10 Actors Who Publicly Hated Their Own Films

3. George Clooney - Batman & Robin

Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin has been described as one of the worst films of all time by some and the very worst by others, and most everyone seems to accept it's a dreadful piece of cinema. Not including the film's Mr Freeze, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who in a 2012 interview with Empire said he had no regrets at all about making the movie. Instead, Schwarzenegger left the hating up to another Batman & Robin star: Batman himself, George Clooney, who since starring in the film in 1997 has had nothing but hilariously frank things to say about it. Fact is that he's been apologising for the film - which Clooney called "really sh*t" in a 2011 Total Film interview - ever since. In 2002 Clooney told the New York Times that Batman & Robin was "a waste of money", said at a 2013 Gravity press junket that he "destroyed the part", while last year - 17 years after the film was made - he was at Comic-Con apologising to Adam West for the film. Even now he's not been able to let go, evidenced by his opening up on The Graham Norton Show last month and declaring, "I actually thought I€™d destroyed the franchise".
