Tom Hardy<\/a> is reportedly stepping away from the spotlight following the wrap of his latest crime drama \u201cMobLand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reports suggest the movie star is taking a break to rest as the demands of his physical roles have left him \u201cfalling to bits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Hardy seems to have already started his acting hiatus as he was pictured enjoying a beach day in Barbados with his wife, Charlotte Riley, earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Hardy would likely be out of the spotlight for the foreseeable future, as reports suggest he\u2019s taking a \u201cmajor career break\u201d to rest.<\/p>\n

Having starred in hit action films like \u201cVenom,\u201d \u201cMad Max: Fury Road,\u201d and \u201cTaboo,\u201d to mention a few, it appears his physical roles have taken a toll on him, with an insider telling the Daily Mail<\/a> that he plans \u201cto take a sabbatical,\u201d which can last for several years.<\/p>\n

It appears his schedule is also clear for that, as he has finished filming the second series for \u201cMobLand,\u201d although it remains unclear which movies are in the pipeline for him.<\/p>\n

According to the news outlet, Hardy will be stepping back \u201cso he can have a rest,\u201d but he previously complained that his demanding roles are physically wearing him out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had two knee surgeries now, my disc\u2019s herniated in my back, I\u2019ve got sciatica as well\u2026 It\u2019s all falling to bits now, and it\u2019s not going to get better,\u201d Hardy told Esquire<\/a> last year about his struggles.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s currently no release date yet for the second season of \u201cMobLand,\u201d but fans are eagerly waiting for the series as the first season was a major success when it dropped last year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Hardy\u2019s break from the spotlight could also be because he is looking to spend more time with his family.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHavoc\u201d actor is married to actress Charlotte Riley, and they share 2 children together.<\/p>\n

\u201cTom is one of the busiest men in the filming industry,\u201d a source said. \u201cCharlotte must never see him, but now she won\u2019t be able to get enough of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple seems to already be moving in that direction as they were seen taking a dip in the ocean while on holiday in Barbados earlier this month, per Fox News Digital<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the outing, Hardy wore a gray UFC swimsuit with \u201cVenum\u201d written on the back while he flashed his tattoo as he went shirtless. Other photos showed him sitting on a lounge chair on the shore as he applied sunscreen.<\/p>\n

The couple first met in 2009 on the set of \u201cWuthering Heights,\u201d after which they started dating and subsequently got engaged the following year.<\/p>\n

They later tied the knot in 2014 at Ch\u00e2teau de Roussan in Provence, France, and have been doing stronger ever since.<\/p>\n

Back in March, Riley spoke with The Times<\/a> about her first impression of Hardy, revealing that he was such a gentleman with a sweet gesture he made to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe made me a really decent cup of tea. Strong. There\u2019s not much point if the spoon doesn\u2019t stand up. \u2026 And he told me that his mother was northern,\u201d she told the news outlet. \u201cSo, I thought, all right then. When somebody can give as good as they get, you know you\u2019re in for a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Actor Would Rather Play \u2018Heavy\u2019 Roles<\/p>\n

\"TomZUMAPRESS.com \/ MEGA <\/p>\n

Even though his roles are physically demanding, Hardy seemingly likes them like that and wouldn\u2019t ask for any less.<\/p>\n

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, he revealed that he turned down the idea of starring in a film that isn\u2019t what he\u2019s known for and may likely never act in something light-hearted, jokingly saying, \u201cI don\u2019t think I suit rom-coms.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI don\u2019t know. I just don\u2019t think I do. But maybe if it was interesting and good fun, I\u2019d be up for it. But I haven\u2019t seen anything come across the desk yet where I\u2019d go, \u2018Oh, I\u2019d love to do that.\u2019 So, we\u2019ll wait, I\u2019ll wait. It\u2019s just as yet. \u2026 Hasn\u2019t happened yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if it comes down to the wire and it seems the sensible thing to do and I take advice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hardy also refuses to let the physical strain slow him down as he remains dedicated to jiu-jitsu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Hardy is reportedly stepping away from the spotlight following the wrap of his latest crime drama \u201cMobLand.\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,21537],"class_list":["post-608957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-tom-hardy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
