The article mentions that Inception star Tom Hardy will now play Ricky Tarr, who was going to be played by Michael Fassbender.

Tom Hardy's Workout

Tom Hardy Is Dreamy and Frank for Men’s Health

One of the stars who is now gaining mainstream acceptance in Hollywood is critically acclaimed British actor Tom Hardy, now seen as The Forger in the blockbuster “Inception.” Riding the wave, Men’s Health magazine is running an interview and a stunning photospread with the actor in its latest issue – and it’s a must-read by all counts.
Though his fans must certainly know a lot about Tom, larger audiences may not, which is precisely why all those who liked him in Nolan’s film should not miss out on this interview. In it, Hardy talks about anything and everything, from his life as a young man having just found fame and money, to why he believes hard work counts more than talent in his line of work, and his son.


“There comes a point when the world will stop rewarding potential and talent, natural gifts,” Hardy says when the question of his potential comes up. “There’s only so long that people will put up with the potential of working with someone who could be brilliant... To be told ‘Tom could do it’ was enough.” There comes a point where if you want to participate at a certain level in anything, you cannot just turn up and be respected. We all want to be recognized by people that we recognize. And a lot of the people who I think are brilliant – and who I want to be more like – work their [expletive]-ing [expletive]off, constantly... Over time, technique wins over natural ability. People who work hard, with constant application, determination and tenacity – although they may not be as interesting, or have as much flair – will win,” the actor says.

He also goes into the details of his past struggles with substance abuse – he was addicted to crack cocaine and alcohol, but has been sober since 2003. Life was very much a rollercoaster for him back then so, to this day, he continues to be amazed by how he didn’t contract some disease or, even worse, ended up dead after a night – or more – of heavy partying. The way in which he’d plunge into this lifestyle is partly due to his fear of failure, he tries to rationalize. Be that as it may, the reason why he’s no longer living like this is to be found in a little boy being born: his son.

“Louis arriving was an absolute godsend. Children need things. Not want things. Want and need are two different things I have always mixed up. When Louis came along he was like, ‘You can’t think about you! I’m here!’ It separated a lot of my selfish behavior,” the actor explains. For the full interview and the stunning photospread, pick up the latest issue of Men’s Health.

Tom Hardy's Men's Health interview

Tom Hardy is already a critically acclaimed actor and now he's set for commercial success with the release of must see movie Inception this month, cage fighting movie Warrior with Nick Nolte, and the upcoming Mad Max reboot which he'll film in Australia this year alongside Nicholas Hoult. He appeared on Jonathan Ross's show a couple of weeks ago and now he stars in a photoshoot in Men's Health, and an accompanying interview where he looks back over the things he's learned. Here are some extracts:

* On his past addictions: “I thought I’d have a little bit of a party, and I’d end up high and frightened, in places that scared me. In a blackout I could end up anywhere. I might wake up somewhere the other side of London, or in another country. Or in bed with someone I didn’t know (OP Note: Like with a a naked guy and a cat.), not knowing how I got there. Bleeding. This was on a daily basis. And I was going to work. I didn’t want to appear rock ’n’ roll. I didn’t want anyone to know I was out of control, but I couldn’t hide it. Eventually, the body gives up. My body told me. I was completely kaput. I was lucky I didn’t get hepatitis or AIDS.”

* On his potential: "There comes a point when the world will stop rewarding potential and talent, natural gifts. There’s only so long that people will put up with the potential of working with someone who could be brilliant. . . To be told ‘Tom could do it’ was enough.” There comes a point where if you want to participate at a certain level in anything, you cannot just turn up and be respected. We all want to be recognised by people that we recognise. And a lot of the people who I think are brilliant – and who I want to be more like – work their f**king arses off, constantly. . . Over time, technique wins over natural ability. People who work hard, with constant application, determination and tenacity – although they may not be as interesting, or have as much flair – will win."

* On his fear of failure: “Success or failure were different masks for the same beast, which is fear. So it was better to be a no show than to be a poor show. It still bolsters up my false pride, my ego, when I say ‘well I didn’t try, so you never know how good I’m going to be. And that way you can busk many years. Jay-Z says ‘this is me making it up’ – meaning ‘imagine if I wrote something, if I really cared’. And he’s saying that as a joke, but it’s the same sentiment.”

* On his son: “Louis arriving was an absolute godsend. Children need things. Not want things. Want and need are two different things I have always mixed up. When Louis came along he was like, ‘You can’t think about you! I’m here!’ It separated a lot of my selfish behaviour.”

Tom Hardy in July issue of Vanity Fair

Age: 32. Provenance: Hammersmith, London.

Diet Hard: Having already played a Guy Ritchie thug in RocknRolla and delivered a shocking performance as a tormented prisoner in Bronson, and even further beefed up his bruiser résumé with a role as a martial-artist in the soon-to-be-released Warrior — Hardy has now landed the lead in Mad Max 4: Fury Road, George Miller's reboot of his Mad Max series. “So far I have dropped 28 pounds and I've got another 10 to go,” Hardy says. “We've got two months out in the desert, where we'll be working and grafting and chiseling away at the body. It's going to be a very physically intense part.”

And If That Doesn't Sound Broody and Intense Enough … Hardy shares the screen this month with Leonardo DiCaprio and Marion Cotillard in Inception, Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated (and deeply shrouded) mind-bending new film. “He was very cloak-and-dagger about the whole thing,” Hardy says of the director. “A lot of us were in the dark, even on set. People didn't even know what was going on day to day. But Chris knew exactly what was going on.”

So Inception's Plotline Is …? “All I can tell you: it's an epic high-octane espionage thriller with a twist."
