Miriam Margolyes had some harsh words to describe Steve Martin after sharing her "vile experience" on set with him.
The 82-year-old actress, best known for her iconic roles in movies such as The Age of Innocence, James and the Giant Peach, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, opened up during an interview with news.com.au after detailing wild stories from her personal life and her six-decades-long showbiz career in her upcoming book titled Oh Miriam! - Stories from an Extraordinary Life.
When asked about one of those stories that name-dropped Primetime Emmy Award winner Steve Martin, Margolyes stated that she was unimpressed by the actor when the pair worked on the 1986 film, Little Shop of Horrors.
In the movie, Martin plays a dentist while Margolyes plays his dental receptionist.
"Steve was and is brilliant, this is not about his talent, just about his kindness at that time in his life," she told the outlet. "I didn’t enjoy it and I had a splitting headache at the end of the day."
"He [Martin] was incredibly unfriendly because he was a perfectionist," she continued. "He was an artist and all he was interested in was getting the comic moment right, and he was correct to do that, but he should have included me."
"I would have included the person I was working with. He wasn’t interested in that," she said before branding the experience "vile" while also referring to Marin as "rather horrid."
"He was a c**t, that’s all I can tell you," the outspoken actress concluded.
Despite having a negative experience with the veteran actor, Margolyes did add that he was a "gifted" talent.
"When I saw the scene afterwards I thought, 'oh, he’s good, he really is good,'" she told news.com.au.
And the 82-year-old didn't stop there on her list of men she disliked being around.
Next in the firing line was none other than Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.
Margolyes encountered the entertainer when she was performing The Vagina Monologues alongside Sophie Dahl, who Jagger was seeing at the time.
"I just didn’t like him," she said, as per the outlet. "He wasn’t interested in anybody else. He didn’t say 'good evening' or 'how’s the show going?'"
She also went on to describe him as a "tiresome old git."
"He thought he was important, and he is important, but important people should never think they’re important and should never show it if they think it. I just thought he was a tiresome old git," she said.
Big yikes.
Oh Miriam! - Stories from an Extraordinary Life is set to be released on September 12.
