Tom Hardy has become one of the hottest stars in Hollywood over the last few years, thanks to his no holds barred turn in Bronson
and eyecatching role in Christopher Nolan's Inception. No wonder, then, that Nolan turned to the actor when it came to casting Bane:
there aren't many in Hollywood who can convince as a muscular juggernaut and a mastermind at the same time.
Empire: You have a lot of very physical scenes in this movie. How is it doing those with that costume and mask on?
Tom: It's uncomfortable because your body's

really restricted. It takes a while to get the sweat on and get loose and fit. It's heavy and it's tight and the costumers need it to
look good and solid. So it looks great when it's tight but it's not practical to move it, and you need a couple of hours of moving
about before the suit will then move with you. Then the costumer will come in and tuck bits and tweak bits so it looks great, but then
it's all functional and you start sweating. Then you get drenched with sweat on the inside and it creates another layer between me and
the costume, so that's when it gets comfortable, funnily enough. A bit like when you have a scab and you pick off the scab. It's like
ripping off a plaster; it's like that sort of... freedom. But the first couple of hours is a bit of a pain in the arse. Going for a pee
is really a pain in the arse.
Empire: Really? Why?
Tom: You got zips and undershorts, underarmour - body armour - under that. It's all a bit of a faff. Forget about taking
a shit, that's not happening. [laughs].
Empire: Is that why Bane's so angry?
Tom: Oh yes, fucking retentive. Totally. Miserable.
Empire: How easy is it to breathe through the mask?
