Why did the other cast members hate him?
Why did the other cast members hate him?
Jonathan Taylor
Hudson Flores
He was a very Hollywood actor. Not a big star, but from a Hollywood family, acustomed to that way of acting, how movies are made and how to behave on set. Not sure if they hated him, source?
Zachary Adams
It’s just a meme.
Josiah Davis
They did? I always thought John Rhys-Davies was the odd man out since he was a lot older and didn't want to do the whole hanging out smoking pot thing with the rest of them
Also I heard they gave Dominic Monaghan a lot of shit for being pampered
Isaac Stewart
yeah hate is a strong word, he definitely comes across as a bit of control freak, they make fun of it a little bit in the bts and cast commentaries, so I'd guess he probably was the most 'hollywood' and difficult to work with at times.
Ryan Taylor
His wife had a baby during filming and he fucked off after filming to be with his family instead of getting shitfaced with the cast
Henry Diaz
>rich and elite prep school actors calling anyone else pampered
Evan Richardson
He was uptight and didn't mesh socially with the rest of the cast/crew dynamic. He also spent time bitching about samwise and hobbits and wanted to do more cool stuff onscreen. Overall nothing bad though.
John was an old man and didn't want to hang out with a bunch of young dudes getting drunk and tattoos and shit, Ian had energy for that because he's a gay theater dude
Austin Howard
a divide between the old/young actors is common, I don't think it was a big deal though they still liked him, remember on the making shit on the extended edition he was great for telling stories about people he'd worked with over the years, and Dom talking about the main fellowship all going out for dinner and John took charge and ordered a feast that would have fed 40 people, they liked him even if he wasn't a bro hanging out all the time.
Carson Clark
Unironically what Sam did in the book too
Thomas Nelson
Basically this.
David James
The story of him trying to marshal in helicopters sounded pretty endearing desu
Bentley Parker
Sean Bean is a massive pisshead, remember the story when he filming GoT he got stabbed in a bar and just went back to drinking. Legolas and hobbits were in their 20s, mckellen was probably hoping to roofie their drinks and rape asses.
Julian Young
yeah. but then realise, trying to direct professional pilots, like he has any idea what he's doing, that's his controlling personality all the time, he probably gets insufferable at times.
Parker Wood
Unironically where are you lads getting these anecdotes? I'm not doubting you I just want to watch or read all this shit myself, it sounds kino as fuck
Joshua Peterson
Lol sir Ian what a geezer
Lucas Parker
same, I watched all of the extras on the dvds, but you dont get too much good gossip on them
Bentley Davis
Daniel Sanders
by being old and seeing the movies when the came out, being hype, reading stuff about it as they happened. a lot of it is in the making of documentaries in the extended editions and cast commentaries on the movies.
Kevin Sullivan
>they make fun of it a little bit in the bts and cast commentaries
>A bit of banter means they hate him
They'd be more likely to stay quiet if they actually did have an awful time with him so as to not start shit
Dylan Ross
I read the book he wrote about the experience of filming LOTR. Even when he is in control of the writing and can put himself in the best light possible, he still comes off as a whiny, controlling buzzkill who appointed himself the 'grown-up' on set to lecture and scold everyone else for having fun or doing dumb shit. Constantly bitched about how so-and-so wanted to do something dangerous and he had to try and stop them for their own good.
TL;DR: What a little puss.
Jonathan Lee
the extended edition making of is a goldmine of comfy stories

Hudson Harris
>he's a gay theater dude
which is the best kind of dude desu
Jonathan Evans
I agree it's a ridiculous thing to do, but what I mean is that whoever was telling the story (Dominic I think?) made it sound endearing, not like they resented him for how he was.
Dylan King
this. MacKellen must've been a blast to hang around during the filming downtime
Thomas Nguyen
He and I share the same birthday.
Levi Campbell
like that time Elijah Wood lost bet and had to lick Dominic Monagan's foreskin, lol
Landon Roberts
you wish fag
Jackson Rogers
Think about it logically...
Logan Bell
i don't get why Zig Forums tries to force this thing about the hobbits hating sean. the only thing i gather from the commentaries is that they made fun of him for being a boomer in a lovingly way.
Connor Hill
Carson Davis
Nice source faggot.
Bentley Bailey
We need to fatten Jackson back up again and give him his soul back bros.
Owen Miller
Exactly. I want to believe that the production of these movies was just as magical as the BTS material makes it seem, and I literally see no reason not to believe so. It's even one valid reason for why the movies turned out so great
Oliver Adams
obviously they're only going to have nice anecdotes in the official material, not shitting on other cast members, but even being nice he was still being painted as a bit of a control freak, it was just the tip of the iceberg.
Luke Myers
Based father
Gavin Harris
Gandalf also hated him and made him cry. Sam talks about it in that book another user mentioned.
Nathaniel Gomez
no, YOU wish, FAG
