Even with his open-minded acting sensibilities and his rising star status, it appears that there are some things that Tom Hardy is not going to try—at least again. And that is the romantic comedy genre, thanks to the awful McG comedy This Means War.
Talking about his latest movie The Drop, USA Today got to talking about his experience with the 2012 comedy, starring Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon. Considered a box office flop, Hardy said he mostly considered it something to cross off his working bucket list.
"I love to do things I hadn't done before," Hardy said. "I didn't understand how you could do something which is so much fun and be so miserable doing it. I probably won't do a romantic comedy again, do you know what I mean?"
Though, cheekily, the actor seemed opened to making another rom-com if it had the right director, after The Drop director Michael B. Roskam joked, "So you won't do mine?"
"With you, it would be different," were his last reported words on the matter.
Released before The Dark Knight Rises came out, Hardy seems to have done fairly well since then, having starred in critically acclaimed Locke earlier this year and the aforementioned The Drop. He still has Child 44 set to be released this year, and also has London Road and Mad Max: Fury Road coming out the next. He currently is filming Legend for 42 director Brian Helgeland, and also is set to star in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's The Reverent with Leonardo DiCaprio.
