Harry Potter and White Lotus star Jason Isaacs calls out the 'worst bully' he's ever worked with during his decades in Hollywood
Jason Isaacs has called out the "worst bully" he "ever" worked alongside throughout his decades in the Hollywood film industry. The actor, best known for playing villain Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series from 2001 to 2011, shared his candid thoughts about the "bad behaviour" he witnessed on sets in an interview with Vulture on Monday. Isaacs elaborated on a "prominent" film star who once pushed him out of a shot and said the snarky actor, who he chose not to name, "did worse". "Oh Jesus. Did worse than that. Was the worst bully ever and a global icon," Isaacs said. "Did all the old tricks of doing a completely different performance off-camera than on. "Yeah, it sucked. I'd never seen anything like it. Before, I would've licked the ground that this person walked on." The award-winning actor has seen it all after 37 years of experience in Tinseltown, where he starred in several major films, including The Patriot with Mel Gibson and, most recently, HBO's hit series The White Lotus. While there's no way of telling who Isaacs deemed to be the offender, his prominent co-stars also include Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis from the film Armageddon, as well as Dennis Quaid and Sean Connery in Dragonheart. In his wide-ranging interview, Isaacs described what he mostly judges on set as "bad behaviour", including "selfishness, cruelty and bullying". "People complaining to the person who's getting them dressed, who doesn't get in a year what they earn in a day to pick their filthy underwear off the floor," he said. "That, or not turning up, or going home early, or thinking they know better than the director, or being on crack and calling prostitutes to their trailer. I come across all that stuff." Asked why he chose to protect the privacy of who he described as abysmal actors, Isaacs said he's "not so stupid" as even to give a "clue". The English star said he recently interviewed an author and friend who encouraged him to write a memoir through which to spill his secrets. Isaacs responded by saying he would never release a book, not "in a million years until everybody I know is dead" because he has "stories". He said his fantasy of writing a tome and finally revealing the truth about the rogue stars he worked with might come true if he wins the lottery. Until then, he said there's "no value" in naming and shaming other than creating "masochism and sabotage", adding "acting is all about secrets." Elsewhere in the interview, Isaacs confirmed speculation The White Lotus stars get paid $40,000 per episode. He said the "very low price" for the industry is disproportionate compared to what actors usually get for staring in big TV shows. Nevertheless, Isaacs said the stars of the hit series "would have paid to be in it" or even "probably would have given a body part" for a role.

This story discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. You can also text HOME to 741741 or visit for additional resources. Janelle Brown is reflecting on her ongoing grieving process as she marks the first anniversary of her son Garrison Brown's death. The "Sister Wives" star took to Instagram on March 5 to acknowledge the somber anniversary. "I stay busy but in EVERY quiet moment you are first and foremost in my thoughts. It's been a year baby. We miss you so much. I miss you so much," she captioned the post. The mother of six went on to ask her followers to do something positive in her son's memory. "I encourage everyone reading this to consider making a donation to your local animal shelter, rescue, or humane society. This cause was close to Garrison's heart — he adopted all three of his cats from shelters," she wrote. The proud mother shared a photo of her son holding one of his cats and overlaid it with the following quote from his favorite movie, "Dragonheart:" 'To the stars, Bowen, to the stars.' After Garrison Brown's death, several of his siblings got tattoos with a version of the quote. Janelle Brown ended her post by sharing resources for anyone who may be struggling with their mental health. "If you are in crisis, please call, text or chat with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741," she wrote. On March 5, 2024, police in Flagstaff, Arizona told NBC News Garrison Brown appeared to have died by suicide. He was 25 years old. Over the past year, Janelle Brown has shared several tributes to her son on Instagram. Her friend and former sister wife, Christine Brown Woolley, also commemorated the first anniversary of his passing on March 5. "I found a video of Garrison helping me move and watched it so many times. My heart aches without him and every photo, video, memory, joke, story with him in it is infinitely more precious than ever. Gosh, I miss him. I can't believe he's been dead for a year," she captioned the post. Brown Woolley shared several photos of Garrison Brown with her own children from over the years plus one of him from her 2023 wedding to David Woolley. Garrison Brown was one of six children Janelle Brown shares with her ex-husband Kody Brown. One of those adult children, Madison Brown Brush, also acknowledged the anniversary of her brother's passing with her own Instagram tribute. "A whole 365 days without you. Not a day goes by that I don't miss you, Garrison. In the quiet moments between the noise of life, I think of you often. I hope and pray you've found peace, rest, and the comfort that eluded you here," she captioned the post. "Until we meet again, little brother." Brown Brush shared several phots with her late brother, including one where they laughed as they compared belly bumps while she was pregnant. Mykelti Padron, one of the six children Brown Woolley shares with Kody Brown, shared her mother's Instagram tribute in her Instagram story and added the caption "Love you forever Bro! Miss you." She also posted a photo of her daughter with Garrison Brown with the caption, "It's been a year without you little bro, miss ya!" Woolley Brown's son Paedon Brown shared his mother and Janelle Brown's posts on his own Instagram story. Leon Brown, the child of Kody and Meri Brown, posted a photo with Garrison Brown along with the following caption: "I miss you more each passing day, it doesn't get easier, it just gets longer."
