Pierce Brosnan has brushed off rumours that he and his MobLand co-star Tom Hardy were involved in a feud.
The James Bond star, 73, insisted that the reported drama was nothing more than a ‘storm in a teacup’ at the London premiere of Guy Ritchie’s crime series, which also stars Dame Helen Mirren.
The second series made headlines during filming after reports of tension behind the scenes, with Hardy at the centre of the speculation.
Hardy was reportedly accused of keeping his co-stars waiting on set and clashing with showrunner Jez Butterworth and David Glasser over script disagreements.
Following this however, reports emerged that he had not been axed, while Mirren posted a supportive picture of him to quell any rumours.
