Actor Tom Hardy Wins His Second Jiu-Jitsu Event of Year

Actor Tom Hardy has played several violent, physical and brutal characters throughout his career. From portraying notorious criminal Charles Bronson to taking on the role of Bane as one of Batman’s most physically imposing adversaries.

He won all of his matches and his certificate of achievement can be seen made out to Edward Hardy—his real name. But this wasn’t even his first tournament win.
