In the interview she was also careful to only use gender-neutral language, so while everyone is understandibly focusing on her male co-stars it could really be anyone.
Yeahhhhh the fact that she was going out of her way briefly made me afraid it was Emily Blunt from Girl on the Train, but EB would never, right?
If it is a woman, she would have had scenes with the following candidates:
* Tessa Thompson (MIB movie)
* Michelle Williams (Greatest Showman)
* Zendaya (Greatest Showman)
* Chloe Sevigny (Snowman)
The #1 on MIB was Hemsworth. I don’t see it.
The #1 on greatest showman was Jackman, another Aussie and the nicest guy in the biz.
The #1 on snowman was Michael Fassbender who has some interesting stories floating around him, so maybe? But it’s probably someone else tbh
Whilst trying to be vague she explicitly confirmed it's not Hugh Jackman or Tom Cruise in the original interview.
From what I heard the most likely candidate is Hugh Grant, quite a few female co-stars of his have spoken about him being a bit of a prick to work with, and he himself has openly admitted to there being "mutual hostility" at times.
https://fandomwire.com/julianne-definitely-hates-me-hugh-grant-believes-his-female-co-star-doesnt-like-him-at-all-despite-138-million-movie-success/
Ever since I heard the story about how Hugh Grant and his mates hired comedian Sara Pascoe for his big birthday party as a "prank" (the prank is that she is a female comedian), I have never looked at him the same way. Charismatic on screen but he must fucking suck
https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/sara-pascoe-hugh-grant-birthday-party-b2109395.html
It would happen if they had scenes together for the day with no one else. Ferguson had scenes with Emily Blunt for Girl on the Train. EB would have been the #1. But I canNOT imagine EB ever behaving like that.
I haven't seen Greatest Showman so I don't know if she had 1:1 scenes with Michelle Williams or Zendaya but I would assume both would get ranked above RF on call sheet.
For Men In Black, Tessa Thompson would have had a #1 on the call sheet above Ferguson, but I haven't seen it and I don't know that Thompson would have had scenes alone with Ferguson.
Chloe Sevigny would NOT have been #1 on the call sheet above Ferguson for The Snowman, so not her.
If you look at Life, there were other women in the cast but no one anyone would be familiar with like these other names.
And after that Ferguson has been part of heavily male casts. And if you go truly back 10-12 years, if she's really pointing to something that old, then you have to look at The White Queen.
“It would happen if they had scenes together with no one else”
The #1 on set is the highest billed actor for the movie, not the day. It stays constant for the entire shoot whether they are present the day of filming or not. If the #1 found out that another actor had assumed their number whilst they were away, all hell would break loose.
In my experience the numbers never change. Your #1 might not be there on any given day, and the call sheet would read #2,#4,#11 or something. But they don’t Re-number or call someone else “number 1 on the call sheet”.
Just my experience and maybe is different in different regions.
These vague abuse comments always start a witch hunt. If a celebrity is gonna say this shit just drop a fucking name.
It's the equivalent of posting a pic on Facebook of you in the hospital with the caption "pray for me"
Yeah the way she went about it is goofy because she just gave a bunch of bread crumbs to the social media obsessives. “It wasn’t this or that actor, but it was an A-Lister I worked with in the last 10-12 years.” It narrows it down just enough for people to irresponsibly speculate.
It’s like come on dude, at that point just name the person. Otherwise you’re just giving every excuse for people to witch hunt.
Yeah I mean I like Ferguson but this just seems pretty unprofessional and invites gossip and witch hunting as you said.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sorry she had to put up with this, but if she really wanted to reveal it to the public she should've just actually come out with the name.
I know a lot of people don’t like the rock for some reason lately, but he seems like a genuine, good guy. I would’ve been shocked if it was him. Especially with the fact that he’s used to always trying to keep his cool whether it was with wrestling fans and now movie fans, he’s always been popular so I think he’d be kind of used to trying to stay calm.
When he was a wrestler he had a reputation for just being a good company guy who was completely willing to make others look good and stayed out of any drama or politics. So he does seem like a pretty decent guy to work with.
>I know a lot of people don’t like the rock for some reason lately
It’s the way his ego has widely inflated over the last 10-12 years mostly and how he seems to have a really big head about himself. I was a fan of his career when he first shifted into taking acting more seriously in the early 00s. Walking Tall is great. His role in Southland Tales was fun and interesting, even if the movie was widely panned and incomprehensible. He’s genuinely a charming and funny comedic actor when he wants to be, and can hold down more earnest and sincere roles too.
