50 Actors Who Hated Their Own Iconic Movies

Actors and actresses have the unique ability to embody characters that exist in cinematic universes different from their own. But sometimes, not all creative endeavors are beautiful, and the end product isn't always that great. Actors must hide their personal distaste for the film they are in, perhaps not admitting their negative opinion of the project in interviews until years after its release.

There are many reasons why Hollywood stars hate their own work. Channing Tatum has signed a studio contract for GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Mark Wahlberg found The Happening's plot ridiculous and lacking in material. Zac Efron feels the shadow of his iconic role in High School Musical has changed his career.

Stecker compiled a list of the 50 times actors have hated their own movies by researching and referencing direct interview excerpts from various publications over the years. To qualify for this list, actors must provide a quote that specifically states they didn't like the film they were in; indirect evidence or sources of anonymous opinion were not interviewed. We've also made sure that all the actors listed play a significant role in the film they're talking about, and not just an extra or someone unrelated to its production. This list spans 52 years and represents a diverse group of actors and genres exploring the rich history and cultural influence of cinema in the last century and this century.

Catch up and enjoy some Hollywood gossip, from Christopher Plummer as Captain Von Trapp in 1965's The Sound of Music to Jennifer Lawrence as the Mother in Mother! 2017 when we look back at 50 moments when actors hated their own movies.
