Stars who despised each other on set

Stars who despised each other on set

When egotistical actors are cooped up together for months on end on a movie set there’s always going to be friction. On the whole though, lavish trailers and massive paychecks help smooth over any niggles. Yet sometimes the angst gets too much for these pampered princes and princesses. They may be actors, but even the most experienced stars can’t hide their genuine dislike of fellow performers. 

 
Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett

The legendary Harrison Ford didn’t take too kindly to whippersnapper Josh Hartnett on the set of ‘Hollywood Homicide’. Ford reportedly referred to Harnett as a "punk", with the young actor retaliating by calling the veteran “an old fart”. As a result the pair barely made eye contact during filming and continuously picked on each other at press junkets. The film flopped.

Megan Fox and Michael Bay

Megan Fox shot herself in the foot when she slammed ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ director Michael Bay for focusing on special effects and not acting (probably for the best as it starred Shia LaBeouf and, well, Megan Fox). Bay responded with; “That’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that”. He then didn’t cast her in the next ‘Transformers’ film. Whoops.

Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey 

The two came to despise each other after a massive row on the set of ‘Red Dawn’. When Grey was informed that Swayze would play her on-screen romance in the iconic ‘Dirty Dancing’, she was so upset that she almost pulled out. Eventually though they had a deep heart-to-heart and made friends. Years later Grey broke down into tears on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ as she remembered her time with the late actor.

Bill Murray and Lucy Liu

Comedy actor Bill Murray couldn’t even raise a smile whilst filming ‘Charlie’s Angels’, as he took a serious dislike to Lucy Liu. It was rumored that Murray thought Liu had an out-of-control ego and he refused to make any appearances in support of the movie when it came out in 2000. He also turned down reprising the role in the sequel, ‘Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle’. In retrospect a good call.

Bette Davis and Joan Crawford

The granddaddy of Hollywood feuds - Bette Davis and Joan Crawford absolutely loathed one another. While filming ‘What Happened to Baby Jane?’, Davis actually kicked Crawford in the scene when she pushed her down the stairs. In return, when Bette had to drag Joan off her bed, Joan put on a weighted diver's belt underneath her costume, making her heavier to drag.  Naturally, the duo also pitched in with some a-grade bitching. Discussing Davis' hair, Crawfod said: “I don't understand these Poodle cuts on elderly women”. Davis retorted by saying Crawford was “single handedly responsible for the syphilis outbreak in America.” Meow.

Sir Anthony Hopkins and Shirley MacLaine

Anthony Hopkins thought the boisterous Shirley MacLaine was overbearing and was constantly annoyed with her while filming ‘A Change of Seasons’ in 1980.  When asked what she was like, he fumed “she was the most obnoxious actress I have ever worked with." Don’t sugarcoat it Ant!

Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe

Even though Curtis was rumoured to have had an affair with Marilyn Monroe during the making of ‘Some Like It Hot’ in 1959, he still managed to say that "kissing her was like kissing Hitler". She drove him crazy by continually arriving late for filming and always fluffing her lines. To make matter worse, director Billy Wilder would always use Monroe’s best takes while leaving Tony's choice deliveries on the cutting room floor.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes

Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes weren't didn’t exactly see eye to eye by the time ‘Romeo & Juliet’ finished filming. Danes grew tired of DiCaprio's onset pranks, branding him "immature", whilst he found her uptight and prudish. Not exactly star-crossed lovers.

Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren

Sophia Loren was cool and seductive while Marlon Brando was edgy and angry. Inevitably, when the two came together during the shooting of ‘A Countess from Hong Kong’ in 1966, the fur began to fly. A feud broke out after he asked her, right in the middle of shooting a love scene: "did you know you have hairs up your nostrils?" Smooth.

Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore

This feud during filming of ‘Red Planet’ began when Kilmer got annoyed over a fancy exercise machine Sizemore demanded the production ship from England to the set in Australia. Eventually the two hated each other so much Kilmer would reportedly not come out of his trailer if Tom was on the set. Many of their scenes together were even filmed over shoulders of photo doubles, if we are to believe some reports. Also, Kilmer reportedly refused to say Sizemore's character's name, substituting it for things like "Hey, you!".

