Tom Hardy is "an emotional mountain" says co-star

Tom Hardy is
Tom Hardy. Our favourite mountain.
 

There's a new film coming out with perhaps the fittest cast since Ocean's 11. Instead of Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Matt Damon, though, this time there are some newer, younger models: Shia LaBeouf, Guy Pearce and the irresistible Tom Hardy.

He might be a pretty face, but he's also a great actor, and that's according to the not-so-bad Guy, who told website Flicks and Bits: "It's so brilliant that Tom Hardy is playing the role, because he is the most exciting actor I've seen in a long time... and he brings an integrity and a power to the screen that is incredibly compelling."

He continued: "That first scene that we had together was me feeling like I'm running rings around this man, not being intimidated by him.

"And that was very difficult, because he's like a mountain, a mount emotionally and physically. I think that will translate on screen."

Cue lots of jokes about climbing mountains etc etc.

Guy didn't only have love for his male co-star, though. He also tipped his proverbial hat to Jessica Chastain, who's much friendlier than her stint in The Help would let you think. He gushed: "Jessica Chastain is such a natural, it's completely effortless and therefore disarming.

"She's also really warm and open and lovely, I mean, as soon as she saw me she was like, 'Oh my god, can I give you a hug?!' I was like, 'Sure, give me a hug!'"

Awww, Guy! Now, excuse us, we're off to get our hiking gear.
