00:00Good people, they ain't no good.
00:11Mobland is known for its explosive storylines.
00:14However, behind the scenes, the drama
00:16is revolving all around one guy, Tom Hardy.
00:19Despite his top billing on the hit Paramount Plus series,
00:22the 48-year-old Venom actor was reportedly fired after two
00:26seasons due to on-set issues.
00:28And it's far from his first clash he's
00:30had with cast and crew on past projects.
00:32So let's break them all down.
00:34Starting with Charlize Theron.
00:36In Kyle Buchanan's book Blood, Sweat, and Chrome,
00:38the Wild and True Story of Mad Max Fury Road,
00:41a camera operator on the 2015 film
00:44detailed the time Theron unloaded on Hardy
00:47after he was three hours late to set.
00:49She sat in the truck the whole time,
00:51no bathroom breaks, to make a point.
00:53And when Hardy finally arrived tardy for the party,
00:56she blew up at him.
00:57Quote, she jumps out of the war rig,
00:59and she starts swearing her head off at him, saying,
01:02find the fucking $100,000 for every minute
01:05that he's held up this crew.
01:06How disrespectful you are.
01:08Elsewhere in the oral history,
01:10Hardy was described as quite aggressive and threatening
01:12to the point where Theron asked for protection.
01:15So a producer was assigned to her at all times.
01:18Theron said, it got to a place where it was kind of out
01:20of hand, and there was a sense that maybe sending a woman
01:23producer down could maybe equalize some of it,
01:25because I didn't feel safe.
01:27Next up, Shia LaBeouf.
01:29On their 2012 film Lawless, the two actors got into a physical
01:32fight, which director John Hillcoat confirmed to Collider.
01:36He said it escalated to the point where they had to both be restrained.
01:39As for the longstanding rumor that LaBeouf actually KO'd Hardy,
01:43turns out not true.
01:45Here's what he divulged on Hot Ones in 2019.
01:48Are the rumors of you knocking out Tom Hardy on the set of Lawless
01:52overstated?
01:53Yeah, it's a bunch of bullsh**.
01:55We used to wrestle all the time, and he was just, he was a big f***ing person.
01:59LaBeouf went on to detail the spicy story, saying Hardy walked in on him,
02:03naked in bed with a woman, which led to the two men wrestling each other.
02:07We wound up like inching over the stairs where the stairs were,
02:09and he fell down the stairs, and he wound up hurting his back.
02:12So for the rest of the shoot, he told everybody I knocked him out,
02:15but that wasn't the case.
02:15We were having some weird like cutie wrestling match.
02:19In other words, don't mess with the beef.
02:21But wait, there's more.
02:23Hardy's social issues go way back to Sir Patrick Stewart.
02:27In the 2002 film Star Trek Nemesis,
02:30Hardy played a clone of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
02:33Stewart wrote in his 2023 memoir,
02:35I didn't have a single exciting scene to play.
02:37And the actor who portrayed the movie's villain, Shinzen,
02:41was an odd, solitary young man from London.
02:43His name was Tom Hardy.
02:45Tom wouldn't engage with any of us on a social level,
02:48never said good morning, never said good night,
02:50and spent the hours he wasn't needed on set in his trailer,
02:53with his girlfriend.
02:55Jock it up to nerves?
02:56It was one of his first big roles,
02:58and Hardy later claimed he was terrified on that set,
03:01and quote, genuinely out of my depth.
03:03Well, nearly 25 years later on Mobland,
03:06Hardy's still rubbing English acting legends the wrong way.
03:09A source told the Daily Mail,
03:11Helen Mirren is getting increasingly frustrated with Tom and his attitude.
03:15He can be late to filming too, and that is annoying for Dame Helen,
03:19who is extremely professional and disciplined.
03:21His tone is something Dame Helen doesn't like, along with his lateness.
03:25The Queen herself also didn't like how he was always playing on his phone,
03:28when he was supposed to be somewhere else.
03:30The insider added that Hardy swaggers around like a king on set,
03:34and is very, very arrogant.
03:35And while his character is the charming and calm one,
03:38he's quite the opposite when the cameras stop.
03:40Hardy plays Harry D'Souza, a fixer for a London crime family.
03:44Mobland broke streaming records for Paramount when it premiered in 2022,
03:48and while season three hasn't been officially confirmed,
03:51season two wrapped in March, and director Guy Ritchie says it's coming late in 2026,
03:56although it might be the final bow for Hardy.
03:59Reports also say he clashed with executive producer Jez Butterworth,
04:02was consistently late, gave frequent script notes, changed dialogue,
04:06and was upset with the ensemble cast, which also includes A-lister Pierce Brosnan.
04:11How could anyone be mad at Pierce Brosnan?
04:14Unless, of course, you're Mrs. Doubtfire.
04:16It was a run by fruiting!
