Scream and Five Nights at Freddy’s star Matthew Lillard has admitted it “it f***ing sucks” to be on the receiving end of an insult from Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Quentin Tarantino hit the headlines for saying There Will Be Blood could have been his favorite film of the 21st century if \u201cweak sauce\u201d actor Paul Dano wasn\u2019t in it.<\/p>\n

The Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs writer and director appeared on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast<\/u> to reveal his 20 favorite films of the 21st century, and in doing so said There Will Be Blood might have been his top pick if it weren\u2019t for Paul Dano, who he described as the film\u2019s \u201cgiant flaw.\u201d Dano played identical twins Paul and Eli Sunday in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2007 period drama.<\/p>\n

But while Dano was the center of attention this week, Tarantino insulted actors Owen Wilson and Matthew Lillard in the same breath, saying: \u201cI don’t care for him [Paul Dano], I don’t care for Owen Wilson, and I don’t care for Matthew Lillard.”<\/p>\n

Lillard reacted to the drive-by insult at GalaxyCon in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Lillard addressed the audience of fans by bringing Tarantino\u2019s insult up.<\/p>\n

“Quentin Tarantino this week said he didn’t like me as an actor,” Lillard said. “Eh, whatever. Who gives a s**t?”<\/p>\n

Lillard went on to reveal that Tarantino\u2019s words had affected him. “The point is, is that, it hurts your feelings. It f***ing sucks. And he wouldn’t say that to Tom Cruise. He wouldn’t say that to somebody who’s a top-line actor in Hollywood. I’m very popular in this room. I am not very popular in Hollywood. Two totally different microcosms, right? And so, you know, it’s humbling, and it hurts.”<\/p>\n

At that point, someone from the crowd shouted out \u201cwe love you!\u201d which sparked cheers from the audience.<\/p>\n
