BREAKING: Someone Other Than Jeremy Piven Has A Beef With John Cusack April 23, 2008

John Cusack refers Paul Leydon to the hand.

Australian soap actor Paul Leyden co-wrote the upcoming horror film The Factory. The movie stars the likable John Cusack, who is so popular that he even shares a stalker with Tom Cruise! But is seems Mr. Cusack has a bit of a punctuality problem — one that cost him a fan in Leyden.

“John Cusack was one of my favorite actors until I met him [Ed: oh, snap!],” Paul Leyden tells Sydney’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. “He cost us a lot of money. He was getting paid a lot of cash and he would just be two hours late to set, wouldn’t apologize for keeping everyone waiting in the snow… a real prima donna.”

“Everyone thought he was a really nice guy,” Leydon continues. “And all I can say is that it was a really nice day when he wrapped.”

Well, trashing your film’s star is one way to promote a movie!
