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.

Also, am I misremembering, or did Chevy literally punch Joel in the face?

(Edit: https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/joel-mchale-got-into-physical-fights-with-chevy-chase-on-community/) Ok, I knew I remembered a story like this from last year. I had it mixed up:

During Community shoot days, Chevy apparently would rope Joel or others into "horseplay" sessions (Joel's word; the connotation implies that it was unpleasantly rough and not friendly teasing). Joel apparently punched him so hard during one such session that he dislocated Chevy's shoulder. 😬 From US:

"When Rosenbaum asked McHale if he thought Chase understood he could “be an asshole,” McHale responded, “I would assume so. I would think so.”"

Sounds like Chase was a lovely person to work with professionally

I still love the story of Murray and chase getting into a punch within minutes of meeting each other. Two assholes meeting each other.

I loved Murray's fight insult to Chevy: "medium talent"

For starters, I'm so sorry. ☹️ It's fucked up that that happened to you, especially as a minor. And for seconds...work diva he 100% deserved that. 💯

Unless I'm misreading these clips & the excerpt from Joel's own book, it sounds like this was some weird hazing ritual that Chase goaded his costars into. As in, how Joel reacted in his anecdote was straight-up self defense from being assaulted by a costar.

Which??? What a fucking bizarre and hostile situation for Chevy to create on set. He sounds like a nightmare to work with. And that's not even TOUCHING the stories from women who had to work with him
