Tom Hardy

Tom Hardy, 44, said that he was "overwhelmed" on the set of Mad Max where he and Charlize Theron starred alongside each other.

"She was right. She just sat in the War Rig." She didn’t go to the bathroom, didn’t do anything. She screams it out. "What she needed was a better, perhaps more experienced partner in me. The pressure on both of us was overwhelming at times.

In a new book about the making of the 2015 blockbuster hit Mad Max: Fury Road, allegations of unprofessional behaviour on the part of Tom Hardy are coming ...

At the time, Theron was a new mother, and being on set required her to allocate time for her baby to be in childcare, away from her. In one instance, when the entirety of the cast and crew was due to set at 8am, he showed up three hours late. Hardy’s consistent tardiness to set was one of the habits in question, often making his cast and crew wait hours for him.

Tom Hardy is still rising after more than a decade at the top of the Hollywood food chain. We look back on "Fury Road," "Venom" and other career-defining ...

"Dunkirk" was a hit at the Oscars, earning eight Academy Award nominations and winning in the film editing, sound editing, and sound mixing categories. Hardy is present throughout 100% of this movie and is, in fact, the only actor to appear onscreen in the entire film. The story was adapted from the novel of the same name written by Irish author John le Carré, who is considered by many to be one of the foremost masters of the spy genre, rivaling Ian Fleming's "James Bond" novels. It was such an impressive year for the actor, in fact, that he even won the title of top British/Irish Actor of the Year from the London Critics Circle. A highly-stylized prison film from Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn ("Drive," "The Neon Demon"), Hardy stars as Charles Bronson, but not that Charles Bronson. It might be more accurate to say that Hardy plays a man named Michael Peterson, who adopts an alter ego named Charles Bronson after becoming delusional while spending decades in solitary confinement. Tom Hardy plays Pierre Jackson, one of the killer's captives who is tortured and forced to choose between saving his own life and dooming a loved one. Released in 2007, comparisons were drawn between "WAZ" and the "Saw" series, which began a few years earlier. "Legend" might have ended up with a rotten audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, but critics took to the film more warmly. A change up to the tone of "Let There Be Carnage," making it a more deliberately funny film than its predecessor, was noted as an improvement by many critics. The story of "Nemesis" concerns the Enterprise crew visiting Romulus to assist in negotiating a peace treaty, but the meeting turns out to be a trap. Hardy plays something of a dual-role as both the human Eddie Brock and the voice of the symbiote Venom that attaches itself to Brock. On Rotten Tomatoes, critics had a strong negative reaction to the film, but audiences enjoyed it far more. Based on the same-titled novel (which was in turn based loosely on a Russian serial killer), the film is set in the Soviet Union during Stalin's rule in the early 1950s.

The post-apocalyptic wasteland was pleasant compared to the battle of the stars filming 'Mad Max: Fury Road'

“In hindsight, I was in over my head in many ways,” he admitted. “But when I was on set, I still felt pretty naked and alone.” Cameraman Mark Goellnicht recalls, “She jumps out of the War Rig, and she starts swearing her head off at him, saying, ‘Fine the fucking cunt a hundred thousand dollars for every minute that he’s held up this crew,’ and ‘How disrespectful you are!’ She was right. “He was quite aggressive,” Goellnicht said. In fact, it got so bad at one point that Theron asked for someone to be assigned to her as “protection” from Hardy. Buchanan reports that Theron finally could not constrain her own fury when her co-star was late again for a shoot, and she let the tardy Hardy have it. Theron agreed, telling Buchanan, “He’s right, it was like two parents in the front of the car.

Mad Max: Fury Road was a huge success, becoming a box office hit and winning six Oscars from 10 nominations. She really felt threatened, and that was the turning point.” The pressure on both of us was overwhelming at times.”

The pair worked together on the 2015 movie but had an explosive relationship and were often involved in intense shouting matches, with Theron calling Hardy ...

He’s such a Method actor that I think he took the arc in the literal sense.' 'You understand the needs of a director who wants to protect his set, but when push comes to shove and things get out of hand, you have to be able to think about that in a bigger sense,' she continued. I’d like to think that now that I’m older and uglier, I could rise to that occasion.' It was a little bit like walking on thin ice.' 'He was never going to allow anybody to interrupt this world, no matter how fraught the world was.' '“Charlize, do you want to get out of the War Rig and walk around, or do you want to . . .” “No, I’m going to stay here.” She was really going to make a point. I’d like to think that now that I’m older and uglier, I could rise to that occasion.' The pressure on both of us was overwhelming at times. She just sat in the War Rig.' 'He’s going to protect George no matter what, at all costs. She explained that Hardy was 'very physical and all over the place and would try very different things,' whereas Theron was 'cerebral and very consistent in the way that she approaches a character.'
