21 of the most notorious feuds between actors and directors

  • These Hollywood feuds offer a glimpse into the sometimes-fraught world of entertainment.
  • Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's reported feud has already solidified its place in pop-culture history.

"It Ends With Us," the long-awaited film adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel of the same name, has had no shortage of controversies, starting with its subject matter — some critics have claimed the story "romanticizes" domestic abuse.

But that's not the only reason you might have seen this movie in the headlines. Internet detectives have become convinced there's drama between Justin Baldoni, the director (who also stars in the film), and Blake Lively, who plays protagonist Lily Bloom.

While there's been no confirmation from either side, and Baldoni has had nothing but positive things to say about working with Lively, the rest of the cast has essentially ignored Baldoni throughout the entire press tour.

Baldoni and Lively aren't the only director/actor pairing to have reportedly dealt with some on-set friction, though. Throughout Hollywood history, this type of feud is a frequent one, going as far back as the 1960s.

Here are some of the most infamous feuds between actors and directors in movie history.
