It’s one thing for a director to criticise an actor they had a negative experience working with, but Quentin Tarantino hasn’t even crossed paths with most of the actors he’s voiced his disdain for over the years.
In fact, of the six he’s gone on record espousing his disdain for, only one of them has appeared in one of his movies. Most people in the industry would agree that it’s unprofessional for a filmmaker to shit all over someone they don’t know and haven’t collaborated with, but he clearly doesn’t care.
Tarantino has always been one of Hollywood’s most outspoken voices, but based on the reaction to his recent evisceration of a performer generally regarded as one of their generation’s most unsung talents, he’s finally crossed a line. Again, he won’t care because he’s Quentin Tarantino, but nobody should have been surprised when he issued a scathing assessment of a certain actor, since it wasn’t the first time.
There are no doubt even more thespians who’ve been belittled behind closed doors, but the following six stars all have one thing in common: the two-time Academy Award-winning auteur has made no bones about hating them with a passion.
