Tom Hardy injures ankle on movie set

Los Angeles, June 22 (IANS) Actor Tom Hardy has injured his ankle while filming "Legend" - an upcoming movie about the infamous Kray twins.

Hardy is playing both brothers, Ronnie and Reggie Kray, the notorious gangsters who ran London's organised crime scene in the 1950s and 1960s.

The action star was recently admitted to a hospital after hurting his ankle while filming a fight scene for the crime thriller, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Tom went (fell) over pretty hard. He's a tough guy but you could tell he was in pain. They didn't take any chances and carted him off to hospital for an X-ray," a source was quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying.

Hardy has not taken any time off from filming, but his ankle is reportedly "giving him grief" during the long shoots in London.
