"Sometimes you’ve gotta cut a little piece of yourself off. No matter how much it hurts. In order to grow. In order to move on." The man may be a little unhinged, but that is a truth that a lot of people ignore. Been there myself, couldn't bring myself to remove a part of me that was clinging onto something that was already gone.

@@fairybits I'm also having to go through something very similar to Tom, although it was more a close friend than a lover, and it has been exceptionally difficult for me right now and I've been majorly struggling. Hearing this really was a wake up call and it helped immensely.
fairybits WHOA CHILL! All I was saying that I was going through something similar and that the comment helped me! That wasn’t an insult, it was a compliment?!
I've read he's incredibly smart. I'm just imagining a show where he sits and listens to folks talk about their issue(s) and then he drops this poignant, well thought out bit of philosophy that helps people to understand the place they're in and gives them the tools to move past it.
@@AndyBankside And as an addendum, I have, possibly, met quite a few crims, including armed robbers and murderers, and a lot of them, underneath it all, have some weird psychic awareness and almost profound emotional understanding and sensitivity, which has usually been crushed and suppressed by hideous childhood trauma. Not, of course, that I am in any way condoning or excusing their adult behaviour. But listening to Tom relate that story, it reminded me of a lot of them.
I could not help but smile all the way through this. I'm in a shit place at the moment head's all messed up, I stumble onto this, and Charlie Bronson just happened to give the best best bit of advice I've ever heard. LAV IT!
This conversation got me through a lot of stuff!!! got me thinking... a lot!! Because , "Sometimes you've got to cut a piece of yourself off no matter how much it hurts, in order... to grow!!!" so easy to say, so hard to do and even eternally harder to feel!!! Because let's not lie: feeling, mind and heart work separately but together!! Unanimous, yet different!!
It's amazing to me to see how Tom changes from himself to Charlie with his voice and facial expressions in an incredibly seamless manner. He is SO TALENTED! HE should have gotten an Oscar for Bronson!!❤❤❤
That’s some great advice, and it’s a really deep idea that you see in religious teachings the world over. In Christianity where God says “if your hand causes you to sin cut it off,” or in the Buddhist idea of detachment. It’s letting go of parts of yourself that keep you from growing, dead wood to be burned.
How can you not love Tom Hardy, he's just seems so nice, laid back and funny. The kind of fella you'd love to have a drink with and just talk to. I love how everytime he speaks his accent sounds slightly different, but he's still got that rough gravelly undertone in it, rawwwwr! :) He could keep me awake talking to me all night!
This was fantastic lol. I love how when Tom's telling what Charlie said, he adapts the Bronson-voice he used in the film. This actually made me laugh... Tom's brilliant.
Look at how talented this man is..how easily he breaks in and out of character when he is relaying Charlie Bronson's telephone conversation to the interviewer....Tom Hardy one second; Charlie Bronson the next and he doesn't even have to even think about it....he is brilliant....brilliant!.
All my best reflection upon my own life was accomplished when I lived completely alone and away from any form of communication with those I knew. That being said, I am truly blown away by how insightful Charles Bronson was, despite the situation he was in. Absolutely brilliant.
Tom Hardy has rapidly become one of my few favorite actors. Didn't know who he was until Dark Knight Rises, then I checked into some of his work and was completely blown away by how good of an actor he truly is. He is awesome!!!
Tom is such an amazing human being. I am comfortable enough as a straight man to say he is one of the most handsome men to ever live! I love all of his work, I have seen every film he has made.
side note... does anyone notice how sweet Tom sounds when he said "Charlie"... it sounds more like he's greeting his granpa Charlie instead of a convict... but i totally love this interview
i saw this movie last night. very weird, but so weird that it was awesome. it was my first time seeing tom hardy, and it was probably the best performance of any actor i've seen in a long time. highly recommend this movie for anyone who gets an opportunity to see it.
Charles Bronson's analogy of a trapped child chopping a leg off to survive in order to describe letting go of something precious so you can grow occurs to me on a near weekly basis.
Aww...I love this interview. Tom seems like such a genuine funny guy...I love how he talks to Charlie about his break up with his girlfriend (of all things!) "what I’m trying to say son…" "yea?" "sometime you got to cut a little pieces of yourself off no matter how much it hurt--in order to grow, in order to move on."
Bronson was such an amazing british movie ! :) Tom Hardy nailed the role so amazingly and i loved his other performances in Warrior and Bane in The Dark Knight Rises :)
he's awesome in the Virgin Queen too... I love how he puts so much emotion into whatever he does whether it be a film or an advert. Tom Hardy Rocks! Plus he's seriously hot *drools*
Imagine living in a World where Charlie Bronson is chasing after you on the phone and when you finally answer is call, he doesn't lambast you. Instead he you listens and gives you a piece of amazing life advice.
Such a wonderful movie. Tom is fantastic and I loved how deep it seems but the answer is so simple, when they asked Charlie the first time he took a hostage. What do you want. He was confused almost and just responded what do you have to offer. Treat him like a human being and get a human being out of him in return. Treat him like a caged animal and that's what you'll get. The man just wants to be in a very basic and understandable way. He truly has an unbreakable will. 30 years of solitary is torture. It's inhumane and they expected him to break but he is who he is. Unbreakable. Wonderful movie 5*
tom is fasinating to watch,hes got a nice voice,charismatic ,i think he will go far in films,one to watch defo.plus he was brilliant in bronson,great acting
Wow that comment at the end about cutting a piece of yourself off in order to grow was pretty deep, I just watched the movie the other day and it was pretty damn good.

