Sharon Stone

Stone is known to throw fits like a 12 year old girl if she does not get what she wants on film sets. During the filming of A Golden Boy, she repeatedly left the shoot to go on shopping trips using the production credit card.

Russell Crowe

Russell Crowe has reportedly a legendarily bad temper. he would regularly shout at his scrip-writers, abusing them in phone calls while discussing the story.

Edward Norton

Norton has a habit of hindering the movie’s creative process. He regularly asks the Directors to have final say in post production. It was his insistence on editing The Incredible Hulk that led to Marvel Studios distancing themselves from The Fight Club star.

Gwyneth Paltrow

It seems like Paltrow suffers from a massive inferiority complex. Any actor who threatens her monopoly in a film or even slightly overshadows her character, Gwyneth Paltrow goes out of her way to avoid and ridicule them. During the filming of Iron Man 2, Paltrow never ever spoke to Scarlett Johansson. She did that in a lot of other movie projects. Most actors in the industry hate her and refuse to work with her.
