Tom Hardy will be playing an aging and sickly Al Capone in upcoming biopic film 'Capone.'
The first trailer shows the infamous gangster beset by dementia after almost a decade in prison. As he languishes in his lavish home, he is haunted by his violent past.
To be able to portray the role, Tom has been aged using prosthetics.
