You’d expect movie stars would love seeing themselves shine on the big screen, but not all do. For many actors, the job ends when the director yells “cut” for the last time. Whether it's avoiding the emotional weight of intense roles, cringing at their own voice, or just being their own worst critic, plenty of stars skip watching the final cut.

With hectic schedules, overlapping projects, on-set drama, and bad memories, there's a long list of reasons why some would rather move on than relive it all. So yes, actors are just like us: slightly allergic to watching themselves on video.
