Why We Love Tom Hardy

By Sharon Knolle

Posted Sep 8th 2011 1:00PM

Why do we love Tom Hardy? Those lips! Those tats! The extremely wild past! Let us count the ways he’s like the male Angelina Jolie… only better. Sure, you might have fallen for him as Handsome Bob in ’RockNRolla’ (or maybe your crush goes all the way back to his small part in ‘Band of Brothers’), but for most of us, the moment that clinched our Tom Hardy love involved a grenade launcher and the word “darling.” From 'Inception’ on, we’ve had a mad crush on the Englishman. If he’s in a movie, we’re going to see it – and, darling, he’s got an epic slate coming up, most notably this weekend’s 'Warrior’ and as the villain Bane in ’The Dark Knight Rises.’ Ahead, 15 reasons to love Tom Hardy. 1. He’s a Chameleon (Eat Your Hearts Out, Robert De Niro and Christian Bale) In 'Inception,’ he played a “forger,” able to turn into anyone he wanted, man or woman. It was the perfect role for an actor who’s been able to transform himself completely from role to role: He put on 35 pounds of muscle for his breakout role in ’Bronson,’ then slimmed down again for 'Inception.’ For 'Warrior,’ he underwent a punishing fitness regimen, learning boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing and jujitsu, and then got even bigger and scarier to play the imposing Bane. 2. Even Christian Bale Is Impressed “He’s a real fascinating actor,” Bale recently told Screenrush of working with Hardy on 'The Dark Knight Rises.’ “He’s going to be creating some wonderful characters over his career, and he’s doing so with this. He’s the real deal. I’m very impressed with him.” And Michael Caine, who’s cracked a few heads in his days on the big screen, called him “the toughest guy in British movies.” 3. He Does His Own Stunts In one of his early roles in Ridley Scott’s 'Black Hawk Down,’ he persuaded Scott to let him do his own stunts, including setting himself on fire. While making 'Warrior,’ Hardy broke his toe, his ribs and tore the ligament in his right hand. Ouch! 4. He’s a Reformed Bad Boy As a teen model (go Google pics of baby-faced Tom, right now!) he led a wild life, including the now-famous story of his missing a Hollywood meeting with John Woo and instead waking up in downtown L.A., naked, next to some guy, a cat and a gun with the safety off (story here). Those wild days are behind him now, though; he beat an addiction to crack-cocaine and has been sober since 2003. 5. He’s Not Afraid of Hard Work Hardy nearly blew his entire career thanks to those early addictions, so now when he reports to work, he gives the director his all. “There comes a point where if you want to participate at a certain level in anything, you cannot just turn up and be respected,” he told Men’s Health U.K. “A lot of the people who I think are brilliant – and who I want to be more like – work their f*cking arses off, constantly.” 6. He Makes Us Laugh Especially when he’s laughing. Check out this interview where he can’t stop cracking up. Adorkable!

7. He’s Totally Secure in His Sexuality How refreshing to hear an actor who doesn’t care what people think of him. While promoting his role as the gay gangster Handsome Bob in 'RocknRolla,’ Hardy admitted to experimenting with men in his youth. “I’m an actor for f*ck’s sake,” he said. If only everyone else could man up so nonchalantly. 8. He’s One of England’s Finest Novelists His books include the classics 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles’ and 'Jude the Obscure.’ Oh wait, that’s Thomas Hardy. Still, we’re glad he goes by “Tom” and not “Ed Hardy” (his given name is Edward Thomas Hardy). 9. Underneath the Tough Exterior, We Know There’s a Sweetheart As his 'Warrior’ director Gavin O'Connor told GQ, “Tom Hardy … has this quality where there could be this very hard exterior, but there’s also a very fragile little boy in there … I needed an actor who can, when you look at him, know there’s a vulnerability there that you can empathize with.” 10. He Loves Buying Women’s Shoes As he told Esquire, he just loves to shop. (He really is secure in his sexuality). Another reason he’d make the perfect boyfriend. Alas, he’s taken, ladies. He’s engaged to Charlotte Riley, his co-star in 'Wuthering Heights.’ 11. He’s Super GQ Could the man be more dapper? The entire cast of 'Inception’ wore some very stylish threads, but Hardy’s Eames put them all to shame. The man could have worn an ascot and still been more manly than his co-stars. And his red carpet sartorial choices? A-plus. 12. He Does Charity Work In 2010, he was appointed an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust, a U.K. charity that helps disadvantaged people aged 14 to 30 with training and education. “It’s so important to me that they get the life-changing second chance that I had,” Hardy has said. Hear, hear.

