TOM HARDY: Just enjoy yourself.
If you don’t like it, that’s cool.
There’s something for everybody.
I’m just one of the tribe.
Is there a certain role that you would like people to start with?
HARDY: Nah, I don’t mind.
If you like movies, enjoy them.
There’s plenty for everybody.
I know what a bitch it is for insurance to pull something like that off.
What did it mean to you to actually be riding real bikes with everyone and really doing that stuff?
That’s just a beautiful shot.
I don’t think I was in that one.
Wish I was in that.
The other stuff where I rode, I mean, I like riding.
I’m not particularly good, but I’ve been riding for about seven years, maybe more.
The difference between the bikes that I ride is that they have brakes.
Not that Harleys don’t have brakes they do but these were sort of antiquarian bikes in many ways.
The brakes you have to pump, and even then, it’s questionable whether they’ll stop you.
So, it was great, but it needed some attention.
I did all that.
I’m 46 years old.
I’ve always been quite instinctive, so I don’t have a process.
Any process that works to get the job done, really.
I’m quite geeky, so I’ve studied lots of stuff.
But how long do I prepare?
It depends on what it is.
That may sound, perhaps, as if I don’t care.
It’s quite the opposite, actually.
Sometimes the case file doesn’t corroborate what the director is trying to get at, or the writer.
Not everything is set in stone, some things you don’t mess with at all.
Obviously, in theatre you have to learn your lines before turning up and all that sort of stuff.
It really just depends.
So, I approach every project depending on how I meet it.
The Bikeridersis in theaters in the US on June 21.
