Dune: Part Two star Rebecca Ferguson has revealed that she refused to work with a former co-star after they exploded in anger while shooting a scene, and, as you might expect, speculation is running rampant online.
While being interviewed for the Reign with Josh Smith podcast, Ferguson was asked when she feels she's been "proudest of using her own voice." The Mission: Impossible actress then recalled working with an "absolute idiot" who grew frustrated while filming a scene and took it out on her by "screaming" and saying, "aren't you supposed to be an actor?"
The next day, Ferguson told the individual to "F-off," and made it clear to producers that she would only act in a scene with them if they turned around so she could see the back of their head.
“And then I remember the producers came up and said, ‘You can’t do this to number one. We have to let this person be on set.' And I said, ‘The person can turn around and I can act to the back of the head.’ And I did. I was so scared. I feel it now when I’m saying it.”
Ferguson didn't specify whether this was a male or female co-star, but the internet believes it's narrowed down the possibilities to: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Michael Fassbender, Hugh Grant and Jake Gyllenhaal.
The Rock, who worked with Ferguson on Hercules, shared the following response.
