Tom Hardy has revealed that he trained hard for his new movie Warrior.
We are set to get two Hardy movies in as many week as Warrior will follow the release of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy today - a movie that is already being raved about.
Warrior saw Hardy train mixed martial arts and he admits that, at times, he forgot that there was a great dramatic story behind the movie.
Speaking to The Guardian the actor said: "In hindsight I can see it's great drama, but when you're getting your teeth kicked in and eating endless chicken and broccoli, you don't really care."
"I did two hours boxing a day, two hours mai tai, two hours ju jitsu followed by two hours choreography and two hours of weightlifting seven days a week for three months. So come on! You have to really want to do that, so it was a challenge."
Hardy has reunited with Inception filmmaker Christopher Nolan for new Batman movie The Dark Night Rises - in which he is set to take on the role of Bane.
Warrior is released 23rd September.
