Uno de los actores que trabajó en la desastrosa atracción de Willy Wonka en el Reino Unido lo cuenta todo: los pormenores de lo que salió mal y cómo los padres están arreglando las cosas.

Paul Connell -que interpretó a uno de los Wonkas en el desastre ahora viral- le dice a TMZ que hubo que llamar a la policía luego de que la gente comenzara a tirar cosas cuando la experiencia en Glasgow los decepcionó, lo que enojó seriamente a las familias que gastaron un buen dinero. Él dice: "La gente estaba llorando. La gente gritaba. Se convirtió en una carnicería".

¡Paul no culpa a los huéspedes por su indignación, ya que dice que ni siquiera había chocolate que ofrecer! Échale un vistazo a la entrevista que nos concedió, nos cuenta todos los pormenores del asunto, incluido lo que -según él- tenían que ofrecerle los trabajadores a los niños.

Digamos que era algo escaso, sin sentido y no muy dulce.

Las familias dicen que se quedaron una sensación de engaño después de haber prometido una aventura de Willy Wonka., la cual resultó ser un almacén lleno de decoraciones a medias y casi ninguna golosina.

Según los informes, pagaron $35 por boleto, lo que es bastante considerando la pésima experiencia.

Como ya informamos, el evento contaba con un extraño guion de 13 páginas, el cual Paul dice que tuvieron que abandonar y en su lugar, simplemente improvisaron. Así de malo era.

Incluso hay sospechas de que el guion fue realizado con un software de IA.

Paul dice que esta no es la primera vez que la empresa detrás de la exposición ha fracasado al momento de realizar un evento temático, afirma que han tratado de sacar esto adelante en el pasado, pero parece que los intentos anteriores no funcionaron.

Ah, y no son solo los asistentes están descontentos, Paul alega que no le han pagado las 500 libras (aproximadamente $633) por su tiempo y trabajo. Él le dice a TMZ: "Nadie se ha puesto en contacto conmigo en absoluto. Ha sido un silencio total de parte de ellos".

Pero al igual que el final del clásico infantil de Roald Dahl, hay un final feliz... al menos eso es lo que Paul nos puede afirmar.

Paul nos cuenta que un grupo de padres que asistieron al evento con sus hijos están planeando organizar una nueva experiencia por su cuenta y quieren que él participe. La nueva exposición será gratuita ya que están planeando tener patrocinadores y un montón de donaciones en fila.

AMC Entertainment is giving Taylor Swift and Beyoncé a standing ovation ... the theater chain says their concert movies are behind "literally all" of its revenue to close 2023.

AMC just reported quarterly earnings to Wall Street, and the nationwide chain says Bey and Tay Tay helped boost their financials big time.

On the strength of "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" and "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé," AMC raked in $1.1 billion in fourth-quarter revenue.

The massive figure is up from the $990.9 million in revenue AMC reported in the fourth quarter of 2022, a huge increase as far as AMC is concerned.

Taylor and Beyonce are getting their flowers, too -- AMC's CEO Adam Aron says "literally all" of the increased revenue is a result of the singers' concert movies.

Remember, AMC signed deals last year with Taylor and Beyonce to exclusively distribute their concert films, and it turned out to be a brilliant business move for all involved.

Adam adds ... "To that end, our praise for Taylor Swift and Beyoncé Knowles Carter has no limit."

Without the box office boost from Swifties and the Beyhive, things would probably look pretty bleak for AMC right now ... the company says it's still rebounding from last year's Hollywood strikes.

Overall, AMC still lost $182 million in the quarter, but that is way down from last year's $287.7 million loss ... hence the glee from AMC execs over Taylor and Beyonce.

Essentially, the theater chain's still hurting -- but the superstar singers helped bring the hemorrhaging down to a trickle.

Now, AMC is turning to a different celeb to get butts in theater seats ... AMC announced a trio of new, 30-second Nicole Kidman commercials -- y'know the ones about "making movies better" -- which will play in theater previews, starting Friday.

