“How could you do something so fun and be so miserable.” Tom Hardy hated making this movie and has no intention of starring in a similar one

by

As a devoted admirer of Tom Hardy’s versatile acting skills, I must share that he has ventured into numerous projects across different genres. However, there comes a time when an actor realizes that certain categories no longer resonate with them, and for Tom, it seems this particular genre is not his cup of tea anymore; he expresses no intention of revisiting such productions in the future.

In his own words, he admitted that about romantic comedies. Despite being a dedicated actor who values his craft, Hardy opted to join the lighthearted film “This Means War,” sharing screen time with Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon. Following his role in the McG-directed movie, he expressed discomfort towards romantic comedies, confessing that during the filming process, he was “unhappy.” (As reported by The Independent)

1. I enjoy trying out new experiences.
2. It baffles me that someone can find joy in an activity while also feeling miserable at the same time. Is that not clear?
3. I doubt I’ll take on another romantic comedy role again, do you follow my drift? (informal)

It’s not necessary for everyone to excel in every genre. Hardy has demonstrated his strengths lie more in dramatic productions, particularly those of the gangster or sci-fi variety. In fact, he’s been focusing on these types of films and TV shows lately, steering clear of romantic comedies, which he seems to have little affinity for. This suggests that he is sticking true to his word about not likely doing another romantic comedy again.

In “This Means War,” we have a thrilling spy movie where two close-knit CIA operatives find themselves in a complex romantic situation. They both develop feelings for the same woman, leading them to employ their distinct talents in a friendly competition to win her affection.

The Tom Hardy-led romantic comedy isn’t being warmly embraced by audiences or critics, as evidenced by its low ratings on Rotten Tomatoes: only 25% of critic reviews are positive, while viewers give it a slightly better score at 56%.
