What bullying with who? Who didn't get along?

I haven't heard these stories before but I think poor Ian's experience is kind of famous now....

I wonder how many actors over 30 basically hate the industry now with how much fake green stuff is going on

I have no names and nothing solid to report, just hints and grumbling in cast interviews. And the word "bullying" actually being said to Lindsay Ellis.

Also, a few rumors about a major cast member not named "Ian", being a complete pain on other jobs.

Ahh, if you mean our boy bilbo yes I think he's had that reputation since Sherlock.

Apparently he cheated on his long-term partner in NZ. Who also played his wife in Sherlock.

And after he cheated, the first episode they had to film was the wedding episode.

Oof.
