This Dune 2 actress does not hesitate to denounce the behavior of a colleague

Highly anticipated by all science fiction fans, the second opus of the saga Dune was finally released in cinemas yesterday. After a long period of patience and a few weeks after the first screenings for the press, it is finally time for spectators to discover the continuation of the adventures of Paul Atréides. As with every film produced with such a big budget, the release of Dune 2 is obviously accompanied by a whole promotional campaign during which the actors and actresses tour the sets to talk about the film or their careers. Among them is the actress Rebecca Ferguson which has been in the news for several days. Indeed, while she has played with a huge number of famous actors throughout her career, the one who plays Dame Jessica in Denis Villeneuve’s film recently revealed on the Reign With Josh Smith podcast that she remembers a particularly horrible experience with a very specific actor.

Around the third of the interview (at timecode 7:20 to be precise), Rebecca Ferguson admits to having already worked with “absolutely stupid actor” in his career who yelled at him because he couldn’t play properly. He would then tell her things like “you call yourself an actress, that’s what I’m supposed to play with” in front of the entire film crew. Still according to her, this actor was particularly influential at the time of the filming in question, which prevented it from being defended by the rest of the studio. Result : the actress burst into tears as she ended her daysuntil she manages to find the courage to confront him anddemand that he leave the film set. She then preferred to play “in front of a tennis ball” only in front of him, and did not want to see him anymore.

Of course, the producers then intervened to tell Rebecca Ferguson that she couldn’t say that to an actor like that, and that it was essential that he continue shooting for the film they were making anyway. to realise. The actress, however, kept a cool head and demanded that he turn his back on her during each dialogue so that she would not see him during filming (something possible for each shot/reverse shot of the film). Although traumatic for the actress, Ferguson remembers this experience as one of the first moments where she managed to make herself heard in the face of an absolutely unfair situation.

A few fewer names on the list of suspects

Obviously, even if Rebecca Ferguson did not want to reveal the name of the actor in question, it didn’t take long before many people put on their FBI hats to lead the investigation. It must be said that she worked with a lot of famous actors during her career, some of whose names are still very influential today and could very well correspond to the description of the events. Among them, we note for example Tom Cruise, Hugh Jackman, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Fassbender, Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Grant, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ewan McGregor, Oscar Isaac or even Ryan Reynolds.

Because yes, even if we used the masculine in this article, the actress is careful not to reveal the gender of the person in question always using the term “human being” to designate it. Among all the names that we have just mentioned, Rebecca Ferguson herself wanted to remove two of them sinceshe assures in this same interview that it is neither Tom Cruise nor Hugh Jackman. On their side, Dwayne Johnson And Emily Blunt both spoke out to confirm their support and friendship with the actress quickly after this interview was published, the first via a response directly on Twitter and the second via the Daily Mail. In short, it is of course impossible to know with certainty who Rebecca Ferguson was talking about during her interview, but there is no doubt that everyone will have their own theory.
