Exploring Tom Hardy

Christian Bale praising Tom Hardy in the new issue of Empire (can’t ever be enough Tom Hardy-praising on this blog!):

“Tom is phenomenal. He’s an extraordinary actor. I I were a director I would want Tom to be in my movies. He knows his shit. But it’s a funny distance that you have in these movies, literally, by being cocooned by a cowl. I don’t truly feel like I’ve worked with Gary Oldman, even though we’ve done three movies together. I don’t really feel like I’ve worked with Gary because I’m here in this darkness ever time. And likewise with Tom, we’re both behind these masks. He’s feeling that isolation as well. It’s a strange feeling. So we agreed after this we’d like to work with each other on something one day!”
