To think that Tom Hardy is a misogynist?

236 replies

mumofoneAloneandwell · 26/05/2026 15:39

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 😒😒

You are not unreasonable to think that Tom Hardy is a misogynist - you are however unreasonable to think it because of what you've read in media gossip and tittle tattle.

I don’t t think men not acting well around women means they are gay …

Edited

Quite the reverse usually. The gay men I know and have known treated women better than many of their heterosexual counterparts.

Good grief, this is unbearable 😱

I find HM smug, self-righteous and a bit shit nowadays.

She peaked in Prime Suspect and has really not really bettered her acting since Jane Tennison, but for some reason she is treated like she's up there with Judy Dench and the late Maggie Smith.

I admire her determination that you can still be sexy and whaatever age she is, but that's about it. I imagine her lovie-ness is off the scale.

I've liked him in some roles. I don't think stardom and dickishness automatically go together. Paul Newman was renowned to be very easy to work with and a team player with all on set, throughout a very long career.

There is a story about Clark Gable repeatedly being kept waiting by Marilyn Monroe who was sadly all over the place, while filming The Misfits in burning sun and heat. People were outraged and his response was apparently "Leave the kid alone, she's alright", he was genuinely protective of her. He was very ill and died 12 days after it wrapped.

Everyone has bad days and bad times and while it's possible that TH is consistently unprofessional and difficult, it's also possible this is atypical. Time will tell.

Jane143 · 27/05/2026 09:14

I don’t care. I just like the thought of him in my bed!

Helen Mirren was godawful in Mobland, as was Pierce Brosnan. The accents 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Only watched if for Tom Hardy!

The Helen Mirren "Oirish" accent was awful.

Separation from his wife? He’s just been pictured on holiday with her in the Caribbean looking very happy and loved up.

Wait and see....

ChalkOutlines · 27/05/2026 08:31

Also, are we talking about the same Helen Mirren who said Mike Tyson is not a rapist?

Newspapers and the media are very adept at putting people down, there are usually two sides to all that they publish.
If Tom Hardy is having issues I hope he resolves them, not because he’s an actor or famous, but because he’s a person with a real life.

ChalkOutlines · 27/05/2026 08:24

I read the article. He sounds like a dick (not surprising, most actors are) to everyone, but where exactly did you get misogyny from?

Stop being an unrelenting arsehole. The more you try to defend yourself, the more embarrsasing you become.
And who told you 'i'd read about it'?

His friends and family may be on this chat board?
Be careful about what you are ssying.

I'm not defending myself? I'm just replying to you because you keep talking to me. Assume you're bored or combative from heat stroke.

You're so caring about Tom and his issues but you are quite happy to try to give me grief.

Typical hypocrite.

This whole thread is about misogyny and not his "great pain" you've read about and tried to assert as truth.

Stop being dramatic.

Ponoka7 · 27/05/2026 08:03

I agree with others that it isn't misogyny, perhaps he doesn't play the luvvie acting game, as said, so HM saw it as arrogance. He was the star drawing the viewing figures. He is put in roles that need that swagger. Oliver Reed was an immersive actor. I liked that he said he was out of his depth on the Mad Max set and appologised. Pierce Brosnan asks the extras to go to the pub with him and then talks about what he's got and how much his properties are worth. He is a bit of a knob, he sees himself as a king holding court.

He's very good looking but I always got the impression he's a bit of a knob. Takes himself VERY seriously and overacts to the point of being cringe. Seems to be a privileged posh boy but prefers to be seen as a slightly dangerous sarf London bloke. He is kind to dogs though, so there's that.

It's very well known in the industry that he has been back on Class A drugs for the last 5 months.
A man who came from priviledge, got more and now is on a road to self destruction.
Ring a bell anyone?

But you find him 'hot' so it's ok!
