Tom Hardy allegedly spat at Armie Hammer during his audition for Mad Max: Fury Road before going on to win the role.
“Hardy and Hammer even read together as part of their audition, and when Hardy gnashed his teeth and spat at his scene partner, Hammer told Miller that Hardy needed to be Max more than he did.”
“Near the end of the process, Hardy emerged as a front-runner alongside Jeremy Renner and Armie Hammer,” Buchanan writes.
Miller also said that he had been interested in casting Eminem in the lead role long before Hardy entered the audition process.