@@winnie965 You are lying to me and I do not appreciate that. My sunny is my first love,NOT MY LOVER. Going to BLOCK YOU for TRYING TO GET ME.
fairybits WHOA CHILL! All I was saying that I was going through something similar and that the comment helped me! That wasn’t an insult, it was a compliment?!
Fairybits. Your a freak
I was actually shocked at how much I enjoyed this film.
Right?? It's just a good time!
Tom is fucking amazing.Its a weired but interesting movie.
I was not. I RAN to go see this movie. 😁
The line about cutting a piece of yourself off to grow is interestingly a line in 'Legend'. Maybe Tom Hardy put it in as a reference to Charlie
I think Bronson was friends or incarcerated with the krays at one point.... I noticed too !
+babybangstfu He was, he was in prison with Reggie Kray, who said meeting him was the most frightening prison experience he ever had.
+Dale Why Absolutely I just wrote the same ! :) Btw Charlie and Ronnie Kray were both in Broadmoor hospital
+Dale Why I think he did too
Dale Why I was surprised as well when he said that line! haha
Almost 7 years later and the dude's one of the best actors working today, nominated for an Academy Award. He's come a long way since then.
This film started his Hollywood career, a top agency picked him up on the back of the performance.
true
This comment aged well🤌🏻
7yr later...
"Therapy 101 with Charlie Bronson"- the best reality show that would ever be on television
THIS

best relationship advice ive heard and its from a nutter
Adam Vee lmfao
Is he a nutter or the most enlightened man ever
maybe society is nuts not charlie.
There is a thin line between insanity and pure genius
Sensational comment 😂😂
The most honest, revealing, hilarious and strangely poignant interview with a celebrity actor ever done. Hands down. Thanks Tom. And Charlie.
I thought the same thing. So refreshingly real.
I could not agree more.

