Rebecca Ferguson Requests Replacement After Co-Star's Abuse, Chooses Tennis Ball Over "Idiot"
After the co-star "screamed" at her, Rebecca Ferguson explained how she approached them and demanded that they be taken out of the movie.
The Dune: Part Two actress talked about how she overcame bullying by speaking up against her "absolute idiot" co-star in an interview with the Reign with Josh Smith podcast.
Ferguson refrained from disclosing the actor's identity or identifying their gender. She did, however, clarify that it was not Tom Cruise or Hugh Jackman, with whom she had appeared in Mission Impossible and The Greatest Showman, respectively.
"I remember this human being being so insecure and angry because this person couldn't get the scenes out," Ferguson remarked.
And I believe that I was yelled at because I was feeling so exposed and uneasy. However, since this individual ranked first on a call sheet, I had no safety net. Nobody, then, had my back. And as I left the set, I would cry.
Rebecca remembered the remarks the individual would make to her, such as, "You call yourself an actor?" then, facing the film team, "This is what I have to work with?" She recalled, "I stood there just breaking."
Ferguson declared that she was going to confront her co-star the following day and urge him or her to "get off my set." She remembered being "so scared" of the exchange.
"I told this person to F off after giving them a quick glance. My goal is to become a tennis ball player. I hope to never see you again. The producers then, I seem to recall, approached and said, "You can't do this to number one." This person needs to be allowed on the set.
Ferguson claimed that she asked to play her co-star's sidekick. She said, "And I did." "I believed that wasn't the way things had to be. And I recall asking the director, "What is happening?" afterward.
You're correct, the director remarked. I am not looking after other people. Because of how unstable this individual is, I'm attempting to comfort them. And while it was fantastic right away, it took me a very long time to realise that.
