In the world of celebrity gossip stories, none are more powerful than the ‘X is a diva’ mic drop – which has become so much easier to do in the age of social media.
Today’s firing line recipient is none other than Mariah Carey, who apparently acted somewhat unreasonably on the set for the new Will Ferrell movie The House. Just a day ago, Ferrell himself popped up on Late Night With Seth Meyers to discuss the film, where he hinted at her antics and said that her scene had been cut.
Now, co-star Cedric Yarbrough has dished on precisely what Carey got up to on set, all of which sounds exactly like what you would expect Mariah Carey to act like on a movie set.
The best bit is absolutely here:
It’s rumoured that she eventually showed up to set. This is true. But after waiting for her for 3-4 hours! While we waited the director & team had the idea of doing a stunt that Mariah’s body double would do now & bring in Mariah to match it. They do the stunt. All goes well. When Mariah finally showed up she refused to match the stunt. “Darling, I would never do it that way…”. I heard her say those exact words. She then requested a large fan for her hair to be blown around and a camera that would be above her, basically a crane shot.
With all due respect, I absolutely endorse the request to have a crane with an enormous fan blowing her hair around perfectly in every shot, like a fuckin’ Steve Vai concert.
“This lady was unprofessional and borderline abusive to our director, who tried his best to appease her every wish,” Yarbrough goes on to say.
In the acting community, it’s not very good form to ‘tell’ on your fellow actors. They could be having a bad day, going through some personal things, & maybe Mariah was, I don’t know. But I do know that our crew didn’t deserve that, our director didn’t.
He also says that he left out the ‘worst’ of her behaviour.
Mariah, fans: I’m sorry. You will not be seeing her in the new Will Ferrell movie, not even for a moment.
