AFTER DECADES OF SILENCE: Steve Martin REVEALS the 3 Hollywood Co-Stars He Secretly HATED Working With — #2 Was a Total SHOCKER 💣🔥

Hollywood has always had its fair share of feuds, but no one ever thought Steve Martin — the silver-haired comedy saint, the banjo-playing philosopher of fun, the man who could make a tax audit sound charming — would one day drop a nuclear bomb of shade on his own co-stars.

Yet here we are.

At 79 years old, the beloved funnyman has reportedly gone rogue, allegedly exposing the five co-stars he “secretly couldn’t stand” during his decades in the movie business.

Fans are stunned, comedians are panicking, and somewhere Martin Short is probably polishing a friendship bracelet in denial.

The internet exploded faster than a Chevy Chase temper tantrum when whispers spread that Steve Martin, the patron saint of polite comedy, had finally broken the Hollywood commandment: Thou shalt not talk smack about thy castmates.

According to insiders (and at least one suspiciously talkative “anonymous” publicist who may or may not be Eugene Levy in a wig), Steve Martin’s confession reportedly came during a low-key interview that was “totally off the record” — until, of course, it wasn’t.

A studio intern allegedly leaked the transcript, sending it straight to the gossip underworld faster than Martin’s bowtie collection could spin.

What followed was pure chaos.

 

“We thought Steve was incapable of hate,” said Dr. Hal Brubaker, a self-proclaimed Hollywood Behavior Expert who once published a book titled The Laugh Track Lie: Why Comedians Cry Inside.

“But clearly, the man’s been sitting on decades of comedic rage.

You can only smile through so many bad takes before something snaps. ”

So who made the hit list? Buckle up, because it’s juicier than a Three Amigos sequel no one asked for.

Sources claim Martin named five co-stars who made his blood boil — the kind of people who could make even the kindest man plot silent revenge through subtle eye rolls and “accidental” missed cues.

At the top of the alleged list? Chevy Chase, the volatile genius with the comedic timing of a bomb about to go off.

It’s no secret that the two clashed during their early collaborations, and apparently, time hasn’t healed those wounds.

“Chevy was like a human hurricane,” said one crew member from their SNL days.

“He’d insult you, forget your name, then borrow your joke and tell it louder.

Steve pretended to laugh, but his left eye twitched for ten years straight. ”

Next up: Goldie Hawn.

Yes, America’s sweetheart.

The bubbly blonde who could charm a traffic cone supposedly once drove Martin “absolutely insane” on set.

“She was late.

Always.

Like, cosmically late,” Martin allegedly said, according to a witness who swears he heard it over a lukewarm martini at a Beverly Hills charity gala.

“She’d stroll in three hours past call time, giggling like she’d just discovered the concept of time was optional.

I aged five years waiting for her to finish one scene. ”

 

Goldie’s camp has since denied the claim, insisting she and Steve remain “mutually radiant souls,” but fans can’t help noticing that they haven’t shared a screen since.

Coincidence? Tabloid experts think not.

Coming in third: Queen Latifah.

Shocking, right? The two worked together on Bringing Down the House, and while the movie made audiences laugh, insiders say the set was less “laugh riot” and more “Cold War.

” Apparently, Queen Latifah’s improvisational energy clashed with Martin’s meticulous comedic precision.

“He’d spend hours rewriting jokes,” said a production assistant who still has PTSD from the craft services table.

“Then she’d show up, toss the script, and say something way funnier.

Steve smiled politely but you could see the existential dread in his eyes. ”

Rumor has it, Martin later referred to the experience as “a valuable lesson in humility, and also in aspirin dosage. ”

Number four on the list is perhaps the most scandalous: John Candy.

Yes, the late, great legend himself.

Before fans grab their pitchforks, sources insist the “hate” was more of a love-hate — the kind reserved for your best friend who always steals your thunder.

“John Candy was impossible to dislike,” said fake Hollywood historian Dr. Mimi LeFevre, “but that’s what drove Steve mad.

Every time they shared a scene, Candy’s charm just ate the camera alive.

Steve wasn’t jealous — he was exhausted.

