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 😒😒

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

I mean, they tried to fire him and then she got branded an anti Palestinian and was trolled or cancelled online

Now hes back

🤔

Has she been cancelled online though?

Honestly, how old are you?

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).

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

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 🙄🙄

I’ve never heard anything bad about Tom Hardy before this tbh. I think he is a brilliant actor. We’ll never know the full truth.

Ah, so you were wrong, only one actress has herself publicly called out Tom Hardy's behaviour. Charlize Theron.

There were similar problems on Cider House Rules involving Tobey Maguire and Charlie Theron. Maybe she is difficult to work with too?

You're not just speculating, though, are you? There's been insinuations about his sexuality, his marriage, that he's back on drugs. All because of some nonsense about one TV show in a shit rag that's been picked up by other media and mostly since discredited.

And do not EVER, refer to me as girl.

You didn’t though. You made a statement, encouraged speculation over his charaCter, sexuality , marriage etc. You even went as far as giving a “better choice” , which turned out to be pretty awful himself.

Could he be a shit? Obviously. Is he a shit? I have no fucking idea.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 30/05/2026 14:34

He has a long standing rep for keeping people waiting and holding up productions. A friend of mine was a location manager for something TH was in a few years ago and he had some choice language about TH’s unprofessional behaviour and timekeeping. He would happily not work with him again.

IdentifyingAsAWoollyMammoth · 30/05/2026 14:39

No, I won't calm down actually. You're slagging off my close friend's friend and someone I've met a few times socially who was perfectly decent.

The crap in papers is one thing. A thread asking if you think it's true Hardy is difficult to work with would be one thing. Many actors are; he himself has said he is. That's fair game. It's also possible that some of that could be due to anxiety and depression which he suffers from.

But you didn't just do that. You began with possible misogyny and moved on to his marriage being over, that the reason for this was because he's gay really, and he's back on drugs.

Just because someone earns their living in the public eye you think it's ok to make vile insinuations. For all you know, his lovely wife might be on bloody MN and read your shit.

Oh no. I just watched it. What crap. Yucky! I feel so sorry for people, I really do, that this is passing as entertainment. We deserve better. I also didn’t realise TC is so … juvenile looking. Uurrggh.

So 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I suspect hes a misogynist given that two women have now complained about him - it's not easy to do that, clearly, people will come for you

Hes open about his sexuality, which is one thing I like about him

We're not in a court of law, let women speculate

And I said i fancy john hamm more - he's objectively hotter looking imo, although clearly a very questionable man given his having hazed someone so badly, which i had no idea about!

But there's other women saying similar things to the opposite opinion?

People don't always get along. Somebody can be difficult or have personality clashes with others without being a misogynist, especially actors/musicians/artists.

He hasn't broken the law, he hasn't harmed anybody, he's acknowledged he can be difficult and talked about previous struggles/issues. Nobody's perfect.

Watch his stuff or don't, it's up to you but it's weird you're spending 10 plus pages on mn trashing somebody you've never met / will never know the whole story on to be honest. There's plenty of other ways to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon.

You think that getting to 48years old and having 2 women not like your work practices means you're a misogynist?

Maybe he had a bad day, maybe hes a bit of a dickhead sometimes?

I don't think you understand what misogyny is. Not getting along with someone of the opposite sex once in a while doesn't make a misogynist.

What has he specifically said that is soley against WOMEN? That couldn't be applied to a male coworker? What misogynistic, anti female remarks?

Because he may just not like Charlize because he doesn't like her, not soley because of her sex. He has co-starred with countless women. Watch his interactions with Jessica Chastain, who sang his gentlemanly praises.

A misogynist would treat EVERY female co-worker like shit because he has a problem with all women.

Do you understand the difference or would you like me to bring it down to simplified level for you, girl? (And I do suspect you are but a girl on half term holiday)