13. He’s Super-Generous Photographers in Vancouver caught Hardy giving an autograph and $5 to a homeless man in downtime from shooting the romantic comedy 'This Means War.’ 14. He’s a Proud Father The story behind some of Tom’s tats? There’s a star he had done when he found out his then-girlfriend, Rachael Speed, was pregnant with son Louis (now 2-and-a-half); he added the phrases “figlio mio bellisimo” (“my beautiful son”) and “padre fiero” (“proud father”). And in a tattoo that gets prominent play in 'Warrior,’ his left arm features ink of the Madonna (the Biblical figure, not the pop star) cradling Louis. Awww! Hardy told a U.K. paper that this was also to mark his own rebirth.

15. He Made One of Our Favorite Movies Even Better Eames schooling colleague Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) by telling him, “You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling,” before whipping out a grenade launcher is more than just a great “Say hello to my little friend” movie moment. That one line encapsulates everything we love about Hardy: the cheeky bravado, delivered with charm and style to burn. And did we mention he improvised the “darling?”

Five Reasons Why Tom Hardy Is the Next Big Thing

By Laura Prudom

Posted Sep 6th 2010 4:15PM

If you were one of the several million people who spent your hard-earned cash watching ‘Inception’ this summer, chances are you may have noticed a certain dapper British gentleman spouting such iconic lines as, “You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling,” and pretty much stealing the show from many of his more established co-stars. That gentleman, fair reader, is Tom Hardy, and if you weren’t familiar with him before this summer, you’d better get comfortable with that unforgettable face, because you’re going to be seeing a whole lot more of it in the coming year. And while 'Inception’ is likely the first memorable taste of Hardy for U.S. moviegoers, the versatile actor has steadily been working his way up the ranks in his native Britain for the past 10 years, and is widely considered to be one of the U.K.’s fastest rising stars. Join us after the jump as we consider five reasons why Tom Hardy is Hollywood’s Next Big Thing. (It’s not just because he’s ridiculously attractive, we promise!) If you were one of the several million people who spent your hard-earned cash watching 'Inception’ this summer, chances are you may have noticed a certain dapper British gentleman spouting such iconic lines as, “You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling,” and pretty much stealing the show from many of his more established co-stars. That gentleman, fair reader, is Tom Hardy, and if you weren’t familiar with him before this summer, you’d better get comfortable with that unforgettable face, because you’re going to be seeing a whole lot more of it in the coming year. And while 'Inception’ is likely the first memorable taste of Hardy for U.S. moviegoers, the versatile actor has steadily been working his way up the ranks in his native Britain for the past 10 years, and is widely considered to be one of the U.K.’s fastest rising stars. So who is Tom Hardy, you may ask? Allow us to enlighten you: The 32-year-old hails from East Sheen, a middle-class suburb of London, where he was born to an artist mother and a father who writes comedies and commercials. In his formative years, Hardy was expelled from his posh boarding school for stealing, then arrested at the tender age of 15 for taking a joyride in a stolen Mercedes, and now speaks openly of his past battles with alcoholism and drug addiction. He’s been sober for about seven years, and though his past exploits make Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton sound like nuns in comparison, his tumultuous history has in no way impaired his undeniable talent on-screen – if anything, that life experience only seems to have honed Hardy’s skill. He takes roles that others would shy away from, characters who range from pathetic or unsympathetic to downright sociopathic, thieves and vagabonds and addicts alike. He’s drawn comparisons to Ewan McGregor, a similarly eclectic British star, but to me, Hardy seems far more reminiscent of another iconic character actor known specifically for playing against type: Johnny Depp. High praise, indeed, but we believe that it’s well-earned. Similarly blessed with striking looks, Depp learned early in his career that the best way to avoid being pigeonholed as just another pretty-boy actor was to take roles where he could transform himself entirely, until his features would be the last thing on an audience’s collective mind. Hardy seems to have taken that example to heart; 'Inception’ director Christopher Nolan was full of effusive praise for the performer, noting that, “Tom Hardy is an actor who can absolutely jump into the skin of a character and inhabit a role.” We’re inclined to agree – anyone familiar with Hardy’s diverse resume would be hard-pressed to say that the Brit is nothing more than a pretty face, which brings us to the first reason we think he’ll be the Next Big Thing … 1. He’ll do anything for a role Sure, we’d all like to shed a few pounds now and then, but Hardy makes transforming his body into an art form. In 2007, Hardy was cast as Stuart Shorter, a homeless, alcoholic heroin addict with muscular dystrophy in the heartbreaking BBC/HBO TV adaptation of 'Stuart: A Life Backwards,’ and his hunched, emaciated frame could certainly give Christian Bale’s 'Machinist’ makeover a run for its money. Then, in 2009, Hardy gained 35 pounds to portray the legendary criminal Charles Bronson, dubbed Britain’s most violent prison inmate, in the indie film 'Bronson’. Bald and sporting a mustache that would make Tom Selleck jealous, Hardy was practically unrecognizable in the part, effortlessly switching between moments of theatrical levity to foaming, unprovoked violence at the drop of a hat.

