Ben Affleck, Daredevil
Ben said that Daredevil is the only movie he regrets.
“The only movie I actually regret is Daredevil. It just kills me. I love that story, that character, and the fact that it got f—d up the way it did stays with me. Maybe that’s part of the motivation to do Batman,” he explained to Playboy.
Viola Davis, The Help
Viola looked back on the role and reconsidered the film’s perspective.
“Have I ever done roles that I’ve regretted? I have, and The Help is on that list. I want to know what it feels like to work for white people and to bring up children in 1963, I want to hear how you really feel about it. I never heard that in the course of the movie,” she told The New York Times in 2018.
“There’s no one who’s not entertained by The Help, but there’s a part of me that feels like I betrayed myself, and my people, because I was in a movie that wasn’t ready to [tell the whole truth],” she added.
Katherine Heigl, Knocked Up
Katherine looked back on the film and took issue with its presentation of women.
“It was a little sexist. It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, on some days. I’m playing such a bitch; why is she being such a killjoy? Why is this how you’re portraying women? Ninety-eight percent of the time it was an amazing experience, but it was hard for me to love the movie,” she told Vanity Fair in 2008.
Sylvester Stallone, Stop, Or My Mom Will Shoot
Sylvester has very harsh feelings about the film.
“The worst film I’ve ever made by far…maybe one of the worst films in the entire solar system, including alien productions we’ve never seen…a flatworm could write a better script,” he hilariously said to Ain’t It Cool News.
