Actors Who Blamed Co-Stars For Their Movie Bombs

In the 2018 crime drama “Billionaire Boys Club,” a group of young men in the 1960s quickly find wealth through a Los Angeles-based Ponzi scheme, but soon find themselves at the center of controversy and implicated in the murder of a character played by Kevin Spacey. The ensemble cast also included Taron Egerton, Ansel Elgort, Emma Roberts, Jeremy Irvine, and Judd Nelson.

The film wrapped at the end of 2016, shortly before actor Anthony Rapp made allegations of sexual misconduct against Spacey. According to The Guardian, more accusations followed over the subsequent months and police in the UK and the US began to investigate the actor. The controversy over Spacey’s involvement in “Billionaire Boys Club” meant that it had a very limited theatrical release, according to The Wrap, with the film showing in just 10 theaters around the US.

Co-star Egerton told The Sunday Telegraph that the movie was a disappointment on multiple fronts and admitted that its story may not have been very appealing to moviegoers. However, he also put much of the blame directly on Spacey, saying, “it’s sad that his professional demise threw such a shadow over our film.” From this statement, it’s clear that Egerton believes Spacey’s behavior effectively was responsible for at least some of the film’s poor performance.
