00:00But he was completely a directorial school by fire.

00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at movie casts who could collectively agree

00:10that one particular co-star was the worst.

00:13I would have called my husband, I would say, listen, you gotta take care of Jared Leto.

00:17You know, just be between me and you.

00:20Number 10, Wesley Snipes, Blade Trinity.

00:24This threequel's dip in quality mirrors its production issues with star Wesley Snipes

00:28at the center.

00:29Jason Oswalt called Snipes crazy in a hilarious way, claiming he spent most days smoking weed

00:34in his trailer, refused to break character, and strangled director David Goyer.

00:38Wall of pot stench would just be like, whoa, and kind of push you to the side, and then

00:45he would only answer to the name Blade.

00:48Where Oswalt found humor in Snipes' alleged behavior, Jessica Biel thought the Blade actor

00:52was a little unnerving.

00:53Snipes also reportedly referred to Ryan Reynolds as a cracker.

00:56According to Oswalt, the filmmakers intentionally gave Reynolds the worst jokes and puns so

01:01they could cut to Wesley's face not doing anything, because that's all they could get

01:04from him.

01:05All the vampires go bye-bye.

01:06So, can we just go right ahead and sign you up for one of our secret Night Stalker Dakota

01:13rinks?

01:16Everyone was seemingly unified in making fun of Snipes, who reconciled with Reynolds twenty

01:19years later in Deadpool and Wolverine.

01:32Number 9 – Christian Bale – American Psycho

01:35Christian Bale is another actor known for going method.

01:37While this has resulted in some great performances, you can imagine how stressful this might be

01:41for Bale's co-stars, especially when playing a serial killer like Patrick Bateman.

01:56While Bale didn't go too far, Chloe Sevigny found it difficult to socialize with him,

02:00Working with Christian was pretty hard because I didn't know this whole method thing.

02:13Years later, when they re-teamed on Ford vs Ferrari, Josh Lucas told Bale all of the other

02:17actors thought that he was the worst actor they'd ever seen during the production of

02:20American Psycho.

02:22Lucas changed his tune after seeing Bale's performance in the finished film.

02:25Even so, Bale was in the dark about how his co-stars felt.

02:36Number 8 – Richard Pryor – Blue Collar

02:39There's no denying that Richard Pryor was a one-of-a-kind talent.

02:42With a history of heavy substance use though, he wasn't always the easiest person to work

02:46with.

02:47This was apparent on the set of Blue Collar.

02:51While there were tensions across the ensemble, Pryor was arguably the main source of conflict.

02:56Pryor reportedly didn't get along with Yafit Koto or Harvey Keitel, constantly arguing

03:00with them.

03:01Matters grew especially aggressive between Pryor and Keitel, who threw an ashtray's

03:05contents at the camera in response to his co-stars' prolonged ad-libs.

03:19In retaliation, Pryor had his bodyguard beat Keitel.

03:22Pryor also allegedly attacked Koto with a chair.

03:25The animosity extended to director Paul Schrader, who accused Pryor of pulling a gun on him.

03:36Number 7 – Shia LaBeouf – Fury

03:39The real battle in this World War II film was between Shia LaBeouf and his fellow actors.

03:44No stranger to erratic behavior, LaBeouf got into character by having a tooth removed and

03:48giving himself scars.

03:56LaBeouf also stopped bathing, much to the annoyance of Logan Lerman, Jason Isaacs, and

04:01Brad Pitt.

04:02The young actor was reportedly sent to a bed and breakfast to distance himself from the

04:05rest of the cast.

04:06There were also fistfights during production, although LaBeouf says this was part of a bonding

04:10experience suggested by director David Ayer.

04:22LaBeouf claims tensions de-escalated as the shoot wrapped, and his co-stars all love each

04:26other.

04:27According to a source, though, several people on set spoke out against LaBeouf, including

04:30Pitt and Ayer.

04:41Number 6 – Steven Seagal – Out For Justice

04:44Few actors have a worse reputation than Steven Seagal.

04:47It's safe to say he didn't make many friends during the production of this action-thriller.

04:55Seagal supposedly had co-star William Forsythe's screen time reduced, fearing he was better

05:00than him.

05:01Despite this, Forsythe said,

05:20No cast member grew to hate Seagal more than an up-and-coming John Leguizamo, who later

05:24worked with him again in Executive Decision, where a physical altercation broke out.

05:28Leguizamo has since repeatedly made fun of Seagal, even basing his character from the

05:32menu on him.

