Calling it a “privilege” while talking to PA, the ‘Venom’ actor added, “In many aspects, of course, I look up to them. Coming up, these are actors that came before me. So to be able to work with them is a privilege, but also to be able to enjoy them, watching them spread their wings with their range now as well, and play against their type in some aspects, and really enjoy that is a beautiful thing to watch as a human being.”Helen Mirren also joined the chat and talked about the show, saying, “The relationships are amazing. Obviously, Pierce and I have an extraordinary chemistry on-screen and off-screen. We’re very, very fond of each other. We respect each other enormously.”For context, reports shared online indicated that Tom Hardy had issues with the showrunner of ‘Mobland’, Jez Butterworth.
