no problem dissing the series since it
ended. In 2015, People interviewed him and asked him about the series coming to an end.
Penn responded by saying: It doesn’t make sense at all. It wouldn’t have made sense
for anybody. Gossip Girl doesn’t make sense”. He even went as far as tweeting out a response
to the cover art on the complete series dvd set. It’s a picture of the cast sitting
on top of the NYC skyline. He tweeted a picture of it and said: lol sh** we are reclining
on New York City. I’m posted up like a futon. Talk about an image of white privilege. Penn
often gets asked about his character on the show, even though it ended back in 2012. People
usually ask him if he liked his character Dan, to which he replies with the same thing
each time. His response is: He's not real. He's a tool on a show with soap-operatic arcs
and he needs to be a judgmental douche bag sometimes. I get that. But it sucks when people
call me "Dan" and think that I'm him. Needless to say, the actor is thrilled he’s been
able to move on from the role, and hopes fans will too.
7. Taking our number 7 spot is Jessica Alba who openly slams her role in Fantastic 4:
Rise of the Silver Surfer. She took on the role of Sue Storm, which was a new perspective
fans were excited to see, since we were so used to seeing her as the hot girl-next-door.
However, critics ripped apart the movie and her performance. They called the movie: terribly
miscast, and said that the movie should almost be ashamed to show itself. Alba went on record
to blame the terrible scripting and said she was mistreated while shooting the movie. The
actress opened up during an interview and stated that the director, Tim Story, made
her feel worthless. She said during a scene where she was supposed to be emotional, Tim
was like: Don’t do that thing with your face. Just make it flat. We can CGI the tears
in. She went on to explain that she felt like she wasn’t good enough and that this role
was the one that made her say, and I quote: F*** it, I don’t care about this business
anymore.
6. In at number 6 is Jason Bateman, known for many of his roles, but fans raved about
him in the comedy Horrible Bosses. The actor said he had a lot of fun with his co-stars
filming the first movie, but didn’t agree that there should be a sequel. The first movie
was a huge success, earning 209 million dollars after its release in 2011, which made Warner
Bros want a sequel. However, Jason Bateman, who starred in both films, saw it differently.
During an interview in 2014 he said: the second one was garbage as far as box office goes.
A lot of people saw the first one, but there are plenty of films that made a lot of money
where no one is interested in seeing another one. Fans were confused by his statements
seeing as he reprised his role for the second one on his own free will. On Marc Maron’s
WTF podcast he admitted he took the role for the paycheck. He said: That’s a paycheck
for everyone. Everyone’s getting paid. It’s a freebie. The actor said he prefers the majority
of his other roles over the one he played in this comedic series.
5. Half way through our list at number 5 is Jennifer Garner, who hated her role in Elektra.
The actress took on the role of the assassin, Elektra, back in 2005. People assumed she’d
do an amazing job seeing as she played a total boss babe for years, but the movie wasn’t
her best work. She’s the first one to point out that she wasn’t a fan of the character.
Well, it’s actually her ex-boyfriend Michael Vartan who pointed it out to us. After the
movie was released he told Us Weekly: I heard Elektra was awful. Jennifer called me and
told me it was awful. She had to do it because of Daredevil, it was in her contract. She
later opened up about her feelings towards her role, and critics also weren’t shy when
they tore her performance apart. She responded in interviews by saying she didn’t slam
the project but is happy she has moved on from the role. So basically, she hated it
but doesn’t want to say it to the press.
4. At number 4 we have Allison Williams who wasn’t thrilled about her role on the hit
TV series, Girls. The actress took on the role as Marnie, which gave her the opportunity
to perform a more complex character. However, she wasn’t a huge fan of her character as
she told Buzzfeed: Marnie would drive me crazy if we were friends in real life. But I had
to put that out of my head in order to play her. The actress explained that her character
made a variety of bad decisions that she didn’t agree with, but there’s no denying it’s
the role that made her a name in this industry. When the series wrapped, she said she was
thrilled to move onto other work, and other characters. Now that she’s achieved some
success, maybe she can afford to be a bit pickier about the roles she takes on. But
like come on, isn’t that why it’s called acting? Of course you wouldn’t do what your
character would; it’s a character! That’s just my 2 cents.
