Tom Hardy on His Wild ‘Bikeriders’ Accent and Knowing ‘Furiosa’ Is ‘Special’ (Without Even Seeing It Yet)
Tom Hardy opens up about his role as motorcycle gang leader Johnny in Jeff Nichols’ “The Bikeriders” and reveals if he's seen "Furiosa."
Speaking over Zoom a month ahead of the film’s June 21 release, Hardy seems relaxed and in good spirits, dressed down in a black hoodie and puffing on his vape pen between lengthy answers. He’s developed a reputation for crafting unique voices and accents for nearly all his characters, from Bane’s harsh, breathy delivery in “The Dark Knight Rises” to a ruggedly guttural American dialect in “The Revenant” (for which he earned an Oscar nomination). Early in the film, Johnny is seen watching “The Wild Ones” with his wife and children, imitating Marlon Brando’s tough-as-nails exterior as he endeavors to start his own biker gang.
