Tom Hardy opened up about his various health woes in a candid chat with Esquire magazine. 

The Havoc star, 47, posed for a striking pH๏τoshoot to accompany the interview, which saw him share the cover with his French bulldog Blue.

During the interview, he opened up about various surgeries he’s undergone over the years and the way he’s trying to build his strength up – but did admit one unhealthy habit – he vapes.  

Tom told the interviewer: ‘I’ve had two knee surgeries now, my disc’s herniated in my back, I’ve got sciatica as well.

‘And I have that… is it plantar fasciitis? [inflammation of foot tissue]. Where did that come from? And why? Why?! And I pulled my tendon in my hip as well. It’s like, it’s all falling to bits now, and it’s not going to get better. Unless you do all the stem cells…

‘This is the biopsy of where we’re at: two vapes, somebody else’s clothes, and a H๏τel room that neither of us feels comfortable in.’

Tom previously revealed that he needed to undergo surgery on his knee as a result of injuries sustained from filming stunts and practising jiu-jitsu. 

Later in the interview, Tom was described by the interviewer as stopping mid-answer to ‘wheeze’ and then ‘suck’ on the vape before continuing. 

The actor has previously been spotted vaping while filming Guy Ritchie’s The Fixer earlier this year. 

The Peaky Blinders star also revealed that he had taken Sudafed that day to fight dizziness, before suggesting that he had been losing his hair, his teeth were loose and his knees were getting weaker.

Tom previously seemed to confirm that his hair isn’t all natural during an interview with Hits Radio UK’s Will Best last week.

‘You’ve got your own hair and everything,’ he said to Will, before adding, ‘I’ve got someone else’s.’ 

It was unclear if he’s referring to a hair transplant or some kind of toupee, or if he was simply just joking. 

The Hollywood actor has insisted on having a lavender diffuser in his movie trailer to help him relax on set, making the demands while filming Venom 3 in New York City.

The 27 items he was attempting to request from producer Peter Heslop for his trailer were revealed by The Sun. 

His must have items include an IV drip, 60 strawberry ice cream vapes, M&S low alcohol Czech lager and Molton Brown peppercorn shower gel.

He attempted to email these demands to producer Peter, but instead the email went to namesake Pete Heslop, a 31-year-old IT worker from London.

Last month, Tom fiercely defended Barry Island’s famous ghost train as he cheekily told off a radio presenter during a very chaotic radio interview.

The Hollywood legend – who has been filming a project in Wales this year – made an appearance on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X, where he was interviewed by co-host Dominic Byrne.

He asked of his time in Wales recently: ‘People were saying they spotted you on Barry Island.

‘And apparently you were on the ghost train, is that true?,’ to which Tom replied: ‘I don’t know.’

‘Okay, because I’ve been on ghost train, and it’s one of the scariest,’ Dominic added.

The Legend actor then quipped: ‘Hang on a minute, it’s brought it back to me. It’s brought it back to me. It goes around in a loop and comes back out on the left?

It comes after he seemed to confirm that his hair isn’t all natural, during an interview with Hits Radio UK’s Will Best last week

‘Yes, I’ve been on that,’ while the host admitted: ‘And the guy running the ride is actually scarier than the ride itself.’

But Tom looked serious as he quipped: ‘I wouldn’t say that.’

‘Right,’ said Dominic.

‘You can’t say that,’ remarked hilariously the Venom star.

‘Because he might be listening, and that’s just a terrible thing to say about Barry Island, isn’t it, when you think about it? I feel I should defend him immediately.’

‘That’s wrong. I had a great time on Barry Island.’
