12 Best Old School Hollywood Feuds
12. Anthony Daniels Vs. Kenny Baker
As droid duo C-3PO and R2-D2, Anthony
Daniels and Kenny Baker gave us one of the most iconic pairings cinema screens
have ever seen, starring together in all of the seven Star Wars films that have
been released so far.
On-screen the articulate android and bleeping bot may have bickered constantly but it was obvious that beneath the petty squabbling the pair were firm friends. Unfortunately, that camaraderie didn’t carry over behind the scenes.
Since they first starred together in Star Wars back in 1977 the two have made several barbed comments about each other in various interviews with Baker blaming his co-star’s awkward, rude and snobbish behaviour towards him and other cast members as the root of their feud while Daniels once said of Baker’s most famous role, “He might as well be a bucket”.
Sadly, Baker died last year so any chance of burying the hatchet via The Last Jedi never came to be.
