Actor Tom Hardy has penned an open letter to a journalist who criticised him for cancelling an interview, insisting he was unaware of the meeting.
Hitfix's Drew MCWeeny took to Twitter last week to blast "The Dark Knight Rises" star for reportedly acting like "a spoiled baby" and only granting a small number of press interviews for his new movie "The Revenant".
Hardy, who is known for his cheeky nature, then challenges MCWeeny to criticise him in person in future.
"Plot thickens... Who knows what to trust my friend, but I do know the cancellation was definitely not made by myself. Resisting the urge to dare you to say what you 'rant tweeted' so publicly, to my face next time we meet, which I doubt you have the balls to do; I want to apologise regardless on behalf of those that misled the both of us. That isn't cool. At all. Neither were your tweets. But that's by the by."
"I appreciate your apology of sorts in your emails to and fro which I am happy to openly post. Also as I hope you understand now and which you've made very clear in our emails back and forth, your legitimate frustration lies with those who organised the junket; who fed you and I misinformation; not me. Again apologies for the clusterfk (sic).
"And it's (sic) knock on effect to your personal life. I appreciate it is a busy time of year for you and your time shouldn't have been wasted. I never had any intention of causing you any inconveniences at all. Best regards...
