Jude Poyer on Tom Hardy's passion for action
While talking with Express, the stunt master, Jude Poyer, shared the actor's dedication to action, noting, "Tom is a very physical person, he's athletic, he studies martial arts and serious actor about the integrity of the character coming across in the action."
Poyer continued, "So it's great to work with someone who's invested in it, because sometimes you work with actors and really they don't care about the physical performance. They just go through the motions and collect a paycheque. That's not Tom Hardy."
