Tom Hardy plays God
Los Angeles – Tom Hardy is “playing God” in .
The actor has been cast as villain Bane in the forthcoming Batman movie and admitted that while he was overwhelmed working with Gary Oldman on , things were easier on the set of the superhero movie because he had to have an altercation with his co-star, who plays Commissioner Gordon.
He said: “I spent my entire experience with Gary [on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy] staring at him and not returning any lines because I think he’s God.
“The second time [on The Dark Knight Rises] I was playing God, so I ignored him.
“Kicked him a bit, that kind of thing. Gary Oldman is one of my heroes, I did nothing but glean from him.”
In The Dark Knight Rises, Tom wears a mouth-muzzling mask and he admitted he found the experience difficult because he finds it hard to stay quiet.
He explained during a Cannes Festival press conference for Lawless, in which he plays a strong, silent bootlegger: “These characters are difficult to play because I have a very busy head.
“I have inside voices that I have learned to contain.”
