In the span of his twenty year career, Tom Hardy has played addicts, resurrected gangsters, incestuous explorers, notorious criminals, ventilated villains and even cured the quarantine blues by reading bedtime stories aloud, dog at his side, to the world at large.

Tilda pointed out that you always have to very careful when physical with someone on set, but admitted she really didn’t realise just how hard she was slapping Hardy.
The actress said, “He was okay with it! After that, he would say, ‘It’s okay, you can slap me.’”
For Tilda, it just showed how committed Hardy was to the Capone role, as she highlighted how uncomfortable his prosthetics were and especially his bloodshot contact lenses.
She said: “People don’t realise how hard prosthetics are on actors and his eyes were hurting him a lot because he had these contacts on. So I definitely felt bad for him.”
