Even Hollywood’s most gifted and celebrated actors have had their fair share of movie duds, with many vocally acknowledging their performance woes. Regardless of whether fans and critics love or loathe these buzzed about roles and flicks, the talent behind the characters may not always share the same sentiment. Whether it was a passion project gone awry, an ill-conceived screenplay or simply an opportunity to make a quick buck, actors have gotten more open and honest about their career mishaps.

Halle Berry famously condemned her part as the lead heroine in the critically-panned superhero film Catwoman, just like George Clooney nobly shouldered much of the blame for the trainwreck that was Batman & Robin. From big budget blockbusters to beloved cinema classics, movie stars have not been afraid to express their disdain over their own portrayals in such pictures. Let’s take a peek at some actors who vocally hated their own performances.

George Clooney (Batman & Robin)

It's hard to think of a film that has been the subject of as much vitriolic negativity and ridicule over the years as the widely panned 1997 dud Batman & Robin, in which George Clooney dons the famous batsuit (rubber nipples and all) and takes on the iconic role of the caped crusader. While there are a plethora of reasons why the Joel Schumacher installment failed to resonate with both audiences and critics, all of which contributed to the flick being deemed one of the worst of all time, leading man Clooney was given arguably the most venom.

The actor has been extremely vocal over his own regrets making the film since its initial release, having once told Howard Stern, "The truth of the matter is, I was bad in it. Akiva Goldsman — who’s won the Oscar for writing since then — he wrote the screenplay. And it’s a terrible screenplay, he’ll tell you. I’m terrible in it, I’ll tell you. Joel Schumacher, who just passed away, directed it, and he’d say, ‘Yeah, it didn’t work.’ We all whiffed on that one.'"

Kate Winslet (Titanic)

Despite being one of the highest grossing blockbuster hits of all time and nabbing a whopping 11 Academy Awards, Titanic breakout star Kate Winslet is less-than-pleased with her portrayal as first class passenger Rose DeWitt Bukater in the James Cameron epic disaster romance picture. Winslet became a household name with her role as Rose, who falls in love with third-class passenger Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) on the ill-fated luxury liner. The sensational actress went on to rightfully receive an Oscar nod for her riveting performance, but she surprisingly doesn't appreciate what she brought to the groundbreaking film.

When Titanic was re-released in 3D in 2012, Winslet told The Telegraph, "Every single scene, I’m like ‘Really, really? You did it like that? Oh my God… Even my American accent, I can’t listen to it. It’s awful...I have a hard time watching any of my performances, but watching Titanic I was just like, ‘Oh God, I want to do that again.’”

Halle Berry (Catwoman)

Halle Berry has notoriously expressed her own disdain towards appearing in the universally-panned 2004 superhero flick Catwoman, famously accepting her Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress in person at the 2005 ceremony and referring to the adaptation as "a piece of [expletive], godawful movie" while sarcastically declaring "It was just what my career needed." Catwoman was largely criticized for its special effects, screenplay, pacing and performances (among many other reasons) and went on to earn a mere 8% Rotten Tomatoes approval rating, being deemed one of the cinema's worse films ever created.

Berry once again discussed Catwoman's unsavory legacy in 2020, expressing her lack of say with the picture and stating, "I remember having that argument: ‘Why can’t Catwoman save the world like Batman and Superman do? Why is she just saving women from a face cream that cracks their face off?’”

Colin Farrell (Miami Vice)

Michael Mann directed the 2006 crime action drama Miami Vice, an adaptation of the hit 1980s series that follows detectives James "Sonny" Crocket (Colin Farrell) and Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) as they go undercover in South Florida to stop dangerous drug traffickers. Though it initially garnered mixed reviews from moviegoers and critics, the film has gone on to develop a more favorable reputation and is now considered a cult favorite.

Though Colin Farrell may be 2022's best actor, and has since appeared in lauded pictures like In Bruges, The Lobster, and most recently The Banshees of Inisherin, Farrell was not proud of his work in the Mann drama and once said, "I didn't like it so much. I thought it was style over substance, and I accept a good bit of the responsibility. I just completely fell to [expletive] on that one."

Christopher Plummer (The Sound of Music)

Widely regarded as one of the finest films of all time, the 1965 musical drama The Sound of Music tells the story of a kind governess (Julie Andrews) who falls in love with both a widow and his colorful seven children in Austria on the cusp of World War II. The Oscar-winning picture went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time for five years and featured unforgettable songs like the titular tune, "Maria" and "My Favorite Things", cementing its place as a beloved, if historically inaccurate, cinematic triumph.

Christopher Plummer starred opposite Andrews as Captain von Trapp, and despite the film's legendary status, he was not enthused with his seemingly stuffy character. He explained in an interview, "Although we worked hard enough to make him interesting, it was a bit like flogging a dead horse. And the subject matter is not mine. I mean it can’t appeal to every person in the world. It’s not my cup of tea.”

Nicole Kidman (Australia)

Nicole Kidman is a chameleonic actress who has brilliantly transformed for almost every role she takes on, winning numerous prestigious accolades throughout her career including an Oscar and impressive six Golden Globe Awards.

When she appeared alongside Hugh Jackman in the 2008 romantic epic drama Australia, she portrayed an English aristocrat who falls in love with a drover just as World War II begins and the devastating bombing of Darwin occurs. Kidman does not believe her performance was anything to brag about, revealing to a Sydney radio station, "I can’t look at this movie and be proud of what I’ve done. It’s just impossible for me to connect to it emotionally."

Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra)

Channing Tatum has established himself as a bona fide leading man in Hollywood, delivering stellar performances in hit films like Magic Mike, 21 Jump Street and The Lost City. The actor is no stranger to headlining thrilling action flicks, demonstrating his physical prowess time and time again and dazzling audiences. His role as Duke in the action extravaganza G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and its follow-up sequel should have been perfect for the movie star, but he did not reflect fondly on the experience or his portrayal.

During an interview with Howard Stern, Tatum declared, "I’ll be honest. I [expletive] hate that movie. I was pushed into doing it. The script wasn’t any good. And I didn’t want to do something that I — that I was a fan of since I was a kid and watched every morning growing up — and didn’t want to do something that was 1. Bad, and 2. I just didn’t know if I wanted to be G.I. Joe.”

Megan Fox (Transformers)

Michael Bay is infamous for his big-budget, stylistic approach to storytelling, and his box-office hit Transformers franchise is no exception. The lucrative series' first installment starred Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox as two teenagers who find themselves in a dangerous battle between the Autobots and Decepticons, and went on to gross over $700 million despite a mixed bag critical response.

Fox has spoken out against Bay's approach to filmmaking numerous times over the years, once notoriously comparing his on-set behavior to Hitler. When looking back at her delivery in the original film, Fox told Entertainment Weekly, "I'm terrible in it. It’s my first real movie and it’s not honest and not realistic. The movie wasn’t bad, I just wasn’t proud about what I did.”

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)

Fans of the beloved fantasy franchise Harry Potter might have trouble believing that celebrated star Daniel Radcliffe was not always enamored by his role as The Boy Who Lived. In the sixth installment Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the actor was unimpressed with his range and delivery, expressing, "...I'm just not very good in it. I hate it. My acting is very one-note, and I can see I got complacent and what I was trying to do just didn’t come across.” Radcliffe felt he delivered his best performance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, believing that there was real "progression" in his acting capabilities.
