Tom Hardy says he was overweight for his role in "Dark Knight Rises"

The metamorphosis of Tom Hardy in 2012, during his participation of Bane who was an authentic legend.

10 years later, Tom Hardy's portrait continues to talk and in an interview with BBC Radio 1 the actor reveals: "If you really study [Bane's] photographs, I was really overweight, actually. I ate a lot and it wasn't much heavier than I am now, but I just ate more pizza. They shoot from below to make you look big," he revealed. "People lifted the covers of their motorcycles [helmets] and said 'I always thought you were bigger, man'... I was just bald, a little pig and with pencil arms."

"This is the magic of enlightenment and three or four months getting up and training and eating a lot of pizza. It wasn't great for my heart. The goal was to look as big as possible," he continued. "I have very thin legs and my friend Jacob Tomuri - my stuntman - liked to say 'Why did Tom come in riding an emu?'

"Compared to Christian Bale, I was by no means extreme in my body changes," Hardy told The Daily Beast in a separate interview.
