They are established stars, but when the camera goes off they don't know how to manage their egos and become the teammate that nobody wants to have.
Christian bale
Christian Bale is on Hollywood's blacklist, which includes the names of the most problematic actors and with whom, consequently, no one wants to work. He is one of the best of his generation, with an indisputable talent, but the actor has serious problems controlling his anger and his level of demand makes it difficult for him to make friends on film sets.
It is impossible to forget the fit of rage that he had during the filming of “Terminator Salvation”. The Welshman had violent behavior against the cinematographer, Shane Hurlbut, for accidentally interrupting the recording of a scene. A team member leaked the audio to the press and Bale was exposed. At that time, many predicted the end of the actor's career, even though he admitted that he was afraid that the public would reject him. Fortunately, that never happened; he has not stopped working and in his house, he already has two Oscars.
Apparently, he is also one of those performers who does not abandon his character when the red light goes out. In fact, Aitana Sánchez Gijón, who starred with the actor in the film "El Maquinista", affirmed that her colleague hardly spoke to anyone. But that is not all. He also has a reputation for being a bad teammate. Natalie Portman herself was a victim and witness to his lack of solidarity. During the recording of "The Knight of Cups" (2015), by Terrence Malick, Bale forced the team and his co-stars to repeat the scenes over and over again until he was completely satisfied, which on the other hand did not usually happen due to his constant search for perfection.
Katherine Heigl
The former doctor Izzie Stevens in "Grey's Anatomy" has also become famous for her bad manners in the workplace and she is one of the least loved by her colleagues. Katherine Heigl put her “diva” behavior on display when she withdrew from the Emmy race because she felt her character had lost presence on the ABC television drama, angering show creator Shonda Rhimes, and never again. appeared on the set of the show that launched her to fame. Then he boycotted the promotion of "Slightly Pregnant" criticizing the machismo of the film and ended up fighting with Seth Rogen, his partner in the film, and with the director, Judd Apatow.
But what made it impossible - they say - were his constant demands: suites in the best hotels and clauses in her contracts that gave her the right to rewrite the script or approve the rest of the cast. And so the interpreter gradually buried her own career. With the public in her pocket thanks to popular romantic comedies like "27 Dresses" and "The Ugly Truth," Heigl could have become a huge star. She seemed destined to inherit the title of America's Sweetheart from Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan. However, her nasty habit of badmouthing about all the projects in which he had participated made him gain a reputation as ungrateful and complicated. In recent years he tried unsuccessfully to return to television and has already added two canceled series to his resume: "Affairs of State" and "Reasonable Doubt".
