😲 “I Never Liked Them” — At 88, Robert Redford Drops List of 7 Actors He Hated MOST!

Hollywood royalty usually keeps their feuds quiet. But Robert Redford, the legendary star of The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, just shook the industry with a bold, unfiltered confession: at 88 years old, he’s naming names — seven actors he says he “couldn’t stand” during his decades-long career.

Fans were stunned. The man known for his calm charm and classy demeanor has always stayed away from tabloid drama. But during a recent interview with the Golden Lens Archive Project, a private documentary series chronicling the final reflections of Hollywood legends, Redford surprised everyone.

“I’m too old to pretend now,” he said with a grin. “There were a few actors I worked with — or tried to — that just made the whole experience miserable.”

The Unexpected List That’s Causing A Stir

According to leaked notes from the interview, which was recorded in late May at Redford’s ranch in Utah, the list includes some very big names:

Warren Beatty – “He always thought he was the smartest guy in the room. Wouldn’t listen to directors. Wouldn’t listen to anyone.”

Bruce Willis – “Zero humility. Every take was a battle.”

Barbra Streisand – “Tough to say, but the ego… wow. She directed me once, and I swore I’d never do it again.”

Sean Penn – “Always intense. Too intense. He took the fun out of it.”

Tommy Lee Jones – “Brilliant actor. Terrible attitude. Cold as ice on set.”

Richard Gere – “Never felt present. Always somewhere else in his head.”

Chevy Chase – “Unprofessional. That’s all I’ll say.”

The revelations came casually — no bitterness, just honesty. Redford even added, “They’re all talented. Some are icons. But that doesn’t mean they were easy to work with.”

Fans React: Shock, Applause, and Some Heated Debate

Once the names hit the internet, social media practically exploded. On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag #RedfordSaidIt trended for over 24 hours. Reactions ranged from surprised respect to total disbelief:

“Robert Redford calling out Warren Beatty is WILD. That’s Sundance-level shade.” — @FilmNerd88

“Barbra Streisand? I thought they were besties after The Way We Were! This is tea!” — @PopCultureJunkie

“He’s 88 and earned the right to speak his truth. And I’m here for it.” — @GoldenEraGal

On TikTok, Gen Z movie fans discovered a spicier side to the aging heartthrob, remixing his quotes with dramatic zoom-ins and old Hollywood footage. One viral comment read: “Redford really said ‘no filter, no regrets’ and dropped the mic!”

Old Feuds, New Light

This isn’t the first time some of these tensions were hinted at. Rumors about Redford’s on-set discomfort during The Way We Were have circulated for years, despite the film’s critical success. And insiders from the 1990s have long whispered about creative clashes between Redford and Bruce Willis on a scrapped project that never made it past pre-production.

As for Chevy Chase — the most controversial name on the list — this isn’t new. Chase has a notorious Hollywood reputation for being difficult, with former SNL co-stars and directors openly criticizing his conduct.

Still, no one expected Redford — always the gentleman — to come forward now.

Why Now?

According to the filmmakers behind Golden Lens Archive Project, Redford wasn’t trying to stir up drama. The series aims to give legendary figures a space to reflect authentically on their lives, no cameras, no publicists, just the truth. “He spoke with clarity, kindness — but also honesty,” said one producer. “He wanted this to be real.”

And Redford himself said it best: “This business is built on smoke and mirrors. I think it’s time to show people what was behind the curtain.”

One More Surprise: Who He Loved Working With

The interview wasn’t all negative. Redford also praised several actors, including Paul Newman, Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep, and Denzel Washington — calling them “the kind of people who made acting a joy, not a chore.”

Fans appreciated the balance, saying it gave more weight to the criticisms. “He’s not being a grump. He’s just being real,” one fan wrote.
