Jonathan Majors' old coworkers slammed his 'method acting' on the set of 'Magazine Dreams' and alleged the actor became violent

• Jonathan Majors' former coworkers slammed the actor's on-set behavior, accusing him of violence.
• Sources from the set of "Magazine Dreams" told Rolling Stone about the outbursts.

Jonathan Majors' coworkers on his upcoming film, "Magazine Dreams," criticized the actor in a recent report, alleging that he was irritable and violent on set and that he chalked his behavior up to method acting as an excuse.

"I've heard of different method actors and how their behavior is, but none of them are violent or rude toward their crew," an unnamed "Magazine Dreams" production member told Rolling Stone.

Another unnamed crew member told Rolling Stone: "You don't terrorize people with your character."

Searchlight Pictures, the film studio behind "Magazine Dreams," and lawyers for Majors did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

In a statement to Rolling Stone, Majors' attorney, Dustin A. Pusch, denied the allegations.

"The allegations that Mr. Majors got physical with or physically intimidated anyone on any movie set are downright false," Pusch wrote in the statement to Rolling Stone. "Everyone who has worked with Mr. Majors knows that he employs an immersive Method acting style, and while that can be misconstrued as rudeness at times, those who know Mr. Majors and work in the industry have attested to his dedication to his craft as well as his kindness."

Rolling Stone on Thursday published a scathing investigation into Majors' past as his court date in the case in which he's accused of attacking an ex-girlfriend creeps closer.

In the Rolling Stone report, anonymous sources allege Majors abused two women he dated, was violent during his time at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University, and had outbursts on a film set.

An unnamed "Magazine Dreams" production member told Rolling Stone Majors was "completely disrespectful and kind of violent toward everybody."

"It put everyone on a stress level because we can't do our job because we were afraid we were gonna get hurt," they said.

Production crew members on the set of "Magazine Dreams" — which follows a bodybuilder trying to become the best as he grapples with feelings of rage — told Rolling Stone that Majors employed method acting for the role and that they were warned to keep their distance from him on set.

Three people told Rolling Stone that Majors' method acting made people "uncomfortable" and alleged that he was "verbally aggressive" to those he worked with, often screaming and cursing at others on set.

Two other "Magazine Dreams" production members alleged to Rolling Stone that Majors pushed one of them away from him on set while "moving in an intimidating manner toward the other while yelling."

The two production members then filed a complaint, a separate production member told Rolling Stone.

One source familiar with the situation told Rolling Stone there was a complaint made but that the incident didn't involve any physical contact between Majors and the producers.

Multiple sources told Rolling Stone that at least one complaint was made about Majors, but he wasn't reprimanded.

Majors was accused of assaulting an ex-girlfriend in New York City in March.

He was arrested and the case is expected to go to trial beginning in August.

He has filed a cross-complaint against his accuser, and the NYPD has probable cause for her arrest, sources with knowledge of the investigation previously told Insider.