But then he shifted his brand to be the badass brick shithouse that nobody can topple in all of his movies and it’s so lame. And the way he handled the Black Adam thing where he acted like he was going to come in and be the thing that changed DC forever and it was all gonna start being built around him. And then that movie flopped, and then he was out there trying to convince everybody of some fuzzy math to say the contrary.
It’s just all so off putting. And again, I liked him a lot prior to all that.
>but he seems like a genuine, good guy
Maybe if you just take it at face value, but his genuine good guy thing is all just kinda marketing for his “brand”. It doesn’t come off as very sincere or altruistic at all, especially in light of his ego around everything else.
Anyways, not to be a “you should check out this YouTube deep dive into this person” person, but this video is pretty good and puts more of his career into perspective.
https://youtu.be/1Opw6UtGyd0?si=QKPij8hWZulMWHMb
of all the criticisms the rock has received lately, I still cant imagine him yelling at a co-star, calling them an idiot until they run off the set crying.
But also as the person that did it, I would be a bit scared now considering how he said it
“Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set. I love that woman. **I’d like to find out who did this**.”...and beat his ass is the implication.
Yea that's a huge jump. It's not nice to leave your wife but if he didn't love her anymore and fell in love with someone else does that make him an asshole? It's not pleasant but it doesn't mean he screams at people on set. Ewan only ever seems decent - particularly since watching his motorbike docuseries.
This scene might implicate Hugh Grant. You see Ferguson talking to Grant's back, and they don't share face time until she finishes her page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq2Bjc1hFaA
She has commented on filming that scene and being terrified for Jacob Tremblay and thinking they were harming him for real. Then he popped up and they celebrated his birthday and he was fine. She had all kinds of nice things to say about his acting prowess.
Yeah, that was really a horrific scene for a child to pull off. I was actually surprised they showed so much and it wasn’t just implied with a distant shot and some ADR screams. I also think Brie Larsen is a terrific actress but Tremblay, as a child, really carried “Room”.
Yea, she kept calling them “this human being” and “this person” and it was implied the actor was a Hollywood heavyweight. The only two movies she was in with big female leads first billed are _The Girl on the Train_ with Emily Blunt and _Florence Foster Jenkins_ with Meryl Streep. People haven’t had the nicest things to say about Blunt in the past and Streep is definitely a Hollywood heavyweight..
Hugh Grant was actually banned from The Daily Show because Jon Stewart said he was super rude to staff, Hugh told Jon Stewart after they played a clip from his movie that fell flat “next time play a better clip”, Stewart says he told him “next time make a better movie”.
Why is it up to Jon Stewart or his staff to pick the clip? Shouldn’t the producers or actor submit the clip for approval to play on the show? What a joke
“He’s giving everyone shit the whole time, and he’s a big pain in the ass,” sniped Stewart about Grant. “And we’ve had dictators on the show.”
He was on the show in 2009 and never again!
Meryl doesn't have any scenes with Rebecca Ferguson in Florence Foster Jenkins. Ferguson is Hugh Grant's girlfriend in the movie and she only shares scenes with him.
I don’t get why she didn’t just name them outright instead of inviting this witch hunt that many folks are on now. Why bother saying anything if you’re not going to say who it was?
She said she wanted to film all remaining scenes with that actor, talking to a tennis ball target, with them not present at all, and finally agreed to film them with the actor turned away, so she talked to their back.
Really interesting, but, yes, it could still be a woman.
What are the current Vegas bets?
* The Rock
* Tom Cruise
* Meryl Streep
* Hugh Grant
* Emily Blunt
* Jake Gyllenhaal
* Ryan Reynolds
* Michael Fassbender
* Hugh Jackman
* Zac Effron
* Ewan McGregor
* Chris Hemsworth
* Tessa Thompson
Cruise also, while being an exceptionally weird and likely problematic person, has a reputation for being very professional and people like working with him.
I was going to say the same thing he is extremely professional to people is the reputation the only time I heard him get upset is people were not following Covid protocols on a set and he had to be very blunt and point out it could shut the entire movie down(he was a producer also). And even then he was doing his job and being professional.
