Since Mr. Hardy commanded so much of the film with his mumble-core performance, we asked if Lawless was shot before or after The Dark Knight Rises.
“Before. The shoot was about nine and a half weeks,” Mr. LaBeouf replied in a surprisingly deep voice. “Tom was in the middle of bulking up…”
“He hadn’t gained that last twenty pounds of fat yet,” Mr. DeHaan joked.
“Ha! Right, exactly. You know what I loved about his character in The Dark Knight?” Mr. LaBeouf asked. “I loved that he was too big to be sexy,” he said, increasing the speed of his bouncing. “You know, like he literally had too many muscles to be attractive, so he was just scary. That’s how it should be done!”
- Shia LaBeouf, what are you talking about? Tom Hardy not sexy? I do not understand the concept. (Meaning of course that he thinks Tom is incredibly sexy and attractive otherwise.) *g*
