Rebecca Ferguson Slams 'Idiot' Celeb Who 'Screamed' At Her On Set
Rebecca Ferguson is recalling a time when she was disrespected by another celebrity on set.
On Tuesday’s episode of the “ Reign With Josh Smith” podcast , the Swedish actor opened up about the heartbreaking incident involving her “absolute idiot of a co-star” in a film.
“I remember there was a moment and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out,” Ferguson said.
“I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at. But because this person was No. 1 on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me. So no one had my back. And I would cry walking off set.”
Though she didn’t drop any names, she confirmed that the celeb in question was not her 2021 “Reminiscence” co-star Hugh Jackman, nor was it Tom Cruise, whom she’s appeared alongside in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise.
Ferguson added that the unnamed person would make rude remarks to her in front of the film crew, such as “you call yourself an actor?” and “this is what I have to work with?”
Ferguson said that she then decided to confront her co-star, even though she was “so scared.”
“I looked at this person and I said: ‘You can eff off. I’m going to work towards a tennis ball,’” she recalled, apparently referring to the practice of acting against a tennis ball in scenes that will later have computer graphics added.
“And then I remember the producers came up and said: ‘You can’t do this to No. 1. We have to let this person be on set,’” she continued.
“I thought it shouldn’t have to be that way. And I remember going to the director afterwards and saying, ‘What is happening?’” Ferguson added.
“The director said: ‘You’re right. I am not taking care of everyone else. I’m trying to fluff this person,’”
