9. Richard Gere
There was a time when silver fox Richard Gere and Italian tough guy Sylvester Stallone, were hired to work on a movie together. The Lords of Flatbush was the name of the movie, and the two actors weren’t well known in Hollywood yet. Unfortunately, they had some personality clashes. According to a rumor, during a lunch break on set, Gere got mustard on Stallone’s pants when they were both eating in Stallone’s car. As a result, the Rocky star elbowed Gere in the face before kicking him out of the vehicle. This is far from an appropriate response for a simple mistake, so we’re guessing that the two were feuding way before the lunch incident. Sylvester Stallone then gave the movie director an ultimatum, stating that either he would leave or Richard had to go. As a result, Gere was fired.
8. Eddie Vedder
Eddie Vedder will always be known as the lead singer of Pearl Jam. However, he may not have this legendary status if he wasn’t fired from his job as a security guard. Apparently, it’s not a good idea to play your guitar while on duty, but Vedder was obviously not aware of this. Or, maybe he just didn’t care and thought that an at-work jam session would help him pass the time. Maybe he was trying to make the people in the area feel safer. Okay, so we have to admit that a guitar solo probably isn’t appropriate when you’re on the job, and your job is not that of a guitar player. However, a simple warning to not play guitar while at work could have sufficed.
