Tom Hardy talking about getting kicked in the testicles, by a very, very small human being and a very big one. Is there anything better than Tom Hardy interviews?

I managed to survived my entire life without getting kicked in the testicles. And then one day I was changing the nappy of my son. It was a sock dance. I put him on his back and he was moving his feet about. I was like, “Come on…” and he brought his heel down and clipped the top of my left testicles. It took me to the fucking floor, man. 

I didn’t see it coming, I was loose. And I took it straight on the bell, I thought, “Jesus. That’s what it’s like to be kicked in the balls.” Excrutiating agony. And my son is only a foot-and-a-half long. 

When I was doing Bronson, I was arse-naked with six guys pretending to kick the shit out of me in a cage. Bam, bam, bam… and this one guy kicks me in the testicles. It was full impact. I saw my testicles go up, inside my arsehole, and then come back out. Time slows down when shit happens that’s serious. I thought, “Jesus, I’m going to pass out…” Nothing happened. I didn’t feel anything, I must have these super-testicles. A year later, my son took me to the floor.
