![]() (L-R) Nicholas Hoult, Tom Hardy, director George Miller and Charlize Theron hit the publicity trail for Mad Max in 2015. Hardy on the other hand was a “method” actor who would stay in the gruff role of Mad Max between takes – and would also keep everyone waiting for hours past his call time while hiding in his trailer. Tensions were already high due to the technically difficult shoot in the deserts of Namibia.Įxcerpts from the book published today in Vanity Fair reveal that “animosity” between the two actors began even before shooting started, in part because of their different methods of working: Theron was no-fuss and punctual, a new mum who wanted to shoot her scenes and return to her baby. The revelations are found in journalist Kyle Buchanan’s new book Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road, an oral history of the difficult shoot for the film, which went on to become one of the most acclaimed movies of the 21st century.Ĭhief among the film’s problems was the much talked about tension between its two leads: Hardy playing the titular Mad Max, and Theron as the fierce one-armed fighter Furiosa. ![]() Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron as they appeared in Mad Max: Fury Road.
