4 Actor Duos Who Fought So Much One Had to Go
Don't like a colleague? Just fire them.
At times, actors' conflicts on the set go beyond the usual working relationship: they become real enemies and start putting spokes in each other's wheels, sometimes even leading to the firing of one of the participants in the conflict.
Charlie Sheen and Selma Blair
Almost from the first day on set of Anger Management, the two couldn't stand each other. Sheen's patience broke when Blair complained to management behind his back.
The actress did not like the fact that a colleague was always late and did not give his work the attention it deserved.
As a result, the actor announced that he would not appear in new episodes of the series as long as Blair was involved in the project.
After weighing all the pros and cons, the producers sided with Sheen. As a result, the actress left the series.
Will Smith and Janet Hubert
Back in the '90s, Will Smith and Janet Hubert had a conflict on set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Janet did not like the fact that the young actor was constantly drawing all the attention to himself, while Will was annoyed by the constant accusations from his older colleague. As a result, Hubert left the show.
A few years later, Janet blamed Will for her firing. The actress confidently stated that Smith absolutely had a direct bearing on her dismissal.
Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone
The conflict between these two was terribly trivial – they fought over money. Stallone publicly called Willis a greedy and lazy man after he demanded four million dollars to appear in The Expendables 3.
As a result, Willis was left with nothing and Harrison Ford was taken in his place.
Bill Murray and Lucy Liu
On the set of Charlie's Angels, Murray repeatedly told Lucy that she was a bad actress. One day, the actor even stopped filming to tell her that again. Eventually, Lucy's patience snapped – she attacked the actor and began beating him.
All the staff on the set had to calm them down. Naturally, Liu demanded that the offender be fired. As a result, Murray was allowed to finish filming the first movie, but was never called back for the sequel.