Lifting and job

Today I lifted and felt kinda weak.  It felt like I struggled to do my normal lifting routine and felt completely exhausted.  I thought I had an interview with a company but it turned out to be a webinar and I’m supposed to e-mail them for an interview.  The webinar made it sound like a suspicious company so I haven’t decided if I want to e-mail them back.  I am currently looking for a local job or possibly finding a job in Colorado and moving.  What do you think I should do?

Women With Iconic Good Looks

 Many women are beautiful, but not all have achieved icon status. Some women just have "it" -- the attitude, the allure and the enchanting looks that make them unforgettable and endlessly fascinating.

The Happiest Man of America

Researches have found the happiest man of United States. He is 65 year old Alvin Wong. Alvin is a married Chinese-American, Kosher observing Jew who lives in Hawaii.

Alvin was contacted after three years of a Gallup Well Being index survey asking Americans about their emotional status, job satisfaction, health, stress, diet, food intake and many other indicators of well being.

Alvin Wong's profile and characteristics were almost perfect enough to consider him as the happiest man of America. First things first, he lives in Honolulu, Hawaii, the happiest state of America. Apart from that, his over all personality and traits such as his height (5 ft 10 inches), his age (65 years) and his over all wealth ($120,000 a year) are quite significant in making him stay happy. Alvin is a healthy and happy man with no stress levels as he earns quite well by running his own health company business.

Alvin says if you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to be pretty terrible for you.

Anyhow, this has a lot to do with the over all conditions. Where people reside plays a key role. The richer more beautiful states had happier people while states such as Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia and Kentucky had people that were quite sad, emotionally stressed out with terrible health.

An interesting insight though is that happiness begins at the age of 50 for both men and women as per the study done by Stony Brook University, New York. This study states that stress levels, anger and anxiety fade as you turn 50 years old.

Somethings Are The Way They Are...

Somethings are the way they are and words just can't explain. No matter how hard you try to make everyone understand, no matter how you make the picture clear...but when the person sitting in front of you doesn't want to see the real picture, not much can be done. It's better to let things be the way they are. There is no point banging your head against a wall.

What's interesting is how everyone is wearing the goggles and following each other blindly going to some Practical Valley of success through the roads of lies, games, hypocrisy and fake talk. And those who defy the norms are the mad ones. The blind followers ensure the madness doesn't spread any further. The fear of this lonesome madness is far greater than the fear of the blindness leading them to a shit hole. Or they feel at least they are together.

I just realized when I decided to leave my job how a lot of people indirectly told me what a loser I am. They told me how unhappy I will be. That I have left the best option and growth. I don't know how people can pass their judgement and predict the future without knowing why a decision was made in the first place. But because these people don't mean anything to me I didn't spend a lot of time explaining to them about my reasons.

It wasn't that easy for me either to take the step...I linger on to stuff for long. But then when I felt I wasn't happy I just took the step. Everyone can't take such steps but I was at a point when I felt peace of mind is more important than growth and success. If you don't bring the change then you're stuck and when you're stuck you're not growing from any angle. And what is life without any change. We have to take the risk. You can't play it safe all the time. And then when you are not wearing the goggles and following everyone blindly - perhaps you are the one to take such a step anyway which everyone disapproves of. Nevertheless, since it's your life you gotta make it or break it your way.

And then another thing is that I just feel when you are better than the rest you gotta be told this. But when you see the worshippers of fake shit are getting it all by doing nothing but by virtually blabbing stuff, it makes no sense to me. There should be a difference between work and shit! There should be a difference between being focused and playing games! The right things need to be told to the right people at the right time.

But since certain things are not in your control you gotta let them be. And since we are and should be in absolute control of our life...it's better to do what you think is right with your life and forget what everyone else thinks.