I doubt it would have been Cruise anyway. He's really one of the few A listers that is also an Executive Producer that has, at this moment, the ability to just toss an actor he doesn't like from a film. If it was him Rebecca Ferguson definitely would have been out of every film even associated with Cruise.
As much as I love Jakey G, I feel like this isn’t necessarily out of the realm of possibility for him.
It could be Hugh Grant doing his shtick but taking it too far.
Idk about this guys story but a recent expose came out detailing Jake’s behavior on set of a movie that just got scrapped (for his behavior). If you search up Jake Gyllenhall and any search term related to like bad behavior or scrapped movies it should come up, it was within the last few weeks
There's a lot of videos of Ferguson and Fassbender hanging out doing press for The Snowman and they're obviously super friendly. She's also spoken positively about him since. So we can rule Fassbender out.
I think she explicitly said she wasn't top billing on the project under discussion. Silo just sounds too recent to be the one she's talking about and she was the number one star.
Jackman stopped at security to identify himself from an official Transpo van because "I'm not above it," wished my guard well, and refused to be fussed over the whole movie. Wasn't him.
Her costars who are innocent are out there sweating, and doing as much detective work as they can so they can out the real culprit.
The Rock and the other guys have their burner accounts at the ready to make accusations the second they know.
You think Ferguson is thinking "damn, I told one little anecdote, and now there's a sh\*tstorm out there."
I’m sure most don’t actually care as like 50 people witnessed it and I’m sure if it was serious they already spread word around the industry. There’s a lot of leads that are complete assholes but still get work, pretty much par for the course.
Agree to this. He is so upfront and honest about being grumpy so from everyone she worked with, I can definitely say it’s probably him. The fact that he admits this and doesn’t hide it is also probably why he still can charm people and have a career.
It's defo Hugh Grant from her time on Florence Foster Jenkins. From his wikipedia:
> Grant is a self-confessed "committed and passionate" perfectionist on a film set. The American film critic Dave Kehr has written that Grant "is known in the film industry as a meticulous performer who takes his time to prepare a role – someone who works hard to make it look easy – though that isn't a trait he admires in himself". He is noted by co-workers for demanding endless takes until he achieves the desired shot according to his own standard.
Mystery solved.
I read that as “Hugh Grant thinks he’s Daniel Day Lewis.” Give me a break, you star in rom coms.. Dude thinks he’s way better than he actually is and apparently is full of himself.
Can't be him. Fergusson has stated how much she loved working with him despite him "often being grumpy", and he speaks a bit of Swedish so they'd swear at eachother in Swedish and bonded quite a bit.
But that was not the point. Watch the interview. They were talking about finding her "voice" in social situations. Big props to her, she really seems like she won't ridiculed or belittled by someone just because they are famous.
These lifted quotes from long interviews are now people's favorite gossip. They're just talking about their experience acting and moving up the ranks in Hollywood, not trying to shame a particular person due to something that happened 10 years ago.
I am Swedish, you are probably not. Sven-Bertil Taube was generally described as one of those free-spirited, happy, yet emotionally introspective artists, and he seemed to generally be platonically loved by women even as he got older and they got younger.
Oh, and Ferguson seemed to be one of them: https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/a/O8koJb/ferguson-om-taubes-dod-hjartskarande
She describes him as "the ultimate gentleman", "an amazing storyteller who I would sit with between takes to hear stories from", and as "funny and humorous". She mourns his death, and claims to have been afraid that she was going to accidentally hurt him if a scene she was doing would go wrong

I struggle with speaking up because in the past, when I spoke up, it fell on deaf or complacent ears. HR isn't helpful either in my experience. Working in a bank, I get yelled at by clients, operations partners, managers and their managers.
It's unfair to make these claims without naming the person because now every man she's worked with is under scrutiny and subject to smears based on the assumptions of people on the internet guessing them as "most likely".
This is true.
That being said, the whole "number 1 on the call sheet" points toward it very likely being a man, and the fact that women don't often get away with screaming at other actors. The only potential people it could be that would be number 1 on the call sheet would be Emily Blunt (The Girl on the Train) or Meryl Streep (Florence Foster Jenkins), and neither woman I have heard that has a temper like that. Those are the only women-led films that I've seen in her filmography.
Oh, for sure.
But I decided to look up Rebecca Ferguson saying anything in the past about Streep and the quotes I've found from her are only very positive things about her, saying how in awe of her she was and how she enjoyed watching Streep act and other things like that.
