Noomi Rapace Isn’t Polite with Tom Hardy

Noomi Rapace doesn't "need to be polite" when she works with Tom Hardy.
The Swedish actress appears alongside the Batman: The Dark Knight Rises star in Soviet-era thriller Child 44, and says their on screen chemistry comes from being such good friends off-camera:
"I met Tom two years previously and we were looking for something to work on. What was really great was that we know each other really well, and we really trust each other, so we don't need to be polite, we don't need to start from zero. We could just melt into the next one. We had so much for free. It felt like we were this gypsy family coming from New York with all our family and the next stop was Prague [in The Czech Republic]."
Noomi also told how one of the main reasons she wanted to become an actress and travel the world was so it got her away from the cold winters of her native Sweden, but also acknowledged they were always a good time for her creatively. "Because it's dark and cold out, it forces people to be creative, you can't just sit and hang out. For six months it's dark and lonely and forces some creativity," she added.

Christian Bale Thinks Tom Hardy is ‘Phenomenal’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Mystery, Noir, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Christian Bale thinks Tom Hardy is a "phenomenal" actor.
The 38 year old actor claims his talented The Dark Knight Rises co-star "knows his s**t," but says the heavy costumes meant the pair didn't get much interaction.
"Tom is phenomenal. He's an extraordinary actor. If I were a director I would want Tom to be in my movies. He knows his s**t. But it's a funny distance that you have in these movies, literally, by being cocooned by a cowl. I don't truly feel like I've worked with Gary (Oldman), even though we've done three movies together. And likewise with Tom, we're both behind these masks. He's feeling the isolation as well. It's a strange feeling. So we agreed after this we'd like to work with each other on something one day!"
Christian reprises his role as Batman in Christopher Nolan's follow-up to The Dark Knight, and Tom plays arch-rival Bane. Nolan is insistent this will be the final time we see Gotham City.
Tom Hardy Doesn’t Want to Compete with Heath Ledger

.)
The Inception actor has admitted he isn't worried about living up to the late actor's legacy by taking on the role of the villain in the third Batman installment, The Dark Knight Rises.
"That would be putting myself in a competition with somebody who's clearly brilliant. And it's not a question of whose talent is greater or whose work is greater. It's just trying to be the best that we can be. I'm not trying to be better than somebody else. What he did was amazing. That's that. I've got a part I've got to play, and I want to play my part."
Tom portrays muscular comic book super-villain Bane in Christopher Nolan's latest film, while Brokeback Mountain star Heath was awarded a posthumous Best Actor Oscar for his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight Rises producer, Emma Thomas, said the writers wanted to steer clear of similarities with Heath's iconic Joker character: "We were obviously never going to revisit the Joker, and you don't want to be trying to chase that. It's fun to have a very different sort of villain in this, and a different sort of challenge for Batman to meet, much more physical. It's almost a more even match in some ways, you know, in a physical sense."
Tom Hardy to Star in a Musical
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Musicals, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
The Lawless actor has revealed he's closely involved in the development of a new stage production called Harold's Harem, which he will star in.
Tom - who will appear in this year's latest Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises - describes the musical as a "crazy piece of work" and he can't wait to get started on the project. Speaking about his character, he told the Daily Mail, "Harold's a cross between two guys Robert De Niro has played in Martin Scorsese films, The King of Comedy and Taxi Driver. Think of Taxi Driver as a Bollywood movie and Harold's Harem is somewhere where all those - The King of Comedy, Taxi Driver and Bollywood - meet."
However, Tom was coy when asked if he would be singing and dancing in the production, saying, "It's not a traditional musical."
He added that he thought it would be a serious piece more in the vein of the Civil Rights breakthrough musical Caroline Or Change that transferred from New York to London's National Theatre in 2003.
Tom Hardy’s Mad Max Beard
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Tom Hardy has grown a beard because the new Mad Max film shows the character in "his wild days."
The British actor is portraying character Max Rockatansky in Mad Max: Fury Road - the fourth film in the franchise - and confirms he has grown "big and bushy" facial hair because of part of the storyline.
"The beard is to make me look handsome. Really, it's because I'm about to play Mad Max in the new film and we start the shoot by showing him in his wild days. It's going to be really big and bushy - what I have now is only the start," he said.
The Dark Knight Rises star has always wanted to sport some fuzz on his face but has always been stopped in the past because his movie character's have required clean shaves.
"I've always wanted a beard, but I've never been able to have a proper one because I was always having to shave it off for my next role. But at last the stars are aligning for me to grow one and work at the same time."
