Have you watched a movie and thought, "Hmmm, I wonder if those actors getting at it right
now really like each other, or do they just want to pull each other’s hair out?”
Well, no matter how talented or famous some may be, actors are still human,
which means that not all of them are going to get along. And unfortunately for us regardless of how
intense the chemistry might seem on screen, in real life, some are just a COMPLETE SHAM.
Disclaimer alert: some of these stories might just completely and
utterly break your heart. Especially when you find out that some co-stars simply hated each other on
set completely refusing to even acknowledge each other after filming. Do you think you
would believe us if we said one of your favorite on-screen BFFs hate each other in real life?
So much so that one even took to Instagram saying “I don’t need your love or support.”
This is a heart-breaking one, so get ready as we reveal the most shocking
stories of actors who practically turned into enemies after working
together. And as always don’t forget to subscribe to the Rumor Juice Channel.
Shia LaBeouf vs. Alec Baldwin Seems like Shia LaBeouf just
can’t seem to stay out of hot waters for too long. And his little feud with Alec Baldwin
certainly was one that took the cake. Back in 2013, LaBeouf was in rehearsals
with Baldwin for three weeks for the Broadway play Orphans. Well,
that was until things got so heated that producers had no other choice, but to replace LaBeouf!
Shia apparently first butted heads with Baldwin after only one week of rehearsals. Shia felt
like he and Alec didn’t connect as men. This came after Shia became so invested in his character and
really put in the time and effort for the role. But didn’t feel as though Baldwin did the same.
LaBeouf was told by the creative team of the importance of memorizing his lines.
So Shia would go to rehearsal prepared to prove he had put in the time,
but unfortunately for him, Baldwin was not so put together. Shia would
then go on and sulk because he felt as though Alec was slowing everyone down.
He even went so far as to verbally attack Alec, really causing Baldwin to find error in Shia.
The 30 Rock actor decided to call a meeting with the stage manager and director and offered
to quit the project, for everyone else’s sake. Directors were quick to yell no,
as they wanted Alec way more and so they didn’t think twice about firing Shia from the show.
When talking about Shia’s reaction Baldwin said,
"I think he was shocked. He had that card, that card you get when you
make films that make a lot of money that gives you a certain kind of entitlement.
I think he was surprised that it didn’t work in the theatre.”
It didn’t stop there. Naturally, LaBeouf was devastated when he was asked to leave the show
and needed to find some sort of closure. Turns out the only way he thought this was possible was to
follow Baldwin home every day for a month. Claire Danes vs. Leonardo DiCaprio
Whilst the rest of the world completely fell head-over-heels in love with Leonardo
DiCaprio when he first caught their eye, his “Romeo and Juliet” co-star Claire Danes
was a little less enthusiastic about him. The two played star-crossed lovers on screen,
but it would seem as though all the pranks that Leo would play on set,
made Claire want to take a bottle of poison herself every time he was around.
Even though they were just 4 years apart, Danes thought DiCaprio was far too immature during
working hours. Meanwhile, the Titanic actor allegedly found Danes to be “too uptight.”
Leading the actors to barely want to speak together onset, much less kiss on screen.
But in an interesting turn of events, Claire actually had a crush on her co-star,
one that she would later describe as (quote) “Problematic”. Although she hasn’t speculated more
on the subject it all kind of makes sense now. Danes was only 17 at the time, so she probably
still had the mindset of the only way to flirt with a boy is to be mean to him.
Sarah Jessica Parker vs. Kim Cattrall Samantha Jones and Carrie Bradshaw were
closer than close on “Sex & The City”, but behind the scenes, Kim Cattrall and Sarah
Jessica Parker were far from besties. Where things get a little interesting
is that during the filming of the show, both actresses denied any allegations of their feuds,
however, once the show ended both women told very VERY different stories.
According to Cattrall, Parker had never liked her and she had no clue as to why.
Kim found Jessica’s behavior to be (quote) “Toxic”. She resented allegations that she was
the one who held up production after Jessica would say it was due to her (quote) “diva” behavior.
When talking about Jessica, Kim even went so far as to say that there was an element of
bullying on set. After the incredibly popular show ended, fans couldn’t wait for the movie,
but production just kept getting held up, because the two refused to work together ever again.
