Tom Hardy is ‘the most intense guy’ I’ve ‘ever seen’ on set, says Austin Butler

A few days after Patrick Stewart remember how Tom Hardy was “weird” and “challenging” on the set of Star Trek: Nemesis (2002), the actor was classified by Austin Butler as “the most intense guy” I’ve “ever seen” in a film production.

It is worth remembering how Butler It is Hardy are on the list of The Bikeridersfilm directed by Jeff Nichols which also has Jodie Comer (Kathy), Norman Reedus (Funny Sonny), Mike Faist (Danny), michael shannon (Zipco), Boyd Holbrook (Lime), between others. The plot follows the rise of a fictional motorcycle club in the 1960s Midwest through the lives of its members.

During an interview with the magazine Interview with Josh Brolin, Austin Butler revealed how Tom Hardy “surprised” him by being able to change intensity between takes. “There is an intimate sensitivity in The Bikeriders,” he stated. “It’s the noise of the engines and the smell of grease that we have to live with. It was nice to go to something that felt more independent and play around in that space a little bit.”

“But one of the things I thought about earlier, when you talked about that relaxation on set, was that Tom Hardy surprised me. I imagined him to be a grizzly bear, always serious,” he continued. And really, he’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. He would play around until the action started and then he would become the most intense guy I’ve ever seen.”

It reminds me of the stories I heard about [Marlon] Brando, talking to the camera operator until the moment the action begins.

Finally, Butler explained how he “learned a lot” from Hardyand even compared it with Josh Brolin: “It reminds me of you, where you can, in that relaxed place where you are receptive to your environment, and then, when the time comes, you can click into what the scene demands.”
