Celeb Co-Stars Who Had Ugly Fights On Set
Although Hollywood is the land of opportunities, it isn’t always all fun and games. There are many parts to this industry that still get ugly. But when you have people willing to stoop down to that level to bring someone else down, it’s hard not to notice. At some points, personalities may be too different to mesh well together. Apparently, we’re not often able to witness what goes on behind the scenes because these kinds of disputes usually escalate very quickly and turn physical in a matter of seconds. With that being said, these are the 5 celeb co-stars who had ugly fights on the movie set –
Val Kilmer And Tom Sizemore: Red Planet
This sci-fi film was directed by Anthony Hoffman, who preferred to use the same set for most of the film despite any weather or light obstacles thrown into his path. Although Tom Sizemore and Val Kilmer are known for feuding in their careers, they both agreed that working on Red Planet together would be a number one priority over any potential issues between them. However, during filming, Sizemore became frustrated by Kilmer’s desire for his scenes to be meticulously perfect. And when he discovered that the lead actor had requested a piece of exercise equipment to be shipped out to the location, he lost it.

Lucy Liu And Bill Murray: Charlie’s Angels
The original Charlie’s Angels movie was released in 2000 and starred Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Bill Murray. Originally Bill Murray was supposed to star as John Bosley but eventually, he got replaced by Bernie Mac in the sequel. The day that filming had taken place was not a good one for Bill. While approaching Lucy inside of her dressing room, he bluntly informed her that she could not act. This sent Lucy into a rage and she reportedly turned around and hit him several times with such force that all of the set’s extras who stood nearby were convinced they could hear his teeth rattling in their sockets.
Rob Lowe And Tom Cruise: The Outsiders
The Outsiders is a coming-of-age film that was directed by John Warnke in 1983. It starred big-time actors such as Tom Cruise, who was on the road to mega-stardom, and Rob Lowe who at the time was one of the biggest young actors around.

Jamie Foxx And LL Cool J: Any Given Sunday
LL Cool J and Jamie Foxx had a major confrontation during the filming of Any Given Sunday. While they played teammates in 1999’s football drama, LL Cool J and Jamie Foxx seemed to take their onscreen partnership too seriously. They almost became opponents when it came time to perform the shoving scene at the end of the film. The actors were supposed to push each other down onto a pile of sand while trying to block their opponent from scoring a goal, but it didn’t work out quite that way but the opposite.
Normal Mailer And Rip Torn: Maidstone
The 1964 film Maidstone was directed, produced, written, and starred in by Norman Mailer. It featured Rip Torn as a villain who eventually wound up becoming the screen’s most famous caricature of a bad guy. As the film became more and more violent, the two stars that were usually at each other’s throats wound up taking it to a whole new level – literally. As they accused each other of lying, Torn suddenly pulled out a hammer from his pocket and struck Mailer on the head with it.
