There are a lot of things that happen behind the scene to ensure viewers are entertained with quality movies. Right from the decision to make a movie, cast specific actors, and even begin production, actors and actresses have a lot of work to do, and they do this with the crew's help.

Believe it or not, some of your favorite stars are nightmares to work with. While they may be highly talented, their attitude on set can be pretty appalling.

Whether it's refusing to shoot sequences together, treating their fellow cast members and crew members poorly, or being spoiled and rude, these actors have earned bad reputations.

These complex personalities have sparked conflicts within Hollywood at different points. Sometimes, they even get barred from prominent roles.

It even gets so bad that the actors themselves find it difficult to land other jobs because, well, it's not easy to secure employment if everyone thinks you're a handful.

Thankfully, not all actors are tough to work with. Some are always a delight to be around regardless of who they partner with for a project.
