Tom Hardy said in a recent interview with Esquire UK that his body has passed, after his life being beaten in real life in movie scenes and martial arts competitions. The actor is known for his physical condition on screen, both in the bane of “The Dark Knight Rises” or as Max Rockatansky in “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Films like The Fanatic, The Warrior and Venom trilogy have also been hurt over the years.

“I have had two knee surgeries now, and my discs have herniated on my back and have sciatica,” Hardy told the publication. "Then I have... is plantar fasciitis? Where did that come from? Why? Why?! I also pulled the tendon to my hips. Like, now everything is turned into debris and not getting better."

Hardy is currently facing Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren in the Paramount+ crime series "Mobland". He also titled Gareth Evans' Havoc, which began broadcasting on Netflix in late April. Hardy's comic movie day is behind him now. He made his debut as Venom in Sony's 2018 film, which made $856 million at the global box office. He replayed the character in two sequels, Venom: Let the Holocaust in 2021 and 2025's Venom: The Last Dance, which was dubbed Hardy's last outing and as a character, it had a global box office of $478 million.

"I love playing Eddie in 'Venom'," Hardy told Esquire in UK. "The cluttered chainsaw... let me step on a link and throw everything at me! I'm really trying to push myself as much as possible. But I don't have Spider-Man! No Avengers! It's just us. Until those bridges cross... it's my control.

Over the years, Hardy has been outspoken about making a movie, and Venom is fighting Tom Holland's Spider-Man. He revealed on the Discourse Podcast in March that he was “as close as possible” and that he might cross the border before the conversation failed.

"We played in Sony's full Marvel game against Disney, where (Marvel Studios president) Kevin Feige has a lot of cards, and Sony itself has a lot of cards, including Spider-Man, and then there's no crossover," he said. "We'd love to cross over! It didn't happen. That's what happened, and that's one of them."
