welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
actors and directors who hated each
other what is the chocolate bar is like
chocolate you know what chef is I was
like no he’s like chocolate dude chuffa
is like just bullshit and a script shit
that just kills times like when you walk
into a room and you’re like oh it’s a
real cute dog
hey with that picture coming all right
where’s the bomb mother you know for
this list will be ranking the most
infamous instances of combative actor
director relationships on movie sets
situations that made working together
difficult for both parties I said they
mean very well and they have their job
to do and I have my job to do for the
record we’re not casting judgment
towards either party in these spats nor
are we implying that these artists
continue to hold a grudge after their
feud but these were certainly times
we’re arriving on the same creative page
proved to be a long and challenging
journey over what if I said stop
[Music]
you and it said number 10 Gene Hackman
and Wes Anderson the Royal Tenenbaums
everyone’s against me get your fold man
yeah I know but dammit I want this
family to love me
legendary actor Gene Hackman and indie
icon Wes Anderson went head-to-head on
the set of this 2001 film with Hackman
only years away from an unofficial
retirement while Anderson’s creative
star was rising considerably among young
filmmakers in Hollywood are you getting
divorced
at the moment no but it doesn’t look
good at the 2011 New York Film Festival
co-stars of The Royal Tenenbaums
recalled that Hackman apparently told
the director to quote pull up his pants
and act like a man at one point while
being visibly grumpy and verbally
combative towards others well sweetie
don’t be mad at me that’s just one man’s
opinion Anderson and the crew went onto
a plot happened for his performance in
the film however giving the actor credit
as one of the pictures main focal points
that’s the last time you put a knife in
me hit me number nine Tippi Hedren and
Alfred Hitchcock the birds do that
that’s a damaged thing I have a sword I
know it seemed to swoop down at you
deliberately the combination of Alfred
Hitchcock’s formative directing style
and the screen presence of a
then-unknown Tippi Hedren served as a
recipe for success in the classic 1963
film the birds know there was a redwood
oh I thought there was strawberry fishes
yes we called him that too behind the
scenes however Hedren had reportedly
been the subject of unwanted romantic
advances from Hitchcock while also being
subjected to the grueling physical
strain of shooting an attack sequence
with real birds in a 2012 interview for
the New York Times Hedren recalled that
Hitchcock wouldn’t let the actress out
of her contract with him thus impeding
her career although she went on to say
that she felt fortunate to have worked
with the man in hindsight my most
ambitious movie ever and we want you to
star in it number 8 Katherine Heigl and
Judd Apatow knocked up here goes
I’m pregnant off what what the
controversy behind this 2007 comedy by
director Judd Apatow stemmed from a 2008
Vanity Fair interview where actress
Katherine Heigl referred to knocked up
as quote a little sexist while
simultaneously lamenting how her
character was portrayed compared to her
male co-stars yes thanks Apatow and
actor Seth Rogen shot back during a 2009
appearance on the Howard Stern Show with
Apatow stating that he still hadn’t at
the time received an apology from Heigl
while Rogen also let loose with his own
negative appraisal of the actress oh
that’s helpful you have to do nothing
I said anything I’ve ever sacrifice my
job my body my youth my vagina during a
2016 appearance on the Howard Stern Show
the radio host discussed the incident
with Heigl pushing the actress to act on
her desire to write an apology sweet I’m
telling you if you’d been there you
would have probably cried you need to
train him huh number seven Bruce Willis
and Kevin Smith cop out Jimmy Carr Gomm
oh come I’ve never seen that movie Bruce
Willis was no stranger to acting when it
came time to perform under Kevin Smith’s
direction for the 2010 buddy cop comedy
cop-out effect that according to Smith
was readily apparent when collaborating
with Willis behind the scenes just went
south
right away the whole thing went south
Jack Smith who had come up in the 90s
with his indie hit film clerks remarked
on stage and in interviews about how
Willis was resistant to being directed
by the younger and comparatively less
experienced filmmaker now you’re doing
training day you suck his actor your
failure well as the spokesperson went on
to deny any friction between the two
while Smith himself admitted that he
felt starstruck by the actor resulting
in his lack of authority onset he rips
four pages out of the out of the sides
and then hands it back to me he goes
this is
we’re shooting today number six Bill
Murray and Harold Ramis Groundhog Day
this is the best day of my life mine
mine to the creative relationship
between actor Bill Murray and actor
director Harold Ramis
stretches all the way back to their
comedy days in the 1970s while also
including such classic 80s films as
Caddyshack Ghostbusters and stripes
it was the 1993 comedy classic Groundhog
Day which would serve as a point of
separation for the duo however as
creative differences regarding the
script as well as Murray’s erratic
behavior and tardiness led to a 21 year
period during which the two former
friends stopped speaking to one another
what the hell it wasn’t until Murray
visited Ramos prior to his death in 2014