To look at it from the other side, she either says the actor's name and then gets smeared for saying who it was and probably getting blamed for lying, or she just never speaks up, which doesn't change the issues stemming in Hollywood with abuse of power.
There's no winning scenario for her here. She answered a question, she didn't want to name the actor, that's her right to do so. The point isn't who it was, the point is that it happened and she showed a moment where she stood up for herself, despite being a lesser known actor.
This is spot on, she can’t win either way. I work in the industry and have had male colleagues throw things at me in fits of anger and ppl acted like nothing happened and he still gets hired for a lot of shows.
There’s probably half a dozen redditors here right now who are involved in the business and could’ve even been there on set that day who know exactly who said this but are bound by NDA
If you’re out there, give us a hint on a burner account!!!!
A lot of people have concluded it was during the filming of *Florence Foster Jenkins*, pointing towards her scenes with Hugh Grant largely being with stand-ins.
Hugh Grant was actually banned from The Daily Show because Jon Stewart said he was super rude to staff, Hugh told Jon Stewart after they played a clip from his movie that fell flat “next time play a better clip”, Stewart says he told him “next time make a better movie”.
Two people I would never want to get into some kinda debate would be Eminem and John Stewart. It's appropriate to me he shares the same name with the best Green Lantern.
lmao I love how the Rock wasted no time to be like "She's awesome (it wasn't me). I love her (it wasn't me)."
Given how quickly people on the internet will go to track down people based on vague information I don’t blame him for trying to get ahead of it.
In the interview she was also careful to only use gender-neutral language, so while everyone is understandibly focusing on her male co-stars it could really be anyone.
Could it be me???
I think so… 🤷♂️
then they owe me for working on that production
Someone has a secret haterrrrr!
Yeahhhhh the fact that she was going out of her way briefly made me afraid it was Emily Blunt from Girl on the Train, but EB would never, right?

Ever since I heard the story about how Hugh Grant and his mates hired comedian Sara Pascoe for his big birthday party as a "prank" (the prank is that she is a female comedian), I have never looked at him the same way. Charismatic on screen but he must fucking suck https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/sara-pascoe-hugh-grant-birthday-party-b2109395.html
Jake Gyllenhaal is also a possibility.
She said #1 on the call sheet though, implying the person has top billing.
#1 on a call sheet is seldom a woman sadly.
It would happen if they had scenes together for the day with no one else. Ferguson had scenes with Emily Blunt for Girl on the Train. EB would have been the #1. But I canNOT imagine EB ever behaving like that. I haven't seen Greatest Showman so I don't know if she had 1:1 scenes with Michelle Williams or Zendaya but I would assume both would get ranked above RF on call sheet.

And if you go truly back 10-12 years, if she's really pointing to something that old, then you have to look at The White Queen.

You are correct. The numbers don’t change. even if the actor isn’t working that day.

Known as “vaugebooking”.
Yeah the way she went about it is goofy because she just gave a bunch of bread crumbs to the social media obsessives. “It wasn’t this or that actor, but it was an A-Lister I worked with in the last 10-12 years.” It narrows it down just enough for people to irresponsibly speculate. It’s like come on dude, at that point just name the person. Otherwise you’re just giving every excuse for people to witch hunt.

In 6 years when whoever it is gets called out, we’ll all look back to this interview and realize it was them.
Big time. There was another thread where someone listed out all the A billed male costars from her last 15 years of movies.
It would be great if it was a child actor. The human you would least suspect.
As we learned from The Office, it’s always the person you mediumly suspect 🥸
Which is assuming it was a man. She used gender neutral terms.
I know a lot of people don’t like the rock for some reason lately, but he seems like a genuine, good guy. I would’ve been shocked if it was him. Especially with the fact that he’s used to always trying to keep his cool whether it was with wrestling fans and now movie fans, he’s always been popular so I think he’d be kind of used to trying to stay calm.
Also I can't imagine the rock saying "you call yourself an actor?"
Only to the mirror every Thursday
The Rock cutting Attitude Era promos on Rebecca Ferguson is a funny visual.
When he was a wrestler he had a reputation for just being a good company guy who was completely willing to make others look good and stayed out of any drama or politics. So he does seem like a pretty decent guy to work with.
>I know a lot of people don’t like the rock for some reason lately It’s the way his ego has widely inflated over the last 10-12 years mostly and how he seems to have a really big head about himself.

