I read that he was wearing high heel shoes while playing Bane. Apparently the camera angles were also always skewed towards making him as big and domineering as possible to fit with the character's personality. Looks to me like Hardy is particularly gifted in the traps department which tank tops / the bulletproof vest Bane wears throughout the movie tends to accentuate.

[@AlanDoubleYou]

This is true according to IMDB 👍

[@maciek8159]

Yes they did have him in platform shoes but that was so he can appear to be taller than Christian bale who is like 6’1

[@djcastano1180]

They also intentionally had Bale down size so hardy could look more massive. The character was written as a recluse partially for this reason. Bale in Batman Begins was 205 lbs. if he stood in front of Hardy with no platforms he’d had dwarfed him height and size was. Smart production moves.

@@peterturner2259 I'm 39 and have not been training actively in 10 years because of a back injury. In my 20thies I was training 25 hour a week in addition to a job in the military (physical exercise a part of the job). I topped out at 85 kg and could not put on any more. I was not ripped, but truly strong for how I looked (Relatively skinny and people guessing me 10 kg lighter than I was). I trained 2 hours of weights and 3-5 hours of martial arts and cardio 4 days a week, as well as alternative weight and cardio 2+2 hours 2 days a week. I ate a lot to keep my energy up, but could not grow any bigger. I started studying and dropped to about 8 hours a week training, and within a year I was 95 kg. Then my back failed and I have been on and off training for years. I have just been through my second back operation, and am currently around 115 kg. (Cutting training is a lot easier than cutting the food intake :), and I trained way to little to keep the muscle mass up). Now at 39 as I finally have started training again I have a lot of fat reserves to take from, and my muscles are blowing up like balloons. I might have naturally high testosterone levels as I have always had problems with achne, but it is fully possible to put on muscle mass quickly even in the late 30thies given you have the right genetics and starting point. Building on the body he had before Warrior would be possible, but that kind of training should not give that muscle composition... His neck is way to big compared to the rest of his body. My impression is that triceps/biceps and the cape muscles (large back muscles) are the fastest growing with natural growth and a weights/martial arts regime. Of course I never had a personal trainer hanging over me hours every day... So who am I to say...

@@jking0.o121 huh? Don't even go there. If you have GOOD genetics, you can look like Hardy. Call BS on this one, dude I'm 170+ pounds . It takes me two months to gain 20 or 25 pounds of muscle working out six days a week. Also eat what I want when I want. My testosterone levels are high as well. It's a blessing really. Can't always believe someone is on the roids. Never had to take them.

[@jking0.o121]

mystic mac the whole point was that he was a scrawny twig till he hit his 30s. He has zero to none as far as a naturally good genetic baseline. He went from zero to hero in just under 6 weeks for Bronson. Which just doesn't happen without some kind of testosterone. 7lbs a week of muscle gains naturally? HAHAHA... Of course you have to lift while on gear. But it makes gaining muscle 10x easier with less exercises needed.

Tom in an interview pretty much admitted to juicing, said they only had a few weeks and he took "candies".

[@davitomarler]

a lot of the change in Tom's muscle definition and appearance over the course of this video may have simply been due to change in light conditions, camera focal length and special and visual effects. Note the comparison of his abs between two photos taken at different times: the after photo where his abs are defined- the light source is hard and coming from above causing every ripple on his abdominal area to show in contrast to the before image where his abs are perceptibly less defined- its shot using a diffused soft lighting with no hard light direction. Take it from someone who works in lighting, this makes all the difference

[@toddshockley]

[@xjoemallardx]

Tom was literally addicted to drugs and alcohol when he was younger, that's why he was so skinny in his early 20's...

[@unbroken5394]

@James Tisdale Exactly. It can be done. I experienced significant physique development when I was in my late 20s-early 30s hitting the gym hard about 5 days a week and eating well. I didn't see quite the improvement that Tom did in such a short period of time (gained about 20 lbs in 4 months, maintaining about 10-12% body fat), but I didn't have the resources that Tom has either. I'm not saying he definitely didn't use PEDs, but I don't think it's impossible that he was natty either. People that use steroids themselves and don't have the same discipline, genetics, and resources that some individuals with great physiques have, like to throw the PED-use accusations around.

As a celebrity trainer no not all actors use. A huge majority doesn’t. Cavill I worked with him for 3 years he’s a beast in the gym. Hardy puts in work. Some of you guys just look for the easy way out. Hardy has been working out pretty consistently for five plus years that’s why he’s able to pack on so much muscle for roles. I have one of those metabolisms where when I have crohns flair ups I lose 25 pounds and then when I get my health back I can pack on 30 pounds of muscle in less then 2 months. As long as I’m lifting, boxing, and eating good. Of course I did five years in prison and did nothing but work out for 48 months so I’ll always have the muscle memory to gain size

Any risks he and other actors take to get those gains are on them. Same can be said for the extreme weight loss roles.

[@TheWolfgangfritz]

I would think that just bringing the physique up to a certain standard through Anabolic Steroids on a temporary timeframe i.e. 3-5 months or less has a lot less risk for the liver, heart and kidneys than if one were a full time body builder. Also, I question the routine some of these "Coaches" use. At 19 I used one tablet of Dianabol a day for three months and it was scary what kind of gains I made. I quit using that method after that initial trial period. I didn't have a Coach, just some Gym Contact that could get you anything you wanted. I'm sure they still exist.

A factor that you didn’t mention, but adds to your theory, is that Tom Hardy was preparing for Bane while filming the movie “Lawless.” There are reports of wardrobe having to make drastic alterations to his clothing just in the time that the production was taking place. I don’t know how long production was, and I am even less knowledgeable about steroids, but it sounded like it was in a very short period of time.
