Kim Basinger had a bad experience making Grudge Match

In 2018, Kim Basinger sat down with Interview to look back on the in-depth chat she'd had with the magazine almost two and half decades earlier, and she was asked to review the answers she'd given in 1994 to see if she still felt the same way. For the most part, her opinions hadn't changed. There was one question that she gave a starkly different answer to, however: She claimed that she'd never had a bad experience making a movie during her initial interview, but Basinger revealed that this was no longer the case — she admitted that she had a terrible time making 2013's Grudge Match.

The boxing comedy, which stars Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro as past-their-prime rivals who get drawn out of retirement for one last showdown, didn't go over well with the majority of critics. Basinger (who plays Stallone's ex-girlfriend) neglected to go into detail about what made the experience such a bad one, though some leaked set photos from the time appeared to show her arguing with Sly as they filmed a scene in a New Orleans park. It's possible that the two were simply in character, but the way it was reported made it seem as though they were clashing for real. Basinger was still trying to rebuild her reputation at the time, and regardless of whether it was true, the story was likely a setback for her.
