8 Legendary Duos Who Hated Each Other's Guts

2. Anthony Daniels & R2-D2

Rarely caught apart for the duration of most Star Wars films, these two droid pals are a major reason so many kids became engrossed in the universe George Lucas created (that and all those scenes where people fight each other with laser swords). Their misadventures often led to hilarious misunderstandings, and those misunderstandings positioned C-3PO and R2-D2 as the odd couple comic relief of the franchise.

But as adorable and lighthearted as their onscreen bickering was, the arguments they had when the metal suits were removed weren't nearly as charming. Because, as it turns out, the two actors who play Threepio and R2 (Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker, respectively) haven't exactly been the best of friends behind the scenes. Baker has called his taller sidekick "the rudest man I've ever met," saying Daniels often refers to the 3ft. 8in. actor as "little man" because he knows it gets under his skin. Daniels, in turn, has accused Baker as being uninvolved in a good chunk of the actual filming, saying Baker is rarely on set and that his name appears in the credits as "a good luck charm" or "a courtesy."

This passive aggressive droid feud dates back to an occurrence the two had on set many moons ago, when Baker claims he went up to say hello to his costar, only to be shot down by Daniels turned his back on him and chided, "Can't you see I'm having a conversation?" It's clear from both of the actors' many, many negative stories about each other that they're not good friends.
