Using a descending 'ladder' format, Hardy would hit a four-round circuit, going from 10 reps in the first round, to seven, to five, then to three. Hardy used a bulk-up "matrix" (check the moves out below) to build muscle on to his chest, arms and shoulders. "Compared to Christian Bale I’ve been by no means extreme in my body changes," Hardy told The Daily Beast in a separate interview.
To meet the demands of the role, Hardy - chameleonic as ever - gained two stone (13kg/30lbs) in weight, bringing him to a hefty 90 kilos. "I have really skinny legs and my friend Jacob Tomuri - my stunt man - liked to say 'Why did Tom come in riding an emu?" The point was to look as big as possible," he continued. "That's the magic of lighting and three or four months of lifting and training and eating lots of pizza. In an interview with Digital Spy, Hardy said, To work with him and for him to look me in the eyes and talk to me and acknowledge me as I exist, I was starstruck. Hardy as Bane in 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises Tom Hardy kept pushing his career to stardom which of course, he attributes to his hero, deriving grand inspiration from one of the greatest in the generation.

"People would lift up the lids on their motorbike and say 'I always thought you were bigger, mate'.I was just bald, slightly porky and with pencil arms." Tom Hardy is known for many things: His lead roles in Inception and Mad Max: Fury Road his embrace Saturday, during a Toronto International Film Festival press conference for the upcoming movie Legend, a reporter named Graeme Coleman from the LGBT site Daily Xtra dared to ask Hardy about his sexuality. They shoot from low to make you look big," answered Hardy.
I ate a lot and I wasn't much heavier than I am now, but I just ate more pizza.
"If you really study the photographs, I was really overweight, actually. In the latest episode of BBC Radio 1's 'Kids Ask' web series, a budding 10-year-old journalist asked Hardy about the prep required for the film - more specifically, how Hardy got "so muscly" in order to play Bane. The actor, who had previously rocked other demanding body changes for roles in Warrior and Bronson, had beefed up significantly to play Batman's arch-nemesis in the third instalment of Christopher Nolan's trilogy.Īlmost 10 years later, Hardy's portrayal of Bane is still being talked about and, in a recent interview with BBC Radio 1, the actor shared the physical and mental toll the role had taken. In 2012, Tom Hardy's metamorphosis into Gotham juggernaut Bane was the stuff of legend. “And I have to run up massive hills, hating you."I was just bald, slightly porky and with pencil arms," said the actor in a recent interview. Tomuri, ever the masochist, was equally cheerful in his response. How do I look like I’ve done squats? I’ll wear three pairs of tracksuit trousers under my leather suit.”Įver the optimist (or is it sadist?), Hardy could see the upside in the situation: “The good thing about it is I know that Jakey has to make his legs as atrophied as mine if he works with me and I want to wear shorts, which,” he said with a grin, “I’m thinking of doing.” “I remember on The Revenant, what was it? Double leather pants?” he said, of Hardy’s turn as a desperate fur trapper alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Alejandro Iñarritu’s 2015 film, for which Hardy received a best supporting actor Oscar nomination ( losing a tattoo-based bet to DiCaprio in the process which he has now made good on). But as these exclusive extra comments reveal, Tomuri wasn’t done. I skipped leg day for about 43 years,” Hardy told Esquire, in an interview that took place in late June in Cardiff, where he and Tomuri are currently filming martial arts movie Havoc for Netflix. “Jacob fondly points out my legs are really skinny. Tomuri, for his part, likes to point out that what he himself might lack in trapezius muscles, Hardy lacks in hams. Other revelations were perhaps more surprising: at one point in the interview Hardy and Esquire were joined by his long-time stuntman Jacob Tomuri, at which point Hardy revealed – to Tomuri’s chagrin – that Tomuri had to wear a specially constructed onesie under his suit when doubling as him on 2015 Kray twins movie Legend in order to replicate Hardy’s shoulder line.

Tom Hardy, as you’ll know if you’ve seen Esquire’s current cover, is a man who scrubs up pretty well, so it’s no surprise that some style matters cropped up in the accompanying interview. He also opened up about a wardrobe hack he used while shooting The Revenant
