“I Never Want To Work With Him Again”: Co-Stars Of Some Of Your Favorite Movies Who Didn’t Get Along At All Off-Camera

George Clooney And David O. Russell

Remember the movie Three Kings? The one with Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and George Clooney? Well, as it turns out, director David O. Russell (now very well-known for Oscar-nominated films Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle) and Clooney almost came to blows. Let’s allow Ice Cube to recount that story:

“…he was never satisfied that his star was George Clooney. So, that was the first problem. And it could never come out as he’s seen it in his head — so they would have to work on that all of the time. George Clooney had all of this technical dialogue and medical sh*t he was talking. Tactics and stuff. Then an extra f**ked up this big helicopter scene — an extra was in the wrong place. And David, all he did was [mimes grabbing a shirt], ‘Man, come on. Get over here!’ That made George go crazy. He’s like, ‘Dude, you can’t run in there and f**king put your hand on these extras and push them around, yelling.’ And David was like, ‘Man, just worry about your f**king acting.’ And that’s when they went at it. It was like two bulls forehead to forehead.”

The two have since buried the hatchet.
