22 Of The Easiest And Most Difficult Actors To Work With In Hollywood
Celebrities are easier than ever to expose for their on-set behavior.
There are many things that happen behind the scenes to ensure viewers are entertained with quality movies. From the decision to make a movie to casting specific actors and even beginning production, actors and actresses have a lot of work to do, and they do this with the crew's help.
Believe it or not, some of your favorite stars are nightmares to work with. While they may be highly talented, their attitudes on set can be quite appalling.
Whether it's refusing to shoot sequences together, treating their fellow cast and crew members poorly, or being spoiled and rude, these actors have earned bad reputations.
These complex personalities have sparked conflicts within Hollywood at various points. Sometimes, they even get barred from prominent roles.
