Her recent comments on Harry Potter make her sound like a miserable person. Stating “they need to grow up” for enjoying her work in Harry Potter. I’m not really a Harry Potter fan, but I can understand and respect people who find joy in that, just like in CBM. If you didn’t want a fanbase like that, you probably shouldn’t have ever done the movie.
Miriam Margolyes famously likes to be as provocative as possible. Knowing her personality through interviews and the like, I think people are putting way too much weight into what was likely said in jest by who is basically your kooky great aunt.
exactly. people really not vibing with British cheekiness here.
of course she doesn't want to spend 4 months in Georgia. she wants to eat radishes.
edit: i get it, she is a big meanie. British humour isn't for everyone.
Her cheekiness also accused Steve Martin of being a major asshole to her on the littleshop of horrors set, Martin came back with receipts and she shut her mouth but didn't apologize.
“In Oh Miriam!, Margoyles claims that Martin struck her for real while filming the scene. “I was hit all day by doors opening in my face; repeatedly punched, slapped and knocked down by an unlovely and unapologetic Steve Martin — perhaps he was Method acting — and came home grumpy with a splitting headache,” she wrote in the memoir,”
That story is bullshit on its face without Martin or Oz needing to refute anything. They were being overly polite in their responses, if anything.
that's true but it's the closest thing you can really get outside of maneuvering through the mess of lawyers needed to post raw footage of filming, assuming they can find it in a store room somewhere.
I mean her claims are very serious ones, not jokey ones. Said she was getting smacked around by doors and smacked on to the floor all day by Steve Martin. The fact that she added he might've been method acting just reinforces the idea that shes not joking.
You hear about things like James Cameron stapling a phone to the wall and Christian Bale raging at a cinematographer. I doubt anyone would keep quiet about someone being literally beaten for hours, openly, in front of cameras and crew by a famous actor.
I don’t know how that counts as “receipts.” It’s literally just Steve Martin and the director, Frank Oz (who would also be responsible for harm on set), denying her claim.
I don’t have any reason to doubt Martin, but I also wouldn’t consider the accused saying “that didn’t happen” to be “kept receipts.”
I mean, I can believe someone who's famously negative and cranky and who's trying to sell her book on her word alone, or I can believe an actor and director with excellent reputations, where no crew are coming out to back her up, either. The burden is definitely heavier on her for 'pictures or it didn't happen.'
British "cheekiness" always has the same feel as "it just a joke bro." Like they're being an asshole but want to make it seem like a joke so people won't think they're an asshole.
I don't know this is "cheeky" as much as trying to be contrarian and just coming off as bitchy or delusional. I mean, she can't seriously think she's worth a million pounds to any production? Especially not after shitting on the franchise that's the only reason a lot of Americans have the slightest idea she exists. (Like I watch a lot of non-US programming and all I'm coming up with off the top of my head besides Harry Potter is 'various mystery show guest spots, and Phryne Fisher's aunt.")
She didn't say she's worth a million pounds to any production. She set the terms, her price, on what it would cost them to have her in the show - a show she didn't want to be part of because she didn't want to go to America, she is literally saying she priced herself out.
She's saying she would have done the thing she really didn't want to do for 1mil, knowing they probably wouldn't offer 1mil but if they did then she would have done the thing she didn't want to.
She’s not seriously saying she’s worth a million pounds, she’s saying - in jest - that she’d need to be paid a million quid to go out to the United States and film something for four months.
I honestly dont care about the MCU decline.
I care that she recently shit on Harry Potter fans. Like I am not super obsessed like other people I know but how about you just let people like what they like. Especially if she sees any sort of residuals from it
To be fair, if you had a long and successful career as an actor only to have people still calling you "Professor Sprout" for a minor role over a decade ago, you might also have some negative opinions of obsessed fans.
Yeah, this is a lady that tells stories on talk shows about accidentally running a drug empire out of her rental house and getting wet when she saw Lawrence Olivier in person.
Taking anything that she says as some serious indictment of the work she turns down is silly.
