“Dune: Part Two” star Rebecca Ferguson revealed on the “Rain with Josh Smith” podcast that a co-star once yelled at her on set to such an unprofessional extent that she eventually retaliated and requested that He should work only against the back. Of the actor’s head. Ferguson did not reveal the actor’s name.
He said, “I did a movie with an absolutely idiotic co-star and this person was so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t pull off the scenes.” “And I think I was so insecure and uncomfortable that I got yelled at and I would cry walking off the set.”
“This person will literally look at me in front of the whole team and say, ‘You call yourself an actor? This is what I want to work with?’ “I was standing there breaking,” Ferguson continued. “Because this guy was number one on the call sheet, there was no safety net for me. Nobody had my back.”
Ferguson said that this experience was the first time she talked about herself as an actress on set. She reached the set the next day and told the actor, “You leave my set. You can F off. I’m going to work towards the tennis ball. I never want to see you again.
“And then I remember the producers came in and said, ‘You can’t do this to be number one. We have to let this person stay on the set,'” Ferguson recalled. “And I said, ‘The person can move around. And I can work from the back of the head. And I did. I was so scared. I am feeling it now when I say this.”
Ferguson eventually reported the situation to his director, who told him: “You’re right. I’m not taking care of everyone else. I’m trying to upset this person because he’s so unstable”
“It was great from that moment on, but it took me a long time to get there,” she concluded.
Ferguson did not reveal the actor’s name. As his comments gained popularity on social media, the actor received some support from Dwayne Johnson, with whom he co-starred in 2014’s “Hercules.”
“Hate to see it but love to see him stand up to the bullshit,” Johnson posted on X. Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven to our set. I love that woman. I would like to find out who did this.”
