Hollywood’s bitterest on-set feuds, from Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy to Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel and more
‘aggressive’ confrontation, according to a book by Kyle Buchanan, who worked on the film.It is thought to have been sparked by Tom turning up to set late one day, when Charlize, who was a new mum at the time was already in costume and ready to film a scene.According to his book Blood, Sweat, and Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road, which has been serialised by Vanity Fair, Charlize began ‘swearing her head off’ when Tom turned up two hours late and demanded he be fined for every minute production was held up. Charlize then insisted on having a female producer with her on set to help her feel safe, with Tom acknowledging: ‘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, I’d like to think that now that I’m older and uglier, I could rise to that occasion.’The pair have both spoken about the feud in the past and said it was down to the intense filming schedule and their lack of trust in one another.Formerly the best of friends, these Fast and Furious co-stars now refuse to work together in the franchise, with Dwayne Johnson not having appeared in a major Fast movie since 2017’s The Fate of the Furious.Dwayne had spoken about the falling out in 2016, referring to Vin Diesel as he wrote on Instagram: ‘There’s no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one.
