Tom Hardy may still have a place on the “MobLand” set.

It recently made headlines that the actor was fired from the show and would be scrapped from the third season due to alleged clashes with producers on set. His unbecoming attitude towards some members of the crew reportedly fueled the decision to kick him off the hit crime show.

Tom Hardy does not have a clean slate when it comes to fallouts on set. Reports, however, suggest that the movie star is taking a break to rest as the demands of his physical roles have left him “falling to bits.”

Tom Hardy May Still Be A Shoe-In For ‘MobLand’

Whispers swirled that Hardy was fired from his gritty crime drama show after clashes with producers, but now reports show that there is a grey area in the case.

A source with direct knowledge told news outlets that while there is a good chance the actor may not return to the Paramount+ series, there is a slight chance the situation may be overturned.

TMZ reports that, according to the insider, the situation is fluid. The show has not officially been picked up for the third season, so there are still large uncertainties as to where Hardy stands with his role on “MobLand.”

Hardy’s firing reportedly came as a result of a behind-the-scenes clash with producers David Glasser and Jez Butterworth. The situation became heated, and Butterworth allegedly put Paramount in a fix to choose between him and the actor.

Inside The Alleged Altercation Between The Actor And The Producer

As earlier stated, one of the reasons the actor was booted off the show was that he got involved in a series of intense altercations with the hit show’s producers. Sources suggest Hardy has become difficult to work with, as per The Blast.

In addition to the clashes with crew members, the actor was accused of turning up late to set and attempting to change some lines during filming. He also allegedly offered unsolicited notes on the script, leaving crew members dissatisfied. 

According to insiders, Hardy, who plays the role of fixer Harry Da Souza alongside A-list stars Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, had become disgruntled about how the series was becoming more about his co-stars. 

Since premiering on the streamer last year, the London-based crime family drama has been a big success for Paramount+ and was renewed for a second season. While a third season is yet to be announced, it is quite unlikely the series will end with the second season.

The ‘Venom’ Actor Is No Stranger To On-Set Brawls

Hardy has made global headlines for questionable behavior on set, though over a decade ago. His notoriously volatile behavior during the filming of the 2015 blockbuster “Mad Max: Fury Road” was one for the books.

Previous reports detailed that he got into heated verbal exchanges with his co-star, Charlize Theron, who reportedly accused him of coming very late to set and called him a “f-cking c-nt.”

The altercation left Theron scared of his “aggressive” behavior, and she had to get a female producer to be with her at all times for “protection.” 

The situation escalated, and Hardy, according to director George Miller, refused to continue working until he had to be “coaxed out of his trailer” to work. The actor accepted responsibility for his wrongdoing, admitting that he should have done things differently.

“In hindsight, I was in over my head in many ways. The pressure on both of us was overwhelming at times. What she needed was a better, perhaps more experienced partner in me,” he previously said, addressing his clash with Theron. 

A Sabbatical Is In The Works For The Actor 

Last month, headlines carried that Hardy would be stepping away from the spotlight following the wrap of his latest crime drama “MobLand.” The reason for the acting hiatus was revealed to be that the demands of his physical roles have left him “falling to bits.” 

There has been no reported timeline for this break, although it was noted that he plans to be out of the spotlight for the foreseeable future on his major career break.

As shared by The Blast, Hardy will be stepping back “so he can have a rest,” as he previously complained that his demanding roles are physically wearing him out. 

Starring in hit action films like “Venom,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” and “Taboo,” with rigorous physical activities and stunts, the physical roles seemed to have taken a toll on him, and he may go off-screen for several years to recover. 

Besides his desire to keep his health and physical abilities in check, the TV show star wants to spend quality time with his family. Hardy is married to actress Charlotte Riley, and they share two children. 

Tom Hardy Likes Real-Life Physical Activities

Even though his on-screen roles are physically demanding, Hardy seemingly likes them like that and would not ask for any less. Off-screen, the actor participates in martial arts competitions and even won a gold medal at a Jiu-Jitsu competition in England in 2022.

Gasps filled the room when the actor, who was a blue-belt holder at the time, showed up as a competitor at the 2022 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open Championship. According to his opponent, who had participated in over five tournaments, the TV star was his strongest competitor.  

According to The Blast, Hardy later explained that he joined the competition to support a global nonprofit organization named REORG. The nonprofit promotes the sport as a means of therapy for active military and veterans who are suffering from mental health issues. 

He further explained that REORG  utilized “Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Physical Fitness Training as a form of therapy to overcome physical and mental challenges, strengthen social connections, and improve overall health and well-being.” Utilizing his training helped him feel calmer and a deeper sense of inner resilience.
