10 Popular Movie Casts That Hate Each Other

10. Magic Mike

Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike tells the story of Adam, a young college dropout played by Alex Pettyfer, making his way in the world of male stripping under the mentorship and occasional rivalry of Channing Tatum as the title character. But by the sequel, Pettyfer's Adam was nowhere to be seen.

Former teen heartthrob Pettyfer already had a bit of a reputation as egotistical, difficult to work with and destructive. Tatum, therefore, was not keen on Pettyfer’s casting and made that well known even after Soderbergh insisted on it.

On the set of Magic Mike, Pettyfer mostly kept to himself without socialising with his castmates, making him seem aloof and superior but not causing any major falling out. Between production and reshoots, however, Pettyfer and Tatum had a serious falling out after the former rented a New York apartment from a friend of the latter.

Pettyfer claimed that the apartment was infested with mould and moved out, still owing months of rent, leading Tatum reportedly to tell him: “Don’t f**k my friends. Pay the f**king money. Don’t be a clown.”

The reshoots were a tense affair, with the cast siding with Tatum against Pettyfer, who was essentially frozen out. With Tatum a producer on the sequel and Pettyfer’s original champion Soderbergh no longer in the director’s chair, Pettyfer was not asked back for Magic Mike XXL.

“Channing Tatum does not like me for many reasons,” Pettyfer would later confirm, “Many of them being my own fault.”
