10 Famous Actors Who Are Notoriously Difficult To Work With

2. Mike Myers

You could be forgiven for thinking that "a night out on the town with Mike Myers" might make for a great old time, but this costume-inclined funnyman has earned more of a reputation for going totally nuts on set, so maybe you should reconsider that drink, huh? I hear Keanu Reeves is nice.

Anyhow, Mike Myers has spent much of his career making everybody hate him. Though those who have worked close with the Austin Powers actor have cited him as a "genius," they've also called him "a moody, temperamental control freak." Ouch. So although you might associate Mike with classic catchphrases like "Yeah, baby, yeah," and, uh, "That'll do, Donkey - that'll do," he's about as egomaniacal as they come.

One guy even reported that he got fired for looking the actor in the eye whilst making Austin Powers. For the sake of this article, I hope that's true. At this point in time, Myers has succeeded in alienating absolutely everyone in Hollywood, anyway, which is why you haven't seen him in anything for the last few years. I think it's over for this once funny chap.

That'll do, Mike. That'll do.