Imagine trying to outshine a literal cloud of joy. ”

Still, their partnership in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles remains iconic, though apparently, behind the scenes, the laughter sometimes came with gritted teeth and forced smiles.

 

Finally, in a twist worthy of a Netflix docuseries, the fifth name allegedly dropped was Sarah Jessica Parker.

The two worked together in L. A. Story, and while the film oozed whimsical charm, the set was apparently an emotional circus.

“She brought New York neuroticism to a California comedy,” Steve reportedly said.

“It was like trying to surf in a library.

” Crew members described the tension as “subtle but constant,” like a battle between two types of polite chaos.

Parker, of course, has declined to comment, but one anonymous friend reportedly said, “She was more annoyed by his constant banjo practice than anything else. ”

Fans online have been losing their minds over this “revelation. ”

Twitter (or X, depending on how brave you are) was ablaze with hashtags like #MeanMartin, #SteveSpillsTea, and #BanjoOfBetrayal.

One user wrote, “If Steve Martin hates you, you must’ve done something truly biblical. ”

Another added, “Somewhere, Chevy Chase just punched a wall and called his agent. ”

Even Martin Short, Steve’s comedic partner-in-crime, weighed in with a cheeky Instagram post showing the two laughing with the caption: “Thank God I’m not on the list… I think. ”

Of course, it’s worth noting that Martin himself has not officially confirmed this supposed list, though his silence only fuels the fire.

His publicist released a vague statement reading, “Steve Martin loves everyone he’s ever worked with and has never hated a soul.

He simply has a profound appreciation for silence. ”

Which, naturally, everyone interpreted as a denial so suspiciously polite it could only be hiding something.

 

As one Redditor put it: “That’s exactly what someone who hates Chevy Chase would say. ”

Meanwhile, Hollywood insiders are scrambling to do damage control.

“This is bad for the nostalgia economy,” said one studio executive under the pseudonym ‘Melinda Moneybags’.

“We rely on people believing the old guard loved each other.

If the public starts thinking the 80s comedy icons were secretly plotting each other’s demise, who’s gonna buy reunion specials?” Netflix reportedly offered Martin a mini-series called ‘The Enemies of Steve’, but he declined, saying he’d “rather play the banjo than rehash the past.”

Which, to be fair, might be the most Steve Martin response imaginable.

Still, some industry veterans are praising Martin for allegedly speaking out.

“About time someone told the truth,” said a former director who once worked with all five “targets. ”

“Comedy sets can be brutal.

Behind the laughter, there’s ego, insecurity, and people arguing over who gets the punchline.

Steve’s just old enough not to care anymore.

” Others, however, suspect it’s all part of a publicity stunt.

“Come on,” scoffed entertainment blogger Tammy Twinkle.

“He’s got a memoir coming out next year.

‘Five People I Could’ve Lived Without’ practically writes itself. ”

And honestly, if this is the scandal that finally makes Steve Martin go viral again, maybe he deserves it.

 

The man’s spent half a century making people laugh without ever getting messy.

Maybe he’s earned the right to throw a little shade.

“Let him vent!” one fan wrote on TikTok.

“He’s survived Chevy Chase.

That alone deserves sainthood. ”

Whether or not the story is true, it’s clear one thing hasn’t changed — Steve Martin remains the quiet storm of Hollywood.

He can roast his co-stars without ever raising his voice, insult with elegance, and turn gossip into poetry.

If he truly did “expose” the people he hated, he did it the only way Steve Martin could: subtly, stylishly, and with a smirk that says, You’ll never really know, but it’s fun to wonder.

As the online hysteria continues, Steve was last seen doing what he does best — playing banjo at a small-town concert, smiling like the world isn’t losing its mind over who he supposedly can’t stand.

Maybe that’s the real joke here.

Maybe the punchline isn’t about hate at all.

Maybe it’s that even after all these years, Steve Martin still knows exactly how to make us talk — and laugh — without saying much of anything.

And somewhere in Beverly Hills, Chevy Chase just poured himself a drink, muttering, “He’s still not that funny. ”
