6. Anthony Daniels Was Rude To Kenny Baker - Star Wars
Despite their standing as cinema's best robot pals in C-3PO and R2-D2, the real life camaraderie shared between the likes of Star Wars actors Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker is sorely lacking. In fact, the pair are known for the fact that they can't stand the sight of one another - a consequence of what Baker believes to be some subtle bullying. The tension is a result of their differing acting styles, apparently: Daniels is classically trained, whilst Baker got his start working in cabaret. This created a lot of conflict on set, but the evidence does seem to point towards Daniels' inherent dislike of Baker as a person. Speaking of their last meeting, Baker said:
"The last time I spoke to him was in Boston and he was in front of me. I said 'Did you have a nice weekend Tony?' He said 'Im having a conversation,' and walked away. He wasnt talking to anybody. I could have hit him.
Unlike C-3PO and R2-D2, then, it doesn't seem as thought this bickering pair are secretly fond of one another - and yet they're both set to appear in upcoming sequel Star Wars: The Force Awakens, so maybe everybody's favourite metallic duo can finally bury the hatchet?
