10 Most Insane Confrontations Between Actors And Directors

4. David O Russell vs Lily Tomlin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Qls1rAfYs Easily the most entertaining moment of the massively crappy I Heart Huckabees comes from two secretly filmed behind-the-scenes moments. The two videos of the spat available display meltdowns on both sides. In the first video, shot in some sort of classroom, Tomlin is struggling to get to grips with what David O' Russell is asking of her; the video cuts and we see a biblical meltdown from the director; he throws paper around, storms in and out of the set like a child and calls her all the names under the sun, including the C-word. The second video - set in a car - includes a moment of Tomlin telling Dustin Hoffman to go f**k himself and clearly cracking under the pressure of not knowing what the Hell the film she is working on is about and what is expected of her. I have to say, after seeing the film, she isn't the only one. Who Won? While Tomlin might come across as a little bit like hard work in the two videos, no 65-year old woman deserves to be called that word. But she apparently has forgiven O' Russell for his antics, stating that it is "in the past" and putting the outbursts down to the film not being an easy to make - nor to watch, Lily.

Shaun does not enjoy writing about himself in the third person. The rest? I will tell you in another life, when we are both cats...
