‘Dark Knight Rises’ star Tom Hardy praises Charlize Theron in ‘Mad Max Fury Road’
A Mad Max film was hampered by production delay after productin delay, but now fans will get to see “Inception” and “Dark Knight Rises” star Tom Hardy play the iconic role made famous by Mel Gibson. Talking about “Mad Max Fury Road” co-star Charlize Theron, Hardy was asked by Esquire (via M Starz) about the rumored strife between the two stars.
“That’s disappointing,” the 36-year-old actor said when he was told of the rumor. “I think she is f****** awesome. I think she’s incredible. I think she’s one of the most talented actresses of our generation.”
He added: “But it’s very interesting, the concept of what danger is, and this has nothing to do with Charlize of “Mad Max” actually, but this has to do with life in general.”
In the May edition of US Esquire magazine, Hardy also speaks about his reputation as an “action star” and how he doesn’t see himself that way by any means.
“I don’t feel very manly,” Tom said in regards to the roles he plays and how the public perceives him. “I don’t feel rugged and strong and capable in real life, not how I imagine a man ought to be. So I seek it, to mimic it and maybe understand it, or maybe to draw it into my own reality. People who are scary, they terrify me, but I can imitate them.”
He continued: “I’m not a fighter. I’m a petite little bourgeois boy from London. I don’t fight, I mimic.”
Hardy stars alongside Theron in the “Mad Max” reboot with Zoe Kravitz, Nicholas Hoult and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and is directed by George Miller. The film also stars Hugh Keays-Byrne, Nathan Jones, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Courtney Eaton