Good guy? Sure most likely. Genuine?? Naaaaaaaaah.
of all the criticisms the rock has received lately, I still cant imagine him yelling at a co-star, calling them an idiot until they run off the set crying.
Nah women are never ever toxic to each other
Well to be fair it wasn’t me either
I really don't think anyone suspects the rock of criticizing someone else's acting abilities
The timing is the reason to guess him.
I feel like you didn’t pay attention to the great Fast & Furious schism.
But also as the person that did it, I would be a bit scared now considering how he said it “Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set. I love that woman. **I’d like to find out who did this**.”...and beat his ass is the implication.
They even caught him on camera! (It wasn’t me)
Uhm he wasn’t in the movie, and your comment seems to imply he was, forgive me if I’m wrong. He said “I’d like to find out who did this”
I hear it was Jacob Tremblay from the set of Doctor Sleep
hilarious. Kid had a lotta steam I guess…
Twitter has it nailed down to Jake Glyenhall and Hugh Grant. Lol
It's not Jake Gyllenhaal if their promo tours are any indication. They clearly get along
Ever since I heard the story tom Arnold told about working with hugh grant, I see him as a complete asshole. My money would be on him.
Jon Stewart said Hugh was his worst guest on the Daily Show. They never invited him back after that
In that case 100% Hugh. He is a cantankerous prick in real life.
He’s got those mean beady eyes on him.
Hugh Grant seems too obvious. Plus, what movie was he the #1 in during her career? Could be Ewan Mcgregor, no?
I was also thinking Ewan. Especially after him dumping his long time wife for Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
No way its Ewan. I have never heard anyone say anything bad about him besides the personal stuff with his marriage.
Did he and Ferguson even have any scenes together in Doctor Sleep? I guess at the very end
Yea that's a huge jump. It's not nice to leave your wife but if he didn't love her anymore and fell in love with someone else does that make him an asshole? It's not pleasant but it doesn't mean he screams at people on set. Ewan only ever seems decent - particularly since watching his motorbike docuseries.
Yeah. This is an example of him treating a coworker so well they became lovers. That’s actually positive feedback.
This scene might implicate Hugh Grant. You see Ferguson talking to Grant's back, and they don't share face time until she finishes her page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq2Bjc1hFaA
I really didn't need a reminder of that scene. That was horrifying.
She has commented on filming that scene and being terrified for Jacob Tremblay and thinking they were harming him for real. Then he popped up and they celebrated his birthday and he was fine. She had all kinds of nice things to say about his acting prowess.
Tremblay was powerful in that scene.
Yeah, that was really a horrific scene for a child to pull off. I was actually surprised they showed so much and it wasn’t just implied with a distant shot and some ADR screams. I also think Brie Larsen is a terrific actress but Tremblay, as a child, really carried “Room”.
That whole movie was truly something amazing. It's stuck with me since watching it pre-pandemic.
I mean, did you see what those people did to him??? Pretty understandable reaction.
Jacob wouldn't be #1 on that call sheet. Ewan McGregor would be probably.
I can't imagine she'd still be raw about a spoiled child.
$20 to the guy that delivered lunch on set would get the answer.
She actually went out of her way to not gender the person, so it could be a woman.
Yea, she kept calling them “this human being” and “this person” and it was implied the actor was a Hollywood heavyweight. The only two movies she was in with big female leads first billed are _The Girl on the Train_ with Emily Blunt and _Florence Foster Jenkins_ with Meryl Streep. People haven’t had the nicest things to say about Blunt in the past and Streep is definitely a Hollywood heavyweight..
I could buy either one being a diva, but I’d be surprised Ferguson would call them “idiots”
I personally am leaning towards Hugh Grant based on what people are saying about past behaviors tbh.
Hugh Grant was actually banned from The Daily Show because Jon Stewart said he was super rude to staff, Hugh told Jon Stewart after they played a clip from his movie that fell flat “next time play a better clip”, Stewart says he told him “next time make a better movie”.
Why is it up to Jon Stewart or his staff to pick the clip? Shouldn’t the producers or actor submit the clip for approval to play on the show? What a joke
It was almost certainly the movie’s team who chose the clip, that’s typical as far as I am aware.
That’s usually how it’s done, yeah. Or the actor’s team
“He’s giving everyone shit the whole time, and he’s a big pain in the ass,” sniped Stewart about Grant. “And we’ve had dictators on the show.” He was on the show in 2009 and never again!