2 He’s not afraid to play the villain When actors are first attempting to establish themselves, they often seem wary of playing too many unsympathetic roles for fear of typecasting. Most men want to be seen as the stoic John Wayne or the dashing Han Solo type, but Hardy went to the other end of the spectrum entirely. One of his earliest parts saw him take on the crew of the legendary Starship Enterprise as the evil clone of Captain Picard in 'Star Trek: Nemesis,’ and Hardy followed that up with downright nasty characters such as Bill Sikes in 'Oliver Twist’ and a homicidal London gangster in 'The Take’. While building his career on the other side of the pond, it seemed that Hardy was going out of his way to play the characters you’d love to hate; even when starring in a love story, he was drawn towards one of the most belligerent romantic antiheroes in literary history – the tormented Heathcliff in 'Wuthering Heights’. Jack Dawson, he ain’t. It’s a testament to his skill, then, that no matter how abhorrent his character’s actions may be, Hardy always manages to imbue his roles with genuine pathos and a surprising amount of humanity, even when he’s smashing someone’s face into a wall. 3. He’s an actor’s actor Hardy trained at he Drama Centre in London, an acting school that has gained notoriety for being tougher on its students than many other establishments (Hardy was expelled from there, too, for being “a little sh*t”, as he’s said in previous interviews). His mentor, Christopher Fettes, also trained Anthony Hopkins, and was allegedly the inspiration for Hopkins’ portrayal of Hannibal Lecter – we’re not surprised that the school is so feared and revered in acting circles. In an early interview with IGN, Hardy described the Centre’s methods of teaching (and terrifying) students by forcing them to examine themselves very honestly, a form of method acting that has undoubtedly given Hardy great self-awareness when it comes to tackling roles. Hardy often seems drawn to damaged characters who wrestle with similar issues of self-esteem and addiction that he has faced in his own life, which enables him to add a believable layer of subtext to every performance. Add to that the actor’s prolific theater work and genuine passion for his craft, and it’s clear that Hardy isn’t searching for stardom so much as the for opportunity to continue playing challenging roles, just for the joy of it. 4. Hollywood sees it too While audiences are just starting to sit up and take notice of Hardy post-'Inception,’ Hollywood has had its eye on the actor since 'Bronson,’ and Hardy had a number of high-profile roles lined up before the Christopher Nolan blockbuster even bowed. Early next year, he will appear in 'Warrior’ – another stunning physical metamorphosis that saw him gain 28 pounds of muscle to portray an ex-Marine turned cage-fighter to escape a debt. He’s also set to star in a reboot of the 'Mad Max’ franchise, since it’s safe to say that Mel Gibson won’t be headlining many blockbusters any time soon. The film is being helmed by the original’s director, George Miller, and Hardy’s first leading action role promises to launch the actor’s career into the stratosphere. And if Hardy wasn’t busy enough, he’s also landed a part in a rom-com (we know!) opposite Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon, called 'This Means War,’ and will reportedly replace Michael Fassbender in the adaptation of the spy novel 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’ alongside Gary Oldman. (Edited to add: on Oct. 13, it was announced that Hardy will also play a “lead role” in 'Inception’ director Christopher Nolan’s upcoming 'Batman 3’ – thereby cementing his soon-to-be superstar status). See what we mean about getting comfortable with that pretty face? And speaking of that pretty face … 5. He really is ridiculously good looking Allow us to be shallow for just a moment – we know that there were a lot of lust-worthy guys in 'Inception,’ but something about Hardy’s roguish, James Bond-esque vagabond Eames stole our attention far more deftly than Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Cillian Murphy combined; we just love an accent and a suave attitude. Perhaps it was because Hardy seemed to be the only one truly having fun in Nolan’s outlandish heist flick, but watching him instruct Gordon-Levitt on the finer points of handling a gun made us distinctly weak in the knees. And wait until you see how buff he is in 'Warrior’ … Have we convinced you, 'fone fans? For those familiar with Hardy’s filmography, do you think he deserves the praise we’re heaping on him? And for those who aren’t – we recommend you add 'Bronson,’ 'Stuart: A Life Backwards’ and 'RocknRolla’ to your Netflix queue, just to get an idea of how versatile this talented thespian truly is. We have a feeling that Hardy won’t be the next big thing for long; he’s coming soon to an Oscar ceremony near you.
