Tom Hardy Driving Charlize Theron Crazy With 'Weirdo' Behaviour On Set Of Mad Max: Fury Road

Image
WENN Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron are not meshing as well as movie directors would have hoped on set of their new movie 'Mad Max: Fury Road', according to a new report. Sources have reportedly claimed that Charlize thinks that the Britsish actor is plain "weird" and is struggling to find a bond with the star because of his unusual behaviour. "Charlize and Tom are just not getting on together," a source revealed to Radaronline.com . Adding: "Professionally, they are doing a wonderful job, but in-between takes Tom likes to stay in character and is constantly talking to himself and mumbling things." It seems Tom's refusal to step out of character is driving the blonde beauty up the wall as she can't understand why the 'Dark Knight' star can't switch his character off once the cameras stop rolling. "Charlize has tried to talk to him during breaks in filming but he shuts himself off from the rest of the cast." "...He

Police Investigate Murder at Charlize Theron's Childhood Home

Police are investigating a brutal murder at the same house in South Africa where Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron lived as a child when her mother shot and killed her father. The current resident of the property in the town of Benoni, about 18 miles from Johannesburg, was killed Friday by a gang of robbers, the South African Press Association reports. A police spokeswoman said Barry Newman was forced into a bathroom where he was tied up and suffocated after the robbers put a plastic bag over his head. Police believe he may have been burned with cigarettes and a clothes iron. The five robbers gained access to the property by pretending to be interested in buying a used car for sale by Newman's girlfriend. The robbers also tied up the gardener and a domestic worker and forced them into another room. No arrests have been made in the case. The Benoni house was also a crime scene in June 1991 when Theron's mother, Gerda Maritz, killed her husband in self-defense. The Hollywood

Charlize Theron talks to Metro about her starring roles (Picture: Broadimage/Rex) How did you bring the evil Queen to life in this new version of Snow White? I have no interest in playing one-dimensional film characters so I never went into it going: Ooh I get to play evil. But theres something nice about the freedom of excusing behaviour you would never do yourself. The way I yelled at people in this movie I would never do that in real life. Did you have an inspiration for the role? I was flicking through the TV channels one day watching The Shining and Jack Nicholsons performance really inspired me in terms of being stuck in a castle. Jack is stuck in that house and slowly unravels, getting madder and madder, and that definitely connected with me. What intrigued you about the theme which is all to do with beauty? We live in a society where women are treated like cut flowers that wilt, whereas men are like fine wines as they age, they get better. It has been instilled in my characte
