Tom Hardy transforms into Al Capone in new trailer for biopic.
In the trailer, the British actor, 42, was almost unrecognizable as the aging and sickly crime boss under layers of heavy makeup and hair effects. The film also features Matt Dillon, Kyle McLachlan and Linda Cardellini.
Capone ruled the Chicago mob during the Prohibition era before he was prosecuted for tax evasion and imprisoned in 1932. During his time at Alcatraz, Capone became ill from an old syphilis condition, Time magazine reported.
Once he was released in 1939, Capone led a quiet life in Florida until his death at age 48 from cardiac arrest.
“Capone,” which was previously titled “Fonzo,” aims to shed light on the “untold story” of Capone’s last years, People magazine shared.
