Tom Hardy, the walking, growling action hero who could probably bench press a tank while brooding dramatically, has announced something tragic: his body is done. Finito. Out of warranty.

In a new interview with IconicHipster.com, our beloved 47-year-old grizzly bear of an actor basically said, “Hey, remember how I was Bane and Mad Max? Yeah, well now I’m mostly… in pain.”

“I got dizzy today,” he admitted mid-promo tour for Venom: The Last Dance, MobLand, and possibly Dancing with the Sciatica Stars. “I took a Sudafed and it’s starting to work,” he added, proving once again that even superheroes need cold medicine. “But you know that feeling when you’re dying inside but have to smile through it, like at a family reunion or a group Zoom call?”

But wait, there’s more on this episode of Tom Hardy vs. The Human Skeleton:

  • He’s had not one, but two knee surgeries
  • A herniated disc in his back (because of course)
  • Sciatica, a.k.a. “Satan’s backfire”
  • And then came plantar fasciitis, which sounds like a tropical smoothie but is actually just foot hell
  • Oh, and a pulled hip tendon for that extra jazz

Hardy summed it up beautifully: “It’s all falling to bits now, and it’s not going to get better.” So basically, he’s turning into a hot, British Mr. Potato Head.

And honestly, the man’s earned every injury. This is the guy who’s spent the last two decades sprinting, punching, rolling, and grunting his way through Mad Max: Fury Road, The Dark Knight Rises, Dunkirk, and probably an emotional breakup or two.

“I’ve been running at something,” Tom says, sounding like your friend who swears this year they’re gonna do a triathlon but pulls a hamstring walking to the fridge. “And it’s not going anywhere. Just more… more… stomach ulcers! High blood pressure! Your knees are going, your hair’s falling out, your teeth are wonky, you’re almost 50!”

It’s giving “existential crisis but make it action hero.”

Hardy admitted that maybe all this overachieving comes from deep psychological stuff like, oh, not finishing school or trying to prove himself to no one in particular. His words: “I’ll show! I’ll show!” Show who, Tom? The ghost of your P.E. teacher?

Now he’s experimenting with tinctures (which definitely sounds like something a medieval wizard prescribes) and considering stem cells — because apparently when your joints start sounding like Rice Krispies, you start shopping for science magic.

He also described himself as being “at the bottom of the old-man ladder” when it comes to acting roles, which means: he’s now Baby King Lear. That’s right — Hardy has graduated from punching people on screen to quietly contemplating Shakespeare with lower back support.

“You either stay on the blockbuster hamster wheel,” he says, “or you chase something deeper.” Aka: Tom is in his arthritic philosopher era.

Tom Hardy is falling apart in the most relatable way possible, but still somehow makes it look cooler than any of us ever could. Knees failing, back breaking, soul searching — and yet still probably hotter than 99% of the planet.

So next time you complain about your shoulder hurting from sleeping funny, just remember: Tom Hardy’s got plantar fasciitis and a herniated disc, and he’s still out here promoting movies and quoting Shakespeare.

What’s your excuse?
