Try to find a celebrity who hates their “breakout” persona more than Miley Cyrus hates Hannah Montana. That’s what the character did to Cyrus’ childhood.

She described the troubling effects of the role, saying, “From the time I was 11, it was, ‘You’re a pop star! That means you have to be blonde, and you have to have long hair, and you have to put on some glittery tight thing.’ Meanwhile, I’m this fragile little girl playing a 16-year-old in a wig and a ton of makeup. It was like Toddlers & Tiaras. I had f**king flippers.”

When Cyrus was hosting Saturday Night Live, she gave an update on Hannah Montana’s status, declaring, “She’s been murdered.” She is perfectly fine leaving the best of both worlds behind for a new image and equal pay.

Thomas F. Wilson, who we know as Biff Tannen in the Back to the Future films, didn’t exactly hate his role, but he did get approached by fans asking him the same questions again and again.

To save time and discourage fans with those conversations, Wilson presents people with pre-printed FAQ cards to answer all their questions. Here’s the full text. It’s pretty informative, though imagine the annoyance having to create such a thing.

Marty McFly’s nerdy father, George, is loved by many, but not by the actor who portrayed him, Crispin Glover. Glover was not pleased with the first film’s ending, which gave an alternate future where the McFly family is rich and Marty is rewarded with a new truck. He told the director,

“I had a conversation with Robert Zemeckis about it,” he explained. “And I said, ‘I think if the characters have money, if our characters are rich, it’s a bad message. That reward should not be in there.’ People love the movie, and of course who am I to say—I was 20 years old, though. And again, I was stepping into it from a time period of questioning. But Robert Zemeckis got really angry. Essentially, he did not like that idea. He was pissed.”

Glover continued saying, “It’s not that I dislike the entire film. There are things about the structure that are very solid, and there’s good writing behind it. But I still would argue all the things that people love about the film would still be there, and I think there would be a better message if, instead of the son character pumping his fist in the air or whatever, jumping up in the air because he has a new truck [in the new timeline], if instead the reward was that the mother and father characters are in love with each other. And that there’s the potential that money comes in. I think [equating their new riches with moral success] is a bad message. And this is aligned to those things in film that I’m saying serve the interests of a corporate element.”

Glover did not return for the role in Back to the Future II, so producers went with another actor, made to look like Glover with prosthetics .

They also used cutting-room footage from the first film, so Glover became incensed, filing a lawsuit against Universal and the film’s producer Bob Gale. Both parties settled out of court.

Bale doesn’t hate his role of the chainsaw-wielding, embossed business-card distributing mass murderer, Patrick Bateman, in American Psycho. And he’s not exactly displeased with his performance as Batman in Christopher Nolan’s trilogy, but Bale has spoken out about his distaste for his part in the beloved 1992 cult-hit musical Newsies.

The actor says that his youthful desire for respect led to many years of distaste for the film and the role. “At 17, you want to be taken very seriously,” he explained. “You don’t want to be doing a musical. Time healed those wounds. But it took a while.”

The Transformers franchise was the breakthrough for actress Megan Fox, but she hated working with director Michael Bay. The two clashed during production of the first two films.

When asked if she would return for the third film, Dark of the Moon, Fox answered, “Sure. I mean, I can’t sh*t on this movie because it did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don’t want to blow smoke up people’s ass. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting. And once you realize that, it becomes almost fun because you can be in the moment and go, ‘All right, I know that when he calls Action! I’m either going to be running or screaming, or both.’” In subsequent interviews, she told reporters that Bay was demeaning and misogynistic towards her. She claimed that part of her audition involved being filmed while washing Bay’s Ferrari.

Fox hated working with Bay so much that she compared him to Adolf Hitler. Fox said that he tried to “create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for.” After her comments, Fox was booted from the series. She and Bay did bury the hatchet, so she ended up playing April O’Neil in the live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies.

Before he was Dirk Diggler, Wahlberg went by the name Marky Mark. He felt overshadowed by his brother Donnie’s success in the band New Kids on the Block, so the younger Mark created his own musical group, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

They burst onto the scene in 1991 with the debut album Music for the People, which featured the hit single “Good Vibrations.” The band lasted for two years with Mark enjoying the time as the face and abs of Calvin Klein.

He dissolved the Funky Bunch in 1993 to pursue acting. Looking back, he’s embarrassed about those days as a pop star. “I thought I was so cool back then, but when I see the footage, I was such an ass,” he said.

The actor did try to shed his image as Marky Mark, but Wahlberg’s friends never let him live it down. “I remember seeing this thing on VH1, some Sexy People of the ’90s show,” he said. “My brother Paul was watching with me and my assistant – they were just killing themselves with laughter. To top it off, I was number one! So for ages after whenever they’d call, they’d be, ‘Can we speak to the Sexiest Man of the ’90s please?’ They keep killing me.”

Alec Guinness’s career was not made by his portrayal of Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. He had roles in other major films like Lawrence of Arabia, Great Expectations, Doctor Zhivago and The Bridge on the River Kwai, but it was Obi-Wan that re-popularized Guinness to a new generation of film-goers.