3. Alright guys, at number 3 is Adam Brody; the actor who took on the role of Seth Cohen
in the TV series The O.C. Fans were head over heels for his lovable, goofy, and comic book
obsessed character. However, the actor wasn’t such a big fan and is sick of people asking
him about it. Critics said he played the role to perfection, which is probably why he is
always interviewed about that role. During an interview with the Huffington Post, when
he was asked whether he missed Seth Cohen he said: no, I don’t. There are fun things
about it, but that character? No. That was a character from 2004 and it’s very much
of that time, and no, my interests don’t lie there at all anymore.. it gets boring.
The show ran for a total of 4 seasons so I can understand why you might get bored playing
the same character, but come on, no need to be salty about it.
2. In at number 2 is Rooney Mara; the actress who took on the role as Tiger Lily in the
movie Pan. There was a huge controversy when it was announced that she was cast for the
role which was debated to be whitewashing. Thousands of people protested the fact that
the white actress shouldn’t have been cast as the part. And shockingly, the actress agrees
with them. During an interview with the Telegraph, Mara said she hated being the center of the
controversy. She took a lot of heat when she was originally cast, but then took even more
once the film came out. She explained that the role wasn’t enjoyable because the whole
situation made it tricky to deal with. Ultimately though, she wishes she hadn’t have done
it. She said: I really hate hate hate that I am on that side of the whitewashing conversation.
I don’t ever want to be on that side of it again. I can understand why people were
upset and frustrated. She said she enjoyed her time working with the people involved
in the movie, but wishes they made more of an attempt to have a diverse cast. She said:
Do I think all of the 4 main people in the film should have been white with blonde hair
and blue eyes? No. I think there should have been some diversity somewhere. I mean, we
gotta give her some respect for admitting something like that.
1. Taking our number 1 spot on today’s list is Taylor Momsen. People are usually shocked
when they find out that Cindy Lou-Hoo from the Grinch is actually Taylor Momsen, who
is also Jenny from Gossip Girl, and who is also the punk rock n roll singer from the
band The Pretty Reckless. The once cute innocent blonde actress turned her style into punk-gothic
style, which is why she decided to end her time on the TV series Gossip Girl. During
the 5 seasons she was on the show, she played Jenny Humphrey, a young and innocent teenager
trying to make it as a fashion designer. Momsen has no time poking fun at her character and
how much she enjoyed leaving that role. Her style in the show began to change throughout
the seasons, because her style in real life was. She decided to leave the show, where
her character was written out, and she turned to the music industry. She’s had huge success
with her band The Pretty Reckless and gets pretty annoyed when people ask her about her
time on Gossip Girl. During an interview in 2014, she told RFT Music: I’m not looking
to go back to it. Gossip Girl was a great experience, it helped me in one way but it
also hurt me in another. When we go to shows, the fans don’t give a f*** about the TV
show. They are there for my music. If you look back at the TV show now, she’s almost
unrecognizable with who she is today. Most people don’t even know that it’s the same
person.
Okay guys, there’s our list for today. Give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it. Also,
make sure you leave a comment below if you want to be featured in an upcoming video.
For now, let’s check out some comments from my Part 1.
Jamell Jones says: bunch of ungratefulness brats. - - I get where you’re coming from.
There’s people who would LOVE to even have a chance at their role….. ME.
Devin Wiggles says: for some reason I keep staring straight at her demin jacket and yellow
sweater. I’m just saying it goes well with black. #shepullsitoffwell #blackhairedbeauty
- - well thanks! Fun fact though, my hair is actually brown. I think it the lighting
might make it took a little darker than it really is.
John Stevenson says: It’s hard for me to get. Put these people to work in a factory
for a few years at minimum wage, then see how they feel about those terrible acting
jobs they hated so much - - PREACH! I feel ya man.
LW says: some of those actresses/actors have to realize there has to be an evil antagonist
to have a greay protagonist. They cannot always be the good person that they may be in real
life. - - Honestly, I think I’d rather play the evil antagonist. Why would I want to be
myself? It’s acting. Give me something that’s outside of my own characteristics.
