It’s that time of the summer again when you’ve zoomed through everything in your grilling repertoire—twice.

When Tom Hardy started preparing for Venom, he decided to push himself to the limit—just as he did for roles in movies like The Dark Knight Rises and Warrior. And that meant working out four days a week wasn’t going to cut it. So Hardy stepped up his training with MMA fighter Nathan Jones and trainer Mark Mene to five days per week. This was no elliptical machine workout, either—we’re talking a bruising regimen of boxing, mixed martial arts, jiu-jitsu, and kickboxing....

In the winter of 2012, it wasn’t strange to wake up and think about killing myself. After a cocaine and whiskey bender, when spears of afternoon light would break into the dingy bedroom I rented in Telluride, Colorado, the voice in my head would remind me that no one loved me and that I was worthless. And so I’d go about my day with a clenched-fist attitude and a soul that was home to a protected vacancy....

Only a few days after Deontay Wilder’s commanding WBC title defense with a ruthless first-round KO of Bermane Stiverne, Wilder has issued his next challenge. This time, though, it’s to a far more formidable opponent: Anthony Joshua.

First comes the salivating, induced by a single sniff of roasting meat. Then comes that juicy first bite, the joy spreading as the fatty goodness ignites your tastebuds. It’s all you can do to swallow before you shovel more more beefy bliss into your gullet. Ounces of top-cut sirloin or whole hog later, you’re in carnivore heaven—for about 60 seconds.
