Instead, rumours are swirling that Tom Hardy has been fired. Almost a week ago, Puck reported that Hardy had departed the MobLand set after clashing with cast and crew. As things currently stand, that has been walked back a little \u2013 partly because Paramount has yet to greenlight a third series at all \u2013 but the takeaway remains the same: Tom Hardy sounds like an absolute nightmare to work with.<\/p>\n
According to the Hollywood Reporter, his MobLand behaviour has involved a greater insistence on creative control \u2013 delivering script notes to producer Jez Butterworth and creator Ronan Bennett \u2013 while generally arriving late and locking himself in his trailer for hours on end. \u201cHe kept the cast waiting, [which is] a power play,\u201d a source told the outlet. \u201cKeeping Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and others waiting is career suicide, I would wager.\u201d This appears to be a wager that the source has lost, given that Mirren posted a photo of Hardy\u2019s face on Instagram last night, captioned \u201cLove you now and always\u201d.<\/p>\n
