To think that Tom Hardy is a misogynist?

He's been fired from Mobland for being hard to work with

Apparently he's been like this on other sets and seems to enjoy intimidating women, with Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron being named

I reckon he gives misogynist vibes and no longer find him sexy 😒😒

Who are the two prominent actresses have publicly complained about Tom Hardy? As you raised Mobland I presume you include Mirren as one of them.

In which case, please show where she, herself, has publicly complained about Hardy.

I'll wait.

He made work hard for Charlize Theron, then made work hard for helen mirren and then the writers who tried to sack him because of his behaviour 🙄🙄

I mean we're all speculating here girl, its all alleged. Like most celeb gossip - please dont take me to court 🙄🙄

Tom Hardy is a misogynist imo 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ - hes just gotten away with it this time

Two women saying similar things is concerning

Twitter celeb followers and critics etc are very much liberal

Labelling her as what is considered the opposite (not trying to get into a debate re politics) would upset that particular group

Agree.

One of his best friends, Kelly Marcel and him go way back, she worked with him on Bronson back in 2008 and he advocated for her to be the writer on the Venom films. How misogynistic!

I mean, he is a handsome man in Hollywood with a history of addiction. He's obviously no angel but definitely not gay or misogynistic.

And his wife is genuinely one of the most lovely people you could meet, she is so funny and friendly.

Kelly is the close friend I was referring to. She also directed the third Venom. We went to the UK premiere (third time of meeting Tom).

Christ alive, the bollocks being trawled out on here.

I work in theatre but have friends in the film industry. As a result, I have met Tom three times but am close friends with one of his close friends whom he has worked with on several films. She is female. She agrees he has kept people waiting but absolutely not misogynistic. The fact he has some close female friends who've known him since before he was famous tends to back that up.

Yes, he can be difficult to work with. He himself admits that.

As an exec producer on Mobland he is able/entitled to have a say in scripts. It's why so many actors now are executive producers (look at the credits on some films but especially a lot of US shows; the leads are almost always execs too).

People automatically believing the Hollywood Reporter and the like are idiots. They exist only by making stuff up when there's not much going on.

In my encounters with him he was perfectly pleasant and surprisingly normal compared to many I've met. His wife is lovely.

So we should... believe you instead?

The man has been called out more than once now by women - I think that allows for speculation

Why didn’t you say that then? It’s entirely different to the post I responded to.

😭😭??

His star power means shes had to backtrack

Iirc it wasn't solely her who wanted him out, he was pissing off writers

No. How could it? She’s got a 60 year career behind her. I saw her play Ophelia at Stratford when I was 17 - 55 years ago. She was breathtakingly good and she’s just got better and better.

Sadly not 😄

I do wonder what has happened though

Has his star power trumped hers?

He was brilliant in Taboo - still sad that only got one series.
i think it’s hard to know from that report - I suspect he’s not the easiest to work with but that doesn’t necessarily mean misogyny .I can imagine Helen Mirren plus Pierce Brosnan being an irritatingly luvvie combination. He sounds quite reflective and honest over the issues filming Mad Max.
He certainly doesn’t sound like he has Jared Leto levels of method acting sociopathy but that’s a low bar to set!

I've never found him a heart throb but he was SUPERB in Taboo - excellent TV. FWIW I saw a clip of a video interview he did, from last year I think, still expressing intention to do a season 2... we can live in hope!

Everyone is now backtracking on this. Production say he’s not been fired and Helen Mirren posted a picture of him on her Instagram saying she loves him now and always 😆

Not sure about misogynist - the complaints seem to be about lateness and arrogance, not poor treatment of women specifically.

Maybe not a.misogynist after all.But rude and a bit entitled. Can stand persistent lateness. Shows a lack of respect.

38woman · 27/05/2026 18:49

If you see him in clips of interviews and press conferences he is anything but. He calls out sexism and mysogyny. He has no tolerance to small minded questions.
