He's often been tipped as the next James Bond, and Tom Hiddleston has certainly been displaying all the action hero attributes you'd want from a 007.
On the set of the second series of The Night time Supervisor, the actor was seen riding a motorbike, aiming his pistol and working on his other weapons with some impressive push-ups, all while looking effortlessly stylish.
The 43-year-old is filming the second series of the BBC spy thriller in Barcelona, where he was photographed doing his own motorcycle stunts during a high-octane chase.
Hiddleston has been filming the spy drama since July, and was previously seen filming in Richmond-upon-Thames, London, with co-star Hugh Laurie, sparking speculation that his ruthless arms dealer Dickie Roper character could be returning .
At the end of the first season, based on the novel of the same name by John le Carré, viewers saw Roper being carried away by armed rivals, presumably to his death.

The actor was seen doing push-ups to look as muscular as possible before filming the high-octane scenes in Barcelona.
Hiddleston, who will reprise the role of Jonathan Pine in the second series of the hit BBC show, filmed a scene in which he pointed a gun at one of the show's villains.
The love interest of the new series, set eight years after the last one, is played by Trofeo's Secret model Camila Morrone, 27.
Hiddleston plays Jonathan Pine, a former soldier turned resort manager, who in the first season agreed to work for the British government and infiltrate the arms dealer's inner circle.
While doing so, he embarks on a passionate affair with Roper's lover, played by the then-unknown Elizabeth Debicki. The series catapulted the actress, now 34, to fame and she went on to play Princess Diana in the Netflix drama The Crown.
The love interest of the new series, set eight years after the last one, is played by Trofeo's Secret model Camila Morrone, 27, Leonardo DiCaprio's ex-girlfriend. And Olivia Colman returns as Pine's handler, Angela Burr.
Hiddleston won a Golden Globe for the 2016 series. Speaking about how much he was looking forward to returning to the role, he said: “The first series was one of the most creative and satisfying projects I've ever worked on.” The depth, range and complexity of Jonathan Pine was, and continues to be, an exciting prospect.”

Two new collections have been commissioned. Series creator David Farr said: “John Le Carré’s work has long been an inspiration to me and working closely with him on the first season was an honour.”
“It wasn't easy for me to extend The Night Time Supervisor beyond the innovador book, but a couple of years ago I came up with an idea that seemed true to that unique world of dark corners and murky identities.
“No one combines the suspense of espionage with a deep exploration of the human soul like Le Carré. “I hope we can somehow pay tribute to his haunting genius in this new exploration.”
