Scene from a movie? Tom Hardy surprises by fighting in a jiu-jitsu tournament

Actor Tom Hardy surprised everyone present at the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open Championship 2022, which took place this Saturday (17) in the town of Milton Keynes, England, appearing without any fanfare for the dispute and winning all his fighting. .

The martial arts tournament, focused on Brazilian jiu-jitsu, practiced for years by Hardy, took place in the gymnasium of a school in the small English town. The actor’s presence was not expected by viewers, particularly as he signed up for the event using his real name, Edward Hardy.

A spokesperson for the event spoke to the British Guardian newspaper, via Variety, revealing that Hardy is “a really nice guy”. “Everyone recognized him, but he was very humble and was happy to make time for people to take pictures with him,” the spokesperson said. “It was a real pleasure to have him competing in our event”.

This isn’t the first time Hardy has appeared at a martial arts event without any announcements. In August, Tom Hardy also attended and won the REORG Open Jiu-Jitsu Championship event in Wolverhampton, also in England.

“I recognized him right away,” Danny Appleby, a Hardy’s opponent in the August tournament, told local newspaper Teeside Gazette. “Everyone knows who Tom Hardy is, right? I was shocked. He said ‘just forget it’s me and do what you normally would,’ “the fighter said.

Appleby continued: “He’s a really strong guy. You wouldn’t think so since he’s a celebrity. I do well, I’ve done about six tournaments and I’ve been on the podium in all of them. But he’s probably the toughest competitor he’s ever had: he’s definitely lived up to his character as Bane, that’s for sure. “

The British fighter mentions the villain Bane, played by Tom Hardy in “Batman: The Dark Knight Rises”, but there is another character starring the actor who comes to mind hearing this story: Tom Conlon, a war veteran who become a star. of MMA in the 2011 film “Warrior” which, like Hardy, came out of nowhere to win all fights of him.
