It’s hard to believe it’s the same person, but it is.

Actor Tom Hardy has once again drawn attention, this time because of his before and after, which has quickly gone viral.

At 48, he has a very different physique from when he first started out.

In his early years on screen, Hardy had a much slimmer appearance, far from the muscular build that defines him today. Over time, and due to the demands of roles like Bronson or Warrior, he completely transformed his body.

The images reignited the debate about his physical transformation and his more than 30 tattoos, many of them with personal meanings.