The tensions between the two reached a new level of drama after Cattrall publicly slammed her
co-star on Instagram. Parker offered condolences for the loss of Cattrall’s brother, but Kim didn’t
see it as a kind gesture, convinced that it was all just a publicity act. She posted on Instagram
that she didn’t need Jessica’s support because the two are not friends and never have been.
“I don’t need your love or support at this tragic time”
Talk about public humiliation! Patrick Swayze vs. Jennifer Grey
Yes, that’s right, these two dirty dancers are sadly on our list. Don’t worry,
you’re not the only one with a broken heart. Dirty Dancing is one of the most loved romantic
films of all time, but unfortunately, it’s leads didn't exactly love each other behind the scenes.
Patrick Swayze spoke about his time while filming the iconic movie in his memoir. And if you were
hoping that their on-screen passion bubbled over into real life, you’ll be sadly disappointed.
Turns out Patrick became rather impatient with Jennifer, who he felt goofed off and wasted time
on set. It didn’t help that there was little to no chemistry between the two and he just didn’t
get Grey’s overly emotional personality. They couldn’t hide their fractious relationship,
which unfortunately led to a lot of friction on set, making filming rather difficult.
In his memoir Patrick mentions how she seemed particularly unpredictable,sometimes
bursting into tears if someone criticized her. Other times, she would slip into silly moods,
forcing everyone to do scenes over and over again when she'd start laughing.
In fact, in the iconic scene of Patrick running his hand
down her arm where Baby bursts out laughing…that reaction was totally
real. They ended up doing 25 takes and best believe it drove Patrick crazy.
But, the director decided to leave the natural reaction in and boy are we glad he did.
Alex Pettyfer vs Channing Tatum
Though they played mentor and mentee in Magic Mike, the relationship between
Tatum and Pettyfer was anything but warm. And unfortunately for all Pettyfer fans,
HE was mostly to blame in this situation. "Channing Tatum does not like me.
For many reasons. Many being my own fault." Channing Tatum invested a lot of his own money
in the film and wasn’t all too thrilled when Alex was cast given his bad-boy reputation.
Channing thought he was just too much of a risk. Knowing what all his co-stars thought of him,
Pettyfer wasn’t friendly with everyone including Tatum. That’s what he says made
things between him and the actor even worse. After filming Alex would go sit in a corner
and listen to music trying hard to stay out of everyone’s way, especially after his reps would
say anything he does is wrong. Unfortunately, this didn’t pay off as it made the rest of his
co-stars believe that he thinks he’s better than everyone else. Which wasn’t true,
“I was genuinely nervous and scared to be myself,”
According to Pettyfer, things went really south when he was late on paying rent to his landlord,
who also happened to be a close friend of Tatum's. Tatum sent a very
strongly-worded email to the younger actor: "Don't f*k my friends. You owe money. Pay
the f*king money. Don't be a clown." Magic Mike was supposed to be Pettyfer’s
comeback but it didn’t happen. The movie was a big success that led to a sequel. However,
the actor wasn’t asked to reprise his role. Reese Witherspoon vs. Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson was a sparkly vampire in “Twilight”, but sadly that sparkle wasn’t
quite there between him and Reese Witherspoon whilst filming “Water for Elephants”.
Although the pair never erupted in shouting matches or wanted
to pummel each other when the director yells cut,
the whole experience was just plain uncomfortable for them both, but mainly for Reese.
This might come as a shock given how intense their chemistry was onscreen, especially during the more
heated moments. Reese even admitted that she was looking forward to finding out what kissing a
dapper vampire friend might be like, strictly in the interests of, y’know, science, of course.
Sadly, it was not the head-spinning, Earth-stopping thrill she had maybe hoped for.
You see there was just one small tiny problem that ruined their tender moments together: Rob possibly
had the most hideous horrible cold of any co-star that Rees ever had to do a love scene with.
Poor Witherspoon had to endure a series of awkward sex scenes with a bleary-eyed and stuffy-nosed
Pattinson. To be fair, it would be difficult to find passion in that! But unfortunately, it was so
bad that it pretty much turned Reese off for life. Well, that’s all we have for today!
