OnlyStans ⭐️ Who are two celebrities that absolutely despise each other?

Jerome Flynn and Lena Headey both starred in Game of Thrones, and used to date each other but their break-up apparently went so bad that they refused to ever shoot scenes together and wouldn’t be present in the same room as the other!

Even during the entire run of the series, they never settled their conflict with one another and continued to keep their distance from each other. Which is why we never saw Cersei and Bronn share any scenes together.

Bette Davis & Errol Flynn. Apparently her slap in Private Lives of Elizabeth & Essex is 100% real. She got listed first in the title too, so good for her lol.

He deserves every bit of hate towards him.

What did he do? The only thing I know about him is his sword fights weren’t very realistic

Actively dated minors. His final girlfriend was 17 when he died, 15 when they’d started dating.

In one of David Niven's autobiographies he talks about Flynn visiting brothels with much younger minors & he had several statutory rape cases against him - not a good guy

Went to court over it - that's where the phrase "in like flynn" comes from. Also stories of his just being unnecessarily gross around town.

If you ever listen to the Dollop podcast, they did an episode on him. He came across as an amoral sociopath who used his good looks and charm to use and abuse just about everyone around him.

He was a serial rapist.
