Rebecca Ferguson shares more details about ‘scary’ moment ‘idiot’ co-star ‘screamed’ at her on set

Rebecca Ferguson would do things differently if she got “screamed” at by an “idiot” co-star again.

The actress, whose on-set experience with a mystery actor first made headlines in 2024, looked back on the confrontation in a new Harper’s Bazaar UK interview.

“It was so scary,” the “Dune” star recalled on Wednesday. “I didn’t know then how to go, ‘Hey, can I talk to you privately?’”

Ferguson, 42, now believes she would “take this person aside” to talk.

“A lot of people say that we’ve become too woke, but I think, no, it’s great,” she added. “The pendulum needs to swing to the other side so that we can find a balance in between.”

The Golden Globe nominee noted that sharing the story on Josh Smith’s “Reign” podcast in February 2024 was never “about the person” who yelled at her — but about her own reaction.

At the time, Ferguson “was so vulnerable and uncomfortable” that she “would cry walking off set.”

She remembered, “This person would literally look at me in front of the whole crew and say, ‘You call yourself an actor? This is what I have to work with?’ stood there just breaking. Because this person was No. 1 on the call sheet, there was no safety net for me. No one had my back.”

The “Girl on the Train” star eventually called out her “bully,” whom she has since clarified was not Hugh Jackman or Tom Cruise, and demanded she either act alongside a tennis ball or talk to the back of the man’s head.

“I remember the producers came up and said, ‘You can’t do this to No. 1. We have to let this person be on set,” she continued, noting the director even admitted to “not taking care of” anyone besides the “unstable” actor.

Ferguson’s “Hercules” co-star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson subsequently shared his support via social media.

“Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bulls–t,” the 53-year-old tweeted. “Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set, I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this.”

Last year, Ferguson dropped more hints about the unidentified A-lister during a sitdown with The Times.

“Other people who have worked with this person also had a s–tty time,” she claimed, while acknowledging it’s “really tricky” to “stand up” to others.

“I will shove someone under a bus in front of an entire crew to make a point. I don’t applaud my own behavior in that,” the “Greatest Showman” star explained. “They’ll fire you and give the job to someone else.”
