I was in survival mode I was really scared ****less. 'Thor' actor Idris Elba won big last night at the 22nd annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. 'Game of Thrones' and 'Mad Max Fury Road' also scored awards. Idris Elba made history last night as the first man to ever take home two awards during the same award show. I don’t think I had that clarity when we were making the movie. Idris Elba, 'Mad Max Fury Road', 'Game of Thrones' Score SAG Awards. Now, I have a very clear perspective on what went down. “I don’t want to make excuses for bad behaviour, but it was a tough shoot. 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. “That was the turning point, because then she said, ‘I want someone as protection.’” 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.” 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”. “She didn’t go to the bathroom, didn’t do anything. “She was really going to make a point,” recalled camera operator Mark Goellnicht.

They included Theron, then a new mother whose baby was in childcare nearby while she worked.ĭespite 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. Bomshell Abbey Lee Kershaw may look like Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) from Game of Thrones in her roll in Mad Max Fury Road.

In one instance, Hardy was due on set at 8am, along with the rest of the cast and crew required that day.

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. 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. Hardy starred as the title character in the film, played by Mel Gibson in the original trilogy. 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. 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.
