Tom Hardy’s “career suicide” was blamed on his constant tardiness.
“He wouldn’t come out of his trailer for hours at a time,” a source told The Hollywood Reporter about the Mobland actor’s on-set behavior while filming Season 2.
“He made the cast wait.[It’s]a power play,” the source claimed. “I’d wager it would be career suicide to keep Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren waiting.”
The media reported that it was unclear why Hardy was allegedly locked in the trailer.
Page Six has reached out to Hardy’s representatives.
Last week, it was reported that the 48-year-old “Peaky Blinders” alum had been fired from the Paramount+ series after playing Harry da Souza for two seasons.
A source told Variety that Hardy was removed from the show following “on-set issues” with executive producer Jez Butterworth and 101 Studios.
Additionally, according to Pac News, Hardy was consistently late for production during season two, frequently writing notes on the script, changing lines of dialogue, and allegedly becoming angry with the ensemble cast, including Mirren and Brosnan.
A source told the Daily Mail that Hardy “infuriated” the Queen actress, 80, with his behavior on set.
“Tom’s character is charming. He’s a gentle person, but when the cameras stop it’s the complete opposite. Dame Helen is fun. She’s a total professional and she’s worked with so many people over the years,” the source claimed.
Sources claimed that Mirren was spotted playing a game on her cell phone when the “Venom” actor was supposed to be in another part of the set.
“She is becoming increasingly frustrated with Tom and his attitude,” a source claimed to the paper. “He is sometimes late for filming, which is a nuisance to Dame Helen, who is very professional and disciplined. His tone, along with his tardiness, is something Dame Helen doesn’t like.”
Sources claimed the Oscar nominee “struts like a king” on set and is “very, very arrogant.”
Over the years, Hardy has reportedly clashed several times on set with his co-stars, including Charlize Theron, Shia LaBeouf and Patrick Stewart.
