1. Gene Hackman Bullied Everyone (Including Wes Anderson) - The Royal Tenenbaums
There's no denying that Gene Hackman has had a great and memorable film career, having appeared in some of the most iconic motion pictures of all-time, including The French Connection, Unforgiven, Superman, The Poseidon Adventure and The Royal Tenenbaums - which contains what is arguably his greatest ever performance. Despite that, though, Hackman reportedly caused a lot of trouble on the set of Wes Anderson's third movie, and spent most of his time between takes generally making everybody feel intimidated and uncomfortable - including the director. As co-star Angelica Huston tells it: "I was a lot scared but I was more concerned with protecting Wes," she said, before also adding that Hackman told Anderson to "pull up pants and act like a man" - which just isn't very nice, isn't it? Anderson himself also revealed that - on one notable occasion - the actor called him a "c*nt." Gwyneth Paltrow, who also appears in the film, also reported to have been afraid of Hackman. As a result, Anderson often opted to bring Bill Murray onto the set to keep things calm, because he had no fear when it came to a grouchy Hackman. Apparently Murray would stand from afar wearing a cowboy hat, looking on just to make sure things were okay. Which might just well have been the coolest thing to have ever happened.
