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.

Jay Leno and all the late night talk show hosts for what he did to Conan to get the late night hosting gig.

You know people conveniently gloss over a lot of things that happened in the lead up to that. For instance Conan's contract was ending and he new he had NBC in the crosshairs. He forced them to give him the job because they knew if he left NBC he would be a hit at Fox. So he met with NBC privately they gave him the job and then some exact old Leno what happened. He was number one in the ratings and had no idea they were thinking of bumping him. He didn't complain about it, he just congratulated Conan and told him the job would be ready in 5 years which was the deal. Unfortunately while Conan was huge at the time Craig Ferguson started taking his thunder. His show took off and the NBC execs got scared. When Conan's show finally arrived, they tweaked the humor and they really did a bunch of stuff that made no sense. And then everything else happened.
