Pro tip: Don't scratch your butt on sacred rocks. Otherwise, you could go from being an A-lister to an A-hole in the eyes of fans! Tobey Maguire is an actor best known for his portrayal of Peter Parker in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" trilogy. However, it has been alleged that the web-slinging girlfriend he played in that

is nothing like who he is in real life. "Alright. Let's get to the heart of this." In the '90s, the actor was part of a group of young Hollywood singles who were famous for their romantic and partying activities. According to Molly Bloom, a woman who had come to host weekly private poker parties attended by members of that group, Maguire was supposed to be a defiant presence.

In her memoir "Molly's Game," she wrote: "Tobey was the worst tipper, the best player and the worst loser, but I had to worry about the security of my job if I lost." Bloom, a former cocktail waitress, reportedly took home up to $50,000 a night in her new role as Hollywood poker princess. When Maguire decided that she was making too much money, she attempted to humiliate her in front of all of her by ordering her to bark for a $1,000 chip. There have been other suggestions that Maguire is an idiot behind the scenes. In 2003, for example, Variety wrote that Jake Gyllenhaal was in talks to replace the actor in "Spider-Man 2" after Maguire allegedly displayed difficult behavior during pre-production.

Julia Roberts has worked as a successful actress almost non-stop since the late '80s. With such an impressive resume, it's hard to imagine her as anything less than a joy. Unfortunately, there are a few celebrities who can't stand Roberts and may have suggested otherwise. Her "I Love Trouble" co-star Nick Nolte is one of those people. In 1994, the Los Angeles Times reported on rumors that the couple did not get along on set and the lack of chemistry was obvious on screen. Everyone seemed ready to deny the rumors, but the co-stars seemed to make their true feelings clear during interviews.

Speaking to The New York Times, Roberts suggested that she actually found Nolte likable. However, she added: "He's also completely disgusting." Nolte defended herself to the Los Angeles Times, saying, "It's not nice to call someone 'disgusting.' But she's not a good person. Everyone knows that." The malice doesn't stop there. While

ing 1991's "Hook," the cast and crew reportedly nicknamed Roberts "Tinkerhell" due to his seemingly obnoxious behavior. This was said to include sitting in her trailer for hours at a time, according to Entertainment Weekly. However, the actor denied these accusations to the media. Still, Spielberg complained about the experience on "60 Minutes." While he praised her talent, he stated, "It was an unfortunate time for us to work together." Then, tellingly, he avoided answering a question about whether he would work with her again.

In 2019, it seemed like Shia LaBeouf was making a new name for himself in Hollywood. After producing and starring in some highly acclaimed independent films, the artist, actor and entertainer was cast in Olivia Wilde's "Don't Worry Darling." However, although scheduling conflicts had reportedly forced him to abandon the project, it was later revealed that he was actually abandoned, according to Variety. The outlet included accusations that the actor was difficult to work with, and Wilde confirmed the news to People, suggesting that she maintained a zero-tolerance approach toward bad behavior on set. She explained: "The no-assholes policy puts everyone on the same level." When singer FKA Twigs accused LaBeouf of sexual assault and battery, Wilde was one of many women to publicly show support for her.

Twigs filed an explosive lawsuit against the actor in 2020, citing verbal and physical abuse. LaBeouf's compensation for violence seemed to follow him into the professional world as well. The darker he became in private, the darker his characters seemed to become. Most notably, while working on the set of "Lawless," Mia Wasikowska was completely terrified by the actor's drinking process. Speaking to Page Six, the actor explained that he used moonshine to play her, claiming that he needed to look bloated enough to play the character. Her antics almost caused Wasikowska to leave the film. LaBeouf said: "She was calling her lawyer and saying, 'Get me out of here.' I was very aggressive about it." Jared Leto has made a big name for himself in Hollywood due to his extreme acting techniques.

In "Suicide Squad," that meant annoying his co-stars with horrible Joker-style gifts. Meanwhile, her "Requiem for a Dream" process was so radical that it was rumored to have nearly destroyed her relationship with Cameron Diaz in 2000. 22 years later, "Morbius" director Daniel Espinosa confirmed the rumors of that the Oscar-winning actor took the initiative again. a higher level by maintaining his character even when he goes to the bathroom. He told Uproxx that Leto initially used his character's crutches to limp to the bathroom. When this took too long, he arranged for himself a wheelchair, along with someone to push Leto in it.

