Famous British actor, producer, and screenwriter Tom Hardy is forced to take a multi-year break from work. The reason is serious health issues caused by intense physical exertion, as reported by the Daily Mail.
British actor, producer, and screenwriter Tom Hardy has announced a temporary halt to his active career. The reason is serious health problems that have arisen amid intense physical exertion, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The artist himself stated that he plans to "take a break," which, according to him, may stretch on for several years. This decision has become a necessity for the recovery of his body. To date, Tom Hardy has already undergone two knee surgeries and is also suffering from a herniated disc and sciatica, causing shooting pains due to inflammation of the sciatic nerve. "Everything is falling apart... And it won’t get better," Hardy candidly admitted.
Sources from the publication also suggest that the work break may be related to the actor's desire to spend more time with his family. Tom Hardy is currently 48 years old.
He gained widespread recognition after his brilliant performance in the film "Stuart: A Life Backwards," where he masterfully portrayed the character of drug addict and homeless man Stuart Shorter. This role earned him a nomination for the prestigious BAFTA award.
Throughout his fruitful career, Tom Hardy has appeared in more than fifty projects. Among his most recognizable works are the series "Peaky Blinders," as well as the blockbusters "Mad Max: Fury Road," "The Revenant," "Dunkirk," and, of course, "Venom."
