Oliver Stone criticized Robert Downey Jr.’s inappropriate jokes for spoiling his famous 1994 thriller.
The director was not pleased with Downey’s off-color humor during the making of the film, feeling it detracted from the movie’s serious tone. Stone believed that Downey’s behavior on set disrupted the atmosphere and impacted the overall quality of the production.
“His jokes were out of place,” Stone remarked, expressing his frustration. The filmmaker had envisioned a different vibe for the movie, one that was intense and gripping, but felt that Downey’s antics undermined this vision.
Sometimes, people just don’t get along on set, and it can really affect the final product.
Despite their differences, both Stone and Downey have continued to have successful careers in Hollywood. However, this incident remains a point of contention between them.
