7 Secret Reasons Actors Were Fired Right On Set

There is usually controversy and justification when a famous person is removed from production. However, there are instances when production judges what does and does not look good, and they are the ones who make the call on whether or not to keep a celebrity on board. When it initially happens, it’s usually all everyone can speak about since it’s such major news. Let's find out the Reasons Actors Were Fired right on set.
Even famous people have regular life struggles like the rest of us. Fortunately, they can brush these concerns under the rug because there is always fresh drama to discuss. These are the seven reasons why actors get fired.

7. Ryan Gosling

With his good looks and acting ability, it's impossible to see Ryan Gosling getting dismissed. Producers are battling for him to be in their movies. Gosling was slated to play Jack Salmon, the murder victim's father, in The Lovely Bones. Gosling thought Jack to be a little heavier, but producers disagreed. He ate junk food and melted ice cream to acquire weight. Gosling's weight increase angered producers when filming began. Because of this, he was dismissed.

6. Megan Fox

Megan Fox is noted for her features, body, and Transformers role. She played Mikaela Barnes in the first two Movies and Dark of the Moon. Fox said filmmaker Michael Bay was a nightmare to deal with and was like Hitler, domineering and wanted things his way. Fox was dismissed after making these comments. The rest is history. Bay said it wasn't only her words; she was uninterested on set, making her difficult to work with. Without Megan, Transformers wasn't the same.

5. Robert Downey Jr.

He played Ally McBeal's love interest. Downey battled booze and drugs. In 2001, he got sacked after being arrested for drug use in public. This was the last straw for producers, as he'd been arrested on drug charges months earlier. Downey brought honors and views to the event. Seeing him leave in such bad shape was sad.

4. Taylor Momsen

Taylor Momsen played Jenny Humphrey on the book-turned-TV-show Gossip Girl. We witnessed Momsen go through difficult periods and become herself on the show. That individual was not the naive teenager we met. Momsen formed The Pretty Reckless and got into music, smoking, and rock 'n' roll. She had an attitude problem and diva behavior, say producers and others on set.
She was usually on her phone and never learned her lines. Producers sacked her as a primary cast member and only required her when necessary. We guess she's not that innocent.

3. Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan has struggled with arrests, DUIs, and other difficulties throughout her career. In 2010, she was cast in The Other Side, her first role in a few years. She got fired from the movie, though. Lohan didn't have a tantrum or diva attitude like previous sacked stars. Producers thought she wasn't "bankable" and sacked her. Lohan was replaced in the film and has since struggled to rebuild her career.

2. Conan O’Brien

Conan O'Brien got into trouble in 2010 over who would host The Tonight Show. NBC assured O'Brien, host of Late Night since 1993, that he would take over The Tonight Show in 2009 if he renewed his contract. In 2009, O'Brien replaced Leno as Tonight Show host. NBC didn't want to lose Leno, so they gave him a prime-time show.
NBC proposed moving Leno to The Tonight Show's regular 11:35 pm time slot and O'Brien back a half hour due to low ratings. O'Brien declined to move time slots because of the change. NBC settled with O'Brien for $45 million and named Leno the Tonight Show host again. O'Brien hosted Conan on TBS. Dramatic!

1. Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen's meltdowns involving "tiger blood" and "winning" are well-known. Two and a Half Men producers were fed up with his antics and drug use. Sheen was uncooperative on set due to drug use, among other factors. He also insulted the show's producer, Chuck Lorre.
They first agreed to pause production so Sheen could seek therapy and attend rehab. His bad behavior was the reason for this, but fans expected it. Ashton Kutcher replaced Sheen, transforming the show. He wasn't "winning," apparently
