TOM Hardy must be nursing some blisters. The Dark Knight Rises star has been putting in gruelling free-running training for his role in the new Mad Max film.
A source said: “Producers told him it would be worthwhile as there are loads of action sequences in the film that will see Tom bouncing off tough objects.”
Tom takes over from Mel Gibson in the role of Max Rockatansky in the film which is currently being shot in Namibia.
The movie is the reason he grew that straggly beard which he managed to trim for the London premiere of The Dark Knight Rises a couple of weeks back.