With Taylor and Beyonce changing the game here with their concert films, AMC says they'll have more concert movies in 2024 and 2025.

Aron says the company's phones are ringing off the hook with calls from different musicians.

Robert Downey Jr. is the front-runner to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor -- but one Academy member is openly admitting ... he's voting for him because he met him in person.

The Hollywood Reporter did their annual writeup that polls anonymous AMPAS members to see what their thought process is going into the new Academy Awards -- which are a couple weeks away -- and one of them was candid on their thoughts about RDJ.

This member said they were voting for Bob ... but it sounds like it might have more to do with his personality than his actual performance -- which is a little disheartening to hear.

They say, "I was torn between Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr., and even though it’s cheesy I’ll be real with you: I met Downey at an awards season party, we had an interaction that I did not initiate, and it tipped the scales for me."

This anonymous voter adds ... "Campaigning matters! What’s really great about him as an actor, in this film and so many others, is his ability to be believable all the time. I loved watching him turn as the story turned on Strauss."

In other words ... they liked RDJ's work in "Oppenheimer," but a little schmoozing went a long way with this person when they met Rob in real life. So, no ... it's not all on merit, it seems.

The reason that kinda sucks ... well, in a perfect world -- you'd like to think people who vote at the Oscars are only looking at what they see on screen, and are judging off of that. But, as this person is confessing, there are some politics involved in this process.

This mystery Academy member calls it campaigning ... another word for it is, lobbying.

While Downey Jr. has been considered a shoo-in from the start -- yes, his performance is actually spectacular and worthy of recognition -- this is the type of stuff you don't really wanna hear if you're Ruffalo, Robert De Niro, Sterling K. Brown or Ryan Gosling.

Robert Downey Jr. es el favorito para ganar el Oscar a Mejor Actor de Reparto, pero un miembro de la Academia está admitiendo abiertamente que va a votar por él porque lo conoció en persona.

The Hollywood Reporter hizo su escritura anual de las encuestas anónimas que los miembros de la Academia realizan para observar su proceso de pensamiento de cara a los nuevos Premios de la Academia, que son solo en un par de días, y uno de ellos fue sincero sobre sus pensamientos acerca de Robert Downey Jr.

Este miembro dijo que iban a votar por Bob. Aunque esto podría tener más que ver con su personalidad que con su interpretación, lo que es un poco desalentador de escuchar.

Ellos dicen: "Yo estaba indeciso entre Mark Ruffalo y Robert Downey Jr, y aunque es cursi voy a ser honesto con ustedes: Conocí a Downey en una fiesta de la temporada de premios, tuvimos una interacción que yo no inicié y eso inclinó la balanza para mí."

Este votante anónimo añade: "¡La campaña es importante! Lo particularmente genial de él como actor, en esta película y en tantas otras, es su capacidad para ser creíble todo el tiempo. Me encantó verlo a medida que la historia avanzaba en torno a Strauss".

En otras palabras: les gustó el trabajo de Robert Downey Jr. en "Oppenheimer", pero la balanza se inclinó un poco cuando conocieron a Rob en persona. Así que no, no es solo por el mérito, al parecer.

La razón por la que esto cae mal es que ... Bueno, en el mundo perfecto te gustaría creer que las personas que votan en los Oscar solo se fijan en lo que ven en la pantalla. Pero, como confiesa esta persona, hay algo de política en este proceso.

Este misterioso miembro de la Academia lo llama campaña, otra palabra para ello es el lobby.

Aunque Downey Jr. ha sido considerado favorito desde el principio -su actuación es realmente espectacular y digna de reconocimiento- estas no son las cosas que quieres oír si eres Ruffalo, Robert De Niro, Sterling K. Brown o Ryan Gosling.

Los visuales de la atracción de Willy Wonka en el Reino Unido son bastante decepcionantes, pero el guion lo es aún más.