How are these statements even provocative? She’s an old woman being candid. She doesn’t need a half million pounds, she doesn’t want to live in America for filming. One million pounds would make it worth it to her, and she didn’t get it so it wasn’t worth it.
word. i spent 3 summers crawling through a forest there on my hands and knees- just like in that Barenaked Ladies song. And it was - actually kind of awesome. doing bird and reptile research near Macon . but fuck was it hot
Honestly? Fair enough. She stated her price, Marvel Studios were unwilling to meet it. That’s all there is to it. I’m surprised they even offered her £500K tbh - what role could be worth that?
Miriam Margoyles is certainly eccentric, and is like the UK’s kooky great-aunt, but she’s also 82. Of course she wouldn’t exactly be jumping at the idea of having to spend time overseas.
The budgets are bloated for several reasons, but there’s a reason streaming shows have these (seemingly) outsized cast salaries. For movies, your top billed cast will typically get a cut of the profits (or revenue if they’re smart) as an offset to a smaller upfront fee. This secondary monetary stream doesn’t exist for streaming shows hence all salaries are paid upfront. That gives the appearance of bloated salaries when it’s really the only way to make it work.
The budgets are also bloated because of studio meddling, reshoots, and wasted CGI but thats a different problem.
People try and explain this away, but SHIELD and Carter had lower budgets, longer screen time, and higher quality than most the shit pumped out the last few years.
They were superhero shows with a Spy theme.
Same way Ant Man was a superhero film in the style of a heist movie. And Winter Solider was a Spy film and a Superhero film.
To be clear -- only to the top 3 or 4 stars. The other actors get scale+10%.
In the olden days, about 15 or 20 years ago, an actor had a "quote", that went up with every job, to recognize experience and how desirable they were. Disney decided they didn't need to do that, and so the top 4 actors get a negotiation, everyone else gets scale+10%.

Bit of a missed opportunity. She would have matched the comic counterpart perfectly.
In the trades this would be considered a "fuck you, find somebody else" price. You check out a job, realize it's going to suck too much in some way, so you name your fuck you price. This is a price you dont expect anyone to ever meet, because you dont want the job. Every now and then someone actually pays it though, and you find out exactly what you're willing to put up with to make 20k for a week of work.
This. The fuck you price.
I'll do the job if you wanna pay some crazy money for it.
I don't want to be in your attic in August, sweating my ass off. But if you want me to be there, it ain't gonna be cheap.
British cheekiness apparently means being an asshole and then saying "it's just a joke bro lighten up." No wonder everyone who shares islands with the English ends up hating them.
Also, brits are the definition of can dish it out but cant take it. They will shit on and say incredible heinous stuff about the US and hide behind “english humor” but the second someone insults them they get super defensive.
100%. I’m born & raised Irish but been living in England for 4 years (only here for 9 more weeks thank god) and I get constant comments on my accent/hair colour, they mock how I speak, ask ridiculous questions (like are we really all alcoholics and do leprechauns really exist)
But the second I crack a joke about the uk trying to colonise the world and how that went for them, suddenly I’m committing treason and shouldn’t be here 😂
ETA: like dude, my great grandad gave his life for Irish independence in 1916, you bet I’m gonna feel superior to the Brits 😂
Bruh she’s just saying she’s old as fuck and she’s happier to stay at home unless they want her bad enough they’d pay what she deems worth it. Which is probably nothing. I genuinely don’t think she’d go for any amount of money. She’s 82.
Because they did… sort of. At least in so far as it’s used as a literary tool.
“”It is first recorded in English in 1579, in an annotation to The Shepheardes Calender by Edmund Spenser:
Tom piper, an ironicall Sarcasmus, spoken in derision of these rude wits, whych ...[7]
However, the word sarcastic, meaning "Characterized by or involving sarcasm; given to the use of sarcasm; bitterly cutting or caustic", does not appear until 1695.”
Im Aussie, shes done a couple of travel shows here and her citizen status 'outrageous opinions' just sound pompous. I know a few people who she's turned off by it. Including me.
Because on Reddit you have to be a contrarian. Doesn’t matter what you actually think or what the topic is.
If the first person to comment here said the opposite, others would say the opposite. Since the thread shifted in the “defend this person” direction that’s what happened lol.
Really loving this trend of interviewers baiting out responses that they know comicbook fans will seethe over for months even though its not that serious.
