Tom Hardy made his first public appearance since his shock firing from “MobLand.”
The actor attended the star-studded “Masters of the Universe” after-party in London Wednesday night, as seen in photos obtained by Page Six.
Hardy, 48, arrived to the bash later in the evening, narrowly avoiding the red carpet.
For the event, the “Mad Max: Fury Road” star wore a brown patterned short-sleeve button-down with white pants and sneakers.
Hardy’s low-key outing comes one week after reports surfaced that he was axed from “MobLand” after portraying the lead role of Harry Da Souza on the hit Paramount+ series for two seasons.
Sources told Variety that his firing was due to “on-set issues” with executive producer Jez Butterworth, 101 Studios and others.
Additionally, a Puck News report claimed that Hardy was consistently late to production, gave frequent script notes, changed dialogue and was upset about the ensemble cast — which includes A-listers like Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.
The outlet also claimed Hardy’s alleged behavior caused Butterworth to nearly quit, which led to Paramount firing Hardy.
New details have since emerged about Hardy’s on-set dynamic with Mirren, whom he reportedly enraged with his behavior.
“Tom’s character is charming. He’s the calm one, but it is quite the opposite when the cameras stop. Dame Helen is a joy, she is a total pro and she has worked with so many people over the years,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“She is getting increasingly frustrated with Tom and his attitude,” the source continued. “He can be late to filming, too, and that is annoying for Dame Helen, who is extremely professional and disciplined. His tone is something Dame Helen doesn’t like, along with his lateness.”
The source alleged that Hardy “swaggers around like a king” while on set and is “very, very arrogant.”
“It has all become quite personal between them,” the insider added. “It feels like Tom is winding her up.”
Another insider told the Hollywood Reporter that Hardy’s “career suicide” was his constant tardiness on set of the hit show.
“He refused to come out of his trailer for hours at a time,” the source told the outlet, claiming that Hardy “kept the cast waiting” as a “power play.”
“Keeping Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and others waiting is career suicide, I would wager.”
A representative for Hardy did not respond to Page Six’s multiple requests for comment.
The “Venom” actor has reportedly had several on-set clashes with co-stars over the years, including Charlize Theron, Shia LeBeouf and Patrick Stewart.