El guión de 13 páginas que se le entrego a los actores para realizar el "Willy's Chocolate Experience" en Glasgow, Escocia, ha salido a la luz en línea, y si pensabas que la experiencia en sí parecía precaria, espera a saber de qué va la trama.

Lo primero que salta a la vista es que las descripciones de los decorados -que deberían pintar un cuadro de experiencia caprichosa, encantadora y envolvente- no se corresponden en absoluto con lo que realmente le esperaba a los padres que pagaron, quienes terminaron exigiendo reembolsos.

El naufragio no acaba ahí, el guion está plagado de predicciones sobre cómo respondería el público al decorado y a los actores que interpretaban a Willy Wonka y los Oompa Loompas, pero los halagos no se hicieron realidad.

Paul Connell, el actor contratado para interpretar a Wonka, dice que el elenco recibió el guion el día antes del evento, lo que les dio poco tiempo para memorizar sus líneas y le dijo a The Independent que la escritura era un montón de tonteras generadas por IA.

Un ejemplo perfecto de cómo el guion se desvía en gran medida de la realidad, es la "Sala de Burbujas y Limonada".

En el guion, el espacio se describe como "una habitación donde el aire chispea con burbujas flotantes, y ríos de limonada chispeante fluyen libremente." Suena bien, pero en realidad es solo una mesa desplegable con vasos de plástico que contienen unos sorbos de limonada y una bolsa de basura claramente visible.

También se menciona aquí a una especie de espíritu maligno llamado El Desconocido y también hay un video de un actor interpretándolo durante una de las visitas del pasado fin de semana.

Fue bastante espeluznante y los niños que lo presenciaron se llevaron un susto de muerte.

En pocas palabras, la ejecución del guion no resultó muy bien, pero para ser honesto, la escritura en sí no es muy buena tampoco. Todo es inconexo, difícil de seguir y parece que eso se manifestó en el mundo real cuando intentaron darle vida.

Recordemos que los padres se quejaban de que a sus hijos les daban un cuarto de vaso de limonada y unas cuantas gominolas. Además, se amontonaban en las precarias decoraciones y lo peor es que solo tardabas un minuto en recorrerlo todo.

Todo lo relacionado con el evento es tan lúgubre que casi resulta gracioso... en serio, si necesitas reírte lee el guion. Es hilarante.

Jennifer Coolidge le está dando el beneficio de la duda a Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce cuando se trata de juzgar su cita en el zoológico de Sydney, a pesar de que cree que PETA tiene razón en desaprobarlo.

La estrella de "The White Lotus" estaba en LAX cuando un fotógrafo le preguntó sobre la polémica cita de Travis y Taylor, que está provocando la ira de PETA.

Jennifer dice que los tortolitos deberían tener un pase por varias razones: no cree que pensaran mucho en ir al zoológico y solo querían hacer algo romántico juntos.

Como una gran partidaria de PETA, dice que Taylor y Travis parecen ser amantes de los animales y no va a condenarlos por esto. Pareciera estar caminando una línea muy fina aquí, como una gran fan y también como una gran amante de los animales.

Como hemos informado, PETA dijo que la famosa pareja debería buscar en otra parte la próxima vez que deseen estar cerca de los animales y sugirió que visiten un santuario de animales en lugar de un zoológico.

PETA también se opuso a que la pareja alimentara a un canguro en el zoológico de Sydney, diciendo que era perjudicial para ellos hacer eso.

Jennifer se detiene en criticar demasiado duramente a Taylor y Travis, pero dice que, en última instancia, está de acuerdo con lo que PETA dice sobre el asunto. Es bastante divertido verla luchar con este dilema en cámara, se puede ver que los ama y no quiere criticarlos.

The visuals from the Willy Wonka pop-up attraction in the UK are pretty sad and underwhelming ... but the script is even worse, and more out of touch with reality.

The 13-page script that the actors were given to perform at the now-viral "Willy's Chocolate Experience" in Glasgow, Scotland, has surfaced online ... and if you thought the actual experience itself looked rough, wait until you get a load of the fake plotline behind it.

