Didn't Realize He Was An Asshole
Had him pegged for a kind-hearted drama queer typecast as a fussy gay space robot, guess I was wrong:
On Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels — The actors inside the R2D2 and C3PO costumes are not fans of one another at all. Baker once said of Daniels: “He’s been such an awkward person over the years. If he just calmed down and socialised with everyone, we could make a fortune touring around making personal appearances. I’ve asked him four times now but, the last time, he looked down his nose at me like I was a piece of sh*t. The last time I spoke to him was in Boston and he was in front of me. I said ‘Did you have a nice weekend Tony?’ He said ‘I’m having a conversation,’ and walked away. He wasn’t talking to anybody. I could have hit him.” Daniels is no kinder to Baker. “I never saw him. I mean, R2-D2 doesn’t even speak. He might as well be a bucket.”share
