When egotistical actors are cooped up together for months on end on a movie set there’s always going to be friction. On the whole though, lavish trailers and massive paychecks help smooth over any niggles. Yet sometimes the angst gets too much for these pampered princes and princesses. They may be actors, but even the most experienced stars can’t hide their genuine dislike of fellow performers.
Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett
The legendary Harrison Ford didn’t take too kindly to whippersnapper Josh Hartnett on the set of ‘Hollywood Homicide’. Ford reportedly referred to Harnett as a "punk", with the young actor retaliating by calling the veteran “an old fart”. As a result the pair barely made eye contact during filming and continuously picked on each other at press junkets. The film flopped. Megan Fox and Michael Bay
Megan Fox shot herself in the foot when she slammed ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’ director Michael Bay for focusing on special effects and not acting (probably for the best as it starred Shia LaBeouf and, well, Megan Fox). Bay responded with; “That’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that”. He then didn’t cast her in the next ‘Transformers’ film. Whoops.
Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey
The two came to despise each other after a massive row on the set of ‘Red Dawn’. When Grey was informed that Swayze would play her on-screen romance in the iconic ‘Dirty Dancing’, she was so upset that she almost pulled out. Eventually though they had a deep heart-to-heart and made friends. Years later Grey broke down into tears on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ as she remembered her time with the late actor.
Bill Murray and Lucy Liu
Comedy actor Bill Murray couldn’t even raise a smile whilst filming ‘Charlie’s Angels’, as he took a serious dislike to Lucy Liu. It was rumored that Murray thought Liu had an out-of-control ego and he refused to make any appearances in support of the movie when it came out in 2000. He also turned down reprising the role in the sequel, ‘Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle’. In retrospect a good call.
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford
The granddaddy of Hollywood feuds - Bette Davis and Joan Crawford absolutely loathed one another. While filming ‘What Happened to Baby Jane?’, Davis actually kicked Crawford in the scene when she pushed her down the stairs. In return, when Bette had to drag Joan off her bed, Joan put on a weighted diver's belt underneath her costume, making her heavier to drag. Naturally, the duo also pitched in with some a-grade bitching. Discussing Davis' hair, Crawfod said: “I don't understand these Poodle cuts on elderly women”. Davis retorted by saying Crawford was “single handedly responsible for the syphilis outbreak in America.” Meow.
Sir Anthony Hopkins and Shirley MacLaine
Anthony Hopkins thought the boisterous Shirley MacLaine was overbearing and was constantly annoyed with her while filming ‘A Change of Seasons’ in 1980. When asked what she was like, he fumed “she was the most obnoxious actress I have ever worked with." Don’t sugarcoat it Ant!
Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe
Even though Curtis was rumoured to have had an affair with Marilyn Monroe during the making of ‘Some Like It Hot’ in 1959, he still managed to say that "kissing her was like kissing Hitler". She drove him crazy by continually arriving late for filming and always fluffing her lines. To make matter worse, director Billy Wilder would always use Monroe’s best takes while leaving Tony's choice deliveries on the cutting room floor.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes
Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes weren't didn’t exactly see eye to eye by the time ‘Romeo & Juliet’ finished filming. Danes grew tired of DiCaprio's onset pranks, branding him "immature", whilst he found her uptight and prudish. Not exactly star-crossed lovers.
Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren
Sophia Loren was cool and seductive while Marlon Brando was edgy and angry. Inevitably, when the two came together during the shooting of ‘A Countess from Hong Kong’ in 1966, the fur began to fly. A feud broke out after he asked her, right in the middle of shooting a love scene: "did you know you have hairs up your nostrils?" Smooth.
Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore
This feud during filming of ‘Red Planet’ began when Kilmer got annoyed over a fancy exercise machine Sizemore demanded the production ship from England to the set in Australia. Eventually the two hated each other so much Kilmer would reportedly not come out of his trailer if Tom was on the set. Many of their scenes together were even filmed over shoulders of photo doubles, if we are to believe some reports. Also, Kilmer reportedly refused to say Sizemore's character's name, substituting it for things like "Hey, you!".
We all know some celebs have their ways of looking younger, but these celebrity age comparisons are unbelievable…
Amy Childs and Emma Watson
Emma is older.
The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs is only 20 years old, while Emma Watson is 21, almost a year older. This could be surprising, however Amy is a lover of fake tan, hair extensions, oodles of make-up and has already had her breasts enhanced: gamine Emma is a fan of the natural look, which takes years off her. Being fake can sometimes be ageing! (Link)
Mark Wright and Robert Pattinson
Robert is older.
Yes ladies, boyish R-Patz is a good year older than TOWIE's Mark Wright. The club promoter-turned-reality TV star could pass for a man in his early 30s with his dapper suits and overly-neat appearance (and too many late nights, perhaps?) while messy-haired and bright-eyed Rob looks a good few years younger. Mark is 24; Rob is 25. (Link)
Kourtney and Kim Kardashian
Kourtney is older.
