Hey Youtube!
What is up?!
I’m your host Joce and welcome back to top 10 beyond the screen.
If you’re looking for me outside of this video, my instagram is linked down below,
along with the channel’s social media pages as well.
Also, if you stick around until the end of this video, I’ll do some comment shoutouts.
For today’s video we are talking about how it’s a known fact that no one is perfect.
No matter how hard we all try, we all make mistakes or regret some of our decisions.
However, we can move on and never confront them again but for actors it doesn’t work
like that.
They put their work in front of the world to see and whether it’s good or not, it
stays out there forever.
SO it’s really no surprise that there’s some movies out there that the starring actors
aren’t thrilled about.
Let’s jump into today’s list of Top 10 Actors Who Hated Their Own Movies.
10.
Starting off the list at number 10 is Will Smith, who opened up to the public about how
much he disliked his movie After Earth.
The sci-fi action movie came out back in 2013 and even starred his son Jaden Smith, which
might be why the movie was extra disappointing for the actor.
During an interview with Esquire in 2015; Will opened up about the movie and admitted
that it was, and I quote: the most painful failure of my career.
The reason he was feeling this way was because of the box office results the movie had after
its release.
It didn’t make even close to what his other movies did and he faced some heat from reviews
and critics.
The movie earned an 11% on rotten tomatoes to put it into some perspective for you.
The actor went on to say that the movie was so painful to him because he was the one who
got his son into the film and it was excruciating to watch his son basically fail in his first
big film.
He said he holds a lot of hate towards the movie simply because it reminds him of a difficult
time but also said he’s accepted that it, I quote: wasn’t a good source of creation.
Looking at it now, the two of them have both had very successful careers so; it’s all
good guys.
9.
In at number 9 is James Franco; the actor who has no problem voicing his opinion on
his movie Your Highness.
The fantasy adventure movie came out in 2011 where Franco starred alongside Danny McBride
and Zooey Deschanel.
The box office wasn’t a fan of the comedy; the budget for the film was 50 million dollars
and it only made 28 million back.
Fans weren’t thrilled either; the movie received a rating of 28% on rotten tomatoes.
Not only were fans and critics first to say the movie was a flop, but James was right
there with them.
During an interview the actor openly said: Your highness?
That movie sucks.
You can’t get around that.
Over the years he has been asked which movie of his he dislikes the most and Your Highness
is always at the top of his list.
He says he has no problem admitting the failure of the comedy.
One critic, Roger Ebert, reviewed the movie and stated: the film appeared to be created
by adolescent boys.
its obscenity-laced script, raunchy nature and juvenile attempts at comedy.
Yikes.
Well, good thing James Franco has redeemed himself over the years with some of his other
comedy hits.
8.
Sliding into number 8 is Shia Labeouf.
The actor has been the star of the entire Transformer series through 2007-2011, and
it wasn’t until 2018 did he admit his true feelings about them.
Shia opened up during an in-depth interview with Esquire magazine, where he was asked
about Michael Bay’s Transformers movies.
He starred in the first 3 movies, which he reflects back on now and doesn’t have many
positive things to say about it.
Though some of his statements in the interview are confusing, there was one paragraph published
which says: My hangup with those films was that they felt irrelevant.
They felt dated as fu**; you come up on these other stories and you find value in what they
do.
Meanwhile, you’re chasing energon crystals.
It’s very hard to keep doing what you’re doing when you feel like it’s the antithesis
of your purpose on this planet.
You can read the entire interview which might take you 3 days to read, but the gist of the
interview is that he isn’t a fan of the movies that pretty much made his career.
7.
In our number 7 spot is Mark Wahlberg; the actor has a successful career which a list
of movies his fans adore.
However, he isn’t a fan of one of his movies and he finally let it slip during an interview.
In 2010, Wahlberg attended a press conference for his movie The Fighter, to which he spoke
on a meeting he had with his co-star Amy Adams.
During an interview he opened up about a conversation he had with the actress and said: We had actually
had the luxury of having lunch before to talk about another movie and it was a bad movie
that I did.
She dodged the bullet.
And then I was still able to….
I don’t want to tell you what movie….
Alright, The Happening.
Fu** it.
It is what it is.
Effing trees man.
The plants.
You can’t blame me for not wanting to try to play a science teacher.
The actor has since had no problem admitting that he didn’t like being a part of the
movie.
It didn’t help that once the movie was released it only got an 18% rating on rotten tomatoes.
6.
Taking over the number 6 spot is Charlize Theron who actually wishes she could take
one of her movies: Reindeer Games.
The movie came out back in 2000 and Charlize teamed up with Ben Affleck for the drama crime
movie.
The movie only took home 32 million from the box office, which isn’t much when you have
2 of Hollywood’s biggest actors at the time teaming up together as the leads.
The movie also didn’t get good reviews and was rated a 25% on rotten tomatoes.
During an interview, Charlize said that she wishes she could take back the movie and when
asked why she simply said, I quote: that was a bad, bad, bad movie.
Well, point blank period.
