Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron combined their excellence in presenting Mad Max: Fury Road which instantly captivated audiences. While their on-screen chemistry was a complete bang, their off-screen bond was otherwise, creating quite a buzz even before the production kicked off.

As Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga gears up for its world premiere later this month, in a recent interview with The Telegraph, director George Miller reflected on the feud between stars of his first movie, Mad Max Fury Road, Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron.
George Miller’s Furiosa was critically hailed after the movie’s Australian premiere this week. The film, released a decade after 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road’s massive success, is a prequel to the post-apocalyptic franchise. Furiosa stars Anya Taylor-Joy in the lead with Chris Hemsworth costarring in a villainous role.
Despite the success, the franchise has been marred by reports of a notorious on-set feud between the stars of the first movie, Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy.

With his “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel movie “Furiosa” gearing up for both its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and its theatrical release later this month, director George Miller recently spoke to The Telegraph and reflected on the notorious feud that broke out between stars Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron during the grueling “Fury Road” production. Miller said at the center of the feud was the simple fact that “they were just two very different performers.”
“Tom has a damage to him but also a brilliance that comes with it, and whatever was going on with him at the time, he had to be coaxed out of his trailer,” Miller said, more or less confirming reports that Hardy’s tardiness drew a wedge between him and his co-star. “Whereas Charlize was incredibly disciplined – a dancer by training, which told in the precision of her performance – and always the first one on set.

When “Mad Max Fury Road” was released back in 2015, its two stars, Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy, admitted that they were at each other’s throats during filming. Now, new details are surfacing in a new book about just how ugly it got between the two of them.
New York Times pop culture reporter Kyle Buchanan spoke with over 100 cast and crew members who worked on George Miller’s Oscar-winning blockbuster to write the new oral history book “Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road.” In the film, Theron plays Imperator Furiosa, a post-apocalyptic warrior who betrays her tyrannical leader Immortan Joe to save the young women he keeps as breeders.
But her escape plan takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Max Rockatansky (Hardy), forcing them to work together despite their initial distrust to escape Immortan Joe’s clutches.

Playing warrior Furiosa onscreen proved to be more of a battle than Charlize Theron expected.
The “Mad Max: Fury Road” star revealed that she butted heads with co-star Tom Hardy to the point of requesting producer Denise Di Novi to be on set to ensure there were no future issues.
A particularly explosive argument over Hardy showing up late to work led to Theron slamming the “Dark Knight Rises” alum for being “disrespectful,” according to camera operator Mark Goellnicht, as reported by New York Times writer Kyle Buchanan in his new book, “Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,’” excerpted in Vanity Fair.
“[Hardy] was quite aggressive. She really felt threatened, and that was the turning point,” Goellnicht added.
Theron opened up about the tense dynamic on the set of George Miller‘s 2015 prequel film, which was years in the making.

Turns out, “Mad Max: Fury Road” is paved with tension.
George Miller‘s 2015 prequel film was years in the making before landing co-leads Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron to portray young Mad Max and Furiosa, respectively. Yet once production started, the real issues seemed to begin.
“It seemed to implode in preproduction. We weren’t even shooting and there seemed to be this animosity,” first assistant director P.J. Voeten told New York Times writer Kyle Buchanan for his new book, “Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,'” excerpted in Vanity Fair.
Open Road Entertainment editor J. Houston Yang noted, “It was clear that those two people hated each other. They didn’t want to touch each other, they didn’t want to look at each other, they wouldn’t face each other if the camera wasn’t actively rolling.”

The “Mad Max: Fury Road” oral history book “Blood, Sweat & Chrome” is now available for purchase, and with it comes a lot of new information about the set feud between leading actors Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. As Theron explains in the book (via Vanity Fair), “It was like two parents in the front of the car. We were either fighting or we were icing each other — I don’t know which one is worse — and they had to deal with it in the back. It was horrible! We should not have done that; we should have been better. I can own up to that.”
Both Theron and Hardy have spoken about the feud in the past, citing the film’s grueling production schedule and an overall lack of trust in each other as inciting incidents. But as “Blood, Sweat & Chrome” reveals, there was a specific set incident that exploded...
