Tom Hardy says he drew inspiration for his movie "Venom" from the Champ Champ -- saying the character he plays in the movie was hugely influenced by Conor McGregor.
Hardy plays Eddie Brock in the comic book flick -- a tough guy reporter who becomes Venom after merging with an alien life form.
Hardy says there were elements of Brock's character that felt very Conor-ish to him -- so, he ran with it.
"There was an aspect the studio wanted somebody who could fight, which they always do in these sort of hero movies." It's not the first time a major actor has used Conor for inspiration -- Charlie Hunnam said he drew from McGregor when he starred as 'King Arthur' in the 2017 flick.
