Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron Do Not Get Along?

Stars of the "Mad Max: Fury Road" were not immune to the feud between Hardy and Theron as they have said in previous reports that the two allegedly are not in friendly terms while filming it, Movie Pilot notes. However, director George Miller defends the two main actors that it was because of their passion for the project which caused them to act the way they do as Hardy and Theron's characters were not chummy in the beginning after all.

Theron said in some interviews that she had struggled when working with Hardy in the movie but defends that it was for the best as it would be harder to convey her character's animosity if they were good friends beforehand. As for Hardy, he thinks that the speculations were exaggerated and that he has nothing but respect for Theron. He adds that there was no "hatchet" of any kind to be buried.