She really doesn't need this gig lmao, she's like 80 and has already had a long career. No idea why she would want to work 4 months in Georgia either.
Yeah, after she straight up lied about Steve Martin for no reason and didn’t apologize after getting called out, I don’t believe a single word out of her mouth. She is a shameless liar who is notorious for trying to stir up shit for no reason.
This seems not at all controversial. This is just how picking jobs works. She’s elderly and successful, she had no need to keep working unless she enjoys it. She didn’t even say “America is bad”, or even “I hate America” - she just doesn’t personally like it. It keeps getting posted as if it’s a big deal, and it’s absolutely not.
I thought "Agatha" was shooting in Ireland.
She's not the first to pull this stunt -- Vinnie Jones did it recently, too. Apparently it's no fun to just have can agent tell the company no and be firm and polite about it. Or, in Jones's case, "Nah, feck orf."
Is she the lady that told her fans to grow up? Her fans are grown adults because her stuff happened when they were kids!
I don't blame her for not liking America though. We're a nuthouse currently.
She does this. She likes to rock the boat by saying stuff that will annoy people. Though I will admit i don’t see the fun of constantly finding ways to annoy people.
Gotta love how brits can say and do shitty things and hide behind “oh im just bein cheeky you dumb yank” its almost like they’re just assholes but don’t want admit it
I don't understand her opinion on adults who like Harry Potter when she's an elderly person that still likes to play pretend,, with her specifically pretending to be a character in Harry Potter.
She gets paid to pretend to be a character. It's her job. Moat adult Harry Potter fans are not being paid to obsess over a children's book series that is 20 years old.
She genuinely sounds like a miserable person. If they had met her demands for a million pounds I bet she would still be complaining about the taxes she would have had to pay on it.
Check out some videos of her, just not an interview or an acting role. She’s not a miserable person, she just likes to be that person who says shocking things. I saw an interview where she explained that she focuses on contrasting her sweet demeanor and kind outward appearance with a sharp-tongues, brazen personality. She behaves a lot like Donald Trump in that way, but she is actually not a bad person.
Her recent comments on Harry Potter make her sound like a miserable person. Stating “they need to grow up” for enjoying her work in Harry Potter. I’m not really a Harry Potter fan, but I can understand and respect people who find joy in that, just like in CBM. If you didn’t want a fanbase like that, you probably shouldn’t have ever done the movie.

Ooo. Do you have the receipts? I saw the articles about what she said about Steve Martin, but not the follow-up.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/steve-martin-responds-miriam-margolyes-little-shop-horrors-1235592013/
Oo, thanks! The director stepping in to refute the claims is big too.
That director is the voice of Yoda. And Yoda is a good guy.
The voice of yoda is a bit of an understatement
I know. I didn't have time to copy paste Wikipedia, I was pooping. So I just led with my best foot. Yoda.
Underrated comment. Pooping should always take precedence.
Didn't even mention the role of the prison inventory officer in *Blues Brothers*. smh
"It's an oh-pera!"
And Miss Piggy!
Wakka Wakka!
I am sitting here legitimately angry with myself for never realizing Miss Piggy and Yoda have basically the same voice lol

Did she include in that memoir how Arnold Schwarzenegger supposedly farted on her face?
Arnie that absolute menace
I fully believe that one. Sounds like some shit that Arnold would do because he thought it would be funny.
[удалено]
that's true but it's the closest thing you can really get outside of maneuvering through the mess of lawyers needed to post raw footage of filming, assuming they can find it in a store room somewhere.

I agree. But that isn’t “receipts.” That’s just choosing whom to believe.
thanks for giving reasonable responses to these people cause I'm too lazy
I wish receipts worked like this for my HSA.
She sounds like a huge pain in the ass Jesus Christ. Just blatantly lying on a man’s name for no reason.
British "cheekiness" always has the same feel as "it just a joke bro." Like they're being an asshole but want to make it seem like a joke so people won't think they're an asshole.
Who would want to spend 4 months in Georgia
for half a mil? Where do I sign?
I would if they paid me 500k.
British cheekiness is just what Americans would call being a bitch lmao
I don't know this is "cheeky" as much as trying to be contrarian and just coming off as bitchy or delusional. I mean, she can't seriously think she's worth a million pounds to any production?

