Tom Hardy Admits He’s Difficult To Work With

Tom hardy has admitted that he’s difficult to work with in an interview in the May edition of British Esquire.

While decorating mugs with the interviewer (really), the ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ star said: “I have a reputation for being difficult. And I am. I am actually.

"But I’m not unreasonable. It used to be that if somebody hurt me, I’d lash out a bit in order to get them to stop.

"It ultimately comes from fear," he explains. "If I cause enough of a mess, then people will never ask me again to do something I don’t want to do. But that sort of backfires after a while so you don’t want to do that. You grow up. And it’s like, you know, you’ve got to watch how you behave. Because I’ve got the ‘he’s volatile’ thing."

There were recent rumours of clashes between Hardy and his co-star Charlize Theron on the set of ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’. A source told perezhilton.com, “Charlize and Tom are just not getting on together. He prefers to isolate himself and Charlize thinks he’s a weirdo!”

The actor refuted the reported rift in a later interview, calling the rumours “disappointing.”

Hardy also goes into his personal life in the interview, explaining that it’s his son that keeps him down to earth.

"If I want to go down with my little boy [Louis, who will turn 7 next month] to Crock A Doodle and paint ceramics, I’m doing that. And nothing’s going to stop me. Anything else that gets in the way of [mine and my family’s life] goes first. I don’t say that lightly. Because I’m financially secure enough to say that, within my means.”

He continued by saying, “I’m not a multi-multi-millionaire; I haven’t got enough money to survive my whole life and look after my friends and family.”

He adds, “but I would rather be able to go to Crock A Doodle, and be with my dogs, and walk down the street, and people know me and say hello. That’s great, it’s like being a local in an old-fashioned sitcom, Cheers or whatever, but in real life. You know me? Great. That’s cool. Totally. Brilliant. Love it. At least I know I’m not alone in the world.”

Hardy’s next film is Cold War thriller ‘Child 44’, which hits cinemas on 17 April (watch a trailer below) while ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ is out on 14 May.
