Tom Hardy on Playing Charles Bronson (2009)

In March 2009, Tom Hardy spoke to ITN about the making of the film 'Bronson'. Hardy discussed how he felt playing Britain's most notorious prisoner and opened up about the relationship he built with Bronson while researching the role.
Charles Bronson, who first entered Britain's penal system as Michael Petersen and who today goes by Charles Salvador, is the subject of a parole hearing today at London's Royal Courts of Justice. Convicted of armed robbery in 1974, most of the crimes of which Bronson has been convicted occurred while he was in prison. Considered to be Britain's most violent inmate, over the years Bronson has staged prison protests, taken hostages in prison sieges, and assaulted fellow inmates and prison staff. His original sentence was for just seven years. Bronson's behaviour inside, however, has caused that sentence to be extended to cover most of his life.

Charlie isn't hated. He's no angel but there are many many people convicted of far worse crimes than anything he's done. I hope he gets his parole and gets to enjoy the time he has left at age 70.

"Has it been an added bonus gaining all these muscles with your other half loving it?". What the hell kind of question is that? Imagine if a male interviewer asked a female actress "has it been an added bonus now you've got thinner with your other half loving it?".

Charles bronson lives in my town, slightly worrying much

[@Marco-hg4cx]

Coward much 🤷‍♂️

[@becky1993x]

Worrying. The guys in his 70s and just wants to live the rest of his life with freedom and to see the things hes missed out on! Not to come near you and cause harm!

[@Marco-hg4cx]

@BeckY Exactly right. We live in a world where people are terrified of a virus with a 99.7% survival rate though, so people are being brought up on cowardice! I'd love to have him living near me!
