11 Real Life People Who Hated The Movie Version Of Themselves

11. Julian Assange, Fifth Estate

Everybody has their personal opinion on whether whistleblower Julian Assange is a good guy or an evil mastermind straight out of a James Bond movie. As a result, it always going to be difficult to make a movie about him although that didn't stop DreamWorks pictures from trying.

Kudos to Benedict Cumberbatch who somehow managed to embody the equally odd-looking Assange and turn out a pretty decent performance. Sadly, Julian Assange himself was less than impressed and called the movie a "massive propaganda attack."

The worst thing about it, according to Assange, was that nobody had the decency to contact him about the facts, including the man who was playing him. Assange then went on to attack the movie even further calling it, "fiction masquerading as fact" and "a project that vilifies and marginalizes a living political refugee for the benefit of an entrenched, corrupt, and dangerous state."

As you would expect, Wikileaks also hated the idea of a Hollywood composed Assange biopic and managed to get their hands on the script before its release. And what did they do with it? Leaked it of course!
