I use to think Bane was so built and huge when I watched Dark Knight but he really wasn't
Interestingly enough, Tom Hardy admits himself that he had pencil arms
"If you really study the photographs [of Bane], I was really overweight, actually. I ate a lot and I wasn't much heavier than I am now, but I just ate more pizza. They shoot from low to make you look big," answered Hardy. "People would lift up the lids on their motorbike [helmets] and say 'I always thought you were bigger, mate'...I was just bald, slightly porky and with pencil arms.""