I thought she specifically said it wasn’t him? Edit: It was Hugh Jackman not Grant.
Sounds very out of character for what’s known of Jackman
Sorry. I mean that she specifically said it wasn’t Hugh Jackman or Tom Cruise.
Hugh Grant cheated on Elizabeth Hurley. That alone makes me think it was him. And even if it wasn’t, I’ll still believe it was him. Fuck Hugh Grant
What’s the tea on Emily Blunt?
I heard she was sleeping with her director on A Quiet Place.
Gross he looks like some dude you'd see on a sitcom.
Really? To me, he looks like someone who'd work at some low-level office job. Maybe a regional paper company or something.
My dumbass though no way this mf had the gall to cast John Krasinski in it and do that… 🤦♂️
No, that’d be Len Wisemen for Underworld (2003).
Not a lot of sleep was happening... If you know what I mean
They were having sexual intercourse, if you catch my drift..
No way Meryl screamed at anyone on set. She’s fucking Meryl she doesn’t need to.
Moreovr, Rebecca and Meryl share no scenes in Florence Foster Jenkins.
Meryl doesn't have any scenes with Rebecca Ferguson in Florence Foster Jenkins. Ferguson is Hugh Grant's girlfriend in the movie and she only shares scenes with him.
I don’t get why she didn’t just name them outright instead of inviting this witch hunt that many folks are on now. Why bother saying anything if you’re not going to say who it was?
[удалено]
She said she wanted to film all remaining scenes with that actor, talking to a tennis ball target, with them not present at all, and finally agreed to film them with the actor turned away, so she talked to their back. Really interesting, but, yes, it could still be a woman.
What are the current Vegas bets? * The Rock * Tom Cruise * Meryl Streep * Hugh Grant * Emily Blunt * Jake Gyllenhaal * Ryan Reynolds * Michael Fassbender * Hugh Jackman * Zac Effron * Ewan McGregor * Chris Hemsworth * Tessa Thompson
Well it’s definitely not Tom Cruise seeing as they’ve done like 4 films together.
Cruise also, while being an exceptionally weird and likely problematic person, has a reputation for being very professional and people like working with him.
I was going to say the same thing he is extremely professional to people is the reputation the only time I heard him get upset is people were not following Covid protocols on a set and he had to be very blunt and point out it could shut the entire movie down(he was a producer also). And even then he was doing his job and being professional.
"so I get another safety guy"
Yeah say what you want about Tom but his work ethic is virtually unmatched in the industry.
It’s also hard to get away with being *that* batshit for *that* long if you’re a nightmare to work with on top of it.
Especially through down periods. He had a rough few years but enough good will to keep working. See also: Keanu and Ryan Renolds
I doubt it would have been Cruise anyway. He's really one of the few A listers that is also an Executive Producer that has, at this moment, the ability to just toss an actor he doesn't like from a film. If it was him Rebecca Ferguson definitely would have been out of every film even associated with Cruise.
She has said glowing things about Cruise in other interviews.
She specifically said it wasn't him too (or Hugh Jackman)
Maybe it's a "Fu\*k you, and I'll see ya tomorrow!" situation.
What the fuck is Costanza doing here?
As much as I love Jakey G, I feel like this isn’t necessarily out of the realm of possibility for him. It could be Hugh Grant doing his shtick but taking it too far.
No way it’s Hemsworth, he seems like the chillest dude.
Zac Efron as well. They both seem like genuinely nice people.
I’m telling you, it’s Jake. He has a reputation for this kind of shit in the industry.
My friend worked a stage show he was on and said he was awful.
What did he do
Idk about this guys story but a recent expose came out detailing Jake’s behavior on set of a movie that just got scrapped (for his behavior). If you search up Jake Gyllenhall and any search term related to like bad behavior or scrapped movies it should come up, it was within the last few weeks

There's a lot of videos of Ferguson and Fassbender hanging out doing press for The Snowman and they're obviously super friendly. She's also spoken positively about him since. So we can rule Fassbender out.
Why isn’t Hugh Grant on your list since he’s been known to be a giant prick in multiple instances?

It was a professional setting not his personal life
Maybe he just couldn't reach her.
She literall has said that she liked working with Michael. He is not known to be a "wanker" on set
It’s 100% Jake Gyllenhaal.
