In February, Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson reflected upon a transformative moment in her decades-long career, remembering a time on-set where an “idiot” A-list co-star made disparaging remarks towards her, ultimately prompting her to tell them to “F off.”
Although she did not name the individual, her comments went viral, with Internet sleuths quickly trying to ascertain the actor’s identity.
“I was not expecting that, by the way,” the “Dune: Part 2” star recently said on SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show” of her commentary gaining traction, confessing that a litany of former co-stars had since contacted her in a frenzy.
“Yes, I kind of enjoyed the grab,” Ferguson admitted of the attention. “But I realized, even at the age that I am now…it doesn’t matter. When you sit and do interviews…cause I’m me, right? I definitely think that I’m much more open. I also know where my boundaries are. But the point of the interview wasn’t about finding the person. Of course people will be interested.”
Ferguson said divulging her story wasn’t about naming the individual, but rather highlighting her strength.
“The point was, ‘Is there a point in your career where you were treated in a way where you changed your decision on either – this is how I formulated in myself – You want change or you will not accept it, etcetera.
