'Dune' star Rebecca Ferguson refused to work with 'idiot' co-star after meltdown: 'Get off my set'

Rebecca Ferguson, the Swedish star known for her roles in high-profile films, emphasizes a zero-tolerance policy for disrespect on set, regardless of one’s rank in the production hierarchy. Reflecting on her experience during the filming of “Dune: Part Two,” Ferguson recounted an incident with a high-profile actor who directed disparaging comments toward her. In a candid conversation with Josh Smith on the “Reign” podcast, she described an uncomfortable situation where her co-star, overwhelmed by insecurity and frustration, lashed out at her, leading to moments of vulnerability and tears off set.
Ferguson shared how this co-star’s behavior culminated in a public confrontation, where he questioned her professionalism in front of the crew, causing her to break down. However, she found the courage to stand up for herself the following day, decisively removing the individual from the set and opting to act opposite an inanimate object rather than tolerate further abuse.
Notably, Ferguson made it clear that her negative experiences were not with Tom Cruise, with whom she has shared the screen in multiple “Mission Impossible” films, nor with Hugh Jackman, another one of her esteemed colleagues. Her career, marked by collaborations with luminaries like Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant, Emily Blunt, Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, and Florence Pugh, underscores her standing as a respected figure in the film industry, advocating for professionalism and respect across all levels of production.

Wouldn’t put up with it either but I wouldn’t have acted with an inanimate object that’s ridiculous I would have communicated a home run with the “idiot” I would have been a hard ball they can only feel respect after that and that hurts lol
