    Julia Roberts: Steven Spielberg was asked on 60 Minutes if he'd ever work with Julia Roberts again after 1991's Hook. In a soft voice, the director said, "No". From all reports, Roberts was an emotional wreck on the set of the fantasy film, having just called off her engagement to Kiefer Sutherland four days before their wedding. Roberts was such a nightmare on set that the crew nicknamed her "Tinkerhell".

    Bruce Willis: According to director Kevin Smith, working with Bruce Willis on 2010 flop Cop Out was "f**king soul crushing". In his book, Smith wrote, "He turned out to be the unhappiest, most bitter and meanest emo-b***h I ever met at any job I've held. And mind you, I worked at Domino's".

    Sean Young: The actor was cast as Kate Gekko (Michael Douglas' character's wife) in the 1987 movie, Wall Street, but it wasn't the role she wanted. After filming started, Young kept pleading with director Oliver Stone to give her the much larger role of Gekko's girlfriend, which was played by Daryl Hannah. The director was so frustrated by her unprofessional behaviour that he changed the script and cut most of Young's lines.

    Val Kilmer: There's quite a few directors who refuse to work with Val. The notoriously difficult star bullied director Richard Stanley on the set of 1994's The Island of Dr. Moreau. To keep the actor happy, the studio fired Stanley after just three days. Stanley was replaced by fellow director John Frankenheimer, who also clashed with the diva actor. "I don't like Val Kilmer, I don't like his work ethic, and I don't want to be associated with him ever again," Frankenheimer said to EW.

    Faye Dunaway: Director Roman Polanski had several heated clashes with Dunaway when making Chinatown in 1974. It's reported Dunaway even threw a cup of her own urine in the director's face. Polanski revealed to Rolling Stone, "working with Faye, I might eventually have actually questioned my own methods had I not known that she has had the same confrontations with all her directors, and gained the reputation as a gigantic pain-in-the-ass," he said.
