Francois Arnaud’s ‘Exhausting’ Ego ‘Getting Under People’s Skin’ Following ‘Heated Rivalry’ Success
François Arnaud is one of the breakout stars of HBO’s surprise hit Heated Rivalry, but his haughty attitude is already creating serious tension with his castmates.
“François acts like he’s the only reason people are watching and treats the rest of the cast like supporting props,” an insider tells Straight Shuter. “His ego is exhausting.”
The 40-year-old French Canadian, who has been teasing a spinoff and flirting with costars off-set, brushes off the complaints. “He doesn’t see it as arrogance,” an insider explains. “He genuinely thinks he’s the heart of the story. Whether he is or isn’t, it’s definitely getting under people’s skin.”
With season 2 of the hockey romance already confirmed and spinoff rumors swirling, Arnaud’s ego may be growing faster than his star power — and, sources say, his costars are not thrilled.
