3. Josh Brolin & Jeffrey Wright

It seems Josh Brolin definitely has the temperament to play the mad titan Thanos after it emerged that he, along with costar Jeffrey Wright, were involved in a bar fight whilst filming Oliver Stone's Bush biopic W in 2008.

During production of the movie, Brolin and Wright were out drinking with other cast and crew members when a police call was issued out to help with a reported disturbance in Shreveport, in Louisiana's Stray Cat Bar. Once the police arrived on the scene, Brolin and Wright attempted to stop the officers getting involved in the brawl, on behalf of a crew member being accused of creating the drunken disturbance. This led to the two of them being charged with interfering with police.

Brolin was released shortly after and this particular incident didn't appear to impact filming however it is not the first time he's had a brush with the police. He was previously arrested in 2004 for spousal battery after now ex-wife Diane Lane phoned police to report that he'd hit her.

In that scenario, Lane opted against pressing charges and Brolin was released after paying the $20,000 bail. He also went on to be arrested once more for public intoxication and an altercations with a taxi driver and a bouncer in Santa Monica.
