Dune: Part Two star Rebecca Ferguson has revealed that she once had to tell one of her famous co-stars to “fuck off” on set due to their unreasonable behaviour.Ferguson plays Lady Jessica in Dune: Part Two, the mother to Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides, and she is also known for her roles in the Mission: Impossible franchise, The Greatest Showman and Doctor Sleep.And now, in an appearance on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast, she has spoken for the first time about an “absolute idiot” of a former co-star who “screamed” at her and reduced her to tears.She did not name the star, but did confirm that it was not Hugh Jackman or Tom Cruise.“I remember there was a moment and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out,” she said. “And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at.

But because this person was number one on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me. So no one had my back. And I would cry walking off set.”She said the actor screamed things such as, “You call yourself an actor?” and “This is what I have to work with?”. “I stood there just breaking,” she recalled.Ferguson said she decided to challenge the co-star the next day, telling them to “get off my set.”“I looked at this person and I said, ‘You can fuck off.

I’m gonna work towards a tennis ball. I never want to see you again.’ And then I remember the producers came up and said, ‘You can’t do this to number one.
