Tom Hardy stepped in to help the crew of Guy Ritchie’s new TV series The Associate after a construction company went into liquidation.
The Venom star, 47, recently filmed scenes for the series in London when about 50 freelance building workers were left unpaid.
According to The Times, the company contracted to build the sets went bust, leaving £250,000 in wages outstanding just before Christmas.
The company’s chief executive reportedly informed workers last week that their pay would likely be delayed until after the New Year, causing widespread distress.
It wasn’t until Hardy stepped in and offered to cover the workers’ wages that Paramount intervened to resolve the issue and ensure payments were arranged.
A source told the news outlet: “He offered to [pay], but the production and Paramount have sorted the payment.”

So they could do it, but it took Tom making them look like assholes for them to make it happen?
“Millionaire shames billionaires by paying wages owed to people who work for a living to make them all rich.”
Fair play to Tom Hardy, but it’s sad that just doing the most basic level of the right thing is so celebrated.
Gotta think of those shareholders…
They claim the plans were"already underway."
good on commander hardy. sometimes you gotta shame the company to get them to do the right thing.
What an ASSHOLE! These POOR EXECUTIVES now might not be able to Afford an EXTENDED Christmas Vacation to a Private Island!
A vacation? I didn’t think you truly grasp how rich the ultra-wealthy 1% are, and it’s only getting worse…
is he pitbull from the future
