Actors Who Don't Get Along With Their Families. From Modern Family to soap operas to Shakespeare, fiction has long milked family life for comedy and drama, love and betrayal. It hooks us because we know there’s a grain of truth to it; family can be the one thing that keeps us sane, or the thing that drives us to madness. Just ask some of the actors profiled here — they know all about family drama, because they’ve lived it. Like the rest of us, actors’ family crises come in all shapes and sizes.

Ronald Lee Ermey (born March 24, 1944), known professionally as R. Lee Ermey, or even Lee Ermey, is an American actor and voice actor, best known for his role as. Former Valve Writer Posts Possible Half-Life 2: Episode 3 Plot Summary. News, reviews, previews, tips, and downloads for multiple platforms.

Rebellious kids. Controlling parents. Feuding siblings. Adult Life Skills Full Movie Online Free. Money matters. Inheritance fights. But with actors, everything has a larger than life quality. There’s the added publicity, the amounts of money at stake, and the conflict between the public image — the hero, the kindly father figure, the sweet young woman — and the ugly reality the public sometimes gets to glimpse.

For some actors, time heals the wounds, the conflict passes, and unity returns. Other actors have spent their lives in a family divided, sometimes for good reason. When someone sides with your ex in a breakup or steals your money, turning the other cheek isn’t so easy. Here are fifteen actors whose family relationships range from fractured and troubled to irrevocably shattered. Amanda Bynes. There are actors who don’t get along with their parents.

And then there’s Amanda Bynes, who chatted with her friends about killing her parents. In 2. 01. 4, one of the starlet’s roommates gave the media a tape of what she claimed was a statement by Byrnes. The actress subsequently acknowledged the voice was hers, but said she was “obviously joking.” According to the tape, Byrnes’ parents having control of her money was the issue, a problem that crops up later on this list. The set- up of the joke included “I haven’t decided how I want to murder him … I don’t believe in murder … He literally like is the worst person” followed by the punchline “Nothing would give me greater pleasure than slitting his throat.” The tape also included Bynes talking of burning down her mother’s house and slitting her throat. As jokes go, it doesn’t seem like a funny one in any context. Jennifer Aniston.

Jennifer Aniston’s relationship with her late mother Nancy Dow wasn’t great, but there’s no record of it reaching threaten- to- kill her levels of vitriol, so there’s that. After her mother’s death, Aniston said she always felt intimidated by the former model’s beauty, and never felt she could measure up. Her mother was extremely critical, and had a capacity for anger and holding grudges that Aniston didn’t understand or sympathize with. They eventually broke contact, which different sources credit to tabloid stories about them or to Dow’s 1. From Mother to Daughter to Friends. Whatever the reason, Dow wasn’t invited to Aniston’s wedding to Brad Pitt. After the divorce, Dow and Aniston reconciled.

Later, after Dow’s will left everything to Aniston’s niece, the court battle that followed created new family conflicts. Madonna. Christopher Ciccone spent years as his sister Madonna’s trusty sidekick, serving as her personal assistant, her show designer, her right- hand man, her gofer. Watch The Portal Dailymotion. In 2. 00. 8, though, he announced he wanted to redefine himself as someone separate from his sister. To do that he wrote Life With My Sister Madonna, a tell- all account portraying Madonna as an attention seeker (who could have guessed?), a cheapskate, and someone who spat out a cough drop into his hand right before going on stage.

Ciccone said he hoped the book would make his sister squirm, and it apparently succeeded. Madonna’s publicist said her boss was shocked by her brother’s book, because it showed her Chris wasn’t the close, loving brother she thought him to be.

Then again, Ciccone has implied Madonna got off lightly. He said this year he has more than enough extra anecdotes for a second book showing how “horrifying” his sister is. Julia Roberts/Eric Roberts. When a couple breaks up, their friends and family may choose sides too. That’s what happened to siblings Julia and Eric Roberts: he split from his partner Kelly Cunningham, and Julia sided with Kelly. At one point, the brother and sister had been a lot closer. When Julia first moved out of their parents’ home, she stayed with her big brother, who’s 1.

Eric’s substance- abuse issues were one wedge between them, the break- up with Cunningham another. Julia supported Cunningham in the custody fight over the couple’s daughter, and even helped pay for Cunningham’s attorney.

According to widespread media reports, by 2. Eric said it wasn’t anything as dramatic as a feud, they simply argued a lot and finally decided to take a break. Since Julia Roberts’ twins were born, the siblings have become much closer, bonding over their parenthood. Emilio Estevez. In 2. Emilio Estevez said that he loved his younger brother Charlie Sheen. But he also understood how Michael Corleone in The Godfather.

II could kill his brother. The rift between the brothers may have begun back in the late 1. Sheen had the better acting career. His public antics, womanizing, and substance abuse since then haven’t helped.

Sheen, for his part, makes fun of his family’s faith in rehab and says he can beat his demons from sheer strength of will. He’s also mocked Estevez in his live stage shows. Estevez admits to problems with his father Martin Sheen too. When Estevez went with his parents to the Philippines during the shooting of Apocalypse Now, he ran wild and stayed out late, even though breaking the country’s martial- law curfew was a shooting offense.

When he asked his parents why they hadn’t reined him in, they said that with four sons, they could live with losing one. Hopefully, like Bynes, they were just making a tasteless joke. Lon Chaney Jr. Lon Chaney Jr. Dark Universe, the only actor to play Universal’s Wolf Man, Mummy, Frankenstein, and Dracula. Offstage, the man born in 1. Creighton Tull Chaney had some dark moments in his own family life.

Creighton was seven when his mother, Cleva attempted suicide. Creighton’s father, Lon Chaney Sr., divorced her and told his son she’d died; mother and son wouldn’t meet again for years. Chaney left his son in foster homes and boarding schools while starting his career, but brought him home after remarrying. Chaney happily let people assume his second wife was his only wife and Creighton’s mother. Chaney was adamant that his son stay out of the movie industry and pushed him toward business instead. Creighton only became an actor after his father’s death. Ironically, it wasn’t until he switched from his birth name to Lon Chaney Jr.

Tori Spelling. Daughter of the late TV producer Aaron Spelling (Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Charlie’s Angels) and his wife Candy, Tori Spelling is another actor with mother- daughter issues. Her relationship with her mom was bad, which her father blamed on Candy’s relationship with her own mother. Bad enough, Tori says, that when she became a mother, she was afraid of repeating the pattern. For her part, Candy says Tori’s decision to cut off contact with her parents contributed to Aaron Spelling’s death. Then there’s Aaron’s will.

Being left “only” $8. Aaron Spelling’s estate has been estimated at a half- billion dollars. Tori has said the will resulted from Candy manipulating Aaron, though Tori’s brother says it was planned that way for years. Media accounts have portrayed Tori and Candy as reconciling, then falling apart again. Recently, Candy hosted a baby shower for Tori’s fifth baby, so presumably they’re in the up part of the cycle. Bing Crosby. Best known now for White Christmas and the Road movies with Bob Hope, Bing Crosby was a superstar in his day.

Bing was loved not only for his acting and singing, but the image of a kind, wise, father figure — an image, some of his kids say, was as phony as a two- dollar bill. In Going My Own Way, Bing’s son Gary paints an entirely different image, of an abusive father who belittled his kids with nicknames (Gary’s was Big Butt) and had no qualms about beating his sons until they bled.
