Tom Hardy surprised attendees after turning up to a jiu-jitsu competition in the UK over the weekend, where he proceeded to win a gold medal.
Leatherland signed up for the fight after realising Hardy would be there, he told the Daily Mail.
The Venom actor faced Andy Leatherland, a 42-year-old sales manager and a jiu-jitsu blue belt (like Hardy), in the final round.
Event sponsor Sean Rosborough told the Daily Mail that organisers knew about Hardy’s participation ahead of time, but decided to keep it under wraps because they didn’t want “masses of people turning up [and] distracting him” from the competition.