How you been doing lately?
Im glad he put this line in Legend.
This is literally the best interview I've ever watched. And I could listen to his voice all day.
The film was an absolute masterpiece. The way Tom explains his interactions with Bronson shows how he managed to play his role so well.
Bronson vs Bane. That'd be a fight I'd pay to see.
mustangblack05 seriously? Bane would fucking wreck Bronson with both hands behind his back
mustangblack05, Bane would pick Bronson up, and break his back.
mustangblack05 Tom Hardy in Warrior vs Bane
PotatoExpress bane, much stronger and much more skilled
BaldManLogan No banes slow af and Warrior Tom hardy would go crazy on him and drop him
Tom Hardy is a fucking brilliant actor, and so undervalued too.
Tom is a gifted storyteller! Holy moly i got so into this story I’m actually sad it ended
Wow. I really needed this.
He is such a great actor. & just the coolest guy ever.
This conversation got me through a lot of stuff!!! got me thinking... a lot!! Because , "Sometimes you've got to cut a piece of yourself off no matter how much it hurts, in order... to grow!!!" so easy to say, so hard to do and even eternally harder to feel!!!
Because let's not lie: feeling, mind and heart work separately but together!! Unanimous, yet different!!
Just rewatched this after the Bronson doc on C4. Tom Hardy's impression of him in this clip is just glorious..
Love how he was able to play both roles in this interview as well. Tom and Charlie 😂
And alfie solomon lucky boro fc liveforever by order of the peaky blinders 🎉
I find myself coming back to this video for another time.
Thank you
Bronson is a true hardman
I've actually watched this clip about 30 times now, as it’s simply brilliant! True as well. So true.
Agreed 👍👍👍
Tom Hardy was amazing in Bronson - I love this clip about Tom sharing with Charlie
I love Tom Hardy. Not just EXTREMELY talented but also he strikes me as a really nice guy.
Agreed
It's amazing to me to see how Tom changes from himself to Charlie with his voice and facial expressions in an incredibly seamless manner. He is SO
TALENTED! HE should have gotten an Oscar for Bronson!!❤❤❤
Agreed
i just ditched my gf today. after 13 yrs this advice still holds strong. i re listened to this and said i love you goodbye.

The way he flips from Tom to Charlie…. Unreal, best of his generation
Now that's a good friend! No matter how off the hook he is, he knows how to help and support a friend!
"cut it off NOW!"
Absolutely unreal actor. Tom you deserve everything. You are fantastic actor ❤❤❤
Absolutely love this interview, i come back to watch again and again
Tom hardy is so so fit
How can you not love Tom Hardy, he's just seems so nice, laid back and funny. The kind of fella you'd love to have a drink with and just talk to.

I honestly used Charlie’s advice a few years back and life got better...!!! Thank you very much kind sir
Did you really just call Charles Bronson "kind sir"
J- L JL nothing wrong with being polite x
I might be a 55 year old woman from NZ but I will take that quote forever in my wee life ❤
This was fantastic lol. I love how when Tom's telling what Charlie said, he adapts the Bronson-voice he used in the film. This actually made me laugh... Tom's brilliant.
I cannot stop watching this. I f****ng love his ability to be both people at once. The voice of course is lovely.
Look at how talented this man is..how easily he breaks in and out of character when he is relaying Charlie Bronson's telephone conversation to the interviewer....Tom Hardy one second; Charlie Bronson the next and he doesn't even have to even think about it....he is brilliant....brilliant!.
Such a quality film! Hardy was brilliant in it.

