Tom Hardy & Charlize Theron

TheMad Max: Fury Roadstars addressed the tension between them both on screen and off when they participated in an oral history about the film published inThe New York Times.
Theron admitted that she was was also “putting up walls.” She toldThe New York Times, “I think because of my own fear, we were putting up walls to protect ourselves instead of saying to each other, ‘This is scary for you and it’s scary for me, too. Let’s be nice to each other.’ In a weird way, we were functioning like our characters: Everything was about survival.”
She continued, “The biggest thing that was driving that entire production was fear. I was incredibly scared because I’d never done anything like it. I think the hardest thing between me and George [Miller] is that he had the movie in his head and I was so desperate to understand it.”
For his part, Hardy “would agree” with Theron, adding, “I think in hindsight, I was in over my head in many ways. The pressure on both of us was overwhelming at times. What [Theron] needed was a better, perhaps more experienced, partner in me. That’s something that can’t be faked. I’d like to think that now that I’m older and uglier, I could rise to that occasion.”

TheWill & Gracecostars reportedly don’t get along as well offscreen as they do on. Fans were in a tizzy when they noticed that the pair had unfollowed one another on Instagram, and that they were rarely seen in photos together. The rumor mill began churning again when it was announced that Mullally would not be in two of the final 18 episodes of the beloved series.
In April 2020, the creators of the show addressed the tensions on set in an interview withEW. When asked how they were able to wrap the series after Mullally stepped away for a few episodes, creator Max Mutchnick said, “We always work under this kind of motto that everything’s about the work. It’s just about the work. And so if we stay true to that, then we just keep you guys out of whatever happened on the set this year because it would have done nothing but get in the way of the stories that we wanted to tell.:
He added, “It was not an easy year, but the permanent legacy of the show is much more important to us than any temporary squabble that would take place on the stage.”
