5 Celebrity Feuds That Ended in Actors Refusing to Work Together Again

Wesley Snipes and Ryan Reynolds Actor Ryan Reynolds says he won’t work with Wesley Snipes anymore because of his experience while filming Blade: Trinity (2004) with the actor. Snipes “wouldn’t come out of his trailer and he would smoke weed all day,” Reynolds claims. As a result, Reynolds did most of the scenes for the movie with Snipes’ stunt double. Snipes reportedly only left his trailer to do close-up scenes. James Franco and Tyrese Gibson Singer and actor Tyrese Gibson says he doesn't want to work with actor James Franco again because he was vulgar and took unnecessary actions during their scenes together. For example, Gibson said while the two were filming their 2006 movie Annapolis, Franco was crude on set and hit him full on when they practiced boxing scenes. Franco said it was all part of not breaking character and being a method actor. Terrence Howard and Robert Downey Jr. Actor Terrence Howard reportedly refuses to work with his former costar Robert Downey Jr. again. After Howard and Downey worked together in the first Iron Man film, producers reportedly only offered Howard one-eighth of the paycheck they promised him for the sequel. Howard blamed Downey’s pay raise, which he claims was so high that there wasn’t enough left to pay Howard his normal rate. Howard reportedly tried to call Downey regarding the issue, but the actor did not respond to Howard’s multiple attempts to contact him. Actor Don Cheadle replaced Howard in the sequels. Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell In 1996, Tisha Campbell, who played Gina on the Fox network sitcom, Martin (1992-1997), filed a lawsuit against star Martin Lawrence and the show’s producers for sexual harassment and verbal and physical assault. Campbell returned to the series, but only after wresting an unusual agreement from producers: Whenever she was taping scenes, Lawrence would not be allowed on the set of his own show. On a recent appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, Tichina Arnold, who played Pam on the show, talked about the lawsuit and how the conflict has affected the possibility of a Martin reunion. Arnold said, "The lawsuit was a very interesting thing to be a part of. Tisha and I have been friends since childhood, and Martin and I are still friends. There’s a point where you have to be professional and a point where you have to be personal, and I was very well aware of separating the two, and Tisha always respected that. It was very weird, but I handled it as best I could." LL Cool J and Jamie Foxx Actor Jamie Foxx had issues with LL Cool J while filming the movie Any Given Sunday (1999), and said he refuses to work with him again. While the two were filming a fight scene, LL Cool J reportedly kept hitting Foxx long after the director said, “cut.” After the scene, Foxx called the police and filed assault charges against the rapper-actor. LL told police he was a method actor who didn't want to break character: “It wasn’t Jamie and I fighting. It was our characters.” The two have since worked out their issues. No charges were filed against LL by police.
