Hollywood yawned, stretched and then hit the luxurious pavements of the French Riviera on Thursday,ย one stepย closer to aligning withย a new time zone as day two of the Cannes Film Festival got underway. Never underestimate the power of a good night’s rest — it can humble the likes of Tom Hardy.

Turning up for a photo call and press conference for “Mad Max: Fury Road,” Hardy apologized for his long-rumored frustration on the set of the desert epic.

“For seven months, I think the most complicated or most frustrating thing was trying to know what George wanted me to do at any given minute so I could fully transmute his vision,” Hardy told reporters.
