\t\t\"Sean<\/p>\n

Sean Connery<\/a>, Diamonds Are Forever<\/p>\n

The late Sean Connery was not a fan of the overwhelming success and lasting legacy of his role as James Bond.<\/p>\n

\u201cBond was the role with which he became forever linked. It brought him the fame and the escape and, most importantly, the financial security he had always sought; whether it brought him deep satisfaction is open to interpretation. By the time of Diamonds are Forever he was so fed up with the money that he gave his fee to charity. \u2018I have always hated that damned James Bond,\u2019 he has said. \u2018I\u2019d like to kill him,\u2019\u201d The Guardian<\/a> reported in 2004.<\/p>\n

\"Jennifer<\/p>\n

Kristen Stewart<\/a>, Charlie\u2019s Angels, Happiest Season<\/p>\n

Kristen played a game of Know Your Lines, and when a line from the Charlie\u2019s Angels reboot came up, she said: \u201cI hated making that movie. I don\u2019t know what else to say to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, the three\u2026 you can\u2019t touch (that),\u201d she said of the previous movies before the reboot. \u201cCameron<\/a>, Lucy<\/a> and Drew<\/a>\u2026I love that movie. I love that movie. If that says anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0
She would later discuss her frustration<\/a> with her 2020 rom-com, Happiest Season, in an interview with Them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe identity was beaten out of my goals there. I was getting so many studio executive notes about my hair and my clothes. I was like, \u2018You did read the script. You did hire me. What are we doing here?\u2019 It was f-cking annoying. And it\u2019s fine, because I guess there are ways that you need to shroud things for everyone to easily digest. And I\u2019m down with that. And honestly, f-cking hats off to Clea [DuVall, director], because I don\u2019t have the patience [to do] that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
