Helen Mirren Says She’d Work With Tom Hardy ‘In a F***ing Heartbeat’ Amid ‘MobLand’ Drama
- Oscar-Winning actress Helen Mirren is attending the Taormina Film Festival on Friday to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award, where she addressed controversies regarding her Israel connections and her role in MobLand.
- Growing up in post-Second World War Europe, Mirren developed a deep connection to Israel, first visiting in 1967; last year a Palestinian activist called her an "evil Zionist" in London, now investigated as a hate crime.
- Mirren recalled visiting Israel six months after the Six Day War and later questioned recent actions against Palestinians, calling them "crimes against humanity" and asking how the country could "repeat the actions of what was done to you."
- Addressing rumors regarding Tom Hardy's return to MobLand for season 3, Mirren praised his acting and said she would work with him again in "a heartbeat," describing him as having the "kindest heart."
- Despite the challenging creative process, Mirren expressed hope for the show's future with writer Jez Butterworth involved, emphasizing that as long as screen performance is "fantastic," she is "totally chilled" with the production process.