The first thing that jumps off the page ... set descriptions painting a picture of a whimsical, enchanting and immersive experience do not line up AT ALL with what was actually awaiting paying parents, who ended up demanding refunds for the bait and switch.

The trainwreck doesn't end there ... the script is littered with predictions for how the audience would respond to the set and the actors playing Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompas ... but the rosy outlook didn't play out that way in real life.

Paul Connell, the actor hired to play Wonka, says the cast only got the script the day before the event, leaving them little time to memorize their lines ... and he told The Independent the writing was a bunch of AI-generated gibberish.

A perfect example of how the script greatly deviates from the real deal ... the "Bubble and Lemonade Room."

In the script, the space is described as "a room where the air sparkles with floating bubbles, and rivers of sparking lemonade flow freely." Sounds cool, but in reality, it's just a fold-out table with plastic cups containing a few sips of lemonade ... and a clearly visible trash bag.

There's also mention in here of some kind of evil villain/spirit thing called The Unknown -- and video of an actor portraying it during one of the tours last weekend is out too.

Let's just say ... it was creepy as hell, and scared the crap out of the kids who witnessed it.

Bottom line -- the execution of the script didn't turn out great ... but to be honest, the actual writing itself isn't very good either. The whole thing is disjointed and somewhat hard to follow ... and it sounds like that manifested in the real world when they tried to bring this to life.

Remember ... parents complained their kids were given a quarter cup of lemonade and a few jellybeans, and they piled on the crappy decorations and said the whole thing took a minute to walk through.

Everything about the event is so grim it's almost funny ... seriously, if you need a good laugh read through the script. It's pretty wild.

Un primer vistazo a Bill Skarsgård en el remake de "The Crow" ha salido a la luz y los fans están enojados, criticando el arte corporal exagerado y comparándolo con el Joker de Jared Leto.

Reslulta que Bill es el protagonista de un remake del clásico gótico de culto de 1994 y las primeras imágenes de su personaje renovado "Crow" acaba de caer el miércoles a través de Vanity Fair. Hay un montón de fotos del set que tienen ... pero todo el mundo se centra en esta toma de dinero.

Por si no lo sabías, "El cuervo" sigue la historia de un hombre asesinado que vuelve a la vida para promulgar su venganza contra los hombres que lo mataron a él y a su prometida. Todo esto impregnado de una honda dark/noir. Toda la película es básicamente una película de venganza impregnada con fantasía gótica, y cuenta con un maquillaje y puesta en escena memorables.

En la película original, el personaje -interpretado por el hijo de Bruce Lee, Brandon- llevaba chaquetas de cuero negro y el maquillaje blanco de la cara le hacía parecer más un cadáver, pero en general su aspecto era bastante discreto, especialmente cuando se compara con la versión de Bill. Eso es lo que parece opinar Internet.

Mira las fotos, Bill lleva el cuero y el maquillaje blanco en la cara y el cuerpo, así como una serie de tatuajes indecorosos y un tanto caricaturescos, como un ojo gigante en medio del pecho y la palabra "Lullaby" escrita sobre la ceja derecha.

Todos estos tatuajes han hecho que los fans piensen en otro personaje extravagante... el Joker de Leto en "Escuadrón Suicida", que tenía literalmente escrito "Damaged" en la frente, para que el público no pasara por alto ese rasgo particular del personaje, suponemos.

El punto es que los fans están muy molestos, con algunos diciendo que este concepto del personaje escupe en la cara de la memoria de Brandon.

Por si n lo sabía, Brandon fue asesinado a tiros en el set de "El Cuervo" después de que una pistola de utilería le disparara un fragmento de bala sin limpiar de una escena anterior. Nadie fue acusado penalmente, pero su madre Linda Lee Caldwell demandó con éxito a los cineastas.

Los fans son bastante celosos del personaje de Lee y su legado y están bastante seguros de que el aspecto de Skarsgård solo va a dañar la memoria de Brandon y "The Crow".

