Tom Hardy with personal trainer Ricky Moore.

Me and Tom hardy after a hardcore chest and delt workout!!
I helped Tom with all aspects of his training , nutrition and supplementation for his role as Bane in the new Batman film!
What a top guy he is!!

And some words from Tom from Ricky’s website

I was in the Leeds area for a few of days and when I was looking for an advanced personal trainer in the area I was recommended to Ricky Moore by a friend. I did a couple of workouts with Ricky and found him to be very knowledgeable on both exercise and nutrition and would highly recommend him to anyone who’s serious about getting in shape, I really enjoyed my sessions with Ricky and I wish I was in the area longer and could have done a few more!!

In the build-up to my role as Bane in the new Batman movie I needed to add some serious muscle to my frame to look like the imposing monster from the comics, so in that time I was in regular contact via phone and e-mail with Ricky to ask his advice on all aspects of training, nutrition and supplementation to get the most amount of muscle on my frame in the shortest time possible!

PNuT talking about Tom’s different training method for his roles in Men’s Health South Africa.

Christian Bale & Tom Hardy #03

Even though he was forced to wear a silly Predator-esque mask and shave all the hair off of his body until he looked like an angry scrotum, Tom Hardy is a man you definitely would not want to go toe-to-toe with. His portrayal of Bane thrust him into the spotlight and interviews have revealed him to be an unorthodox leading man, who is as intense as he is eloquent. Tom Hardy is enigmatic, he’s hard as nails and he once had a beard that could’ve housed at least seven baby birds. In short, he has all the qualities necessary to make him our Manly Man of the year.

- from craveonline. Eloquent and engimatic is a perfect way to describe Tom!

Christian Bale & Tom Hardy #02

Watching TDKR for the second time made me think about a few things (I may have thought of a couple the first time too… You will never be able to guess what).

- It’s amazing how Blake keeps turning up EVERYWHERE. He’s always there. Is that his superpower?

- Why on EARTH do they think it’s a good idea to trust Miranda Tate with that super-secret nuclear device? They don’t know her at all and all of sudden she’s the one who can be trusted with the most dangerous (and ever so secret) device there is. It makes very little sense.

- You can hear EVERYTHING Bane says.

- His voice is bizarrely awesome.

- He goes out with a whimp - and not the bang he deserves. I agree that I’m not at all convinced he’s really dead. 

- Why oh why could we not have gotten those deleted scenes with Bane in the prison? 

- Tom Hardy is bloody brilliant.

“Chris and him [Tom] talked about the fact that he didn’t really want Bane to be, you know, a Mr Universe, to have this beautiful body. He wanted him to look like a big, tough—almost like a circus strongman.

And that’s what his body looks like. You don’t want to get near that body.”  - Charles Roven, producer / dvd extras


um…

Indeed.

I love this photo. Christian & Tom are giggling like crazy and Nolan is completely oblivious and serious. :D