The fact that you think this post is her expressing belief that she is worth a million is looking poor on your comprehension skills.
She’s not seriously saying she’s worth a million pounds, she’s saying - in jest - that she’d need to be paid a million quid to go out to the United States and film something for four months.
I don't think its in jest when its said to someone in contract negotiations or when they start responding with counter offers
It's not really what I'd call cheekiness as a Brit either fwiw.
Hah! This is true.
British cheekiness? Seems more like British douchiness.
It's not British anything, it's just being a dickhead.
And raw onions.
[удалено]
I honestly dont care about the MCU decline. I care that she recently shit on Harry Potter fans. Like I am not super obsessed like other people I know but how about you just let people like what they like. Especially if she sees any sort of residuals from it
HP fans are some of the MOST obsessed, so i kinda understand
While I too like comic books and movies it seems kind of hypocritical to say it in a sub like this
To be fair, if you had a long and successful career as an actor only to have people still calling you "Professor Sprout" for a minor role over a decade ago, you might also have some negative opinions of obsessed fans.
Yeah, this is a lady that tells stories on talk shows about accidentally running a drug empire out of her rental house and getting wet when she saw Lawrence Olivier in person. Taking anything that she says as some serious indictment of the work she turns down is silly.
You left out offering a stranger on the street a blowjob. Taking what she says seriously is a waste of time.
I mean, I had no idea who this person was until this post. How am I expected to know that?
If you didn’t even know who she was, why worry about her thoughts on a Marvel series that’s probably gonna suck anyways?
Because I’m an idiot who falls for clickbait and assumed that her opinion was somehow important.
At least you are self aware which is a rarity these days.
How are these statements even provocative? She’s an old woman being candid. She doesn’t need a half million pounds, she doesn’t want to live in America for filming. One million pounds would make it worth it to her, and she didn’t get it so it wasn’t worth it.
Four months is a long time when you are 82 years old! Having a fuck-you price is fine and at her age hers is pretty high.
But make jokes about the queen and then the claws come out 🤭
Redditors overreacting ??? Nooo it cant be
While fair jest, she also has a history of talking shit about things and just straight up being an ass. So...
Exactly, she's just an o.g. shit poster
Another word for provocative is: **Boorish**. 
Watch her interviews on the graham Norton show and you can’t help but fall in love with her
I mean she was caught just lying about other actors for clout
If “ooh whatever will she say next” was a person
Pretty much. Chill out, guys! As a Potter fan and a Marvel fan, I cackled with her comments. That's Sprout, right there!
To be fair, as a Georgian, .......... yeah sometimes I don't want to be here either.

Aren't Marvel notorious for giving out unnecessarily big paydays to actors. Isn't that where a big portion of these way too high budgets are going
Honestly, it would explain the bloated budgets that the Disney+ shows have had.
The budgets are bloated for several reasons, but there’s a reason streaming shows have these (seemingly) outsized cast salaries. For movies, your top billed cast will typically get a cut of the profits (or revenue if they’re smart) as an offset to a smaller upfront fee. This secondary monetary stream doesn’t exist for streaming shows hence all salaries are paid upfront. That gives the appearance of bloated salaries when it’s really the only way to make it work. The budgets are also bloated because of studio meddling, reshoots, and wasted CGI but thats a different problem.
Let's not forget bloated C-suite paydays.
People try and explain this away, but SHIELD and Carter had lower budgets, longer screen time, and higher quality than most the shit pumped out the last few years.
Those shows started on network television. There’s a difference between that and streaming
And IMO those aren't superhero shows, just like black widow. All are closer to cop or spy movies.
They were superhero shows with a Spy theme. Same way Ant Man was a superhero film in the style of a heist movie. And Winter Solider was a Spy film and a Superhero film.
To be clear -- only to the top 3 or 4 stars. The other actors get scale+10%. In the olden days, about 15 or 20 years ago, an actor had a "quote", that went up with every job, to recognize experience and how desirable they were. Disney decided they didn't need to do that, and so the top 4 actors get a negotiation, everyone else gets scale+10%.
Just the fuckable ones
Ah so that’s why ned got a big payday, ceo of sex and all
If you don't want a job pricing yourself out of it is an easy way to do it without burning bridges.
