Rebecca Ferguson has revealed further details about the mystery co-star who 'screamed in her face' on set, as she posed up a storm in a stunning Harper's Bazaar photoshoot on Wednesday.
The Swedish actress, 42, looked incredible as she graced the cover of the magazine's March issue, opening up about her complex relationship with fame and handling challenging power dynamics on set.
In 2024, the Dune star revealed that a former film co-star 'screamed' at her and left her walking off set crying, and she admitted that she would never work with the person again after how they treated her.
Now, the actress has opened up about finding her voice and dealing with power dynamics on set following the incident.
Speaking to Harper's Bazaar UK, she said: 'It wasn’t about the person. It was about me. It was so scary. I didn’t know then how to go, "Hey, can I talk to you privately?"
She continued: 'Now, I would want to believe that I could have taken this person aside.

'A lot of people say that we’ve become too woke, but I think, no, it’s great. The pendulum needs to swing to the other side so that we can find a balance in between.'
Elsewhere in the interview, Rebecca opened up on the 'harrowing and weird' side of fame and the sense of validation it can provide.
She said: 'I think a lot of people wouldn’t verbalise it, because not being recognised and yet working is one of the most incredible things – but it’s also quite harrowing and weird, because there is an ego-boost to being recognised.
'Sometimes I have moments where I go, "Why do I not have paparazzi? Why am I not having to be smuggled out the back exit?" The older I get, the more I think, "God, I’m grateful."
She added: 'But then you have to deal with walking down a red carpet and it goes silent because you’re not Timothée (Chalamet) or Zendaya.'
Rebecca achieved international fame primarily through her breakout role as Elizabeth Woodville in the BBC historical drama The White Queen, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination.
Her performance in the drama led to her starring role as Ilsa Faust in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, which established her as a major action star.
Following Rogue Nation, she reprised her role in Mission: Impossible - Fallout and subsequent sequels, solidifying her status in Hollywood.

Now, the actress has joined the star-studded cast of the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie, officially titled Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, set for release on Netflix on March 20.
She will join original cast member Cillian Murphy, who portrays the infamous Tommy Shelby, as well as Saltburn star Barry Keoghan and Pulp Fiction star Tim Roth.
Expressing her excitement about taking part in the upcoming movie, Rebecca told the publication: '(It was) a no-brainer. The characters are all guttural and burdened. That’s what I want.'
However, she admitted that there is 'no chance' her character could do a Brummie accent.
Discussing getting into character for her role, she said: 'There was absolutely no chance I could do a Brummie accent. I would ruin the film.'
The March issue of Harper's Bazaar UK is on sale from February 5.
