Another wrote: ‘I think I found out who shouted at Rebecca Ferguson. I really hate to be him, but Ewan McGregor. A few months ago, an “insider” accused Rebecca Ferrguson of treating the cast and crew of Doctor Sleep terribly. You can just tell it was a hit right before Dune 2.”

A third added: ‘Y’all are forgetting the most obvious. Obi Wan himself, aka Ewan McGregor, was Rebecca Ferguson’s co-star in Doctor Sleep.’

Others focused on Hugh Grant, with some writing: ‘My lottery money from whoever insulted Rebecca Ferguson goes to Hugh Grant.’

Another wrote: ‘People are going into spirals trying to figure out who ever shouted at Rebecca Frguson on set with Hugh Grant literally there.’

A fan added: ‘Hugh Grant is known for being a bit irritable and getting angry on set so I wonder if that’s what Rebecca Ferguson was talking about.’

Jake Gyllenhaal also didn’t escape suspicion when one user wrote: ‘Pretty sure Jake Gyllenhaal yelled at Rebecca Ferguson. I can’t imagine The Rock or Ryan Reynolds maliciously insulting her.”

Another wrote: ‘For some reason I’m convinced it was Jake Gyllenaal that Rebecca Ferguson was talking about.’

A third added: “She’s 100% talking about Jake Gyllenhaal.”

During the Reign with Josh SmithRebecca revealed that there is an “absolute idiot of a co-star” who she will never work with again after the way they treated her on the set of a previous film.

“I remember there was a moment where this human being was 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 yelled at.

‘But because this person was number one on the call list, there was no safety net for me. So no one had my back. And I would cry when I left the set.”

Rebecca recalled the co-star saying things to her on set like “Do you call yourself an actor?”, “This is what I have to work with?” and ‘What the hell is this?’ in front of the entire crew.

“I just stood there breaking,” she said.

Rebecca hoped she would get support from producers in that situation, but said that wasn’t the case.

But after being exposed to the co-star’s temper, Rebecca claims she came in the next day and spoke up for the first time. “Get off my set,” she told the co-star.

“I remember being so scared,” she said. “I looked at this person and said, ‘You can leave. I’m going to work on a tennis ball. I never want to see you again.’

Rebecca claimed that producers told her she couldn’t do that with the actor in question, also known as ‘number one’, because they had to be on set.

But the actress stood her ground and said the co-star could turn around and she would act against the back of their heads. “And I did,” she helped. “And I remember thinking at the time that I was so scared.”

Rebecca said she went to the director after the scene and asked why that behavior was allowed to continue.

She added: “The director said, ‘You’re right. I don’t take care of the rest. I’m trying to figure this person out. Because it’s so unstable.’

“It was great from then on, but it took me so long to get there. It’s been the last 10 to 12 years and I’ve been acting since I was 16.”

During the episode, Rebecca also talked about the valuable lessons she learned working with Timothée Chalamet on Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two.

“I’m just having fun and doing a lot of different things, you know,” she said.

“He carries things. I remember times when I was giggling and having fun and I felt like it wasn’t really helping him. So I think I learned a lot from watching the process of one of our incredible independent actors on the set of a studio film.”

She added, “The respect you have to have for everyone… I learned more from him without him knowing.”
