Los Angeles, CA – Two Hollywood heavyweights, Jerry Seinfeld and Hugh Grant, found themselves at odds during the filming of their upcoming movie “Unfrosted.” Seinfeld, known for his comedic prowess, openly criticized Grant, labeling him as a “pain in the ass” to work with on set.
The tensions between the two stars reportedly arose from numerous disagreements and clashes during the production of the film. Seinfeld, who also directed the movie about the origin of Pop-Tarts, expressed his frustration with Grant’s behavior, calling him “horrible” during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
Grant, who plays the role of Thurl Ravenscroft in the film, incited Seinfeld’s ire with what the actor described as difficult and challenging behavior on set. Despite their on-set conflicts, the two actors managed to put their differences aside after a night out for dinner, which Seinfeld fondly recalled as “the greatest night.”
Seinfeld’s decision to cast Grant in the film came as a surprise, as the actor initially did not envision Grant in the role. However, Grant’s eagerness and initiative to audition for the part led to his inclusion in the cast alongside other talented actors such as Melissa McCarthy, Dan Levy, Fred Armisen, and James Marsden.
The Netflix film, set to debut in May, explores the origins of Pop-Tarts and promises to deliver a comedic take on the popular breakfast pastry. Seinfeld, who drew inspiration for the project from his stand-up comedy bit about Pop-Tarts, expressed his excitement about expanding the concept into a full-length feature film during the coronavirus pandemic.
The experience of working together on “Unfrosted” may have started off rocky for Seinfeld and Grant, but it seems that the two stars were able to find common ground and appreciation for each other’s talents in the end. Despite their initial challenges, their collaboration resulted in a successful and entertaining film that is sure to captivate audiences when it premieres.
