    [Empire]: How is it working with Christian Bale?

    [Tom]: I love Christian. He’s brilliant. He’s really good fun. And it’s like, he’s a really serious actor, he takes the work very seriously, but not himself very seriously. He’s a very funny, witty man, very smart. He’s a brilliant character actor, and not at all alpha male in the way that there’s not enough limelight for everybody to shine around him. So he’s not greedy. He has a tremendous humility as a performer. It’s a fucking breath of fresh air to work with somebody like that. And it’s very physical.

    [Empire]: Because that is the advantage of Bane as villian…

    [Tom]: This is the fight film.

    [Empire]: You get to beat him up.

    [Tom]: Well, it goes both ways. We beat each other up; we beat the shit out of each other. And he is a big lad, Christian. He’s not messing around. I just pull faces and wear tights for a living, do you know what I mean? I’m not a fighter [laughs], I give him all I’ve got and I’m like, Yeah! Then he gets up and goes, [does spot-on Bale impression] “That was really good” [claps hands]. And I’m like, “That was all I’ve got” [laughs]. He’s tougher than I am. In real life.

    HARDY, TOM HARDY.

    With the “Skyfall” release date approaching, James Bond is a hot topic. Rumor has it that this will be Daniel Craig’s last outing as 007, as the official movie photos reveal a considerably older looking Craig than the previous two films. The question on everyone’s lips is… who will be his replacement ?

    A name that caught our eye is Tom Hardy. The deep sexy voiced actor possesses all the qualities he needs to join the franchise. Arrogant, smooth, rough, body sculpted and in a dangerous way, good looking, Hardy reminds us a bit of Craig himself.

    He is currently one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood, after the roles he had in the Christopher Nolan blockbusters “Inception” and “The Dark Knight Rises”. Hardy is one of the actors Nolan casts on regular basis and publicly stated that he would love to play Bond with Nolan as a director. That wouldn’t be impossible, as Nolan also said he would like to do a Bond movie “when the time is right.”

    According to MGM, the next installment in the series would be released in late 2014. Hardy is 34 years old. Assuming that Daniel Craig will make one last appearance after “Skyfall”, Hardy would still be fit for the job and about the same age Craig had when he did “Casino Royale.”

    A Nolan directed James Bond movie starring Tom Hardy. I don’t know if my mind can handle that.