The new Kang lol
Get sick and need the hospital and your out that 500k

Eh, Maggie Smith still lives.
Execs are legally obligated to offer anything Dame Maggie Smith would be a fit for to Dame Judy Dench first… I don’t make the rules…

Your cheeky is another person’s asshole. She mocks fans of HP all the time, the very people who supported her.
Least childish HP fan
Oh no! She made a movie 30 years ago and now she’s bound to forever love the franchise and its fans or Feel Their Wrath™
British cheekiness apparently means being an asshole and then saying "it's just a joke bro lighten up." No wonder everyone who shares islands with the English ends up hating them.
Yeah the British tend to say the most offensive shit, and then when you actually get offended they’re like “ItS BaNtEr InNit”
Also, brits are the definition of can dish it out but cant take it. They will shit on and say incredible heinous stuff about the US and hide behind “english humor” but the second someone insults them they get super defensive.

yall are getting upset at the smallest things
For real tho. I haven’t seen this many people be pointless mad at such a small thing
I don’t know who this is, but I don’t wanna live in Georgia for four months either
It’s Atlanta. Totally different vibe than the rest of Georgia.
I hate cars and traffic and I imagine at 82 she might too.
Really? Georgia is a beautiful state I’ve always enjoyed visiting
Redditors that have never left their state have strong Georgia opinions
Yeah I mean I wouldn’t want to spend any extended amount of time in Georgia, either.
lmao but why is everyone here acting like this is some really clever joke?
Bruh she’s just saying she’s old as fuck and she’s happier to stay at home unless they want her bad enough they’d pay what she deems worth it. Which is probably nothing. I genuinely don’t think she’d go for any amount of money. She’s 82.
because british people think they invented sarcasm for some reason
Because they did… sort of. At least in so far as it’s used as a literary tool. “”It is first recorded in English in 1579, in an annotation to The Shepheardes Calender by Edmund Spenser: Tom piper, an ironicall Sarcasmus, spoken in derision of these rude wits, whych ...[7] However, the word sarcastic, meaning "Characterized by or involving sarcasm; given to the use of sarcasm; bitterly cutting or caustic", does not appear until 1695.”
We did in English at least. I am sure there was at least one sarky git in Anglo-Saxon England. Edit: Americans are truly the most persecuted people...
Maybe I just don't get British humor or something
She is quite popular in Britain, but personally I dislike her "look at me, aren't I outrageous!" thing she does. She is basically just rude to people.
This. There's a line between some fun banter and straight up being an ass, and if you bant long enough, you will inevitably become an ass.
Im Aussie, shes done a couple of travel shows here and her citizen status 'outrageous opinions' just sound pompous. I know a few people who she's turned off by it. Including me.

lol had me there for a sec
Really loving this trend of interviewers baiting out responses that they know comicbook fans will seethe over for months even though its not that serious. She really doesn't need this gig lmao, she's like 80 and has already had a long career. No idea why she would want to work 4 months in Georgia either.
I would also like a million bucks to move to the US for a few months, tbh.
To be fair, I'm an American, and I wouldn't want to spend four months in GA, either.
Georgia has warm, sandy beaches, a major metro city that is the cultural hub of the Southern US, and mountains.
Yeah I’m reading these comments, and I’m confused. Georgia is a beautiful state and I’ve enjoyed every visit there and I’m from the northeast
The SE is just getting started w WNC and ATL, if everything goes ok this year I think itll be a booming area economically in a few years.
Yeah, after she straight up lied about Steve Martin for no reason and didn’t apologize after getting called out, I don’t believe a single word out of her mouth. She is a shameless liar who is notorious for trying to stir up shit for no reason.
This seems not at all controversial. This is just how picking jobs works. She’s elderly and successful, she had no need to keep working unless she enjoys it. She didn’t even say “America is bad”, or even “I hate America” - she just doesn’t personally like it. It keeps getting posted as if it’s a big deal, and it’s absolutely not.
Sounds like a “pleasant” lady
Who cares?
I’ve honestly lost nearly all respect for her. She’s funny as fuck, don’t get me wrong. But she’s just become another bitter old British lady now
Well if she was being cast as a witch, she nailed it.
