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\u2019 new Netflix<\/a> show left him wondering if he\u2019d even \u2018make it\u2019.<\/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

\u2018The Medusa fight scene was hot. I was wearing a thermal and a shirt, a wool shirt and a T-shirt. And it was summer,\u2019 he told RadioTimes.com.<\/p>\n

\u2018Like, after the first 10 minutes of throwing my arms around, I was like, \u201cI\u2019m not gonna make this. I\u2019m not gonna make the day, Gareth. I think I need to cut the sleeves off this!\u201d \u2018<\/p>\n

Tom insisted the outfit felt like a \u2018Muppet suit in the sunlight\u2019, with director Gareth adding: \u2018It was like a Disney<\/a> mascot in Summer.\u2019<\/p>\n
