15 Biggest Overreactions In The History Of Actor-Director Feuds

Tensions run high when actors and directors clash over how to create the best end product for you, the viewer. You try spending six hours in a makeup chair and then work 16 hours with a collection of egotistical jerks—often including your own boss. On top of that, you have no chemistry with the love interest, the bad guy keeps goading you on in real life, and the director is moodier than a Byronic poem.

Things are bound to boil over. Fistfights, stormouts, and chair-throwings are bound to happen. Art is a passionate place, and sometimes crazy things happen. And hey, on the bright side? Not many jobs exist where you can throw a chair at your boss and then have them sing your presses in the press. See, ultimately, it's all in service of the art. That precious, precious art.

So believe us! All the stuff on this list? They did it for YOU. 

I hope you're happy.
