Tom Hardy lists out injuries he's accumulated from action films, martial arts: ‘Knee surgeries, herniated disc'
Tom is well-known for playing Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, Max Rockatansky in the Mad Max films, and Eddie Brock in the Venom films. The publication notes that, like most middle-aged people, their meet-up consists of non-alcoholic beer and a list of bodily ailments.
The actor told them, 'I've had two knee surgeries now, my disc's herniated in my back, I've got sciatica as well,' he says. 'And I have that… is it plantar fasciitis? Where did that come from? And why? Why?! And I pulled my tendon in my hip as well. It's like, it's all falling to bits now, and it's not going to get better.'
Tom currently stars in the Paramount+ crime series MobLand, which streams on JioHotstar in India. Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren are his co-stars. He also starred and produced Havoc, which was released on Netflix. The 2024 film Venom: The Last Dance, which he also produced and co-wrote, was his last film with the character.
Talking about starring in Venom for seven years, Tom said, 'I loved playing Eddie in Venom. Juggling chainsaws… Put me on a unicycle and throw everything at me! I was just really trying to push myself as much as I could. But I had no Spider-Man! No Avengers! It's just us. Until those bridges are crossed… That's way beyond my control. And I'd love to do that, but that's not even a conversation to have at my level, of just being an actor in that world.'

Sonu Nigam shares his cherished memory of Janmashtami
Padma Shri awardee Sonu Nigam has shared the fondest memory of his son, Nevaan Nigam. The senior playback singer is set to perform live for a Janmashtami special and has shared that his son used to dress up as Lord Krishna when he was a toddler. The singer will be seen performing with fellow playback singer Shaan for 'Janmashtami LIVE: The World Celebrates Krishna'. Sharing his memories of Janmashtami, Sonu said, "Janmashtami has always been a pious and prayerful event in our house. I have fond memories of my childhood from both Mumbai and Delhi; each has its own distinct way of celebrating the occasion." He further mentioned, "My son, now a big boy, loved dressing up as Krishna when he was a toddler. My sisters wish me a happy birthday every year, for they playfully call me Krishna of our house. In fact, my father was born on Janmashtami, so we wish him a happy birthday too. This year, with JioHotstar bringing everyone together, it feels like those intimate moments are finding a bigger stage." 'Janmashtami LIVE: The World Celebrates Krishna' follows the success of 'Ram Navami LIVE' with Shri Amitabh Bachchan and 'Mahashivratri: The Divine Night' and will also see a performance from Dhridha Rajput. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing you Can be Too Old for Learn More Undo Shaan said, "The personality of Lord Krishna has always fascinated me most among all deities. Every chapter of his life, from infancy to and the supreme Guru, from the mischievous to the masterful, he underplayed his power, unless compelled to, and yet never succumbed to adharma or 'the wrong path.' He was always a team player who led with wisdom and charm. As a kid, I was always so intrigued and excited about Dahi Handi but could never participate. But once, years ago, I was part of a Janmashtami celebration. That day I realized that devotion can dance, and music can smile. Even today, when I sing for Krishna, it's that same boy, just on a bigger stage." With 'Janmashtami LIVE: The World Celebrates Krishna,' for the first time, the audiences will also enjoy exclusive live feeds from revered Krishna temples across India and the world, including Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura, Shri Radharaman Temple in Vrindavan, Shree Dwarkadish Temple in Dwarka, Shree Jagannatha Temple in Puri, and ISKCON temples in Juhu, Mayapur, Vrindavan, Sydney, and Budapest. 'Janmashtami LIVE: The World Celebrates Krishna' is set to premiere on August 16, 2025.
