During the podcast, Rebecca revealed that there is one 'absolute idiot of a co-star' she will never work with again after how they treated her on the set of a previous film - but confirmed it was not Hugh Jackman or Tom Cruise , who she acted alongside in The Greatest Showman and Mission Impossible.
'I remember there was a moment and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn't get the scenes out,' she said. 'And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at.
'But because this person was number one on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me. So no one had my back. And I would cry walking off set.'
Rebecca recalled that the co-star would say things to her on set like 'You call yourself an actor?', 'This is what I have to work with?', and 'What the f**k is this?,' in front of the whole crew.
'I stood there just breaking,' she said.