This man's ability to tell a story is immense.
Anyone find this when they need to hear it? God bless Charlie bronson 💪
i could listen to him talking for hours!
Natural story teller. Brilliant.
Tom is such an amazing human being. I am comfortable enough as a straight man to say he is one of the most handsome men to ever live! I love all of his work, I have seen every film he has made.
Favourite interview of all time
u obviously dont kno who charlie bronson is
of course I do? thats why I love it
“Cut it awfff noweh” the way Hardy annunciates it with his jaw and teeth is why I revisit this video in 2024
2:25 the way he says "now" makes me ridiculously happy
side note... does anyone notice how sweet Tom sounds when he said "Charlie"... it sounds more like he's greeting his granpa Charlie instead of a convict...
but i totally love this interview
even during an interview you can tell he is a great actor
This is my fave all time.
I've seen this about a million times.
I love it and the advice.
Genius. Thank you for uploading and sharing. Alot of truth spoken .
This is one of the most underrated films ever
You have no idea how much I appreciate this video. Thank you for uploading.
mark F I’m a big fan too, keep coming back to it. Why does it mean so much to you ?
"sometimes you've gotta cut a little piece of yourself off, no matter how much it hurts, in order to grow, in order to move on." love that bit..
This guy. Nobody could have done it better but this guy what a legend....pun intended. Best actor around... and scott adkins
Tom Hardy has inspired me to become an actor :)
Bronson is so amazing and his other movies :)
its amazing to hear that bronson who has been inside for countlesd years speaks such wisdom about cutting something or someone off in order to.grow
This is the best thing I've seen in a long time.
I love that he does the Bronson parts in character..
i saw this movie last night. very weird, but so weird that it was awesome. it was my first time seeing tom hardy, and it was probably the best performance of any actor i've seen in a long time. highly recommend this movie for anyone who gets an opportunity to see it.
I don't know why but I had a huge fucking smile watching this

Once you hear it, it become a way of life I needed to hear this when I did
his performance was no words
Tom did a good job playing him ❤️
He is a quality actor I could watch an hour of That interview.
from start to finish, i was locked onto every word. great stuff
That relationship advice is incredible. Keep this in mind for the rest of your lives everyone

Words to live by. Mr. Hottie, gorgous AND humorous. More talents to come ...no doubt. Great (partial) video.
I love love this movie I've never laughed so much, amazing acting, so genuine the whole thing just rocks.
he and Michael Fassbender are to me the 2 most awesome recently
I can almost say this is my fav movie
best interview ive watched in my life
Aww...I love this interview. Tom seems like such a genuine funny guy...I love how he talks to Charlie about his break up with his girlfriend (of all things!)
"what I’m trying to say son…"
"yea?"
"sometime you got to cut a little pieces of yourself off no matter how much it hurt--in order to grow, in order to move on."
Just came out of a relationship and saw this. Thanks for the video
This just gets better and better now I’ve heard Charlie speak in interviews
Tommy is so gorgeous and I just love how he moves in out of character so smoothly.
Bronson was such an amazing british movie ! :) Tom Hardy nailed the role so amazingly and i loved his other performances in Warrior and Bane in The Dark Knight Rises :)
he's awesome in the Virgin Queen too... I love how he puts so much emotion into whatever he does whether it be a film or an advert. Tom Hardy Rocks! Plus he's seriously hot *drools*

Том прелесть. Том чудо. Талантище ❤❤❤
this guy is spell binding, i love watching him in the take, also in this film as well. he should be on the big screen
He will be
Such a wonderful movie. Tom is fantastic and I loved how deep it seems but the answer is so simple, when they asked Charlie the first time he took a hostage. What do you want. He was confused almost and just responded what do you have to offer. Treat him like a human being and get a human being out of him in return. Treat him like a caged animal and that's what you'll get.

Unbreakable. Wonderful movie 5*
The interactive transcript had me in tears.
Tom Hardy always looks about 19 in his interviews
Has to be the best story I have every heard
Wow, this guy is compelling. I was watching this whole video with my mouth open and didnt even take single breath :D
Why do I love this video so much
tom is fasinating to watch,hes got a nice voice,charismatic ,i think he will go far in films,one to watch defo.plus he was brilliant in bronson,great acting
"What's going on outside your window"
Lmao.
I have to admit it, I needed good advice like this right now
Excellent Movie!!! I've watched it numerous times already & Tom did one helluva job. Good on ya Mate!!
Suten Ta Hotepu wat you liked about it
When he says "Fucking hell Tommy" in Bronson's voice...all I hear is Alfie Solomon.
Best relationship advice ever given !
Wow that comment at the end about cutting a piece of yourself off in order to grow was pretty deep, I just watched the movie the other day and it was pretty damn good.
Great clip, love the story
