Claire Foy Accuses 'Being Human' Director of Bullying on First Major Acting Job

Despite Foy's claims, director Declan O'Dwyer continues to work on notable projects, including an upcoming Netflix adaptation.

Claire Foy, star of 'The Crown', has accused Declan O'Dwyer, director of the BBC's 'Being Human' pilot, of being 'very unkind' and 'bullying' her during her first major acting job.
Foy alleges that O'Dwyer shouted at her to 'start acting, darling' while filming scenes for the character Julia, which she describes as the 'worst note' she has ever received from a director.
Foy's co-star in 'All of Us Strangers', Andrew Scott, expressed shock and sympathy at her revelations during their joint interview on Josh Horowitz’s 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast.
Despite Foy's claim that O'Dwyer 'doesn't really work anymore', he has been involved in several notable projects recently, including PBS series 'Miss Scarlet and The Duke', and is set to direct and executive produce Netflix’s adaptation of Holly Smale’s young adult book 'Geek Girl'.
Foy was not cast in the full series of 'Being Human', which went on to become a cult hit for BBC3. The role of Julia was played by Natalie Brown in the full series.
