“He refused to come out of his trailer for hours at a time,” the source says about Hardy’s on-set behavior on season two, which has spooked producers into rethinking Hardy’s future. The source adds: “He kept the cast waiting, [which is] a power play. Keeping Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and others waiting is career suicide, I would wager.”

Without some kind of justification like concerns about safety that is a poor look.

“Tom wouldn’t engage with any of us on a social level,” Stewart wrote. “Never said, ‘Good morning,’ never said, ‘Goodnight,’ and spent the hours he wasn’t needed on set in his trailer with his girlfriend.”

I don't see this as a negative. Not everyone is an extrovert or needs to play one.

If you are that much of an introvert, then maybe acting isn’t the job for you. With acting, you have to interact with your coworkers. You have to get to know each other’s characters and approaches outside of just being in front of the camera. You need to be comfortable improvising and riffing off of each others actions/reactions.

No one’s saying you have to go for a drink after hours, but not replying “hello” is just unnecessarily rude. Also your agent is going to be pissed at you because their paycheck relies on your success and pissing everyone off by not being cordial is going to jeopardize your career. Success at some jobs requires you to mingle, whether you enjoy it or not.

I think even a random office environment may frown upon that sort of behavior. I'm less than social but I do put on my retail front when in an environment with coworkers. Thankfully I work from home now so just need my customer service voice when using the phone heh, wish they'd figure out that email works just as well, 99.9% of the time, sometimes better.

’ and spent the hours he wasn’t needed on set in his trailer with his girlfriend.”

Wonder if his wife is pissed about this?

That's a quote from Patrick Stewart about working with Hardy on Star Trek Nemesis; I don't know how long Hardy has been married, but that movie is old enough that it could very well predate their relationship or have been her pre-marriage.

Ah that makes more sense.
