Tense on-set clashes led to Tom Hardy being fired from ‘Mobland’ series, source says

  • Actor Tom Hardy was reportedly fired from the British crime drama "Mobland" after two seasons, following repeated clashes with producers and concerns over his on-set behavior.
  • Unnamed sources claim Hardy frequently caused production delays by refusing to leave his trailer for hours, keeping high-profile co-stars such as Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren waiting.
  • Further reports indicate Hardy often requested to give extensive notes on scripts and expressed displeasure with the increased focus on his co-stars in the Paramount+ series.
  • This alleged conduct is not an isolated incident, recalling Hardy's well-documented feud with Charlize Theron during the filming of "Mad Max: Fury Road," which also involved issues of tardiness and on-set tension.
  • "Mobland," which premiered in 2025 and has already completed its second season, is a highly successful original program for Paramount+, making Hardy's reported departure a significant development for its anticipated third season.
