The Guardian - Charlize Theron ‘felt so threatened’ by Tom Hardy making Mad Max she required on-set protection
New book details allegations of unprofessional behaviour and aggression during making of George Miller’s 2015 blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road

Further details of the animosity between Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy have been detailed in a new book about the making of George Miller’s 2015 action blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road.

The co-stars were known to have a frosty relationship through the lengthy shoot in the Namibian desert, but Kyle Buchanan’s new book Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road suggests Theron felt sufficiently threatened to require on-set protection from the “aggressive” Hardy.

Hardy starred as the title character in the film, played by Mel Gibson in the original trilogy. Theron was newcomer Imperator Furiosa, a lieutenant to the villain Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) who turns against her leader to collaborate with Max while escorting young women to safety.

Speaking to Buchanan, Theron and other crew members allege a litany of unprofessional behaviour on the part of Hardy, including persistent lateness causing his co-workers to wait for hours on set.

In one instance, Hardy was due on set at 8am, along with the rest of the cast and crew required that day. They included Theron, then a new mother whose baby was in childcare nearby while she worked.

Despite producers having made a “special request” for Hardy to be punctual, he was more than three hours late, during which time Theron remained in position, ready to shoot. “She was really going to make a point,” recalled camera operator Mark Goellnicht. “She didn’t go to the bathroom, didn’t do anything. She just sat in the War Rig.”

When Hardy finally arrived, Theron asked Hardy: “How disrespectful are you?” and said the producers should “fine the ****ing **** a hundred thousand dollars for every minute that he’s held up this crew”.

Hardy responded by “charging up to her” and saying: “What did you say to me?” Goellnicht said Hardy seemed “quite aggressive” and that Theron “really felt threatened.”

“That was the turning point, because then she said, ‘I want someone as protection.’”

Theron added: “It got to a place where it was kind of out of hand, and there was a sense that maybe sending a woman producer down could maybe equalise some of it, because I didn’t feel safe.

“I don’t want to make excuses for bad behaviour, but it was a tough shoot. Now, I have a very clear perspective on what went down. I don’t think I had that clarity when we were making the movie. I was in survival mode; I was really scared ****less.”

Surprised to hear Hardy is that kind of diva. He works a lot with Nolan and I can’t imagine him putting up that on his set.

He was riding a bit too high on his horse after Inception and TDKR perhaps.

Maybe they should have hired someone to have wrestling matches with him to keep him occupied.

I know Hardy apologized for not understanding what Miller was making with Mad Max: Fury Road but if this behavior was born out of a tantrum of not taking the movie seriously as a result he took it out on the crew.

Charlize called Tom the c-word on set.

 

[Boom]

Disappointing look for Hardy, to say the least.

So apparently a prerequisite to being Max, is to be trash. Great...

I think it’s less to do with being a diva and more to do with getting too involved in that character. Like Christian Bale on Terminator. They play these intense scenes and take it home with them, which isn’t the healthiest.

It's been out for years from multiple sets about him being rude to say the least.
IT's been mentioned before about Venom, Revenant, Mad Max, and I pretty sure I read something about him and Refn having a falling out after Bronson. Clashing on set, fighting with directors, etc.. And to be fair this will happen in everyone's (not even just acting) career.You're gonna butt heads.

But with Hardy it's a pattern. But people always give and gave him a pass. He'll be alright though

Charlize's brain after Tom got in her face:

Sounds like she had good reason to be frustrated, and I've done what she did. And like her after the words were out realized that the other person was not to be ****ed with. Some people you just can not **** with, and you don't always realize it until after you've ****ed with them. Its scary as ****.