The Kardashian sisters are a beautiful bunch, there's no denying that. But we're still surprised that Kourtney, at 32, is two years older than Kim. Not that Kim looks old for her age... Kourtney just looks extremely young! She could pass for a teenager, almost. (Link)
Rachel Stevens and Katie Price
Rachel is older.
Katie Price would probably look her age if she ditched the fake tan and the heaps of make-up. Rachel Stevens, on the other hand, probably still can't buy alcohol at the supermarket without taking her ID with her, just in case. They're both the same age (33) but Rachel is older. (Link)
Alex Reid and Peter Andre
Peter is older.
Can you believe Katie Price's exes are three years apart in age, with Pete being the older of the two at 38? The suave singer is naturally blessed with smooth, dark skin and sparkly eyes. Also, he's not a competitive fighter, which could be Alex's downfall. Cage-fighting Alex is 35. (Link)
Megan Fox and Florence Welch
Megan is older.
Sultry actress Megan Fox is 25; singer Florence is just 24. Sure, they're only months apart in age but we're surprised that Flo is in her mid-20s! (Link)
Gillian McKeith and Denise Welch
Denise is older. These two blonde fifty-somethings have both recently been on reality TV shows (Gillian was on I'm A Celeb, Denise was on Dancing On Ice) but that's where the similarities end. Denise, who still enjoys a good night out on the town as well as a long-distance run, is a very youthful 53, while years of eating a strict diet (and probing other people's poo) hasn't worked too many wonders for Gillian, 51.(Link)
Nikki Grahame and Anne Hathaway
Nikki is older.
Now, we're not saying 28-year-old Anne looks old for her years, but she does exude a kind of mature elegance. And Big Brother's Nikki Grahame? Well, she's 29 but looks about 12, especially when she pulls faces like that. (Link)
Brad Pitt and Prince Edward
Brad is older.
OK, so it's probably not exactly fair to compare anybody to Brad Pitt, but it's incredible all the same. Brad Pitt turned 48 at the end of this year, while Prince Edward only turned 47 in March. (Link)
Whitney Port and Lady Gaga
Whitney is older. Former The Hills star Whitney Port is a year older than Lady Gaga who, at 25, confuses us. The Gaga singer has so much talent and prowess, not to mention the weirdest array of costumes, wigs and hats ever, she's an ageless entity and 25 doesn't seem to fit. Whitney, 26, exudes a peachy glow with her all-American goodness. (Link)
Konnie Huq and Hannah Waterman
Konnie is older.
While former Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq could easily pass for 25, actress Hannah Waterman has admitted that her face looks like a "bag of spanners" since she lost weight. We can't believe these two were born just days apart... Konnie probably struggles to get into nightclubs! The TV presenter is a mere five days older than the actress. (Link)
Russell Brand and Alan Carr
Russell is older. The Americanisation of Russell Brand, 35, is now complete. The comic-turned-actor looks far more polished than fellow Brit comic Alan Carr, who is a year younger at 34. Hollywood has waved its magic wand over the formerly dishevelled Russell... looking squeaky clean clearly takes the years off. (Link)
Mark Owen and Dara O'Briain
Mark is older.
Dara O'Briain is one of our favourite comedians, so we don't care that he almost looks old enough to be Mark Owen's dad. Who, by the way, has a baby face to rival the likes of Macaulay Culkin. The Take That star is the oldest here by a few weeks. Still surprising though. (Link)
Heidi Montag and Emmy Rossum
Emmy is older.
The Hills star Heidi Montag infamously had 10 plastic surgeries completed on the same day, but rather than making her look younger, they aged her. Now she could almost pass for actress Emmy Rossum's mother! (Link)
Johnny Depp and Todd Carty
Johnny is older.
It's hard to believe Johnny is even over the age of 35 with those cheekbones and his full head of hair. Former EastEnders actor Todd Carty looks his age, but Johnny is nothing short of a miracle. Maybe he lied on his CV about his date of birth? Rather ironically, the latest Pirates of the Caribbean instalment includes the search for the Fountain of Youth. We think Johnny's already been there. (Link)
Liv Tyler and Maggie Gyllenhaal
Liv is older.
Liv Tyler has a dewy, timeless look, while Jake Gyllenhaal's sister Maggie looks like she's had a few too many late nights! Both actresses live in New York and both are 33, but Liv is older by several months. (Link)
Aston Merrygold and Tinie Tempah
Aston is older.
Would you believe baby-faced Aston from JLS is older than Tinie Tempah? Aston turned 23 a few months ago, while Tinie is a year younger but could easily pass for 30. (Link)
Rachel Weisz and Lucy Benjamin
Rachel is older.
