Tom Hardy is known for being a chameleon in the industry. His total commitment to method acting and physical transformations for films like The Dark Knight Rises and The Revenant are proof. Hardy’s undergoing a drastic change once again for the upcoming film Fonzo, directed by Josh Trank.

Tom Hardy’s Most Extreme and Impressive Body Transformations

Hardy portrays an older Al Capone, following his life after being released from a decade in prison and dealing with the early stages of dementia. Capone only lived to be 48 years old. And while Hardy is close in age, at 42, he underwent some extensive makeup to portray the notorious gangster. He also put on a considerable amount of weight—something he’s no stranger to when prepping for a film. He added over 30 pounds of muscle to play Batman villain Bane in The Dark Knight Rises and also bulked up for films like Venom, Bronson, and Warrior. The transformation this time around wasn’t so much about muscle, but about age and weight to portray an older Capone. Moreover, Hardy said in an interview with The Playlist that his inspiration behind the voice he used for Capone was based on Bugs Bunny.
