Tom Hardy has made headlines for his behavior on the set of MobLand. Allegedly, the famous actor disrupted production by refusing to leave his trailer for hours. This situation is doubly damaging from a PR perspective, as he previously faced a similar issue on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road. At that time, it was reported that Charlize Theron told Hardy, "Fine him a hundred thousand dollars for every minute you keep the crew waiting. How disrespectful you are!"
According to a source close to the MobLand production, "Keeping Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, and others waiting is career suicide." While such statements are often heard in the industry, they actually reflect a problematic attitude. Keeping any actor and crew waiting for hours is unacceptable, no matter the circumstances. The attitude of "Brosnan and Mirren are royalty, how can they be treated this way!" implies that the feelings of celebrities are more important, which perpetuates a sense of entitlement.
Additionally, Miles Teller also made headlines this week. He filed a complaint with IndieWire regarding a profile published in Esquire magazine in 2015. This profile was filled with repeated statements suggesting that Teller was "an idiot." This situation has brought the profile back into circulation, and many readers thought that the Top Gun: Maverick star was indeed a bit "idiotic" at that time. Such incidents illustrate how celebrities' reputations can be affected.
