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.

Evidently, the actor is quite adept at hand-to-hand combat outside of cinema. Hardy, 45, entered the 2022 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open Championship, a competition held by Ultimate Martial Arts Championships in England, per The Guardian, citing Hyde News & Pictures reporting. And he won.

He won all of his matches and his certificate of achievement can be seen made out to Edward Hardy—his real name.
