Watch A rather ridiculous French interview (in English!) where they desperately try to get info on The Dark Knight Rises and fail. And then arm wrestle Tom… He’s a very good sport about it all too - until the end when he bites back.

Hilarious Gary Oldman interview →
Listen to Gary Oldman talk about TTSS and do a very funny announcement for this radio show. It’s Gary Oldman does The King’s Speech. Hilarious!
Amazing what that man can do with his voice. What a great actor he is. His Majesty Gary Oldman, indeed.

Interview in Le Figaro
Another French interview with Tom (in all the big French papers!) - as before, my translation (feel free to point out any errors):
We’ve barely entered the room before he grabs you by the shoulders and pulls you to him by way of greeting. That’s what you call a hug. Tom Hardy has a very unique way of introducing himself! 33 years-old, the British actor sports a shaved head and...

Tom's comments on his coming films
From a lovely, hilarious radio interview with Tom:
About TTSS:
“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is coming out, with Gary Oldman. Good sir Gary! He’s brilliant. And everybody else, John Hurt through to Mark Strong, Colin Firth. It’s a plethora of British talent. I got under the door as well. Luckily, they let me in too.”
About The Wettest County:
“Then...

Tom's future plans
I find these bits from the interview in Shortlist very interesting. He’s got such a healthy approach to his occupation and to fame. I’ll be sad if he really does ‘disappear’ for a while, but it’s definitely a choice to respect. It’s something we all would need, from time to time.
About privacy and fame:
“There’s a definite detachment between a public persona...

Tom talking about his addiction
He can be serious too - really. From the same interview as the previous silliness: some interesting comments from Tom on addiction which I think deserves its own post:
You have a really touching scene with Nick Nolte, who plays your father. Was that harder to play than the physical stuff?
TH: No, because that’s where I come from, that kind of background, you know what I mean, it’s like drinking...

A man and his horse
Tom is such a completely hilarious guy! Joel keeps having to play it straight beside all this silliness.
Did either of you get injured on the film?
JE: Yeah, my shining moment during the shooting was getting my MCL ligament torn on a grade 3 tear, getting thrown over by Jace Jeanes, one of the stunt guys. I tore my ligament and had to go to six weeks of rehab for that. Apart from that the odd...

Interview in Les Inrockuptibles
My translation (errors all mine!) of an interview in French magazine Les Inrockuptibles. I love this one. Isabelle Huppert is indeed amazing. :)
It’s in a jogging-t-shirt, shaved head and arms covered in tattoos (of which one says ‘il figlio mio é bellissimo’ - ‘my son is very beautiful’) which Tom Hardy greets us in his hotel room in Paris. The embrace is...

Tom and his giggle...
Excerpt from an interview in Huffington Post:
[…]When Hardy appears, he is, put frankly, enormous, but with nothing to spare and sort of balletic in his movements like a boxer. A thin hoodie and tracksuit bottoms complete the look of an athlete at rest.
His incongruous, high-pitched giggle belies all this ridiculous amount of effort in an instant: “You just do what you have to do for a...

Interview with 20minutes.fr
Another French interview with Tom translated by me (all errors, again, are mine. It’s not easy trying to guess what his original words may have been…)
Does it bother you to change your appearance all the time?
I love the idea of changing the way I look. My partner used to find it confusing, until she started to appreciate feeling like she has different partners while being with me.

Lovely, hilarious interview with Tom & Joel →
An interview from Empire - talking about Warrior and broccoli…
Apparently, Joel had to learn to eat on set. Haha! Tom, you are so gloriously silly.

WatchMore Tom talking about TTSS!
This one’s hilarious - talking about his ‘fierce’ wig and how being in this film was like being ‘part of a huge slab of Italian marble in a beautiful kitchen’.

Interview with Excessif
A French interview with Tom about Warrior (my translation - errors all mine):
What made you want to do Warrior? To be honest, I’d wanted to do an American film, and I wanted to the test the audience, kind of like a bull fighter entering the arena. This role demanded a true physical transformation and you must think I was used to that, after Bronson. Also, I saw an opportunity to act like...
