'She jumps out of the War Rig, and she starts swearing her head off at him” (via toofab)
Goellnicht isn't sure how much of what Theron was saying Hardy actually heard over all the noise of the set and over the wind, but remembers"he charged up to her and went, ‘What did you say to me?' He was quite aggressive. She really felt threatened, and that was the turning point."
From that point, Theron said she put her foot down, demanding that a female producer be on set to"maybe equalize some of it." She added,"A lot of what I felt was coming my way from Doug [Mitchell, a producer] was … oh, it. I’ll just say it. It was a man forgiving another man for really bad behavior, and I didn’t feel safe."
For his part, Hardy pushed back against the notion that Theron could feel intimidated or bullied by him."Charlize is an intense woman. Very intense, actually. In a good way," he said."I mean, look at her in-- that’s not somebody walking in the park. You don’t just summon up that kind of authenticity without bringing a tremendous wealth of artistic ability."
"She’s a very serious actor," he continued."So, I don’t see why she would ever be intimidated by me or in any way feel frightened. I think that was more bollocks." Ultimately, veteran producer Denise Di Novi came down and effectively shadowed Theron and even helped mediate some conflicts between her and Hardy. Theron was grateful for director George Miller's willingness to afford her this concession."That kind of made me breathe a little bit, because it felt like I would have another woman understanding what I was up against," she noted.
