Probably only cool to me, but a while back I got to sit in the car that Hardy used on this flick.

Oh yay he’s got another weird voice.

Of all the people I expected to see reading children’s bedtime stories, Tom Hardy wasn’t really one of them, but I found out a while ago this is a semi regular thing on the BBC, especially recently while he’s stuck in his house.

All I can think from this shot is “say hello to my little friend!”.

More Miller's Crossing.

Looks great and god do I love it when Tom Hardy does these really out of the box performances even with the weird voices and all. Even in something as mediocre as Venom he was able to shine IMO, but after seeing in him stuff like Legend, Peaky Blinders, Legend and Bronson the man can pretty much play anyone because he's that much of a chameleon.

Didn't he and his wife recently have a newborn?

Yea. He has three sons now.

I feel like Hardy needs to do one of these really wacky performances every so often to get it out of his system.

Yeah, this seems like a Bronson type of rethread where Hardy needs to let loose his Id.

 

[DarkKnight88]

A wacky performance since his last wacky performance. And I mean that as a compliment.

I like the tone they for with Venom, and his performance in it. It's entertaining genre film. Very fun!

 

[Schlosser85]

Venom he was just farting around though. This looks like more like Bronson where Hardy legit lets himself work out some inner madness.

 

[-JKR-]

Farting around or not, he still delivered a highly entertaining performance.

I do agree about him "stretching his Bronson" here.

 

[StarLord]

 

[Schlosser85]

He's got that Ron Kray thing going on again.

Is he playing Al Capone or Killer Croc?

I think the makeup is a little over the top, and also they could have made Tom Hardy look more like Al Capone than he does in the movie.

I actually like the makeup that they went with. Old Capone looks like a cavedweller trapped in his own darkness.

Sometimes movies don't try to be 100% literal and realistic and are going for something else...
