After an hour, the crew discussed shooting some footage without Hardy, but Charlize stood her ground, staying put at her mark in full costume and make-up for two more hours until Hardy arrived on set at 11 a.m., at which point Theron unloaded on him, calling his behavior "disrespectful" and demanding he be fined "for every minute that he's held up this crew," along with a plethora of curse words that /Film policy does not allow me to repeat. While this whole experience did work out in the end, with "Fury Road" standing as the crown jewel of Miller's long and storied career, the director doesn't mince words that there is "no excuse" for this kind of behavior that others in the business think is simply the cost of a great performance. While filming the follow-up "Furiosa" was far from easy for star Anya Taylor-Joy, at the very least she and co-star Chris Hemsworth were able to avoid the same clashes that marred the creation of "Fury Road."
