Tom Hardy stunned onlookers at a martial arts tournament he “secretly arranged” to enter and “nailed it” by going on to win a gold medal.
The Hollywood actor – known for starring in Venom, The Dark Knight Rises, and Mad Max: Fury Road – proved himself a real-life action hero when he competed in the UMAC Milton Keynes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open 2022, held at Oakgrove School on Saturday (September 17). Event sponsor Sean Rosborough revealed the organisers knew Tom would be competing in the contest for weeks but kept it “to themselves” so his appearance would not become a distraction.
Sean, 37, praised Tom for taking photographs with fans, adding he was not fazed by all the mums in the audience who were “all over him.” Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “He was brilliant. A lot of people were asking for photos, and coming up to him, and he had no problem with that.