Jennifer Coolidge is giving Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their Sydney Zoo date ... even though she says PETA is right to disapprove.

The "White Lotus" star was at LAX when a photog asked her about Taylor and Travis' controversial date idea, which is drawing PETA's ire.

Jennifer says the lovebirds should get a pass for a few reasons ... she doesn't think they put a lot of thought into going to the zoo and were just looking for something romantic to do together.

A big PETA supporter herself, Jennifer says Taylor and Travis seem like fellow animal lovers ... and isn't going to condemn them here. She's kinda walking a fine line here -- huge fan, but also ... big animal lover.

As we reported ... PETA says the famous couple should look elsewhere the next time they're in the mood to be around animals, suggesting they hit up an animal sanctuary instead of a zoo.

PETA also took issue with the couple feeding a kangaroo at the Sydney Zoo ... saying it was harmful to the animal to do that.

Jennifer's stopping short of calling out Taylor and Travis too hard ... but says she ultimately agrees with whatever PETA says on the matter. It's pretty funny to see her wrestle with this dilemma on camera ... you can tell she loves them, and doesn't wanna slam 'em.

A first look at Bill Skarsgård in the remake of "The Crow" is out ... and fans are pissed -- blasting the over-the-top body art, unkindly comparing him to Jared Leto's Joker.

Here's the deal ... Bill's the lead in a remake of the gothic cult classic hit movie from 1994 -- and the first pictures of his revamped "Crow" character just dropped Wednesday via Vanity Fair. There's a lot of set photos they have ... but everyone's focused on this money shot.

FYI ... "The Crow" follows a murdered man who comes back to life to enact his revenge against the men who killed him and his fiancée -- which is it has this dark, noir-esque vibe. The whole film is basically a fantasy revenge flick ... with memorable makeup/costumes.

In the OG film, the eponymous character -- played by Bruce Lee's son Brandon -- wore black leather jackets and bodysuits, and white face makeup made him look more like a corpse, but overall his look was pretty understated ... especially when compared to Bill's version. That's how the internet seems to feel about it anyway!

Just check out the pics ... Bill's got the leather and white face/body makeup -- as well as a series of unseemly and sorta cartoonish tattoos ... including a giant eye in the middle of his chest and the word "Lullaby" written above his right eyebrow.

All of these tats have fans thinking about another outlandish character look ... namely, Leto's Joker in "Suicide Squad" who literally had "Damaged' written on his forehead -- just so the audience wouldn't miss that particular character trait, we guess.

Point is, fans are super upset ... with some even going as far as saying this concept of the character spits in the face of Brandon's memory.

If you don't know ... Brandon was actually shot and killed on "The Crow" set after a prop gun fired an uncleared bullet fragment from a previous scene at him. No one was criminally charged, but his mom Linda Lee Caldwell successfully sued filmmakers.

Safe to say ... fans are pretty protective of Lee's character and his legacy -- and they're pretty sure Skarsgård's look is only going to hurt the memory of Brandon and "The Crow" -- that's what some are saying about this.

Kim Kardashian y Anya Taylor-Joy están siendo acusadas de perpetuar lo que algunos consideran lo contrario de la positividad corporal.

Kim es la última en ser criticada, aunque a Anya ya le pasó a principios de semana. La Kardashian publicó algunas fotos con un corsé de Mugler que hace que su cintura parezca diminuta y mucha gente no estuvo contenta.

La gente vino por ella en los comentarios, acusándola de establecer estándares de belleza poco realistas para las mujeres, mientras que otros la llamaron por promover un ideal de delgadez imposible. Por supuesto, todo lo que Kim hizo fue publicar las fotos y mencionar la marca.

Todo lo demás que se está diciendo en esta conversación es solo gente proyectando sus interpretaciones y quejas, y sin embargo, ella sigue siendo criticada. ¿Qué hay de nuevo?

Kim no es la única que la gente está criticando en línea esta semana por usar corsé, Anya también ha recibido quejas por lo mismo.

