“I’m really sorry if anyone misunderstood what I said”: Tom Hardy Had To Apologize For Comparing Christian Bale’s Dark Knight Trilogy To Working At An Airport


Whether it is the role of a criminal man, a self-righteous anti-hero, or a savior of justice and goodwill and anything in between, there is no role that British actor Tom Hardy hasn’t performed, and to perfection no less. Known for his dynamic personality both on and off screen, the audience knows that they will be left satisfied when the star is involved in any major or minor film projects from the industry.
And while the actor tries to cater to his fans, he’s also known to be one of those headstrong individuals who don’t usually fit in the regular working mold of the industry. While many stars have nothing but nice things to say about projects they are working on, Hardy wasn’t afraid to be a little harsh about his time working on The Dark Knight Trilogy.

Tom Hardy Compared Working On The Dark Knight Trilogy To Working At Starbucks!
While he may have been part of many superhit films and TV shows, the one iconic role that many people still praise Tom Hardy for is his depiction of Bane in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises. The film was loved by the fans of the comic book vigilante and cinema critics so much that they hailed the film as one of the best ever made, along with stacking a whopping $1.08 Billion worldwide. Still, Hardy couldn’t help but put his experience in a way that upset many people.

He once said that the way these big franchises work is by pandering to the larger audience and making them happy to rake in huge sums of money, something that he felt was comparable to large corporations such as his example of Starbucks. This upset many fans and audience members because they felt like the Peaky Blinders star was belittling his role by comparing it to something less valuable than giving a masterpiece to the world of cinema. He later clarified to Variety, saying:

“I’m really sorry if anyone misunderstood what I said about comparing working for a huge franchise to being like working for Starbucks. I didn’t mean it like that. I mean, it could have been British Airways, it could have been Virgin, it could have been Nike, it could have been any huge company,”
While his intention might’ve been in the right place to make a harmless comparison, he knew that he should’ve put more thought into it before stating it.

What’s So Special About The Dark Knight Trilogy?
While there have been films on the masked vigilante of Gotham City before, The Dark Knight Trilogy brought something that the previous iterations lacked, which was character development. In the past, the films had a prerequisite for their audience to know what type of character Batman was before they entered the cinemas. But what Nolan was able to achieve with the help of Christian Bale from his depiction was to create a Bruce Wayne that was shown to be built from the ground up, and developed as the franchise reached its end.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