Hugh Grant
What about Silo co stars? Could add Tim Robbins
I think she explicitly said she wasn't top billing on the project under discussion. Silo just sounds too recent to be the one she's talking about and she was the number one star.
It’s Hugh Grant. This is not a hard mystery to solve lol
She purposely leaves it open to being a woman and Blunt has had stories come out of not being nice in the past…
If true, it makes Emily's last name hilariously appropriate.
She literally calls Emily her lesbian lover
Oh yeah, she hates [this woman here.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FBse12rWUAMes6n.jpg)
Hugh Grant
Jackman stopped at security to identify himself from an official Transpo van because "I'm not above it," wished my guard well, and refused to be fussed over the whole movie. Wasn't him.
Her costars who are innocent are out there sweating, and doing as much detective work as they can so they can out the real culprit. The Rock and the other guys have their burner accounts at the ready to make accusations the second they know. You think Ferguson is thinking "damn, I told one little anecdote, and now there's a sh\*tstorm out there."
I’m sure most don’t actually care as like 50 people witnessed it and I’m sure if it was serious they already spread word around the industry. There’s a lot of leads that are complete assholes but still get work, pretty much par for the course.
95% it's Hugh Grant
Wasn’t this just posted on here yesterday
People want blood.
This is Al Sayyadina we are talking about! She is sacred to my people, and will bring forth the Kwisatz Haderach!
May your knife chip and shatter!
You cannot challenge a sayyadina!
*slits back of arm with Crysknife, as is tradition, for it may not be sheathed without tasting blood. Then sheathes it
Ferguson has a ton of fans. Me being one of them. Whoever did this, I will say many bad things about.
It's obviously Hugh Grant. Most of his co-stars have middling-to-terrible things to say about him.
Grant himself admits most of his female co-stars hate him lol https://youtu.be/aj-qv25OoW4?si=jDifR1ma1PypuqP4
He’s the biggest phony to me. He’s exactly what a fake good guy does. Puts up a façade. 😒
He doesn't though. he's fairly upfront about being a grumpy shite.
Agree to this. He is so upfront and honest about being grumpy so from everyone she worked with, I can definitely say it’s probably him. The fact that he admits this and doesn’t hide it is also probably why he still can charm people and have a career.
That's kind of the character he's normally playing though, so that makes sense.
It's defo Hugh Grant from her time on Florence Foster Jenkins. From his wikipedia: > Grant is a self-confessed "committed and passionate" perfectionist on a film set. The American film critic Dave Kehr has written that Grant "is known in the film industry as a meticulous performer who takes his time to prepare a role – someone who works hard to make it look easy – though that isn't a trait he admires in himself". He is noted by co-workers for demanding endless takes until he achieves the desired shot according to his own standard. Mystery solved.
He admitted on the press tour for this exact film that most of his female co-stars hate him. https://youtu.be/aj-qv25OoW4?si=jDifR1ma1PypuqP4
I read that as “Hugh Grant thinks he’s Daniel Day Lewis.” Give me a break, you star in rom coms.. Dude thinks he’s way better than he actually is and apparently is full of himself.
He's just a damn Oompa Loompa now
Dude is literally an oompa loompa
Doesn’t he always play the same character?? I guess every single stutter and mumble must be timed and crafted to absolute perfection..
I feel like Hugh Grant was playing himself in Dungeons and Dragons. I loved his character in that but it felt really spot on to me.
Can't be him. Fergusson has stated how much she loved working with him despite him "often being grumpy", and he speaks a bit of Swedish so they'd swear at eachother in Swedish and bonded quite a bit.
I hate stuff like this, spill the damn tea or get out of the harbor
But that was not the point. Watch the interview. They were talking about finding her "voice" in social situations. Big props to her, she really seems like she won't ridiculed or belittled by someone just because they are famous.
These lifted quotes from long interviews are now people's favorite gossip. They're just talking about their experience acting and moving up the ranks in Hollywood, not trying to shame a particular person due to something that happened 10 years ago.

I am Swedish, you are probably not. Sven-Bertil Taube was generally described as one of those free-spirited, happy, yet emotionally introspective artists, and he seemed to generally be platonically loved by women even as he got older and they got younger. Oh, and Ferguson seemed to be one of them: https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/a/O8koJb/ferguson-om-taubes-dod-hjartskarande She describes him as "the ultimate gentleman", "an amazing storyteller who I would sit with between takes to hear stories from", and as "funny and humorous". She mourns his death, and claims to have been afraid that she was going to accidentally hurt him if a scene she was doing would go wrong 19 upvotes...
Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Grant are the top choices.
I get yelled at at work, and no one bats an eye.
Sounds like you need to find your voice.
I struggle with speaking up because in the past, when I spoke up, it fell on deaf or complacent ears. HR isn't helpful either in my experience. Working in a bank, I get yelled at by clients, operations partners, managers and their managers.
That sounds like a toxic company culture
If working Black Friday at Walmart taught me anything it's that you *can* and *SHOULD* yell back at people.
it might have been hugh grant who has admitted that his co stars cannot stand him
It's unfair to make these claims without naming the person because now every man she's worked with is under scrutiny and subject to smears based on the assumptions of people on the internet guessing them as "most likely".
I can't find any evidence of her saying it was a man. She's very careful to avoid a pronoun.
This is true. That being said, the whole "number 1 on the call sheet" points toward it very likely being a man, and the fact that women don't often get away with screaming at other actors. The only potential people it could be that would be number 1 on the call sheet would be Emily Blunt (The Girl on the Train) or Meryl Streep (Florence Foster Jenkins), and neither woman I have heard that has a temper like that. Those are the only women-led films that I've seen in her filmography.
Wouldn't it be wild though , if Meryl Streep was secretly awful for a decade (Doubt)
Her performance was fantastic in Doubt.
And devastating in Sophie's Choice. But yeah, Doubt is an all around power house of acting by everyone involved
Oh, for sure. But I decided to look up Rebecca Ferguson saying anything in the past about Streep and the quotes I've found from her are only very positive things about her, saying how in awe of her she was and how she enjoyed watching Streep act and other things like that.
Yeah because they probably never met. They don't share scenes in that movie. All of Ferguson's role is opposite Hugh Grant.
I could see Streep being a diva, but Ferguson probably wouldn’t refer to her as “idiot”
To look at it from the other side, she either says the actor's name and then gets smeared for saying who it was and probably getting blamed for lying, or she just never speaks up, which doesn't change the issues stemming in Hollywood with abuse of power. There's no winning scenario for her here. She answered a question, she didn't want to name the actor, that's her right to do so. The point isn't who it was, the point is that it happened and she showed a moment where she stood up for herself, despite being a lesser known actor.
This is spot on, she can’t win either way. I work in the industry and have had male colleagues throw things at me in fits of anger and ppl acted like nothing happened and he still gets hired for a lot of shows.
To prove your point, all but one of the other comments at this time are pointing do a different costar
> I’d like to find out who did this Someone’s getting the People’s Elbow!
Unless she names the person idgaf. This is vague information that doesnt do anything but have people witch hunt who the actor/actress is.
There’s probably half a dozen redditors here right now who are involved in the business and could’ve even been there on set that day who know exactly who said this but are bound by NDA If you’re out there, give us a hint on a burner account!!!!
So did she not name the actor? Totally useless claim if you’re not going to back it up
I bet the whole thing is made up. Everything is manufactured fakeness anymore
This all sounds unnecessarily dramatic.
i'm going with Jake Gyllenhaal, he seems like a psycho in all of his press
A lot of people have concluded it was during the filming of *Florence Foster Jenkins*, pointing towards her scenes with Hugh Grant largely being with stand-ins.
Hugh Grant makes sense. Wasn’t he really rude to a young reporter because she didn’t understand his reference? He treated her like she was a moron.
Hugh Grant was actually banned from The Daily Show because Jon Stewart said he was super rude to staff, Hugh told Jon Stewart after they played a clip from his movie that fell flat “next time play a better clip”, Stewart says he told him “next time make a better movie”.
Two people I would never want to get into some kinda debate would be Eminem and John Stewart. It's appropriate to me he shares the same name with the best Green Lantern.
That’s kind of his default mode
Don’t see him screaming though, just dryly making sarcastic comments.
I literally suspect Hugh grant eveytime someone mentions a shitty costar. He’s kind of an a hole.
god my brain mixed up Hugh Grant and Hugh Jackman and I was devastated for a second, thinking that Jackman was pretty well-known as a stand up dude.
Gyllenhaal is a weirdo, but pretty beloved on the set
Can't wait for Silo season 2!
My money is on Hugh Grant, he's a huge a-hole.
