The Mystery Unveiled: Unraveling the Identity of Rebecca Ferguson's Scream Source

Social media is abuzz with speculation over the identity of the person who screamed at Rebecca Ferguson. Here is a comprehensive breakdown of potential co-stars who may be responsible.

Rebecca Ferguson is a highly acclaimed actress known for her outstanding performances in films like Doctor Sleep, The Greatest Showman, and the Mission: Impossible series. She is a prominent figure in the entertainment industry and continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Starting her acting journey in Swedish soap operas, the 40-year-old has become a familiar presence in Hollywood, distinct from the British singer with the same name.

Set to appear in Dune: Part Two, Rebecca Ferguson finds herself embroiled in a fresh controversy. Here is a comprehensive look at the speculations surrounding the identity of the individual who yelled at her.

Who yelled at Rebecca Ferguson?

Rebecca Ferguson has been making headlines online recently due to a revelation she made in a recent interview. The actress disclosed that a former co-star had "screamed at" her while on set.

Explaining to Josh Smith on the Reign podcast the moment she felt most proud to use her voice, Ferguson recalled a film she worked on with a challenging co-star. She described the individual as insecure and angry, struggling to deliver their scenes effectively.

I experienced vulnerability and discomfort to the point of being screamed at on set. It would bring me to tears as I walked away from the situation. The individual would openly criticize me in front of the entire crew, questioning my abilities as an actor and the quality of my work.

Despite such incidents being somewhat common in the industry, this particular situation was made worse by the fact that this person held a position of power as number one on the call sheet. There was no support system for me, no one standing up for me in that moment. I vividly recall mustering the courage to confront the individual the following day, firmly telling them to leave the set.

Fans across social media have suggested a list of names who might fit the criteria based on Ferguson’s comments, though nothing has officially been confirmed.

“I remember being so scared and I looked at this person and I said ‘you can f**k off, I’m going to work towards a tennis ball. I never want to see you again.’ I was so scared and I feel it now as I’m saying it, but from that moment I have never let myself get to a point where I’ve gone home and gone, ‘why did that happen?'”

One of the first names to be suggested was Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson, who collaborated with Ferguson on the 2014 film Hercules. Despite this, he was the initial individual to openly endorse her following the remarks, expressing on X/Twitter: “Dislike witnessing this, but admire her standing up to nonsense. Rebecca was my protector sent from above on our set. I adore that lady. I want to discover who was behind this.”

Some fans speculate that The Rock's quick show of support for Jessica Fletcher's transformation may not be as genuine as it seems. "This tweet is suspicious," one fan comments, while another agrees, "That’s IMMEDIATELY 100% what I was also thinking." It appears that The Rock might be trying to divert attention and control the narrative. However, the truth will eventually be revealed.

Rebecca Ferguson starred alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the 2017 epic sci-fi film Life, amidst rumors of his questionable behavior. However, these reports were not directly related to the movie itself. Gyllenhaal was also embroiled in controversy surrounding his film Suddenly, with allegations suggesting he had a negative impact on the project.

While there is no concrete evidence of any issues between Ferguson and Gyllenhaal or on the set of Life, Gyllenhaal's history of erratic behavior appears to be following him in this situation. The Guardian supported this notion during the film's press tour, noting the actor's reluctance to discuss his personal life.

Tom Cruise

Rebecca Ferguson has worked alongside Tom Cruise in the Mission: Impossible franchise, where they starred together. Ferguson's character was killed off in the last movie, indicating she may not return for the final installment in the series. Despite this, Cruise is recognized for his amiable and accessible nature, as mentioned by Ferguson in past interviews. She once mentioned in 2017 that Cruise sends her encouraging emails and checks in on others, highlighting his caring nature.

Some fans remain skeptical, with one pointing out that Rebecca Ferguson has previously worked with Tom Cruise, who is known for his tendency to yell at people on set.

Ferguson later explained that she has only felt empowered to stand up for herself in the past decade or so, potentially indicating that Cruise may not be the cause of her past experiences.

Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman, another actor recognized for his disarming charm and positive reputation, has collaborated with Rebecca Ferguson on multiple occasions. Fans have eagerly included him in the list of names. One tweet exclaims, "GUYS IT'S HUGH JACKMAN WHO YELLED AT REBECCA FERGUSON END OF DISCUSSION."

However, there’s also no concrete evidence here, with Ferguson stating in the same 2017 interview that Jackman is a “potpourri of scrumptiousness.”

Hugh Grant

One social media post suggests that Hugh Grant could be the one who offended Rebecca Ferguson, considering his recent reputation in press interviews. Grant starred alongside Ferguson in the 2016 movie Florence Foster Jenkins. However, it is possible that Grant may be ruled out due to not being the number one on the call sheet.

The leading lady of the film, Meryl Streep, would likely hold the top spot on the call sheet. Interestingly, Streep's name has also been brought up in discussions following tweets that speculated Ferguson's offender could be a woman. One fan even suggested, "I can’t be the only person who thinks Rebecca Ferguson was talking about Meryl Streep. I know it’s probably a man, but she was very careful to not specify gender.”

Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender, a popular speculative choice for Universal Pictures, starred alongside Rebecca Ferguson in the 2017 film The Snowman. There have been comments on social media about Fassbender's alleged violent history following reports of him being accused of domestic abuse in August 2023.

However, there is currently no evidence to suggest that there were any problems on the set of their crime thriller.

Emily Blunt

According to the Daily Mail, speculation about Emily Blunt being the subject of Rebecca Ferguson's comments has been dismissed. A spokesperson stated that Rebecca and Emily are friends and have a strong bond between them.

Other actors rumored for various projects include Chris Hemsworth for Men In Black: International, Ewan McGregor for Doctor Sleep, and even 17-year-old Jacob Tremblay, who appeared in Doctor Sleep alongside Ferguson.
