Fox once called a director Hitler, and Hathaway didn't want to star in a childbirth scene: 5 celebrities who were fired

In February 2021, the network was shocked by the news that the American actress and Thai boxer Gina Carano had been fired from the Mandalorian series (part of the canonical Star Wars universe). In the first two seasons, she played the role of Cara Dune, a former Rebel Alliance stormtrooper. Lucasfilm decided to terminate the contract with the celebrity after she compared the political climate in the United States to the Holocaust on Instagram.

There are many more stories in the cinema where actors lost their jobs because of differences with directors. Read more in the OBOZREVATEL article.

1. Megan Fox

American actress and model Megan Fox had a fight with director Michael Bay while filming Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. The latter demanded that the movie star gain 4 kilograms of weight and get a tan to make her more suitable for her character, Carly. Megan didn't like this, so she called the director Hitler and said that working with him was terrible. After the scandal, she was fired. The role was given to supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

2. Anne Hathaway

As soon as the filming of the movie Knocked Up began, the American actress and singer Anne Hathaway had a fight with the director and left the set. The celebrity found out that she would have to act in a childbirth scene, and they wanted to show the process quite realistically. "I think that such physiological details are unnecessary in the movie. The story could be told without them," Hathaway said in an interview. So the role went to American actress Katherine Heigl.

3. Ryan Gosling

Canadian film actor Ryan Gosling was fired before the filming of the drama The Lovely Bones began. He was supposed to play the main character's father. In preparation for the role of Jack Salmon, the man grew a beard and gained 27 kilograms. He believed that this is how his character should look like. When he came to the set, the director of the film, Peter Jackson, was surprised and said that Jack should be slimmer. Thus, Ryan was replaced by an American actor Mark Wahlberg.

4. Robert Downey Jr.

American actor, producer and musician Robert Downey Jr. was fired from filming the comedy-drama series Ally McBeal. The reason was that the movie star was arrested on suspicion of drug use. When the director found out about it, the conversation was short.

5. Kevin Spacey

American theater and film actor Kevin Spacey played Paul Getty in Ridley Scott's thriller All the Money in the World (2017). But after filming was over, his role was given to Canadian actor Christopher Plummer. It was all because of a sex scandal, after which Kevin's career suffered significantly. The man was accused of sexual harassment and violence, after which Ridley decided to reshoot all the scenes with Spacey, but with another actor.

It should be noted that in 2022, the court acquitted Kevin in the harassment case. The jury decided that the accusations against the actor were groundless and found him not guilty.
