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 😒😒

I don't care about his personality or opinions. He's an actor, I just need him to look pretty & deliver his lines well.

Even if you take every word of that article as gospel, none of it says misogyny, just general arseholery and a lack of professionalism.

This. I don’t think he’s a misogynist, just a bit of an arsehole who winds people up by his tardiness and lack of professionalism which then leads to arguments.

WhyamIinahandcartandwherearewegoing · 27/05/2026 07:26

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

Only watched if for Tom Hardy!

LuckyHazelFox · 27/05/2026 07:06

I used to fancy him but unlike Tom Hiddleston and James Norton, his attractiveness is overshadowed by his arrogance. The other two show warmth and humility.

I’ve never understood his appeal.
To me he seems to have a moist and flabby face. I get the feeling he probably smells sour.

😆

LuckyHazelFox · 27/05/2026 07:04

😆 🤣 😂 sorry, that was to the sit on his face in a heartbeat post!

augustusglupe · 27/05/2026 04:57

I’ve only seen him in Legend. He was brilliant in that.

MoonriseKingdom - I can imagine Helen Mirren plus Pierce Brosnan being an irritatingly luvvie combination

So can I, I’m just not keen on either.

Amira96 · 27/05/2026 04:49

I think an awful lot of actors/celebs are arrogant and can be difficult to work with, the fame goes to their heads. I've not seen anything about him being misogynistic specifically

2021x · 27/05/2026 04:48

I think it is wise to not have any emotional attachment to any actor or famous person. Being famous/infamous for any reason other than circumstance requires a level of intensity and self-obsession that is unappealing to the average folk.

All the stories if this person doing this, or not doing this are all PR.

MoonriseKingdom · 27/05/2026 04:36

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!

Was that the recent one? With margot Robbie?

Show quote history

No, the recent one was Jacob Elordi. Hardy did one years ago.

Jon Hamm @mumofoneAloneandwell ? This Jon Hamm? https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-14639675/tortured-pledge-mark-sanders-jon-hamm-fraternity-abuse-allegations.html

If you don't want a DM article there's plenty of older ones from various sites - this was just the most recent one I could find.

Don't disagree with you overall though, although I cynically believe they're all misogynists until proven otherwise.

Read heartbreaking words of pledge who was tortured by Jon Hamm

Former Sigma Nu pledge Mark Sanders detailed the harrowing abuse he allegedly suffered at the hands of Hamm and others while at the University of Texas.

He’s autistic and neurotypical people often don’t like the autists.

He seems a nice guy to me - never heard anything misogynistic from him. Only really hear about nice things he’s done.

Also, making digs about his appearance is not on.

See he gives me gross short man syndrome vibes

Hes no john hamm

Short man syndrome is an awful term. I’ve met plenty of lovely short men and utterly awful tall ones. Height has zero bearing on someone’s personality and I have no clue why women think taller men are hotter.

I don’t know anything about Tom Hardy really so can’t comment. If this is only really being spoken about in the DM, I’m at pains to listen to a word. Also intrigued by rumours circulating about him being homosexual when he’s in a 2 decade long relationship with the mother of his children but like whatever.

Rumour has it that he is pro-Palestine and Helen Mirren is openly pro-Isr*el. He was late to set a couple of times so she asked for him to be fired.

What I've heard, anyway.

I have met him 4 times, once in a professional capacity, once at a signing and twice in a personal/social setting.

In every situation he was an utter gentleman. Engaging, funny and seemed to be deeply interested in everyone he talked to.

And I'm an old feminist battleaxe, so I have a good radar for BS.

likelysuspect · 26/05/2026 19:57

He's got a funny voice as well.

lornad00m · 26/05/2026 19:54

Him being misogynistic would not surprise me at all. He's got a chip on his shoulder about being a posh boy. So is constantly trying to prove he's a hard man. Kinda' like Guy Ritchie.

Never liked him. Not that great an actor. And not much to look at.
