10 Famous Actors Who Are Notoriously Difficult To Work With

5. Dustin Hoffman

For a long, long time, Dustin Hoffman was known in Hollywood as somebody you'd hire if you wanted to pursue a "difficult working relationship." And Hoffman, who has assembled one of the most impressive careers in Hollywood history, isn't really bothered by that reputation.

He fact, he's admitted that he thinks it holds some truth. Fact is, Hoffman's "difficult" rep came not from any diva-ish outbursts, but as a result of the dedication he would hold to each and every role, to the point at which it became irritating for those working around him. "Difficult? Or meticulous?

Maybe they are one in the same," he once said in an interview when questioned about his on-set manner. Hoffman's most famous meltdown came on the set of Sydney Pollack's Tootise, of course, which is a movie about a man who dresses up as a woman and goes on television and stuff, when actor and director clashed over who had the most creative control. So, yeah, don't let that Rain Man act fool you: this guy is capable of giving you a seriously hard time.
