Tom Hardy was suffering during filming for Havoc (Picture: Netflix)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tom Hardy<\/a> has admitted he was really struggling during a brutal fight scene in Havoc.<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old actor is used to taking on intense action sequences<\/a>, but part of Gareth Evans’ new Netflix<\/a> show left him wondering if he’d even ‘make it’.<\/p>\n

In one scene in particular, Tom is in a carefully choreographed fight over two floors of a packed nightclub, which caused some problems.<\/p>\n

‘The Medusa fight scene was hot. I was wearing a thermal and a shirt, a wool shirt and a T-shirt. And it was summer,’ he told RadioTimes.com.<\/p>\n

‘Like, after the first 10 minutes of throwing my arms around, I was like, “I’m not gonna make this. I’m not gonna make the day, Gareth. I think I need to cut the sleeves off this!” ‘<\/p>\n

Tom insisted the outfit felt like a ‘Muppet suit in the sunlight’, with director Gareth adding: ‘It was like a Disney<\/a> mascot in Summer.’<\/p>\n
