Rebecca Ferguson explains why she won't name 'idiot' co-star who screamed at her

"It wasn't about the person. It was about me. It was so scary. I didn't know then how to go, 'Hey, can I talk to you privately?' Now, I would want to believe that I could have taken this person aside," she argued. "A lot of people say that we've become too woke, but I think, no, it's great. The pendulum needs to swing to the other side so that we can find a balance in between."

"'I was f***ing furious when they were slagging off Ryan Reynolds. I loved working with him. He was f***ing amazing,' she said. 'And I know it's interesting from a media point of view, but my intention was never to throw someone under the bus. The whole point was that I learned something from it. Some people push [that kind of thing] down. Some people don't talk about it. But I have no problem standing up for myself.'"

Rebecca Ferguson described being verbally accosted on a film set by an "absolute idiot of a co-star" and refused to name the person, emphasizing the incident concerned her experience and fear rather than the individual's identity. She described feeling scared and uncertain how to address the situation privately and now believes she could have taken the person aside. Ferguson welcomed a cultural shift toward accountability while calling for balance. She ruled out Hugh Jackman, Tom Cruise and Ryan Reynolds as the co-star, praised Cruise for creating a safe, playful professional set, and defended her intent to learn from the incident rather than blame publicly.
