Speculation is running rampant after Dune: Part Two star Rebecca Ferguson revealed that she refused to work with a former co-star after they exploded in anger while shooting a scene.
Ferguson was being interviewed for the Reign with Josh Smith podcast, and was asked when she feels she's been "proudest of using her own voice." The Mission: Impossible actress then recalled working with an "absolute idiot" who grew frustrated when they couldn't get their lines out, taking it out on her by "screaming" at saying, "aren't you supposed to be an actor?"
The next day, Ferguson told the individual to "F-off," and would only act in a scene with them if they turned around so she could see the back of their head.
Ferguson didn't specify whether this was a male or female co-star, but the internet believes it's narrowed down the possibilities to: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Michael Fassbender, and Jake Gyllenhaal. The Rock shared this response, however.