It was a bad movie, that’s all there is to it.
5.
Half way through the list at number 5 is Matt Damon.
The actor was the star of the Bourne series, which went on to win 3 Oscars and gave Damon
the biggest box office earner at the time.
However, the actor wasn’t a fan of the 3rd movie in his action trilogy: the Bourne Ultimatum.
The actor is known for his Oscar winning script that he wrote for Good Will Hunting while
he was still a student at the time, which is why he was so disappointed in the trilogy’s
script.
During an interview with GQ he said: I don’t blame Tony (the writer) for taking a boatload
of money and handing in what he handed in.
It’s just that it was unreadable.
This is a career-ender.
I mean, I could put this thing up on Ebay and it would be game over for that dude.
It’s terrible.
It’s really embarrassing.
He was having a go, basically, and he took his money and left.
The movie was a complete success, but the actor stands firm on his feelings towards
it.
4.
At number 4 is Cher; the legendary actress and singer was not impressed with her movie
Burlesque.
The drama filled musical movie came out in 2010 and had Cher starring alongside Christina
Aguilera.
This movie was my jam; I thought it was great.
But apparently, critics didn’t like it as much as I did.
The movie received just a 36% on rotten tomatoes and Cher thinks it was a valid rating.
The actress went as far as saying the movie was horrible.
During an interview she gave her opinion about the movie by sayin: It could have been a much
better film.
It was always sad that it was not a good film.
She continued to give reasoning why she thinks the movie was a flop.
She put the blame on the director, Steve Antin, and said he was, and I quote: a really terrible
director.
Not only the movie, but she also didn’t like her character.
She calls her character one-dimensional, boring, and complains that she had no love interest.
So what’s the real reason cher?
Are you just upset that you didn’t get to kiss a hottie and Christina did?
I sense some jealousyyyyy.
3.
Alright guys, at number 3 are Ryan Reynolds who wasn’t thrilled about his movie Green
Lantern.
The actor has mixed emotions about the movie because it’s the one where he met his wife,
Blake Lively.
However, he’s not shy to admit that it was a bad movie.
And if you’re a Deadpool fan, you would know that it pokes fun at the Green Lantern
movie on multiple occasions.
During the San Diego Convention, the actor was asked which property he hated being in
more: Green Lantern or X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Ryan laughed and then responded with: As an actor you are blessed to be in that position
to shoot any movie that size, so I appreciate the chance… but both were really, really,
pretty bad.
He went on to explain that the Green Lantern is the subject of a lot of his jokes and that
it’s not much of a surprise that it was only rated a 27% rating on rotten tomatoes.
He did say that there was one thing he liked about his movie, and that was Blake Lively,
his now wife and mother of his children.
Awwww.
2.
In at number 2 we have Zac Efron who was adored by many, including myself, in the High School
Musical movie series.
Let’s not pretend we didn’t all wish we were Gabriella.
Although we were obsessed with the movie, Zac has some different feelings on it.
There are some fans who think the movies are cheesy, annoying, and cringe worthy, but nobody
hates it as much as its lead actor.
He made his breakthrough in his career playing the heartthrob Troy Bolton, but has no problem
admitting that he regrets doing it.
He even went as far to say that he wishes he could go back in time and beat his teenage
self up.
During an interview with Men’s Fitness, when talking about his role as a teenager
he said: I step back and look at myself and I still want to kick that guy’s ass sometimes.
Like, eff that guy.
He’s done some kind of cool things with some cool people, he did that one thing, Neighbours,
that was funny, but I mean he’s still just that effing kid from high school musical.
Fans were disappointed that they didn’t see him take part in the movie’s 10th anniversary.
He was later asked what he thought about the fame he got from the role and he said: I try
not to look at all of it.
You can’t enjoy or celebrate it; it’s not a real thing.
The face on a lunchbox and sh** - you can’t share that with your friends.
So clearly we aren’t all in this together anymore.
1.
Taking the number 1 spot on our list is Daniel Radcliffe, also known as Harry Potter in the
iconic movie series.
Although he adores playing the part, one movie in the series he isn’t in love with; in
fact, he hates it.
The actor openly admits how much he dislikes Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.
When asked about why, he explains he hated his performance in it by saying: I’m just
not very good in it.
I hate it.
My acting is very one-note, and I can see I got complacent, and what I was trying to
do just didn’t come across.
He also admitted something a little more shocking; he had a drinking problem while filming the
movie.
Daniel acknowledges his addiction at the time and says that It began when he turned 18 and
began filming the half-blood prince.
His statement on his drinking was: It was bad.
I don’t want go into details, but I drank a lot and it was daily- I mean nightly.
I can honestly say I never drank at work on Harry Potter.
I went into work still drunk, but I never drank at work.
I can point to many scenes where I’m just gone.
Dead behind the eyes.
Well I’LL BE DAMNED.
Little harry potter was drunk in some of his scenes.
I would probably hate my performance too.
I wouldn’t even be able to memorize my lines.
Alright guys, there’s our list for today.
