The 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $370 million at the box office and earning 10 Oscar nominations at the 88th Academy Awards. The Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy starrer, however, was also in the news for issues between the stars of the film. Hardy and Theron reportedly did not get along and often engaged in quarrels. It was also causing problems for the rest of the cast and crew at the film set.
Actress Zoë Kravitz, who portrayed one of Joe’s wives, Toast the Knowing in the 2015 film, shared the details regarding the dispute between her co-stars during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
Charlize Theron And Tom Hardy Did Not Get Along
34-year-old American actress Zoë Kravitz confirmed the feud between Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy during her appearance on Andy Cohen’s talk show. The Batman actress revealed that she did witness the beef among her co-stars while stating that “they didn’t get along.”
She described their disagreements as the effects of staying too long in the desert. “We were also in the desert for so long,” Kravitz said before adding that everyone was tired, confused, and homesick, as all they saw for six months was nothing but sand. “It’s just, you go crazy, you do,” the Divergent actress shared.
She also went on to describe it as a summer camp, saying, “It’s like a summer camp, you know, like at some point everyone has like some kind of issue with somebody.” The Bombshell star also opened up about the issues she and her co-star faced and talked about a gift she received from the Venom star.
Charlize Theron Received a Gift From Tom Hardy
Although Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy were quite stressed out while working together on the 2015 film, the duo left the set on good terms. The Monster star shared during her interview with Esquire that both of them “drove each other crazy.”
She shared that although they did not get along, both of them respected each other. “This is the kind of stuff that nobody wants to understand. There’s a real beauty to that kind of relationship,” Theron said. The 47-year-old actress shared that as they wrapped up the filming, she received a self-portrait with a note from Tom Hardy.
The note with the portrait said, “You are an absolute nightmare, BUT you are also fu*king awesome. I’ll kind of miss you. Love, Tommy.” The Legend actor also had some good words to share about his Mad Max co-star. He called Theron “awesome” and “incredible,” as he said she is one of the best actresses in Hollywood.
