10 Actors Who Apologised For Their Behaviour In Major Movies

To be completely fair to Tom Hardy, the filming of Mad Max: Fury Road cannot have been an easy gig. Shooting in the desert for months on end in the scorching heat and with tons of intensive stunt work - it was a tough period for everybody, and it's no surprise that tensions started to flare up.

Hardy grew particularly frustrated with director George Miller, because he couldn't really understand the filmmaker's vision. Fury Road is such an action-heavy movie that the actor struggled to see the complete picture, and as such, he perhaps wasn't as cheery on set as he could have been.

Hardy later apologised for his lack of faith at a press conference in Cannes, admitting that what Miller eventually created was "brilliant":

“Because he’s orchestrating such a huge vehicle, literally, in so many departments, because all the vehicles are moving and the whole movie is just motion, I have to apologise to you [looking at Miller] because I got frustrated. There was no way that George could have explained what he could see in the sand when we were out there… I knew he was brilliant, but I didn’t quite know how brilliant.”

And as an extra bonus to make that difficult shoot more worthwhile, the film garnered critical acclaim and several Oscar nominations.
