Just days after reports surfaced that Tom Hardy was departing the Paramount+ series "MobLand" due to frequent lateness, alleged script interference, and clashes with producers, the UK tabloid Daily Mail has added to the controversy. The outlet reported that Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren, also a cast member on "MobLand," was deeply displeased with Hardy's behavior, which included an impolite attitude towards her, creating an awkward atmosphere on set.

While rumors of friction between Hardy and Mirren circulated last year, primarily attributed to differing acting styles, the Daily Mail's latest exposé details more direct grievances. Mirren reportedly shared the crew's frustration over Hardy's chronic lateness, with many on set describing him as arrogant, rude, and "acting like a king." Furthermore, Hardy was allegedly caught playing mobile games during scheduled work hours and even appeared to deliberately provoke Mirren. Known for her unwavering professionalism and strict adherence to on-set discipline, Mirren was reportedly deeply upset by these actions, leading to her growing discomfort and worsening mood during their shared scenes.

Sources also indicated that while Hardy is personally charismatic and composed when the cameras are rolling, his demeanor reportedly shifts entirely once filming stops.