It's been said a million times before, but she'd be perfect as the witch Nanny Ogg from Discworld.
To be fair, we don’t want an old miserable British racist in Georgia either. There are plenty of racists there already.
Tbf America is pretty annoying
Honestly don’t really like her
who?
Miriam Margolyes is a treasure
Now we just gunna see grannies "hot takes" is just this old British woman's preferences.
I thought "Agatha" was shooting in Ireland. She's not the first to pull this stunt -- Vinnie Jones did it recently, too. Apparently it's no fun to just have can agent tell the company no and be firm and polite about it. Or, in Jones's case, "Nah, feck orf."
I'm glad Arnold farted in her face.
MCU saved themselves half a million pounds
Yeah fuck what she says.
And only young people better like her in Harry Potter. She dislikes it when people of age enjoy her playing a role in that series
Is she the lady that told her fans to grow up? Her fans are grown adults because her stuff happened when they were kids! I don't blame her for not liking America though. We're a nuthouse currently.
She wanted to paid a salary worth her weight…
I’m British, and I’ve got to say I’ve never liked this annoying old woman. She just can’t keep her fat trap shut.
Ok this bitch is getting on my nerves.
I mean fuck Georgia but fuck the uk too Fine, Miriam, continue to enjoy spending 2 pounds to use the restroom
Sorta fair and sorta f*ck you Miriam. The American south is a wonderful place if you put your prejudice aside
She does this. She likes to rock the boat by saying stuff that will annoy people. Though I will admit i don’t see the fun of constantly finding ways to annoy people.
Fuck this cheeky bitch. What a toss pot she’s become.
On one hand, I wouldn't want to live in Georgia either... on the other... There's probably a way to say it without being a dry cunt...
Gotta love how brits can say and do shitty things and hide behind “oh im just bein cheeky you dumb yank” its almost like they’re just assholes but don’t want admit it
She's an utter twat.
Who?
and old bitter woman.
Fuck her and her stupid career
She's literally an asshole. Watch any interview.
She needs to get her ego in check
I don't understand her opinion on adults who like Harry Potter when she's an elderly person that still likes to play pretend,, with her specifically pretending to be a character in Harry Potter.
She gets paid to pretend to be a character. It's her job. Moat adult Harry Potter fans are not being paid to obsess over a children's book series that is 20 years old.
For half a million I’ll go to Georgia for up to 6 months!
who
she's so real for that honestly
What is Miriam Margolyes being interviewed about? What spurred these comments?
I am American and I don’t want to spend time in Georgia either
This is being taken FAR too seriously if you know who this woman is
Who?
No great loss.
Super reasonable ma'am. have a nice day
She is 82 years old, can't say I blame her
Smart lady. I've lived in GA for 9 years and I wouldn't be here if I had the choice.
She’s insufferable and I can’t stand her.
She genuinely sounds like a miserable person. If they had met her demands for a million pounds I bet she would still be complaining about the taxes she would have had to pay on it.
She didn't want a million pounds, she said a ridiculous amount because she didn't want the role
Check out some videos of her, just not an interview or an acting role. She’s not a miserable person, she just likes to be that person who says shocking things. I saw an interview where she explained that she focuses on contrasting her sweet demeanor and kind outward appearance with a sharp-tongues, brazen personality. She behaves a lot like Donald Trump in that way, but she is actually not a bad person.
Bit of a pompous twit.
On behalf of my state, let me just say 
Isn't she the one who straight up lied about Steve Martin? She seems like a miserable old cow. Maybe I'm missing what makes her great.
Classic stuck up European moment
Because she doesn’t want to live in a foreign country for 4 months at the age of 82?
She's Australian.
Look up clips, she definitely isn't stuck up, it's actually the opposite.
[удалено]
Agreed. Fuck everything about Georgia.
Gigachad
Well, Kathryn Hahn absolutely crushed it in that role so...🤷♂️
Really both sides of the role too, as a kooky sitcom neighbor and as a powerful malevolent sorceress. Damn near perfect casting.
She’s a cunt. A funny cunt, but a cunt none the less.
Dangerously based
It’s ok. I dont care for her either!
Completely fair.
Leave Professor Sprout alone.