Espinosa remained philosophical about the star's decision, stating, "Hey, man, it's people's processes." Leto also has a history of being a jerk to journalists. In a 2016 Rolling Stone interview with Brian Hiatt, the actor took the journalist down a dangerous trail filled with uneven terrain. When it became impossible to walk safely, he told Hiatt that he was just playing with him before leading them down a more reasonable path. Meanwhile, in a 2013 interview with The Telegraph, the actor repeatedly and emphatically pretended not to know what "My So Called Life," the TV show that launched his career, is. After the frustrating exchange, journalist Emma Forrest wrote: "Either you write off Jared Leto as a huge jerk, I realize, or you move on." In 2013, Star magazine named actress Gwyneth Paltrow the most hated celebrity in the world.

Despite her successful film career, the "Goop" founder has cultivated a bad reputation apparently based on her eccentric choices and her apparent ignorance of her own privilege. Paltrow has long irritated people with insensitive comments, such as when she told Conan O'Brien, "I'd rather die than let my son have a cup of soup." Additionally, she is known for making inappropriate and ambiguous comments that do not show her in her best light. In 2019, for example, Vulture noted that the star had told the same anecdote in three different posts in which she essentially credited herself for the popularity of yoga.

Meanwhile, in 2006, she shared her surprise at seeing that great actors like Reese Witherspoon were wasting her talents on mediocre projects. She told The Guardian: "You think, 'Why is he making these stupid romantic comedies?' But of course it's about money and status." Speaking of money, Paltrow often insists that she made her fortune herself, even though her father was a television producer and her mother was an actress. She has maintained that she did not accept a cent from her parents, telling The Independent: "You are completely alone." So he never gave me anything... he never helped me with rent, I never had a trust fund." Terrence Howard's reputation for being a jerk goes back decades.

In 2007, for example, he raised eyebrows during an interview with Elle when she offered her strange insight into the essential requirements of feminine hygiene. Her personal life has been plagued by drama and accusations of assault, but her professional life hasn't fared much better. "I have a little story of my own. It's called Jerk and the Beanstalk." When Don Cheadle replaced him in "Iron Man 2," Entertainment Weekly reported a rumor that it was due to Howard's difficult behavior behind the scenes of the first film. The outlet noted that there may have also been a dispute over the star's salary, a rumor apparently dispelled by Marvel Studios, according to the New York Post.

A source alleged to the outlet that Howard has had problems with his temper and explained: "Terrence has to be in control of everything, everything. time. When you don't get your way, you lose your mind very easily." However, the actor has suggested that he has unfairly earned a reputation for being difficult simply because he didn't live up to expectations. He told Rolling Stone in 2015: "I get all this praise, but now they've found out that Terrence is difficult, and that's followed me." Tom Cruise is famous for his roles in "Top Gun," "Jerry Maguire" and "Eyes Wide Shut." But throughout his stay in Hollywood, he has earned a reputation for being difficult to work with Two decades after starring alongside him in the 2000 action film "Mission: Impossible II," Thandiwe Newton told Vulture that the Hollywood legend had a lot to say. what to deal with during filming.

She explained: "I was very afraid of Tom. He was a very dominant individual. He tries very hard to be a good person. But the pressure. He takes on a lot. And I think he has the feeling that only he can do it. "All the best that can be done." Former Scientologist Leah Remini praised Newton for his comments. She even accused the Church of Scientology of controlling Cruise's public image and told The Daily Beast that his public relations machine had honed his good-guy persona. Remini added: "But if you really look at his actions, they're not consistent." In 2020, Cruise sparked controversy when audio clips from the set of "Mission: Impossible 7" appeared to capture him explicitly berating crew members for breaking Covid-19 protocols.

Although his outburst went viral, he assured Empire magazine that he has no regrets about how much the pandemic had postponed production. As he explained, he "was thinking about the people he worked with and my industry." Jennifer Lawrence rose to fame in the 2010s for her quirky personality and roles in box office hits like "The Hunger Games" and "The Bright Side." With her notable propensity for red carpet falls, the star seemed relatable and down-to-earth. However, her star power has noticeably diminished since then. Her downfall may have started in 2016, when she made some insensitive comments during an appearance on "The Graham Norton Show." Sharing an anecdote about filming "The Hunger Games" in Hawaii, the star chuckled as she described being deliberately disrespectful to some of the island's sacred rocks.

She explained that she was prohibited from sitting on the rocks and then said, "I, however, was in a wetsuit for this entire session, so..." "Then it doesn't count, does it?" "OMG, they were so good for my itchy butt!" According to Daily Mail, the backlash was swift and fierce, forcing Lawrence to apologize via Facebook. She said she intended the story to be self-deprecating rather than offensive. In addition to desecrating shrines, Lawrence can apparently also be notoriously nasty to fans. While speaking with Adam Sandler for Variety, the actor confessed: "Once I go into a public place I become incredibly rude, I become a huge asshole." The reason, she claimed, was a defense mechanism to help maintain privacy.

So if you're a fan and hoping to take a selfie with the star in the near future, you're probably out of luck.
