Entertainment expert Mike, from LA, was kind enough to share his insights on what stars should keep in mind if they want to leave a good impression on those they work with and create a positive atmosphere in the workplace.

For one, maintaining a high level of professionalism on or off set, as well as having a strong work ethic, is vital. "Arrive on time, be prepared, and respect your colleagues' time and effort," Mike told Bored Panda. "Show dedication to your craft by putting in the necessary effort and taking your work seriously. Continuously strive to improve your skills and deliver your best performance."

It also helps if the talent embraces collaboration with their colleagues, from the director and their fellow actors to the entire production team. The celebrity expert suggests that the actors should be open to feedback and be willing to adapt to the needs of the project. The more flexible you are, the better. "Your ability to roll with the punches can be invaluable."

28 Of The Most Entitled Actors Ever, According To Movie Crew Members [I worked on] a TV set., James Corden is an absolute jack a*s, not the funny happy go lucky guy you see on TV.

AnonTvPerson added:
Can confirm. He has this thing where he won’t talk to anyone bar the most senior crew. He treats everyone else like cr*p. Once witnessed him have a meltdown because the script supervisor (who’s job is partly to ensure continuity and keep dialogue true to script) spoke to him directly when the Director was occupied (script supervisors normally filter issues via the director). He thinks he’s above everyone.
Just can’t compute people like that - we all started somewhere. Just be nice to people, particularly when they’re working hard to make you look good.

Celebrities should strive to keep open lines of communication with their coworkers. If they have any ideas or concerns, it's important to voice them constructively. Meanwhile, it's also essential to actively listen to others' perspectives, too.

Directors and production teams also value stars who can keep their ego in check. "Remember that the success of a project depends on the collective effort of the entire team, not just one individual," entertainment expert Mike reiterated to Bored Panda.

On top of that, you have to remember that many of the details related to your work projects probably shouldn't be revealed in public or to anyone privately. The expert pointed out just how important it is to respect the confidentiality of the scripts, and the info related to the production. "Avoid sharing spoilers or behind-the-scenes details without permission," he added.

But above everything is respect. "Treat everyone on set with respect and kindness, regardless of their role. A positive and respectful attitude can go a long way in creating a harmonious working environment," Mike said, adding that showing gratitude to the people who support you in your career goes a long way. It's also not only about you: "Recognize the contributions of the crew and fellow actors to the project's success," he noted.

It’s absolute common sense, but it’s essential to treat others like you’d want to be treated. The Golden Rule doesn’t go out of fashion, after all. However, common sense isn’t as common as you’d think, even among the _crème de la crème_ of Hollywood.

To put it bluntly, no matter how skilled and talented you are, if you treat others like garbage, eventually, nobody will want to work with you. What good is talent if you don’t have the soft skills to back it up with? ‘Regular’ movie and TV industry employees deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect that celebrities would offer other stars.

28 Of The Most Entitled Actors Ever, According To Movie Crew Members Not a movie set but has to do with entitled actors. I waited on Kirsten Dunst at Uma Thurman's sister engagement party out in the Hamptons. I went from having a celebrity crush on her to not being able to stand her by the end of the night. She ran out of cigarettes at one point and made a huge ordeal over the fact that when she asked staff for one no one had her brand (yellow american spirits). To be fair she was drunk as hell at this point. She demanded that someone go out and get her her cigarettes, and my manager made me oblige. I had to leave my entire section for about an hour to go on some crazy hunt during the peak of summer in the Hamptons to find her her yellow american spirits. After I finally went to give them to her she didn't say thank you or even make eye contact. She just reached out, took them out of my hands and pretended like I didn't exist.

Uma Thurman on the other hand was a delight. Very polite and respectful.

You won’t have a quality movie without a large team of dedicated, hard-working people. A star can’t do a hundred jobs at once—even they need support. Which you won’t get if you’re constantly throwing your weight around, showing off how much more important you are than everyone else. You need to stay grounded even when the entire world is chanting your name. And being optimistic about the project when things get tough can only help.

Now that’s not to say that all celebs are nasty and mean. That’s far from the case! There are plenty of A-listers, from Keanu Reeves and Tom Hanks to Paul Rudd and Dwayne Johnson, who are an utter delight to be around. What you see is what you get: smiles, charisma, and genuine care.

But it’s not like these beloved actors are perfect either. Everyone has a bad day once in a while. The stress of starring in projects that cost hundreds of millions of dollars can really get to you. Even Hanks, many people’s icon and Hollywood’s sweetheart, has admitted to this.

In defense of actors, on set some of them get deeply into their characters and they want to remain in their character bubble. They can't switch between character mode and dealing with people mode easily, so they ask to be left alone. It's the same as when you're at your job intensely focusing on something that needs all your attention and then being pulled out of that because someone wants to talk about their cat.

