3. Star Wars
Two of the greatest companions in film history… hate each other. Or rather, Kenny Baker (R2D2) is eternally frustrated by the disdain Anthony Daniels (C3PO) clearly has for his co-star. According to Baker, Daniels has always been a rather awkward and antisocial person. A travesty to Baker who tried, numerous times, to get Daniels touring with him as the famous duo from Star Wars, but to no avail. The last time Baker spoke to Daniels, the very robotic man (given his lack of emotion), looked down his nose at Baker and walked away saying “I’m having a conversation”… there was no one else around. Baker’s frustration is more than well founded, given that that is how they last spoke. In addition to such ill treatment then, as before on set, Daniels offered this about his time with Baker: “I never saw him. I mean, R2-D2 doesn’t even speak. He might as well be a bucket.” What a sweetheart.
