Hugh Jackman — Project 43
After the award for the best role in the film Les Misérables, actor Hugh Jackman fell out of the public eye and got involved in a film project called Project 43, an absurd black comedy. Only Jackman didn't feel like laughing. Hugh even posted a message from the future on social media in which he warned himself to refuse to film the movie Project 43.
The cause is the scene of the romantic blind date between Beth (Kate Winslet) and Davis (Hugh Jackman), in which the actor appears before the audience with “the anatomical peculiarity” of the male chin. Critics tore the film to pieces, and most of the famous actors who participated in the filming generally did not come to the premiere.
Arnold Schwarzenegger — Hercules in New York
Unlike Hugh Jackman, Arnold Schwarzenegger remembers his experience in the movie Hercules in New York with a smile: “It's a cheap movie that I always make fun of because, in reality, it's ridiculous and, in it, I make a fool of myself.”
The actor feels especially uncomfortable about the scene in which he fights with an artificial bear. “The guy dressed in a bear suit and me, a muscular fool, and all that in a ridiculous fight. “Just stop that movie.”
Jennifer Lawrence — Passengers
Jennifer Lawrence confessed that, before filming the erotic scene in the movie Passengers, she was very nervous. The actress was worried since it would be the first time that she would have to undress and, furthermore, in front of the married actor Chris Pratt.
After filming the scene, Lawrence returned home, but her worry only increased. "What have I done? I don't understand anything. “He's married!” she tormented herself. To ease her conscience, Jennifer called her mother: “Tell me everything is okay.” The actress said this is the most uncomfortable thing she has ever done.
Martin Sheen — Apocalypse Now
In the opening scene of the movie Apocalypse Now, Captain Willard, being devastated and drunk, makes a mess in the hotel room. The protagonist throws things, breaks the mirror into pieces with his fist, and, bleeding, plunges into a painful depression. And if that wasn't bad enough, during filming, the actor was actually drunk.
The following day, Sheen revisited the chaotic room and noticed the bloodstains on the bed, an unsettling sight that filled him with dread. "I felt deeply ashamed," Sheen admitted to the film's director, Francis Ford Coppola. Astonishingly, despite the passing decades, he has never viewed that particular scene, and to this very day, he steadfastly refuses to do so.
Nicole Kidman – Big Little Lies
Actress Nicole Kidman played the young Celeste who suffers from family violence in the series Big Little Lies. The slender, educated woman is forced to endure humiliation from her husband to “preserve the marriage.” The scene in which Celeste lies near the feet of her despotic husband, battered and trembling, makes Kidman clench her fists to this day.
"I found myself lying on the ground, utterly immobilized. Getting up seemed impossible, and the overwhelming feeling of humiliation consumed me," Kidman revealed. As she reflected on that moment, she admitted, "A seething anger welled up within me." After the filming concluded, the emotionally drained actress made her way back to the hotel. Attempting to unlock her door, she encountered yet another obstacle – the key had snapped. Frustrated and distraught, Nicole resorted to grabbing a rock from the ground and forcefully shattered the window to gain access to her room. Looking back, Kidman acknowledges that her violent reaction was a regrettable response to the emotionally taxing scene she had just portrayed.
Bryan Cranston – Breaking Bad
Actor Bryan Cranston, who played Walter White in the series Breaking Bad, can't help but cry when he remembers the filming of one of the episodes. It is about the scene in which he sees a friend of his student Jesse dying. Walter does not help her, but instead stands next to her and watches as the girl dies.
At that particular moment, Bryan Cranston was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions. He revealed, "My character initially steps towards her, driven by basic human instinct. Yet, in a split second, he hesitates, realizing, 'Hold on, she's battling addiction. If I intervene, I might harm Jesse. Perhaps it's best if I do nothing.' But then, I couldn't shake the fact that she's so young, almost like a daughter to me." This haunting scene left a lasting impact on the actor, prompting him to ruminate on it extensively and even grapple with a sense of culpability for his character's detachment.