“Not everybody is at their best every single day on a motion picture set. I've had tough days trying to be a professional when my life has been falling apart in more ways than one and the requirement for me that day is to be funny, charming, and loving— and it's the last way I feel,” he told the BBC in an interview.

What Hanks does pride himself on is his punctuality. "What cannot occur on a motion picture is that someone cannot monkey around with the timing or the length of the shoot or the budget. That is a cardinal sin in the motion picture business. You will be amazed at how many people know that they can get away with it, and are told they can get away with it, because they are carrying the movie on their shoulders,” the actor opened up to the BBC.

In his new book, ‘The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece,’ Hanks referred to some actors who are “cry-babies, psychological train wrecks, on-the-wagon alcoholics, off-the-wagon addicts... and more than a couple of feuds between the Talent.”

Best “celebrity” I ever met was Ian Hanomansing from CBC news (🇨🇦). Growing up he was my mum’s favourite news anchor. It was hours after the 2011 Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver, my 19 yo self had just moved downtown so my friend and I were walking around at 2am and checking out the aftermath (it was a mess). We saw him and his camera crew across the road, and my friend - who had grown up with only 2 channels & 1 was CBC - recognized him immediately and freaked out and almost started crying. I remember him saying “wow usually my female fans are much older, this is different!” He then graciously interviewed us on cam about what we saw during the riot, but I’m sure he was just humouring us because we were both gushing and interrupting each other and our interview never aired 😝 I thought it was real cool of him to be kind like that (we had just moved from an extremely remote and rural area, so seeing a news anchor AND a huge riot where people were smashing and burning things was extra intense)

On occasion we’ll have a request that employee don’t speak directly to them or “look at them,” which means no eye contact. It’s my job to let them know that we will elevate every guest & employee. We’re more concerned with all people being treated equally as possble. From our gardeners to our guests. If that’s going to be a problem for them we suggest they book a different resort down the road, such as Fairmont or Four Seasons. Bottom line: we simply don’t have “room” for anyone who can’t peacefully enjoy a beach holiday without having to be put on a pedestal. As far as I’m aware, we’ve only had 4 guests decide to stay somewhere else & each of them are on this list. Keith Richards & fam & the Queer Eye guys are more fun than Corden or Kudrow anyways.

I was helping out one summer at a country fest (I hate country) and I remember one big named dude doing the whole "no eye contact" thing. Was disappointing to see. Then Montgomery Gentry came out and treated us like we were helping them with thanks and hand shakes. They were good people

My best celebrity meeting was with Mel C (Sporty Spice of the Spice Girls.) I met her at a charity dinner event where she was due to perform. I've been a fan of the Spice Girls since they started. Was so nervous to meet one. She could see I was nervous and when I asked if I could stand closer to her for a photo she gave me a big hug and put my arm around her waist. Ended up taking so many photos with her, she even got the pair of us to do a couple of photos with the Girl Power V- fingers (peace sign but Spice Girls used it al lot back in the day.)

The two people I have heard the most negative things about are Mariah Carey (singer,actor) and Jennifer Lopez (singer,actor). This is from people who have done their make-up and hair (to the tune of $10,000 per hour). Entitled as all get-out

What's wrong with a "no eyes rule"? Eye contact breaks concentration and could easily f*ck up a line of dialogue or a riff that they are working though in their head. What I really object to is the "no eyes rule" in at least three hospitals I could name.

I've worked security and stage door for entertainment and stage events as well as being a journalist and interviewing them. Very impressed by Bette Midler who made everyone she passed feel that she noticed them. Just a bit of a nod even though she was clearly getting into the zone. Usually the less likely you are to know their name, the worse they behave. Also, sometimes it's the hangers-on making outrageous demands, not the actual talent. BUT to answer your question, christina aguilera has been acknowledged as "the person most likely to be used as a human shield by her bodyguard".

These wankers ( so - called actors ) aren't the shoelace of real actors in the '20s - '60s. To overcome their " entitledness " they should visit poor 3rd world countries and see how people struggle through their existence, displaced by war, natural disasters, etc. Let them see the appalling state of millions of starving children. That may wake them up that they're living in a fantasy world.

Method actors are just people looking for an excuse to treat people like garbage. It's a sham.

I'd take these with a grain of salt. First of all, it's Reddit; second of all, everybody has off days.

Agree. Plus a few of these folks aren't well known so it's kinda like telling you my brother is a dbag. He is/was, but mostly to family.

Sometimes opinions on the same person can be drastically different. What you perceive as arrogance may be just tiredness and lack of interest, and niceness can be fake and shallow.

True. But I wouldn't bet on "Dr." Phil and James Corden being nice or good people. There have been multiple allegations against them.

I'm torn with posts like these. Celebrities have good and bad days as well. Plus, how do we know this actually really happened? Especially with the second hand stories.

I can't imagine people pawing at me every single day and me having to be a certain way for everyone just to please them. I imagine it's exhausting and frustrating.
