Guy Pearce admitted in an interview with 'The Times' that he 'wanted to punch' an actress who was 'snobby' about him starring in the 'Neighbours' soap

“In the old days you were either a theatre actor or a film actor, and if you got stuck in a soap you were the lowest of the low — but what an opportunity,” the star said of landing the role of the handsome and hardworking Mike Young on the show.

Actor Guy Pearce did not hold back when dissing a star who criticized his soap-opera past, saying he “wanted to punch her.” In a recent interview with U.K.‘s The Times, he shared a memory of a “snobby actress” that he wanted to physically hit—but did not reveal her identity.