La actriz compartió una instantánea en blanco y negro luciendo un corsé de una prueba de Maison Margiela antes del estreno de "Dune 2" y ella también fue atacada por normalizar y dar glamour a su pequeña figura, cuando, en realidad, no muchas personas se ven así.

Kim Kardashian's catching some heat for rocking a corset, as is Anya Taylor-Joy ... both of whom are being accused of perpetuating what some consider the opposite of body positivity.

Kim is the latest one to get backlash -- although, Anya kicked it all off earlier in the week. KK posted some photos of herself wearing a Mugler corset that makes her waist look teeny-tiny ... and a lot of people weren't happy with it.

People came for her in the comments ... accusing her of setting unrealistic beauty standards for women, while others called her out for promoting an impossible skinny ideal on her platform. Of course, all Kim did, really, was post the pics and mention the brand.

Everything else that's being kicked around in this convo is just people projecting their interpretations/gripes ... and yet, she's still getting dragged. What else is new?

FWIW, Kim isn't the only one who people are bashing online this week over corset looks -- Anya has also been getting criticism for her own photo with a corset on.

The actress shared a B&W snap of herself wearing a corset from a Maison Margiela fitting ahead of the 'Dune 2' premiere ... and she too was lambasted for what some consider normalizing and glamorizing her tiny frame -- when, in reality, not many people look like this.

Neither A-lister has addressed all the flak they're getting ... but people are making a lot of noise about it regardless.

Ben Affleck tenía una petición importante para Jennifer López antes de volver con la superestrella... mantener su relación fuera de las redes sociales, una demanda que no ganó.

El actor compartió su demanda de privacidad en el nuevo documental de Amazon Prime de su esposa, "The Greatest Love Story Never Told", que pone toda su relación bajo un microscopio, por lo que su confesión es irónica. Ben inicialmente quería mantener su romance reavivado en secreto.

Explica: "Al volver a estar juntos, dije: 'Escucha, una de las cosas que no quiero es una relación en las redes sociales'". Sin embargo, luego se dio cuenta de que no estaba siendo justo, ya que Jen utiliza mucho las redes sociales y tiene cientos de millones de seguidores.

Una vez que consideró esto, Ben dice que cedió, añadiendo: "Es algo como te fueras a casar con un capitán del barco y dices, "Bueno, no me gusta el agua". Terminó diciendo: "Solo somos dos personas con diferentes tipos de enfoques tratando de aprender a comprometerse".

Por supuesto, la pareja se conoció en 2002, pero se la cosa se puso seria en 2004. Se reunieron de nuevo casi 20 años más tarde y para volver a empezar.

TMZ publicó la historia, las antiguas llamas reavivaron su historia de amor en 2021, se casaron al año siguiente en una lujosa ceremonia en Georgia. Desde entonces, han sido inseparables.

Mientras que Ben dice que ha cedido en su postura de evitar las redes sociales, parece que Jenny ha respetado al menos un poco sus deseos originales, ya que solo aparece de vez en cuando en sus cuentas.

De hecho, Jennifer confirmó en un documento que su marido no es realmente un fan de los focos, pero lo llamó su musa para su noveno álbum de estudio, "This Is Me... Now". Por lo tanto, él fue parte de la historia le guste o no, y parece que le parece bien.

Ben puede haberse mostrado reacio, pero sin duda ayudó a dar vida al producto final, ya que fue su idea capturar cada momento detrás de escenas.

Ben Affleck had a major ask of Jennifer Lopez before getting back together with the superstar -- keeping their relationship off social media ... a demand he didn't win.

The actor shared his privacy demand in his wife's new Amazon Prime documentary -- "The Greatest Love Story Never Told" ... which puts their whole relationship under a microscope -- which is why his confession is ironic. Ben initially wanted J Lo to keep their rekindled romance under wraps.

He explains, "Getting back together, I said, 'Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.'" However, he then realized he wasn't being fair -- noting Jen heavily uses social media and has hundreds of millions followers.

