The Batman star Robert Pattinson hated playing forever-teenage vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight series so much that there's no shortage of memes on the subject—despite the fact that the role propelled him into stardom almost instantly. There are enough quotes about his distaste for the fantasy-romance franchise to fill a book, but when talking to Variety about the movies in 2019, he really didn't hold back.

"It's a weird story, Twilight. It's not just like—it's strange how people responded a lot to it. I guess the books are very romantic, but at the same time, it's not likeAng kwaderno romantic," he said. "Ang kwaderno is very sweet and heartbreaking, but Twilight is about this guy, and he finds the one girl he wants to be with, and he also wants to eat her. I mean, not eat her, but drink her blood or whatever. It's not that other people are telling them they can't be together, it's his own body telling him that."

George Reeves played the title hero in the series The Adventures of Superman, which aired from 1952 to 1958. But despite how many actors would love to play some iteration of Clark Kent, Reeves just wasn't into it, mostly because it resulted in him being typecast.

"The only rub in playing Superman is that I have a tough time finding other roles. Most movie producers feel I'm too closely identified with Superman, so won't use me," Reeves told the Akron Beacon Journal in 1956, via Closer Weekly.

And according to what Gary Grossman, author of Superman: Serial to Cereal, told the outlet, the late actor Reeves also once told his Superman co-star, Jack Larson, that he didn't love being on a kids show. "If I only knew I had adult fans, I'd feel better. I'd be happy," he supposedly said.

Though Sean Connery went on to have a successful career until his death in 2020, many fans will always think of him as James Bond. After all, he did portray 007 in the franchise's first six movies. As reported by Ang tagapag-bantay, Connery once said, "I have always hated that [expletive] James Bond. I'd like to kill him."

It seems as though Connery's distaste for the role may have been more about the business side of making the Bond films over any issue with the character, however.

"It can be done, you see, if there's money at stake. I'd been frigged about too much on other Bond pictures. There's so much [expletive] that comes from bad decisions being made at the top," he said of his exit, ayon kayExpress. "I admire efficiency, like watching a good racehorse or the way Picasso works, where everything functions perfectly within its capacity. But talking to some of these moguls about it is like trying to describe to someone who has never taken exercise what it is like to feel fit when you do exercise. They don't understand."

Of playing the dashing Captain von Trapp in 1965's Ang tunog ng musika, Christopher Plummer sinabiThe Boston Globe sa 2010 that he didn't like anything about making the movie—minus working with the now-legendary Julie Andrews.AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB.

"I was a bit bored with the character,'' Plummer, who died in February 2021, said at the time. "Although we worked hard enough to make him interesting, it was a bit like flogging a dead horse. And the subject matter is not mine. I mean it can't appeal to every person in the world. Hindi ito ang aking tasa ng tsaa.''

Blake Lively is one of the most famous women in Hollywood, today, but when she was cast in the original version of the teen soap Babaeng tsismosa, which premiered in 2007, she was still just beginning her career. As big as playing Serena van der Woodsen was for career, however, Lively felt that the role was "personally compromising."

"You want to be putting a better message out there," she told Allure in 2015, via Harper's Bazaar. "It's a weird thing when people feel like they know you really well, and they don't… 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."

Halle Berry has been a hot Hollywood get since the 1990s and even has an Oscar. But her bid to lead a major comics franchise both began and ended with the 2004 flop, Catwoman. Despite giving it her all, Berry was quick to join in with the haters in poking fun at the badly received movie, even appearingin-person to accept the Razzie for Worst Actress of the year and encouraging the audience to "read the script" before taking on a project in her speech.

"First of all, I want to thank Warner Brothers for putting me in a piece-of-[expletive], godawful movie," Berry said at the Razzies. "It was just what my career needed! I was at the top, and then Catwoman just plummeted me to the bottom. Love it! It's hard being on top. It's much better being on the bottom."

In a 2021 interview with Vanity Fair, Berry revealed that she set her Razzie on fire as a way to move on from the disappointment.

Kate Winslet had already earned some rave reviews for earlier roles, but nothing could compare to the attention she received for the record-smashing 1997 blockbuster Titanicand her role as stifled rich girl Rose DeWitt Bukater. Watching it back, the star can't help but question some of her own acting choices, however.

"Every single scene, I'm like, 'Really, really? You did it like that?'" she told CNN in 2012. "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 watchingTitanic, I was just like, 'Oh god, I want to do that again.'"

How I Met Your Mother fans found it easy to fall in love with Ted Mosby's best friend Marshall Eriksen. Jason Segelwas initially fond of him too, but in a 2010 interview with GQ, he admitted that, though he felt like "the luckiest guy in the world" being cast, he felt the story had run its course. The show would run for four more seasons after he made those comments.

"When your idol is Peter Sellers, playing one character for eight years isn't what you're trying to do. I don't really feel like I have that much more to offer with this character," the actor said at the time.

Ang tulong was a big moment in Viola Davis' career. While she'd found success as a stage actor before that, the 2011 movie launched her into big-screen stardom and even landed her a Best Actress Oscar nomination. But the film, based on the novel of the same name about Black maids and white housewives in '60s Mississippi, isn't viewed in a positive light by everyone—and that includes its star. Davis told Vanity Fair in 2020 that she regrets taking the role because the movie was "created in the filter and the cesspool of systemic racism."

"There's no one who's not entertained by Ang tulong," she said. "But there's a part of me that feels like I betrayed myself, and my people, because I was in a movie that wasn't ready to [tell the whole truth]."
