Despite Mad Max: Fury Road coming off as an absolute masterpiece and one of the best movies of 2015 hands down, the principle actors are now admitting that they absolutely hated having to work together on the action epic. According to the latest gossip news updates, Charlize Theron has no problem admitting that she and Tom Hardy absolutely had it out on the set, but in the end, she feels, they wrapped the picture with mutual love and respect for one another. In a related story, it was also revealed this week that Theron's A-list boyfriend, Sean Penn, once took high-priced acting classes from none other than Marlon Brando just a few short years before the Hollywood icons death.
It may not have matched Furious 7's record breaking numbers but people will still be talking about the Mad Max reboot long after Universal has moved on to Fast and Furious 17, but production on the film wasn't without it's complications reports Charlize Theorn.
In an interview with Esquire magazine, Theron explained that the desert shoot was so grueling that, combined with the daily pressure to perform, it started to take a serious toll on the actors mental wellbeing (via Flickering Myth):
"It was the isolation, and the fact that we were stuck in a rig for the entire shoot. We shot a war movie on a moving truck-there's very little green screen. It was like a family road trip that just never went anywhere.
"We never got anywhere. We just drove. We drove into nothingness, and that was maddening sometimes."
According to Theron it was all the madness that fed into her constant fighting with co-star Tom Hardy, who she claims fought with the director, George Miller, every bit as much as he did with her, but that doesn't mean that they didn't all respect each other very much by the time they were finally allowed to return to bucolic Hollywood, California:
"We f*ckin' went at it, yeah...And on other days, he and George [Miller] went at it.
"We drove each other crazy, but I think we have respect for each other, and that's the difference.
"This is the kind of stuff that nobody wants to understand -- there's a real beauty to that kind of relationship."
An interesting bit of information was also recently surfaced regarding Charlie's beau, Sean Penn, as well.
The dedicated journalists at the Daily Mail report that Sean Penn attended a semi-secret acting class taught by none other than Marlon Brando, just a couple of years before the legendary thespian died:
"Two years before his death, the Last Tango in Paris actor embarked on a 10-day acting course attended by the likes of Sean Penn, Nick Nolte and Robin Williams.
"He set up the course for stars and budding drama students in 2002 to help with the upkeep of his $10 million home on Mulholland Drive, former secretary Alice Marchak claims."
So perhaps, Charlize should just be grateful that Tom Hardy wasn't trying to hide is lines on her forehead the way that Brando's costars used to have to put up with him doing.
