The Safdie brothers' rumoured feud allegedly first began after a disturbing incident on the set of their breakout film in 2017, according to a new report. During the shoot, Josh is said to have been monitoring on a screen, while Benny was controlling the boom mic. Yet the Safdie brothers stuck by Duress, who even recommend him to director Dustin Guy Defa, who cast him in his 2017 film Person To Person alongside Michael Cera. That same year he appeared in the Safdie brothers' movie Good Times alongside Robert Pattinson. Page Six reported that the dispute drove a 'wedge' between Josh and Benny and Benny cut ties with his elder brother.
