10 Actors Who Hated Working On Their Own Movies
7. Tim Roth - United Passions
All of us have done things we don’t especially want to do for money, but few of us have ended up shilling for a corrupt sporting official. A job’s a job, but his role as deposed FIFA president Sepp Blatter in excerable hagiography United Passions is a resume lowlight for Tim Roth.
Roth stated in a 2015 interview that he was in a “financial hole” when he took the role, and has done everything he can to distance himself from the inevitable fallout. He is yet to see the film (which is true for most people), and offered an apology for having anything to do with the whole mess. He went so far as to say that his father would be “turning in his grave” for his having anything to do with glorifying a man like Blatter.
United Passions’ box office receipts must have been music to Roth’s ears - it didn’t even clear the $200,000 mark. Hopefully the work managed to ease his monetary worries, because he won’t be wanting to do something as shameful as this again.
