While cast members such as Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Rebecca Romjin Stamos grumbled about being thrown off schedule, says the tipster, producer Tom DeSanto angrily warned the driver that "if he ever did anything like that again, he would be fired." When word got back to Singer about the threat, we're told he tried to fire DeSanto, telling him to get himself on the next plane back to Los Angeles.
