In
the
upcoming
British
drama
miniseries,
Taboo,
Tom
Hardy
plays
the
character
named
James
Keziah
Delaney,
a
tormented
man
trying
to
return
to
his
native
place
after
his
father's
death.
But
the
actor
says
the
role
of
Delaney
is
one
of
the
most
tortured
characters
he
has
ever
portrayed.
"Delaney
is
probably
one
of
the
most
tortured
characters
I've
played
because,
for
me,
he's
connected
to
everyone
in
the
piece
in
a
very
personal
way.
It
wasn't
just
about
playing
James
Delaney
but
also
about
really
immersing
myself
in
everyone
else." Said
Tom
Hardy
in
a
statement.
"We're
still
on
the
edit
on
Episode
8.
It's
a
slow
burn
in
the
way
a
novel
would
be.
After
Episode
3,
it
starts
moving
around
like
a
chess
piece.
I
don't
find
it
that
dark
-
I
just
had
fun
playing
in
it."
Hardy
explained.
Hardy
also
puts
light
on
the
prospect
of
him
featuring
in
the
future
Batman
movies
and
said,
"I
was
speaking
to
Chris
[Nolan]
when
we
were
doing
screen
tests
and
he
asked
what
I
thought
I
would
like
to
do
vocally,"
"And
I
said,
'there
are
two
roads
that
it
could
go
down
at
this
moment
in
time,
one
is
orthodox
and
however
you
want
to
build
it.' Instead,
he
showed
him
a
video
of
Gorman,
and
the
voice
of
Bane
was
born.
Bane
is
not
too
far
from
the
real
person,"
Hardy
stated
further.
