These 14 Actors Took Their Feuding to The Next Level (2 of 4)

Shannen Doherty and Everyone

One of the things that all of Shannen Doherty’s female co-stars have in common is perhaps a shared dislike for the actress. Doherty is popular for having some of the nasty on-set feuds between co-stars, and on the set of Beverly Hills 90210, she nearly came to blows with fellow castmate, Jennie Garth. Another 90210 stars, Tori Spelling, said in a 2015 Lifetime special that she got Aaron Spelling, her father, to get Doherty fired off the teen drama.

Four years after the 90210 debacles, Doherty found herself in the middle of another feud. This time, with castmate Alyssa Milano on the set of the movie, Charmed, which was another Aaron Spelling production. Alyssa Milano has said that days on set were really rough, and ‘’it was very much sort of like high school.’’ Also, an inside source from the show told TV Guide in 2001 that “it eventually became clear that [either Doherty or Milano] had to go.” It has been over 10 years since the whole debacle which ended in Doherty’s departure from the movie, but things seem to have been resolved between the pair. When Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, Milano reached out to her, and the two seem to now be on friendly terms again.

Richard Gere and Sylvester Stallone

It has been fairly obvious to everyone that there’s heated behind-the-scenes feud between Richard Gere and Sylvester Stallone. Stallone opened up about the beef between the stars during an Ain’t It Cool interview in 2006. Stallone said that Gere was the one originally cast as the lead actor, Chico, in the popular 1974 drama, The Lords of Flatbush. Even though the drama was a hit, the co-stars failed to hit it off as Stallone and Gere clashed on the set, which led to Gere being replaced by Perry King.

Stallone said that he remembers Gere being a real jerk on the set, including getting rough during fight scene rehearsals, and even spilling food on Stallone’s pants; “The director had to make a choice: one of us had to go, one of us had to stay. Richard was given his walking papers and to this day seriously dislikes me. He even thinks I’m the individual responsible for the gerbil rumor. Not true… but that’s the rumor.”

Robert Downey Jr. and Terrence Howard

Terrence Howard definitely has no reservations about speaking up against his former co-star, Robert Downey Jr. In 2013, Howard made an appearance on watch What Happens Life, and said the studio had initially signed him to a three-movie deal, “they came to me with the second and said ‘Look, we will pay you one-eighth of what we contractually had for you, because we think the second one will be successful with or without you’. I called my friend that I helped get the first job, and he didn’t call me back for three months.” For another three years, the pair did not manage to settle their differences, but they eventually came together again at the wedding of director Brian Grazer, in 2016.

Kevin Smith and Bruce Willis

Live Free or Die Hard found Kevin Smith and Bruce Willis working together with little or no qualms, the two actors found it harder to share the set of their 2010 police comedy, Cop Out, where Smith was a director and Willis starred. Before working together on the not so great movie, Smith was vocal about his admiration for the Die Hard superstar and even took a pay cut just to work with Willis. Unfortunately, the dreams of meeting/working with your heroes are often overrated, as the two superstars came with their massive egos.

Smith has described his experience while directing Willis as ‘’soul-crushing’’ and gives all of the credit to Willis’s co-star Tracy Morgan, for helping him get through the filming process… “Were it not for Tracy, I might’ve killed myself or someone else in the making of that movie.” Smith released a memoir in 2012, Tough Shit and went further into the details of the experience, saying that Willis was the unhappiest, most bitter, and meanest emo-b*tch I’ve ever met at any job I’ve held down. And mind you, I’ve worked at Domino’s Pizza.” Harsh.
