While many of these stars chose to carry out their feuds in more cunning ways, LL Cool J and Jamie Foxx kept things simple and straightforward with a bit of old fashioned fisticuffs. According to a report on MTV, things got so violent that the Miami-Dade Police had to be brought in. The report described Mr Cool J pushing Mr Foxx before punching him in the face. While Foxx was wearing a helmet at the time, it’s unclear as to whether that offered him any protection. Sounds bad right?
Well, according to LL Cool J, it was all in the name of putting on a good show. While pushing certainly wasn’t in the script (not to mention the punch), LL Cool J claimed he was just caught up in the moment and the fracas was all about making it real.
C3P0 vs. R2D2
Okay, so this feud was really between the actors behind the droids: Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker. However, fans of the Star Wars series may have noted a touch of sarcasm in R2-D2’s beeps and boops when directed at his bumbling gold companion, C3P0. As far as Daniels and Baker go, the cause of their feud was startlingly small. Daniels said “hi” to Baker one day and was, apparently, snubbed.
While this isn’t the nicest thing in the world. Daniels’ reaction to it seems strangely over the top. He described himself as entering a “blazing with rage.” Being snubbed was “the rudest thing anyone had ever done to me.” He went on to say he was “furious. It was unbelievable.” All we can say is, we’re glad he never met Bette Davis or Debra Winger!
Tyrese Gibson vs. James Franco
With a shocking 10% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s no surprise tensions were high on the set of Annapolis. The film did not go down well with fans or critics and it seems James Franco fared equally poorly in the eyes of his co-star, Tyrese Gibson. He made such a bad impression, in fact, that Tyrese swore to never work with him again.
While the details of what Franco did are unclear, we do know he tried to make amends for his behaviour after the film was released. He claimed he never “tries to be mean to people” and vaguely blamed Gibson’s feelings about him on perhaps having gotten too deep into his role.
Charlie Sheen vs. Selma Blair
Here’s a pair of actors who will never see eye to eye about why they fell out. Starring together in Sheen’s long-running sitcom, Anger Management, seemed to bring out the worst in each of them. Blair couldn’t stand Sheen’s work ethic (or lack thereof). In her eyes, he wasn’t professional and she wasn’t shy about telling people so. Sheen felt that Blair’s constant complaints about his lack of professionalism were unprofessional. So much so that, by June of 2013, he presented the producers of Anger Management with an “it’s me or her” ultimatum.
On that occasion, Sheen won out and Blair’s character was written out of the show. Apparently having her axed wasn’t enough. Sheen blasted Blair with enough expletive-ridden text messages that, in the wake of what she’d gone through on set, she threatened to sue him.
Channing Tatum vs. Alex Pettyfer
While they played best buds in Magic Mike, Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer are far from it in real life. Channing Tatum apparently felt that Alex Pettyfer had a bad attitude and, once that idea had settled in his mind, there was little anyone could do to shake it; Pettyfer included.
While many stars scramble to cover up their feuds for fear of being judged, Pettyfer was refreshingly honest, admitting that Tatum did not like him and owning that there were many reasons, most of which Pettyfer felt were his fault. Kudos for being adult enough to own the truth.
