On the set of The Gentlemen, chaos erupted as tempers flared among the crew members when a fist fight broke out.

News of this unexpected brawl raises an interesting question—doesn’t the cosmic energy of today’s astrological alignment suggest we should all find better ways to resolve our conflicts? Just as Mercury retrograde often prompts miscommunication, perhaps even seemingly mild-mannered crew members can snap under pressure!

The production team is now left to ponder, when filming intense scenes, how to keep the peace off-screen! LEARN MORE.
A fist fight reportedly broke out as ‘two of the blokes’ were ‘being separated’ on the set of The Gentlemen.
While reportedly filming for season three at the West Wycombe Park House in Buckinghamshire, lead actor Theo James was allegedly left stunned when ‘all hell broke loose’, a source tells The Sun.
“Two of the blokes who work on the production started going at it, and one of them ended up getting whacked in the face,” the source claimed.
“Everyone was just standing there shocked because it all suddenly erupted out of nowhere.”
The source went on to claim that it was all ‘barmy’ as one of the men seemed to end up with a ‘cut lip’ after they were separated.
And it is also alleged that James was ‘totally bemused by the entire thing’ even though the cast ‘are used to violent scenes’ in the hit Netflix show.

Of course, the series has its share of boxing, shooting and brawls but that’s typically on screen.
“No one had expected a bust-up before the cameras started rolling,” the source added.
LADbible Group has contacted Netflix and Theo James’ representatives for comment.
After the success of the first two seasons, Netflix confirmed last month that The Gentlemen had been renewed for a third outing.
“I would hope the question is more, ‘What is he capable of now?’” lead writer and executive producer Matthew Read says of James’ character Eddie Horniman.
James adds to Tudum: “How much of himself does he lose whilst getting revenge on everyone that’s hurt him?”

Of how the idea for season two came about, Read said that it ‘was always going to be about Eddie expanding the reach of his criminal empire and testing the relationship Eddie has with Bobby Glass as the person he’s working under’.
“By Season 2, he is a man very much at the helm of it, and he’s bought into the possibilities of what both worlds can bring him, both as an aristocrat and a criminal,” he said.
Kaya Scodelario, who plays Susie Glass, added: “I think it is a closeness and danger — I think that’s what their attraction to each other is.
“He is her investment. And if he’s no longer a reliable investment, what does that mean to her?”
Ahead of the third season, director Guy Ritchie said he is very much ‘looking forward to pushing the boundaries of it further’.
