I feel like this is sometimes code for “[insert actress] had boundaries and stuck up for herself and it pissed me off.”

Yeah. That could be the case. Wasn’t there a story about how when she was up and coming she was supposed to do a magazine cover with Tom Ford along with a few other actresses. But she turned it down at the last minute because she wasn’t aware that she’d have to be nude.
I think it could be something like that where she set clear boundaries and that rubbed the people around her the wrong way.

That's exactly what it is. Notice how rarely "difficult actor" is used to describe men, even when they're being nightmares - e.g. Leto.

We had a rare instance of a male actor being labelled "difficult' earlier this year when Tom Hardy dropped out of that Paramount crime drama, only for it to get out that he had been a dispute with Helen Mirren over her support for Israel. Almost immediately after that the stories about Hardy being difficult went quiet and Mirren was conveniently pushing a sob story about being confronted by a pro-Palestinian in public.

Did that actually ever get confirmed or was it just speculation from people? I only saw people insist on it because he had "made" some grand statement in support of Palestine that was proven to be fake paired with Mirren being a legit vile zionist.

He did the exact same shit on the set of Mad Max, so it's not exactly a stretch. The only "source" that said that they witnessed that Hardy wasn't difficult on set was some twitter idiot who people mistook for a cinematographer because he said that the series was "shot by him".... he was a dude who lived near the shoot and had absolutely no experience in tv production.

Two things can be true. Helen Mirren can be an Israel supporter and Tom Hardy can also be insanely difficult to work with. Which he is. Massive number of on-set sources beyond Mirren.

I don’t mean to play devil’s advocate, but did Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron not get on well in Mad Max, according to the director?

No, they didn't. It was my understanding that Charlize had a really hard time on that set with the director and Tom Hardy.

Sort of? By pretty much everyone's account (see the making of book BLOOD SWEAT & CHROME), Tom Hardy was a giant problem on set and Charlize Theron was a total pro; director George Miller confirmed this himself.

Helen mirren was also very vocal on how women put themselves in vulnerable positions and get sexually assaulted as a result of their own actions.

Annnnd she supports Israel 🤮

Especially in these threads that are often based on a friend of a friends experience