The story is that the classically-trained Guinness regretted taking the role of Kenobi. He felt that the dialogue was poorly written. Guinness hated the character so much that he immediately wanted to kill off Kenobi. As Star Wars became successful, Guinness’s animosity also grew exponentially.

In his autobiography, A Positively Final Appearance: A Journal, Guinness shares of when a young boy approached him for an autograph. The kid told Guinness that he was a huge Star Wars fan and had watched Episode IV: A New Hope over 100 times. Guinness agreed to the autograph, but on the condition that the boy never watch the film again.

James Cameron’s Titanic made over $2 billion worldwide and over $650 million domestic, making it the second-biggest blockbuster of all time (behind only Avatar). But why does Kate Winslet hate having portrayed Rose?

The film was rereleased in 3D, and Winslet had this to say: “Every single scene, I’m like ‘Really, really? You did it like that? Oh my God… Even my American accent, I can’t listen to it. It’s awful. Hopefully it’s so much better now. It sounds terribly self indulgent but actors do tend to be very self-critical. I have a hard time watching any of my performances, but watching Titanic I was just like, ‘Oh God, I want to do that again.’”

But it wasn’t just her performance that she hated.

She also revealed that the film’s theme song, Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” haunts her wherever she goes. “I did a talk show recently in Italy and they actually had a live pianist who started gently playing the theme song,” she says. “I was not even gently, rather severely, urged to go and sing it as though I had in fact sung it myself in the first place. It was like, ‘No! I’m not going to do that.’ They’re like, ‘Oh no, come on it will be funny.’ No, it won’t be funny. At all. And I’m not going to.”

At eight years old, Jake Lloyd got the role of Anakin Skywalker in the much anticipated Star Wars prequel, Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

In an interview, the reclusive Lloyd spoke of the disappointment of Episode I, saying, “When you have something like that there’s a lot of expectations for it to meet the standards of the public and I don’t think George did that.” He went on to say that the role resulted in almost immediate mockery. “Other children were really mean to me,” he said. “They would make the sound of the lightsaber every time they saw me. It was totally mad… My entire school life was really a living hell – and I had to do up to 60 interviews a day.”

The exposure of playing Skywalker became too overwhelming for him, so Lloyd decided to quit acting.

It was what their father would call, “an absolute fluke”, when photos of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were chosen by the casting director for Full House, and the rest is history. Everyone watched these girls grow up on television under one credit – Mary-Kate Ashley Olsen – years after people could tell them apart.

When the girls turned 17, they owned and managed everything they did. That’s when their true feelings and desires took over, and the sisters booked it.

They run a fashion empire, hiding from the public at any cost using their business. The desire to put Full House behind them was made clear when they declined to reprise their role on Fuller House, the sitcom’s Netflix revival.

This Gossip Girl arrived as Serena van der Woodsen on the classic TV series, launching Lively into a more diverse career, but she actually had a moral dilemma with the message her character sent out to her younger viewers.

“People loved it, but it always felt a little personally compromising—you want to be putting a better message out there,” she said.

“The lines become blurred.” She mentions her desire to distance herself from Serena’s persona. “I would not be proud to be the person who gave someone the cocaine that made them overdose and then shot someone and slept with someone else’s boyfriend.”

Shailene Woodley always speaks out about her moral obligations. She is an outspoken environmental advocate, and has used her fame to speak out regarding clean energy and even the personal health of your private matters.

It’s no surprise that she began disliking her role on The Secret Life of the American Teenager when the script didn’t align with her personal beliefs.

Woodley publicly stated her concerns. “Towards the end, morally, the things that we were preaching on that show weren’t really aligned with my own integrity,” she said. “So that was a bit hard to show up to work every day knowing that we were going to project all of these themes to thousands – millions – of young adults across the country, when in fact they weren’t what I would like to be sending out.”

Pattinson had a disdain for the part of Edward Cullen. With his sarcastic quips on Ellen to his own take on the script, he really wasn’t shy about it. In one interview, the actor did not hold back on his opinions regarding author Stephenie Meyer.

“When I read it, I was convinced that Stephenie was convinced that she was Bella. It was like it was a book that wasn’t supposed to be published, like reading her – her sort of sexual fantasy,” he shared.

“Especially when she says that it was based on a dream, and it’s like, ‘Oh, then I had a dream about this really sexy guy’ and she just writes this book about it, and there’s some things about Edward that are just so specific that… I was just convinced that this woman is mad, she’s completely mad,” he continued, “and she’s in love with her own fictional creation.”

Playing Princess Leia in Star Wars had Carrie Fisher saying this in her memoir/one-woman show Wishful Drinking,

“George Lucas ruined my life. And I mean that in the nicest possible way… George is a visionary. He has transported audiences the world over, and he’s provided Mark [Hamill] and Harrison [Ford] and myself with enough fanmail – and even a small merry band of stalkers – to keep us entertained for the rest of our unnatural lives.”

Fisher hated how Star Wars merchandise had her face on it, since that effectively turned her into a sex symbol. The late actress hated the instantly recognizable Leia braids, which made her face look too round according to her.

But what she hated most was that metal bikini from Return of the Jedi, which she felt over-sexualized her: “When I laid down, the metal bikini stayed up… So Boba Fett could see all the way to Florida.”
