It's often assumed that on-screen chemistry between characters translates to a real-life connection between actors. However, this is not always the case. Whether the relationship is doomed from the beginning or the extensive time spent together on set eventually drives them apart, it is surprisingly common for co-stars to develop a hatred towards each other.
Rebel Wilson has been hinting for a while that she has major beef with a former co-star, and she'll be revealing all in her upcoming memoir 'Rebel Rising.' The actress previously stated on social media that a “massive a**hole” she once worked with had hired a crisis PR team and started threatening her after she claimed she would dedicate a chapter to unveiling his terrible behavior in her book.
On March 25, she finally named the actor in question. “I will not be bullied or silenced with high priced lawyer or PR crisis managers. The ‘a**hole’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is Sacha Baron Cohen.” Wilson played Baron Cohen's wife in his 2016 comedy 'The Brothers Grimsby,' which Baron Cohen wrote, produced, and starred in. Wilson claims that he repeatedly pressured her to do naked scenes and other acts that made her uncomfortable.
In a 2014 radio interview, Wilson described the type of interactions they had on set. “Every day he’s like, ‘Just go naked, it will be funny. Remember in ‘Borat’ when I did that naked scene? It was hilarious.’” Wilson says she was pushed to the point of threatening to call their shared agent and report him for harassment. “On the last day, I thought I’d obviously won the argument, and he got a body double to do the naked scene.” However, he allegedly tried to add unscripted elements to their final scene together that made her uncomfortable.
The 'Borat' star denied the allegations in a statement delivered by a spokesperson: “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of ‘The Brothers Grimsby.’” Wilson's book is set to be released on April 2.