EastEnders actress Lucy and The Constant Gardener star Rachel are both in their 40s, but it looks like Rachel is stuck in a time warp. The movie actress is 41, while Lucy turns 41 in a few months. (Link)
Illuminati Royal Wedding – Kate Gets New Coat Of Arms Complete With Pyramid
Kate Middleton’s family has had a coat of arms designed, which will feature on a souvenir royal wedding programme.
Her father Michael commissioned the heraldic design to mark his daughter’s marriage to Prince William on 29 April. It features three acorn sprigs, one for each of the Middletons’ children: an idea Miss Middleton suggested. Royal experts say the coat of arms – which cost £4,400 to make – marks the increased social status of her parents and her potential as a future queen. Thomas Woodcock, Garter Principal King of Arms, from the College of Arms in the City of London, helped the Middletons with the design. He said the oak tree was a traditional symbol of England and a feature of west Berkshire, where the family have lived for 30 years. Mr Woodcock said the gold chevron in the centre of the coat of arms signified Miss Middleton’s mother, Carole, whose maiden name was Goldsmith.
Illuminati Royal Wedding – Kate Gets New Coat Of Arms Complete With Pyramid!
We never thought it would happen. But it looks like Kim Kardashian may be dethroned as having the biggest and brightest booty in Hollywood! Hip hop star Nicki Minaj is now on the scene, and she’s …
The film begins with the news revealing that an Egyptian pyramid was stolen. When super-villain Gru (Steve Carell) heard of this, his pride is wounded and he plans to pull the biggest heist of the century by stealing the Moon. Gru tries to get a loan from the Bank of Evil and meets a young super-villain named Vector (Jason Segel) who annoys him. However, the bank president Mr. Perkins (Will Arnett) refuses to grant Gru the loan until he obtains the shrink ray necessary for the plan. Mr. Perkins tells Gru that he is getting too old and the new super-villains are younger and better, like Vector who is revealed to be the one who stole the Pyramid of Giza. Gru and his minions steal the shrink ray from a secret lab in East Asia, but Vector steals it from him and shrinks his ship. Gru attempts to get the shrink ray back from Vector's lair, but all his attempts to enter the lair prove futile. After seeing three orphaned girls, Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and, Agnes (Elsie Fisher) enter the lair to sell cookies to Vector. Gru adopts the girls from Miss Hattie (Kristen Wiig), the head of the orphanage, to use them to steal back the shrink ray. Gru has his assistant Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand), build robots disguised as cookies. He then has the girls sell the robots to Vector, and the robots helps Gru steal the shrink ray. On the way home the girls ask to go to an amusement park. Gru agrees, intending to leave the girls there. Instead, he is needed to ride the roller coaster with them and ends up having fun with them. Back at home, he presents his plan to Mr. Perkins via video while being interrupted by the girls. Perkins again refuses to give him the loan, claiming that although he doesn't have a problem with the plan, he just wants a younger villain to do it instead. Gru has a flashback of his childhood, depicting his wanting to go to the moon after seeing the first moon landing. When he tried to impress his mother (Julie Andrews) with models of the rocket (and an actual working one), she just ignores it. Mr. Perkins calls Vector (revealed to be his son Victor) into his office to inform him that Gru has the shrink ray. He reassures his father that he will get the Moon. Gru almost abandons his plan due to lack of funds, but the girls and the minions take up a collection to keep it going. However, Gru has to make a choice because the moon will be in the optimum position for the heist on the same day as the girls' ballet recital. Dr. Nefario, seeing the girls as a distraction, contacts Miss Hattie, who arrives to take the girls back. Gru, the minions, and the girls are heartbroken. Gru goes on with his plan and flies to the moon. Gru successfully shrinks and pockets the Moon. Gru remembers the ballet recital and rushes to it. However, it has ended by the time he arrived. There, he finds a ransom note from Vector demanding the moon in exchange for the girls. After Gru hands over the moon, Vector reneges on the deal, keeping the girls and the moon. This enrages Gru, who storms Vector's lair, this time successfully breaching the defenses. Vector flies off in an escape pod with the girls. Gru holds on to the exterior of the ship. He nearly falls to his death, but is rescued by Dr. Nefario piloting the same ship that Vector shrunk before. Nefario reveals that the larger an object is, the faster the shrink ray's effects wear off. The quickly expanding moon frees the girls from their glass entrapment. Gru rescues the girls with the help of his minions, while the moon destroys Vector's ship and carries him into orbit. Gru and the girls settle down to live a happy life as a family and Vector is stranded on the Moon with a minion who drank anti-gravity serum. The girls give a special ballet recital for Gru, his minions, and his mother, who finally tells him she is proud of him and acknowledges him to be a better parent. The music changes from Swan Lake to You Should Be Dancing, and everyone rushes on stage to dance as the film ends.