Once he considered this, Ben says he caved -- adding ... "It’s sort of like, you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, 'Well, I don't like the water.'" BA finished by saying ... "We're just two people with different kinds of approaches trying to learn to compromise."

Of course ... Bennifer first got together in 2002 -- but called things off for good by 2004 ... or, so we thought at the time. They got back together almost 20 years later and started again.

TMZ broke the story ... the former flames rekindled their love story in 2021 -- getting married that next year in a lavish ceremony in Georgia. Since then, they've been inseparable.

While Ben says he's relented on the no-social-media stance -- it appears Jenny has at least somewhat respected his original wishes ... as he only pops up occasionally on her social media accounts.

In fact ... Jennifer confirmed in her doc that her husband isn't really a fan of the spotlight -- but called him her muse for her ninth studio album, "This Is Me...Now." So, he was front and center for this project -- whether he liked it or not, and he seems to be cool with it.

Ben may've been a reluctant participant ... but he certainly assisted in bringing to life the final product -- as it was his idea to capture every single behind-the-scenes moment.

Rebecca Ferguson says she once got berated by an A-list costar who she refuses to work with ever again -- and while she didn't name names ... she did exclude two people, which has left the internet rife with guesses.

The actress dished this tea on the "Reign with Josh Smith" podcast -- and she was responding to a question about a time when she owned her voice and took control of her situation ... which led to this wild anecdote about a mystery fellow cast member.

Rebecca doesn't ID them, nor does she implicate gender, but what she does say is that this actor she was working on the film with was absolutely horrible ... allegedly yelling at her.

She says they were frustrated while they were doing scene work together, and they'd apparently hurl insults at Rebecca -- openly questioning her acting methods and tenacity ... while also noting they were the number 1 person on the call sheet. So, a big star basically.

Rebecca goes on to explain that nobody had her back on that set, but eventually ... she found her own inner strength and told this actor to f*** off -- and apparently even demanded that the person turn around while she recited her own lines.

In other words, she didn't wanna be in the same space as this person, and it sounds like she put her foot down while shooting. The big question ... who the hell is this awful person???

Like we said, Rebecca went out of her way to protect this celeb's anonymity -- but she did give some clues ... including the fact this supposedly happened in the last 10 to 12 years. Of course, the internet is rife with speculation on which costar this could possibly be.

We should note ... RF explicitly said it wasn't Hugh Jackman and it wasn't Tom Cruise. Technically -- with the parameters she's described -- there's only a select few actors it could possibly be We're not gonna name anybody and fuel speculation ... but folks seem to know who the options are here, guy or girl.

One person who's stepped forward to seemingly distance himself from this drama is The Rock -- who starred opposite Rebecca in 2014's 'Hercules.'

He responded, "Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bullshit. Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set. I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this."

So, that's one person down ... and a handful of others left as the would-be culprit. Just goes to show -- not everyone in Hollywood is all that sweet -- at least according to Rebecca.

Buddy Duress, best known for starring opposite Robert Pattinson in the Safdie Brothers hit "Good Time," has died ... according to his brother.

Christopher Stathis confirmed the news to People Tuesday saying Buddy died back in November ... a death Christopher attributes to cardiac arrest brought on by drugs.

Duress has several credits on IMDb including "Person to Person," "The Great Darkened Days," "Beware of Dog," "Flinch," "Funny Pages" and "Heaven Knows What."

Buddy dealt with drug abuse and legal issues for much of his adult life it seems. He met director Josh Safdie after his release from NYC's Rikers Island prison -- where he did time for drug charges -- and filmed his part in "Heaven Knows What."

After that, he was rearrested for not going to rehab.

Josh and his brother Benny Safdie asked Buddy to journal his experiences in prison -- which partly served as a basis for "Good Time" according to the Los Angeles Times.

It appears Buddy still has 2 more projects set to be released posthumously ... "Mass State Lottery" and a short film called "Skull" should be coming out over the course of the next year.

He is survived by Christopher and his mother Jo-Anne.

Buddy was 38.
