Tom Hardy on the Brutal, Balletic Energy of Havoc

Tom Hardy, Actor

“[Director] Gareth Evans has an established hardcore audience. Netflix has an established hardcore audience. It’s not targeted by me for anybody in particular. I made this film for me. And I love all of it, I’m not gonna lie.”

“There’s a secret geek in me that loves acting out in ‘interpretive dance’ through punching and kicking and biting and hitting people with hammers. My inner violent twirly comes out [in Havoc]. It’s like a musical for someone like me.”
