Tom Hardy's experience working in the biography

Back in 2015, during an interview with Female First, actor Tom Hardy shared some amazing experiences of him working in a biographical drama of such infamous gangsters and shared some secrets. “I did not even think about it. I don’t think it needs playing, that’s that. Ronnie was gay, does that make sense? If I thought about it, then that would give me pause to think about it, but I just had to get on with doing what I’m doing, which is my job”, Tom stated.
