The voice he developed for Al Capone in Fonzo is based on Bugs Bunny’s to prove it, he plays me a clip of the raw footage on his phone. According to Esquirejournalist Eric Sullivan, " often begins by using personalities, both real and fictive, as lodestars toward which he guides his portrayal. In August 2018, Hardy revealed that Bugs Bunny inspired his Capone voice.
In a 22-second clip, Capone discusses moving to Chicago with only $40 in his pocket and also states that Prohibition was "unjust." There's a raspy tone to Capone's voice, which aligns with Hardy's gruff tone in Josh Trank's 2020 film. But according to a July 2012 news story on Capone's niece, Deirdre Marie Capone, there is indeed a surviving recording. It's been widely reported that there are no available audio recordings of Capone's voice, so Hardy's Capone interpretation is seemingly based on speculation and first-hand stories.

As a mob boss, Capone was cruel and calculating and reportedly wasn't afraid to use some heavy profanity while intimidating his enemies. The infamous Chicago mobster was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, the child of immigrants from the southern part of Italy, so there's a regional specificity that's important to capture.Ĭapone doesn't focus on the subject's glory days in the late 1920s, but rather his final year of life in 1947. Tom Hardy uses a unique, growly voice in his portrayal of the title character in Josh Trank's Capone, but how accurate is it? In the past, Hardy used distinct voices in The Dark Knight Rises, Locke, and Bronson, but in his role as Al Capone, Hardy adopted a different vocal cadence.
