Third Actor Seems to Confirm He's Not the 'Idiot' Who Screamed at Rebecca Ferguson on Set

A story told by Dune‘s Rebecca Ferguson is going viral, and it involves her work with a past co-star who she called an “absolute idiot.”

She went on Reign with Josh Smith podcast, where she shared about her work with this anonymous co-star, “I remember there was a moment and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out. And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at. But because this person was number one on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me. So no one had my back. And I would cry walking off set.”

The co-star in question shared what they would say to her, including things like: “You call yourself an actor?” and “This is what I have to work with?” She recalled, “I stood there just breaking.”

She took matters into her own hands the next day, sharing, “The next day I walked on and I said, ‘You get off my set.’ It was the first time I’d ever spoken [back to that person]. I was so scared. And I looked at this person and said ‘You can f-ck off.’”

“I said, ‘The person can turn around and I can act to the back [of their] head.’ And I did. I have no problem using my voice and I’m not scared of the consequences of saying what I think,” she continued.

Rebecca herself clarified two actors who were NOT the actor in question, and another actor has come forward and seems to be confirming it wasn’t him.

30 Celebs Whose Private Jets Created Most CO2 Emissions in the Last Year Revealed (& Taylor Swift Didn't Even Make the List)

Amid Taylor Swift‘s legal battle against someone who is tracking her private plane’s every move, there has been a lot of discussion surrounding the celebs who use private jets the most.

Taylor seems to be the celebrity who gets blamed for CO2 emissions from flying on private planes, yet a new study reveals she’s not even in the Top 30 of celebs whose planes emit the most CO2.

MyClimate.org, an organization that allows everyday people to calculate their carbon footprint, has released a list of the celebs whose private jets allegedly emitted the most CO2 in 2003.

You might be surprised by some of the names on this list, but one thing to note is that the celebs themselves might not be responsible for all the flights. As Taylor‘s rep explained when she topped the list in 2022, her plane is often loaned out to other people, so she’s not the one taking all of those flights.
