More info Dame Imelda Staunton, who has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and British stage and screen, has revealed she won't be working with Steven Seagal again.
The unlikely pair previously starred together in the 2006 spy movie Shadow Man, but it seems that will be their last collaboration. The esteemed actress, who was recently honoured with a Damehood on King Charles ' Birthday Honours List, stated: "I wouldn't work with Steven Seagal again. "It was a sub-James Bond in Romania and I played the US ambassador.
The film sees Seagal play a former CIA agent go in search of his missing daughter. And it seems Seagal - who denied a MeToo claim from another woman - was quite the diva." The film features Seagal as a former CIA agent searching for his missing daughter, and according to Staunton, he was quite the diva on set.
"Before I left England the producer said 'I just want to tell you Steven does not do reverse scenes' which means he doesn't do a scene unless the camera is on him," the 68-year-old actress recalled. This meant whenever Staunton was speaking and only the back of Seagal's head was visible, a stand-in was used while a Romanian student and set assistant read out.
