Renowned actor Tom Hardy, known for electrifying performances in films like 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'Mad Max: Fury Road', has opened up about the significant physical toll his action-packed career has exacted on his body.

Speaking about his role in 'Venom', Hardy recounted the high-intensity stunts, like juggling chainsaws and riding unicycles, which pushed his physical limits. Nevertheless, the actor is enduring chronic injuries, having undergone two knee surgeries, dealt with a herniated disc, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and a hip tendon pull. He admitted, "It's all falling to bits now, and it's not going to get better."

Despite these challenges, Hardy continues to embrace action roles, starring in the crime series 'MobLand' and Netflix's 'Havoc'.
