whatculture.com and here are 10 famous actors who are notoriously difficult to work with number 10 Bruce Willis Bruce Willis is best known for playing characters that don't give a and that are also bald mother however you might be shock to learn that Bruce is more like Bruce's characters than you'd like well except for the Bal stuff you probably expected that according to Kevin Smith who directed Willis in copout and is known for his candid approach to saying bad words about celebrities Willis was something of a nightmare Smith smth branded Bruce is Sullen contrary and this is a direct quote Soul crushing to work with he isn't the first person to call Willis out on his attitude while making movies he's earned a reputation for shadow directing which is the movie making equivalent of being a backseat driver what are you talking about Willis I just I couldn't do this entry without saying it number nine Ed Norton this is Edward Norton Edward Norton takes himself very seriously which in terms of the Hollywood Machine is very good and very bad unfortunately he has earned himself a reputation of doing a Bruce Willis special AKA Shadow directing now I'm sure this is because Mr Norton wants to ensure the best movie possible but it also pisses off the people who are actually hired to direct Norton clashed with director Lou lerer on Incredible Hulk over creative differences and even ended up cutting the final version of American History X himself cuz he didn't trust Tony Kay to do a proper job maybe this is why they replaced him with Ruffalo the Buffalo number eight Shawn young Shawn young isn't the most famous person on this list there's a good chance you might not even know who she is beyond her role in Blade Runner and that's not just because it came out so long ago she's never gain top level Fame because she's apparently a little unhinged and boy does she like to exert creative control over the movie she works on even notorious good guy Bill Murray famously clashed with her on stripes when she started to question his acting methods which you don't do cuz he's Bill better yet sha young likes to exert control over movies she isn't even a part of as was the case with Batman Returns having lost out on a part she wanted the actress strolled unannounced into Warner Brothers and tried to break up a meeting between Michael Keaton and a studio executive that's a good way to ensure you never work again she's on there number seven Russell Crow Russell Crow's reputation as a man imbued with traits both volatile and aggressive is kind of what makes him Russell Crow it's like water being wet he doesn't take any poop and he wants you to know that he's fallen out with folk both on the sets of his movies and in real life and is renowned for his social fisticuffs Crow comes across as quiet and Moody he also once said of his own Star Quality I have that attitude what do you mean Russell Crow but attitude seems like the right word he's scared a few directors away with his demeanor over the years number six Julia Roberts oh not Julia fr so despite Miss Robert's tendency to play downto Earth characters she's got a reputation as being a diva apparently even lovely old Steven Spielberg look at his lovely face he's a grandpa he always was reached Breaking Point with the actor whilst filming hook the cast and the crew apparently nicknamed her Tinker hell and a director cut down her part greatly as a result Nick NY hated working with her during I love trouble and that feeling was definitely mutual Jules has even been called out for her inability to work with other women Cameron Diaz to name but one number five Dustin Hoffman for a long long time Dustin Hoffman was known as in Hollywood as someone you'd hire if you wanted to pursue a difficult working relationship and the thing is Hoffman isn't really bothered by that in fact he's admitted that he thinks it holds quite some truth in fact is his difficult rep came not from any divish outbursts but as a result of the dedication he showed to his roles to the point of which became fing irritating for those who worked around him Hoffman's most famous meltdown came on a set of syney Pollock's Tootsie when actor and director clashed over who had the most creative control still great actor great movie number four Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Lopez is Apparently one of the most notoriously difficult humans in the world if she isn't arguing with you on set she's sure as hell making your life a misery off it because Jennifer Lopez will not perform for you unless you meet her incredibly specific List of Demands it's in her contract yo for example in some Riders she specifies that backstage she must get a white room with white flowers white tablecloths white drapes white candles white couches and no tomato apple or grape juices that is in capital letters there are some who think her divish is a put on and a way to generate controversy and boost her image but it's more fun to say she's just a bastard number three Christian Bale if you're not a director or a producer or someone really important and you're working on a movie with Christian Bale stay out of his ey line or Hell hath no fury like this act of punching you until you die yes Chris was always known for having a temper but it wasn't until he signed on for Terminator Salvation And when absolutely freaking bananas at the Director of Photography that everyone realized the truth and that truth is Christian Bale is a bit of a diva do you want him to trash your lights do you want him to trash them like this in the background what the is it with you number two Mike Myers you could be forgiven for thinking that making a film with Mike Myers might make for a great old time but this costume inclined funny man has earned more of a reputation for going totally nuts on set she sh on a turtle he seems to have spent much of his career making everyone hate him those who have worked close with him often cite him as a genius but they also call him a moody temperamental control freak ouch one guy even reported that he got fired for looking the actor in the eyes whilst making Austin Powers did you just make eye contact with me you piece of crap a that is the opposite of groovy baby and number one Val Kilmer at one point Val Kilmer looked to be the most promising actor in Hollywood and yet each and every director that the man has ever worked with probably has something very bad to say about him which has likely led to the state of his career nowadays which is a shame because he used to be Batman and that was a stage of his most famous meltdown it occurred during the making of Batman Forever where Kilmer reportedly came to blows with Joel shoea to be fair given the state of the final product I'm kind of with Kilmer on this one and that's our list did we miss any out tell us about it in the comments don't forget to like share and subscribe you can follow me on