that the two finally made their peace I
have missed you so much
number five George Clooney and David
O’Russell three kings Bush told the
people to rise up against Saddam I
thought they’d have our support they
don’t now to the slaughter actor George
Clooney apparently didn’t take too
kindly to the reported abuse David
O’Russell was doling out to his crew on
the set of three kings and took the
director to task on his behavior what’s
the most important thing respect to
dependent on other people well love
little Disneyland isn’t it
the result was a physical skirmish
between the two men with Clooney stating
at the time that he wouldn’t work with
Russell again although time did ease the
tension between them are you ready to
work with me now yeah I’m ready to work
this wouldn’t be the last incident
between Russell and an actor however as
footage surfaced of the director and
actress Lily Tomlin engaged in a vicious
war of words on the set of the 2004 film
I Heart Huckabees number 4 Klaus Kinski
and Verner Hertzog Aguirre the wrath of
God
damn – and cook Scorsese that’s kind of
the shit Klaus Kinski has long been
known as difficult to work with on set
yet no directors experience with the
complicated thespian quite rivals that
of Verner Hertzog he’s been ossified
itself can enjoy Sandeep the automatic
and Stefan love and so thank you rotten
hoon that card annoying cystitis took it
the directors creative relationship with
Kinski may have been fruitful but it was
also violent and traumatic with 1972’s
Aguirre the wrath of God
almost resulting in the deaths of both
men viola I ain’t call my stupidest on
island opposite Sofia tanked
Avada fear anger spectral who doesn’t
film fifty-yard Hertzog relates that he
even pulled a gun on Kinski at one point
threatening to kill them both should the
actor make good on his threat to leave
the picture the director would even
release a full-length documentary about
his battles with Kinski in 1999 titled
my Best Fiend which expanded on the
pair’s complex explosive relationship HP
nets on goddess Tierra Verde HK is each
mission baked number three Edward Norton
and Tony K American History X I’m not
killed two guys Danny I killed him I
didn’t make me feel any different Tony K
had earned a name for himself shooting
television commercials in his native
Britain before his 1998 feature film
debut American History X behind the
scenes stories of that film however
reveal a production that was mired by
creative differences in editing
scripting and even the casting of Edward
Norton as the lead right my family my
family so you know what I don’t give two
shits about you or anybody else or what
you think you’re not a part of it and
you never will be K himself was banned
from the editing room after not
delivering cuts to the satisfaction of
New Line Cinema and the director even
attempted to use the pseudonym Alan
Smithee to avoid receiving credit for
the final picture see this that means
not welcome this attempt was blocked
however on the grounds that K continued
to malign his experience with Norton and
American History X in the press so
laughs there’s nothing funny going on
here this is about your life and mine
number two Megan Fox and Michael Bay
transformers
[Music]
the 2007 collaboration between actress
Megan Fox and director Michael Bay on
the first Transformers film was a
worldwide financial success but their
relationships soured in 2009 after Fox
was interviewed by Britain’s Wonderland
magazine it looks like you’re at your
distributor caps a little boost yeah
how’d you know that my dad he was a huge
real grease monkey Fox compared BAE’s
directing style to infamous dictators
Napoleon and Adolf Hitler while Bay
himself commented in GQ magazine that
the actress appeared disinterested and
unwilling to work on the set of the
film’s 2009 sequel Transformers Revenge
of the Fallen took all this from me
Scheffer it wasn’t until 2014 on the set
of BAE’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
where the two finally ended their feud
so they’re aliens
no that’s stupid they’re reptiles before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions my heart just
isn’t in this like I should be wasting
my time on something that isn’t that
important really I just think that an
A&R man telling an art is how they
should dress or come across is total
bullshit people don’t want that they
want authenticity okay babe authenticity
give me you name a one artist that you
think passes your authenticity test
I’ve had people walk out of me before

videotape and not film it is amateurs
and not professionals I’m filming
I will never make Madhu tape I’ll tell
you something else I will never ever
load out any information with a great
contract number one Shelley Duvall and
Stanley Kubrick The Shining I just wanna
go back to my room Stanley Kubrick has
earned a reputation among fans for his
well-documented attention to detail and
perfectionism but another aspect of the
directors career that’s earned its own
infamous reputation is his onset
relationship with actress Shelley Duvall
on the 1980 horror classic The Shining
Duvall recounts her experience on the
shining in the 2000 book The Compleat
Kubrick as being quote the most
difficult role she’s ever had to play
thanks in part to Kubrick seemingly
endless requests for more takes as well
as his orders to the crew not to
sympathize with her
I don’t sympathize with Shelley it
doesn’t help you with me yes it does
Duvall further contextualized her
experience on The Shining 2 Roger Ebert
as quote almost unbearable but from
other points of view really very nice I
suppose
I can’t get out
