Attention, Hollywood: Don't call Tom Hardy to star in your next romantic comedy.

During an interview with USA Today, the actor admitted that he wasn't too fond of filming This Means War with Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine back in 2012.

"I love to do things I hadn't done before," he explained. "I didn't understand how you could do something which is so fun and be so miserable doing it."

He also said that he felt like an "other" on the set of the major studio flick, and blamed himself for feeling so left out.

"I probably won't do a romantic comedy again, do you know what I mean?"

Hardy also opened up about filming alongside the late James Gandolfini, in what would be The Sopranos star's final film, in The Drop.

"The man I met I loved. He was a brilliant actor. Super talented. Super sensitive, vulnerable, emotionally articulate, generous, kind."

The Drop's director, Michaël R. Roskam, also spoke on the overwhelming responsibility he felt to get the final cut of Gandolfini's last film as perfect as possible.  

"When he died, I went to the funeral in the morning and then took a cab back to the editing room," he shared.

"The first thing I did was go through all the [footage] again."

The actor's son, Michael Gandolfini, attended The Drop's premiere at the 2014 Toronto Film Festival in his father's honor.
