10 Directors Who Drove Their Movie Stars To The Edge

10. David Fincher And Ben Affleck - Gone Girl

Anyone who saw Ben Affleck go off on a baffled Sam Harris back in 2014 knows the Hollywood actor has a temper and is not afraid to use it. Pair that with a typically demanding and full-on director like, say, David Fincher, and you've got a gasket ready to blow.

But while plenty of the actor's lowest moments have become prime memeable content, some of his wildest reactions have managed to fly under the radar -- namely his ludicrous behaviour on the set of Fincher's 2014 thriller Gone Girl. Thanks to the director's commentary, however, we know that it wasn't all sunshine and light on set.

Affleck walked off the set after Fincher tried to force him to wear a Yankees baseball cap for a scene. This shut production down for four whole days while the hot-headed actor and dedicated Boston Red Sox fan stewed over the perceived slight, and Fincher negotiated with the actor's manager on the cap design. Considering Fincher's penchant for perfection, rarely going fewer than double digits on every take, it's surprising this was the thing that tipped his star over the edge.
