Actors Who Got Famous Playing Roles That They Hated
You might know these actors for their famous roles in iconic films, but you may not know that they really hated the experience of acting in those roles. More than one cast member of the “Twilight”
films has openly expressed their detest of the vampire series, including Robert Pattinson, who had some choice words for fans of the film.
They hate their acting. They hate the writing. They hate the movie. But they all share one thing: they hate it. No matter how iconic the movie might be, some actors just can’t get over their performance or what went on behind-the-scenes to enjoy the final film…
Kate Winslet as Rose in “Titanic”
There are a couple reasons why Kate Winslet doesn’t love “Titanic.” The first is that she’s not a fan of her own performance in the movie. That, however, is a matter of opinion. What isn’t is that James Cameron was horribly mean to her on set. He apparently called her “
Kate Weighs-A-Lot.” No wonder she hated the experience.
Blake Lively as Serena in “Gossip Girl”
Blake Lively was a huge hit in “Gossip Girl.” But, Lively ultimately doesn’t think the show has a great message, calling it “personally compromising.” She also dislikes being constantly compared to the Manhattan socialite she portrays. “It’s a weird thing when people feel like they know you really well, and they don’t,” she said.
Zac Efron as Troy in “High School Musical”
Although “High School Musical” made Zac Efron a teen idol, Efron has no love for the person it made him. “I step back and look at myself and I still want to kick that guy’s [butt] sometimes,” he said. He worries that the role made people think of him as “still just that kid from [“High School Musical”].” Efron believes that it created an image for him that he has to constantly work to overcome.
George Clooney as Batman in “Batman & Robin”
By the time George Clooney appeared in “Batman & Robin,” he was already a huge television star, but he was still trying to make his transition to the screen. The role, however, wasn’t something he was happy with. During an appearance on “The Graham Norton Show,”
he expressed his distaste for his performance, “Let me just say that I’d actually thought I’d destroyed the franchise until somebody else brought it back years later and changed it. I thought at the time that this was going to be a very good career move. It wasn’t.”
