Who in the hell is mistreating my queen, Rebecca Ferguson? Me and the entire internet are freaking out after the actress revealed in a new interview that a former co-star “screamed” at her and made her feel horrible on set. Nope, I’m not having it. Naturally, Rebecca had an epic response: telling them to “fuck off” and refusing to look at their face. *Snaps.* Although she didn’t go into much detail regarding the identity of the person, a few of her old co-stars have already publicly supported her and cleared their own names.
This uber-talented Swede gave us Dune, Mission Impossible, The Greatest Showman, and a whole lot more. She deserves nothing but love, fame, and obviously our worship. I hope this moment encourages all celebrities to go the fuck off in interviews: When you speak your truth, the stans will be there to support you and possibly launch a CIA-level investigation. At least, that’s exactly what I did. Who dared to scream at Rebecca Ferguson? Here’s a breakdown of her “idiot” co-star situation… it’s messy.
When Rebecca appeared on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast, she did not hesitate to spill all the tea about this incident. “I did a film with an absolute idiot of a co-star,” she recalled. “And this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out. And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at. I would cry walking off set. This person would literally look at me in front of the whole crew and say, ‘You call yourself an actor. This is what I have to work with? What is this?'” Big yikes.
She explained that because the person was “No. 1 on a call sheet,” there was no “safety net” for her. The legend decided to take matters into her own hands and stick up for herself. The next day she came to set and told this actor, “You get off my set… You can fuck off. I’m gonna work towards a tennis ball. I never wanna see you again.” TELL ‘EM. The producers informed her that the person had to be on set, so she suggested they turn around so she could act to the back of their head. It really doesn’t get more iconic than that response.
The Rock, who starred in Hercules with Rebecca, was swift to take his name out of the conversation. “Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bullshit,” he wrote on X. “Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set. I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this.” That’s a strategic king right there. Emily Blunt, who worked with Rebecca on The Girl On The Train, had a similar approach — someone from her team told The Daily Mail that she and Rebecca “are friends and there’s nothing but love between them.”

Rebecca did not share the gender of the person, but she did rule out her former co-stars, Hugh Jackman and Tom Cruise, during the interview. Hmmm. I’ll be keeping an eye out for any new information about this case.
