Actors Who Hate the Movies They're In

All actors have to start somewhere, and that place can be a flop. Other, more prestigious figures might also star in some box office bombs to get humble before an epic comeback. But there are very few Hollywood actors with no stains in their filmography. The thing is, most of them won't ever admit they did a bad job or were part of an awful production. And others won't shut up about it.

Whether they had issues with the director, couldn't understand the script even after wrapping, or had awful scene partners that weren't helpful, a lot of actors have that one movie they hate and/or regret doing. Some of those were a wake-up call that gave them the perspective they needed to get better or a lesson they learned and never forgot.

Sadly, Hollywood has too many of these examples, so let's take a look at some actors who hate movies they're in.

While it was an extremely popular franchise, Pattinson described the story as "a book that wasn't supposed to be published." He also revealed he couldn't relate to his character, Edward Cullen, so he played it as a manic-depressive who hates himself.

In a 2007 interview, Pfeiffer admitted she “hated that film with a vengeance and could not believe how bad it was.”

When Spectre premiered in 2015, a journalist asked Daniel Craig if he imagined himself doing another Bond movie. His answer was… surprising: “I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists. Not at all. That’s fine. I’m over it at the moment. We’re done. All I want to do is move on.”

Crispin Glover - Back to the Future (1985)

Glover didn't like the ending of the first movie. He said, "I think if the characters have money, if our characters are rich, it's a bad message," and didn't return for the sequel. Rumors said he asked for two million dollars, and Steven Spielberg laughed. 

Christian Bale - Newsies (1992)

The TROLLEY STRIK ON FOR THIR

Although it's now considered a cult classic, Newsies was a box office bomb, and Christian Bale thought he wasn't going to be taken seriously after that flop.

The actress received the Razzie Award for Worst Performance and thanked Warner Bros. "for casting me in this piece-of-s---, god-awful movie." She gave her Razzie speech while holding her Oscar for Monster's Ball.

Andrew Lincoln - Love, Actually (2003)

Lincoln was uncomfortable with his character's famous cue card scene, saying he was afraid he would "come off as a creepy stalker" because it was the only character in the movie that didn't get what he wanted.

At the time, Clooney thought it was the correct move for his career, but he quickly realized he had made a huge mistake.

The movie that set the standard for video game adaptations at the time was a “f-- nightmare,” according to Bob Hoskins. He mentioned it's the worst thing he's ever done, and it was mostly due to the husband and wife team directing, “whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent.”

Alec Guinness - Star Wars: Episde I - A New Hope (1977)

Pitt described production as "the most irresponsible bit of filmmaking—if you can even call it that—that I've ever seen."

Sylvester Stallone - Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)

MAIL 25i-B.

Stallone said this is “maybe one of the worst films in the entire solar system, including alien productions we've never seen.” Years later, Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted he tricked Stallone by pretending he was interested in the film. At the time, both were pivoting to more comedic roles, so it made sense for Sly.

Sandra Bullock - Speed 2 (1997)

Sandra Bullock admitted the movie is "one wished hadn't done." There was no story to tell, and without Keanu Reeves, it just wasn't the same.
