Helen Mirren praises Tom Hardy amid ‘MobLand’ firing reports

Helen Mirren says she'd work with Tom Hardy again 'in f-cking heartbeat' despite 'MobLand' firing reports

Helen Mirren has spoken out about the possibility of working with Tom Hardy again following reports that the actor was fired from their series ‘MobLand’ after allegedly keeping co-stars including Mirren and Pierce Brosnan waiting on set and clashing with producers. Despite the reported tensions, Mirren made her feelings about Hardy abundantly clear in a new interview, leaving no room for ambiguity.”Absolutely. In a f-cking heartbeat,” she told Variety when asked if she would work with Hardy again.

Helen Mirren on Tom Hardy and his process

Mirren was effusive in her praise for her former co-star, describing him as someone with a unique approach to his craft that she has come to understand and respect. “I love Tom, I think he’s the most amazing actor,” she said. “Different actors have different processes. I’ve learnt over the years that some people get to things faster. As long as what’s on the screen is fantastic, I’m totally chilled with however someone gets there.”
