It's no longer each day that you hear of well-known actors publicly criticizing their roles. Even if most of them have roles they hate (and with all of the box administrative center bombs that have come out in recent years, we are sure some of them do), they know that it takes more than impeccable appearing chops to make a a hit career.
It's also essential not to offend writers and manufacturers of because it is highly likely they will want them again at some point. With that being mentioned, some actors simply do not care. If they're now not pleased with a job, they make it identified. And they do not mince words, either. (Even if they for sure will have to.) Here are 10 actors who hated the roles that made them rich.
Nicole Kidman
In 2008, Nicole Kidman starred reverse of Hugh Jackman in an "epic romance" called Australia. It's a historic drama, which specializes in the love tale between a recent widow who's traveled to Australia from Britain declare a plot of land she inherited. While there she crosses paths with a native, who in the midst of much turmoil round them, fall in love along with her.
One wouldn't consider Australia to be a box place of work success, but it did quite neatly, grossing virtually $250 million greenbacks in the first yr of unlock. Not even that determine may just provoke Nicole Kidman, who relayed this message to a Sydney radio station: "I can't look at this movie and be proud of what I've done...It's just impossible for me to connect to it emotionally."
Colin Farrell
Colin Farrell starred as Detective Crockett in the 2006 film adaptation of Miami Vice. His personality was the partner of Jamie Foxx's persona, Detective Tubbs. Even regardless that the movie was once a business and important luck, the role left a bad style in Colin's mouth.
"I didn't like it very much," he said. "I understood that we were trying to paint a relationship with Tubbs and Crockett that was so grounded and familiar that there was no need for them to incessantly talk to each other, or look at each other, over two and a half hours." Can't win them all.
Kate Winslet
Kate Winslet's most well-known function is enjoying Rose DeWitt Bukater in Titanic. The movie debuted in theaters over twenty years in the past, however lovers are still just as in love with her onscreen chemistry with Leonardo DiCaprio as they were back then.
Unfortunately, Kate Winslet isn't quite as keen on her portrayal of Rose. In truth, she completely hates how she interpreted the material. “Even my American accent," she said of her position, "I can’t listen to it. It’s awful. Hopefully, it’s such a lot better now. It sounds extraordinarily self-indulgent but actors do have a tendency to be very self-critical. I've a difficult time watching any of my performances, but gazing Titanic I used to be similar to, ‘Oh God, I need to do that again.’”
George Clooney
George Clooney starred in Batman and Robin in 1997. Despite drawing a profit of about $one hundred million, the film wasn't well gained via audiences or critics.
George Clooney, who took on the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne, stocks this opinion on the film on The Graham Norton Show. “Let me just say that I’d in reality idea I’d destroyed the franchise until someone else introduced it again years later and altered it," he said while appearing on The Graham Norton Show. "I assumed at the time that this was once going to be a very good career move. Ummmmm, it wasn’t.”
Megan Fox
Megan Fox starred as Makaela Banes, the car-savvy love interest of Shia LeBeouf's personality in the Transformer franchise. Well, no less than the first two motion pictures. Even even though Transformers 1 and 2 have been each commercial successes, Megan's revel in on set left a bad style in her mouth.

At the time, Megan shared that her experience with director Michael Bay wasn't a pleasant one. In Wonderland magazine she even likened him to an notorious dictator. "He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is, so he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward," she mentioned. "He has no social skills at all. ... He's vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he's a tyrant."
Matt Damon
Matt Damon took on the role of Jason Bourne in 2002's The Bourne Supremacy, the first of five general motion pictures with The Bourne franchise. The movies, which all grossed a number of hundred million greenbacks, have devoted fan bases. One individual who wasn't impressed with no less than one of the films was once Matt himself. Apparently he wasn't a fan of the screenplay for The Bourne Identity, alternatively, he did not take any pictures at the screenwriter, Tony Gilroy, when he felt didn't flip in high quality paintings.
"It's the studio's fault for putting themselves in that position," he said. "I don't blame Tony for taking a boatload of money and handing in what he handed in. It’s just that it was unreadable. This is a career-ender. I mean, I could put this thing up on eBay and it would be game over for that dude. It's terrible. It's really embarrassing. He was having a go, basically, and he took his money and left."
Katherine Heigl
Katherine Heigl has now not one, but two major roles that she's publicly berated. In 2008, in a while after she starred in Knocked Up, she had this to mention about her position: "It was a little sexist,” Heigl told Vanity Fair. “It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys.
Katherine's comments preceded swift backlash from the public. But proving that Katherine had learned absolutely nothing, she spoke out about her role on Grey's Anatomy just a few months later, when she commented on her decision to withdraw herself from Emmy consideration. “I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention," she mentioned. "In addition, I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials.”
Daniel Radcliffe
Daniel Radcliffe was just 11 years old when he was cast as Harry Potter in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which is based on the novel by J.K. Rowling. Over the next ten years, he would star in five films total for the franchise.
Overall, the Harry Potter franchise is both a commercial and critical success. And even though Daniel was incredibly young when he was given the opportunity to lead such a big project, he mostly has fond memories of his time on set. That doesn't mean that everything was perfect however. In 2015, he had this to say about his performance in 2009's Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince: "I'm simply not superb in it," he said to a British newspaper. "I hate it. My acting could be very one-note and I can see I were given complacent, and what I used to be looking to just do didn't come throughout."
Constance Wu
Before Constance Wu landed a starring role in Crazy Rich Asians, she starred in Fresh Off The Boat, a boundary-pushing comedy that centered around a Taiwanese-American family, as Jessica Huang. One would have assumed that she was happy with her role, until earlier this year.
Constance Wu caused a bunch of kerfuffle on Twitter when she posted expletive-filled tweets around the time Fresh Off The Boat was renewed. It was an odd reaction for an actor, who just learned they would be employed for at least another year. Some people inquired as to whether or not Wu felt she was now better than her cast mates, given her box office success. Eventually, she revealed that she was disappointed about the show being renewed because it interfered with another project she wanted to appear in.
Robert Pattinson
Landing the role of Edward Cullen in the Twilight franchise, based on the novels by Stephanie Meyer, may have turned Robert Pattinson into a multi-millionaire, but he's never hidden his disdain for the character. In fact, Robert Pattinson has been so outspoken about his dislike of Edward Cullen, a 100-year-old Vampire, who fell in love with a young girl that his candid responses have been made into memes.
It would take far too long to include all of Pattinson's critiques of the character, so allow us to leave you with this one of Stephanie Meyer herself: "I was convinced Stephanie [Meyers] was convinced she was once Bella and it used to be like it was a ebook that wasn’t supposed to be published... I was simply convinced – I used to be like, ‘ This lady is mad. She’s completely mad and he or she’s in love together with her own fictional advent.”
