Tom Hardy offers to pay over $300,000 in crew wages for new series after company goes out of business

A group of contractors were initially not paid after they hired by a construction company to work on the actor’s new Paramount+ series.

Heroes don’t always wear capes — sometimes they’re covered in venom … at least if you’re Tom Hardy.

The actor, 47, reportedly offered to pay £250,000 — or approximately $315,000 — in lost wages to set workers who had been constructing sets for his new Paramount+ series, the Guy Ritchie-directed Fixer, when the construction company that employed them went out of business, according to The London Times.

While the workers, who were employed as contractors by the construction company Helix 3D, completed the sets this past summer,

a leaked WhatsApp message from the week of Dec. 9 revealed that Helix 3D had no funds to pay the contractors — despite having been paid by Paramount.

The ordeal reportedly prompted Hardy to step up and provide funds to pay the workers so that they could receive the wages owed to them in time for the holidays.

“He offered to [pay],” a source close to the actor told the Times. “But the production and Paramount have sorted the payment.”
