How the $#%@ did Tom Hardy get so big for Batman?

[ponchsox]

This guy put on some serious mass to play the role of Bane in a short amount of time. Would love some insight into his diet and routine. He was pretty jacked in the Warrior but he was huge in Batman.

dat der.

I'm curious too, i found this the other day and am still confused. Maybe good genetics and a whole lot of free time to dedicate to attaining his desired physique?

Cell-Tech

"Burned of most of the fat calories"
Didn't know I could burn off fat calories and leave the lean calories

[DaBubzy]

I highly doubt he was on dat der celltech....if you saw him in warrior he was pretty jacked, just looks like he fulked hardcore for batman.

Think about it, celebrities/actors who get big for movies literally are paid to train. it's there job to get big; they dont have to worry about work, school or anything else. They literally have every tool at there disposal to have success.

That article seems pretty vague from an unknown source. He must of been eating several thousand calories a day to get that big that fast. That must have been one hell of a cut after the movie.

Spot on DaBubzy, and if i ever win the lottery this is exactly what i'm going to do (besides going back to study).

Either he flexed his traps the entire movie in the warrior or its the cell-tech

[NBThing]

He was already pretty big in the Warrior, and he did Bronson before that - he's been gaining some mass for a long time already.

Check out the pictures of him on set with acne all over his back. And he got "that" big in 4 months.

Every tool at their disposal haha.

But yeah... come on son. Most of them sniff coke like oxygen and they wouldn't get on the tech?

Also if what he actually said that about calories... god damn.

I got you for now repped

[alex2363]

Celltech..plus other heavyduty stuff, Tom Cruise looks like he may even get lipo and take heavy duty stuff too. HGH? all they need is DR script

[k9pit]

Even for the span of 2 years, that's a hell of a transformation

[rival8]

Im pretty sure he just ate a hell of a lot and didn't do anything special. He was big but he definitely had a lot of fat on him at the same time.

PHs are legal in the U.S (Although I believe this has/or is being changed), correct?

I believe the Bush Drug Act basically made almost all of them illegal

[Penile_Dementia]

He was smaller than Bale on set, but much bigger than him in the movie... Fat and camera/lighting (and stuntman! - ie descending the rope) trickery, as well as some extra muscle. I'm not sure he had much extra muscle than he had in Warrior:





He may have used roids, but there's not exactly a helluva lot of extra muscle that he never had before that begs for explanation.

[ebmm5150]

roids. stallone has admitted to using them for movie roles. it seems actors can use them but not everyone else.

[mdp223]

mirin dem traps.

When will it be my turn?

It's do-able, considering 1) newb gains and 2) doing it right.

Just looks like he put on more fat to get a fuller and bigger.

I saw an interview where they asked him how he got so big for Batman and his response was "fat and trickery"

[DTaylor1988]

"fat and trickery"

I watched the same interview, he refused to say anything about trickery lol. He can just put on weight and drop it when he feels like it really. As someone previously said it's there job, I suppose we would all love to get paid to train, he probably goes through chicken like no tomorrow. I've seen an interview of him recently as he's back to normal shape just your average guy, crazy skills!

"I am gothem's reckoning!"

I also saw an interview about Bane being digitally enhanced. That would make sense considering his tattoos have to be digitally removed. Wouldn't hurt to bulk bane up a bit more for the movie I suppose.

Am i the only person that thought he looked absolutely crap? looked like a fat Dianabol bloated mess of his former self? he looked horrible, chunky and not in a good way at all

Im sure having a personal trainer, nutritionist, chef, and tremendous work ethic all at your disposal 24hrs a day doesnt hurt. I find it funny that so many people race to steriods as the answer. Actors often are given the time and resources necessary to accomplish these goals. Im sure if many of us had the same opportunity, with little or no work/family to be responsible for, our monthly results could be equally dramatic.

And yeah...lighting, camera angles, etc. dont hurt either.
