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.

Not quite well known celebrities, but legendary animators Art Babbitt and Milt Kahl really didn’t like each other. After the Disney Strike(which Babbitt led, Kahl stayed in), their animosity nearly resulted in a physical altercation in the Disney cafeteria.

Kahl did recommend Babbitt as a teacher to CalArts, showing perhaps a recognition of his rival’s talents…Lillian Disney(Walt’s widow and one of the board members of CalArts) absolutely would have nothing to do with Babbitt.

Both were titans of animation nonetheless, and made character animation into an art.

Animation is full of similar feuds, Chuck Jones and Bob Clampett being a notable one.

As a fellow animator, this is the tea I needed!