05:44Number 5 – Jared Leto – Suicide Squad

05:47Jared Leto's turn as the Joker received more attention for his off-screen behavior.

05:51Leto allegedly sent the cast an assortment of disturbing gifts, including used condoms,

05:56sex toys, and a dead pig.

06:02Some cast members tried putting a smile on Leto's methods.

06:04Margot Robbie was initially disgusted by the live rat Leto gifted her, although she wound

06:08up keeping it as a pet.

06:09Others struggled to see the joke.

06:11Viola Davis called Leto's gifts horrific, saying that he did some bad things.

06:23Adewale Akinnoye-Agbaje found Leto's actions downright selfish, not wanting his dirty leftovers.

06:41In response to online backlash, Leto said,

06:43If I do something risky and you don't like it, basically, you can kiss my ass.

06:47Number 4 – Val Kilmer – The Island of Dr. Moreau

06:59This production nightmare faced numerous obstacles, including an unpredictable Marlon Brando.

07:09Val Kilmer was perhaps the most antagonistic figure, however.

07:12Brought on board as a substitute for Bruce Willis, Kilmer refused to work the required

07:16number of days, resulting in him being designated to a supporting role.

07:19When Kilmer showed up on set reportedly two days late, he brought a hostile attitude with

07:24him.

07:25Supposedly, this was because Kilmer's marriage to Joanne Wally was ending.

07:37In any case, Kilmer added toxicity to an already uneasy environment, giving actor Rob Moreau

07:42another reason to quit.

07:44Although director Richard Stanley was replaced with John Frankenheimer, this did little to

07:47calm Kilmer.

07:48In addition to allegedly feuding with Brando, Kilmer was accused of generally being a prep

07:52school jerk.

08:03Number 3 – Marlon Brando – Mutiny on the Bounty

08:06Dr. Moreau was far from the first production that Brando made difficult.

08:10Mutiny on the Bounty was not only one of the most expensive films at the time, but also

08:14one of the biggest flops.

08:15Much of the blame went to Brando, who was accused of being controlling, tardy, and uncooperative.

08:28Aside from clashing with director Louis Milestone, Brando didn't get along with his co-stars.

08:32Trevor Howard called Brando unprofessional and completely ridiculous, while Richard Harris

08:36described him as a large, dreadful nightmare.

08:49Shooting one scene, Harris walked off the set and shouted to Brando,

08:52When you're ready to work, call me.

08:54Milestone would describe the production as the mutiny of Marlon Brando.

09:07Following its failure, Hollywood and Brando's career took significant turns.

09:11Number 2 – Sean Andrews – Dazed and Confused

09:14This hangout comedy launched several careers, most notably Matthew McConaughey's.

09:22In a way, McConaughey has Sean Andrews to thank.

09:24Initially, Andrews' Kevin Pickford was going to have a more prominent part.

09:28Director Richard Linklater could tell that the other actors weren't responding to Andrews,

09:32however.

09:33Linklater even broke up a fight between Andrews and Jason London.

09:35As such, Linklater reduced Andrews' role and gave McConaughey more screen time.

09:39The only cast member Andrews gelled with was Mila Jovovich, who also had her role downsized.

09:55Jovovich and Andrews got hitched behind the scenes, although the marriage was annulled

09:58after two months.

10:07The cast otherwise found Andrews cocky, as he built himself up as the next Marlon Brando.

10:12Well, Andrews and Brando have one thing in common.

10:31Number 1 – Lawrence Tierney – Reservoir Dogs

10:35Given this veteran character actor's background playing tough guys, Quentin Tarantino cast

10:39him as crime boss Joe Cabot in his debut film.

10:52It soon occurred to Tarantino that Tierney was, in his words, a complete lunatic.

10:57Tarantino thus decided to shoot Tierney's scenes first.

11:00During production, Tierney was arrested for drunkenly shooting his nephew at home, although

11:04he was released to complete filming.

11:06Tarantino told The Guardian,

11:07By the end of the week, everybody on set hated Tierney.

11:10It wasn't just me.

11:20This hectic week culminated in a fight between the actor and director, driving Tarantino

11:24to fire Tierney.

11:25In response, the whole set applauded Tarantino.

11:33While Tarantino ultimately got the scenes he needed from Tierney, they never collaborated

11:37again.

11:45Can you think of any actors who were infamously difficult to work with?

11:48Let us know in the comments!
