Rebecca Ferguson disclosed that she declined to collaborate with a past workmate ever again due to his unruly behavior of yelling and swearing at her while on set.
During an episode of the Reign with Josh Smith podcast on Tuesday, the 40-year-old Swedish actress reminisced about the moment she spoke up for herself on set.
The actress from Dune stated that she collaborated with a coworker who was an "utter imbecile" and was also the highest ranking actor on set. The coworker had yelled at her and asked, "Are you really an actor? What the hell is this?"
"I worked on a movie with a co-worker who was not intelligent at all. It's not important to mention who it was. I'll attempt to keep that a secret."
She made it clear that neither Hugh Jackman nor Tom Cruise, her co-stars in The Greatest Showman or Mission Impossible, were the ones she was referring to.
I recollect a time when a particular individual was feeling very unsure of themselves and frustrated because they were unable to produce the required scenes. They became enraged and shouted at me. I was left feeling exposed and uneasy as a result.
At the premiere of Dune, Ferguson was captured in photographs.

However, as this individual held the top position on the list of those who were to receive a call, I did not have any support. Thus, no one was there to assist or protect me. This caused me to feel emotional and shed tears as I left the filming location.
This individual would actually stare at me in front of everyone and utter phrases like 'You claim to be an actor?', 'This is my team?', and 'What on earth is this?', in front of the whole team. 'I felt shattered just standing there,' she further stated.
Ferguson was hoping for the backing of the producers at that point, but sadly stated that she had no one by her side.
Nonetheless, she asserted that upon her return to the filming the following day, she opted to express her opinion and instructed the individual to vacate the premises stating: "Please exit my workspace. I will cooperate with a tennis ball instead. I entertain no desire to cross paths with you in the future."

She recalled feeling extremely frightened and stated that she had looked directly at the individual in question and blatantly told them to leave her alone.
According to her statements, the team responsible for production was incapable of requesting the departure of the performer from the filming location due to their status as the top priority.
According to Ferguson, she made it clear that she would only perform with her co-star's back facing the camera.
Before transitioning to Hollywood roles, Ferguson appeared in several Swedish television shows and movies.
She stated that she later spoke with the director after the incident and questioned why her fellow actor's conduct was permitted to persist.
The head of the organization acknowledged, 'You are correct. I am disregarding the wellbeing of others and focusing solely on one individual. This is due to the fact that this particular situation is highly precarious.'
Rebecca Ferguson and Tom Cruise star in the action-packed film, 'Mission Impossible.'
"That moment felt amazing, but it took quite a while for me to reach it. It happened in the past 10 or 12 years, even though I had been acting since I was 16," she explained.
Towards the conclusion of the podcast episode, Ferguson made a false attempt to disclose the identity of the prominent celebrity by uttering: "I have the name of the person right here..." and then ceased abruptly with a chuckle.
Ferguson has once again taken on the character of Lady Jessica, who is the mother of Paul Atreides played by Timothée Chalamet, in the upcoming movie Dune: Part Two. The film will hit theaters on Friday, March 1st.
