@91TopperHarley True to a extent, in Warrior and the Upcoming Batman, he got Big, went from his average 11-11.5 stone to 14-14.5 stone, if you focus on certain groups, and eat right, (i dont know about drugs) its possible to get that big in a short period of time aka 6-12 months.
Wow! I had no idea what his background was. But GODAMN Im happy to see Tom the way he is today. So cheerful and full of life. Especially the video of him rapping with his son. It would have been a terrible shame if we lost him. He is going tonshine bright as Bane!
for someone who is a hollywood superstar, to go on a show like gmtv which is nothing compered to what shows he could be on and have an apperance like that long hair, unshaven and a vest that is awsome could this guy be anymore grounded and awsome fuck he's cool
You can tell he previously had a drug addiction, he constantly look's paranoid, uncomfortable, insecure and turns his head down at every compliment he receives...especially on his Jonathan Ross interview. But admittedly a fucking brilliant actor and can fully understand why he is chosen for roles such as Bronson & Freddie (The Take)
@TheKenfig are we looking at the same guy?? 'cause this one is one is no way, shape, or form anywhere near ugly.....far from it.......but to each his own, i guess.
As if I could love the man any more than I already do...(sigh) he is perfection! LOVING the ponytail by the way, probably the only guy I can think of that can pull it off so sexy
he's from a middle class area in south london, and because in england the 'ghettos' are very close to nice areas unlike in the US where its away from it all together, it's easy to walk into another street and see a whole other world. people tend to talk in Jamaican Patois in ghetto areas of london. I myself find me slipping into this accent because i am from a black council estate in north west london even though I am a cockney naturally lol
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! He is best man on all planet ! Plzz i wissshhhh to have someone near his look and ooooh he s soo damn sexyy ! I adore you Tommy ! I love youUUUU!
If you only know him from Inception, man.. U should see RocknRolla.. Or Bronson..(pfff what a piece of work man damn) Or what about Martina Cole's The Take..You'll see intesity like no one ever showed you before.. Believe me.. He's gonna be such a monster star after The Dark Knight Rises.. Again.. Go Tom, Go. Have no love for haters man..!!
I went to college with him and he spoke like a proper rudeboy back then. A lot of kids did although we were all very middle class really. It was an expensive private college - you had to come from parents with a bit of cash even if everyone there had been expelled or rejected from all the other schools. Most lose that accent but I guess if u dont get an office job u r never actually forced to assimilate which is probobly true in Tom's case.
@CIarKent He got his first tattoo when he was 15, and has even gotten several more since this interview took place. He has said that he charts where he's been and where he's going with them and he says new tattoos indicate that he's working through something in his head. He's also said that make-up artists groan when they see them and have to cover them but there are several movies he's done where he has kept them.
@simmie69 Have you seen his interview with Jonathon Ross? He talks about how he picks up accents all the time. I think it's his thing: he talks like the people around him. Like a chameleon. That's my theory, anyway.
@hjulia76 interesting fact. I have studied dialects and the mind will actually assimilate or what ever the word is, different sounds tones and dialects when it is spoken around you. I do it as well and it's really helpfull as an actor so that when you do it the people who natural speak with an accent can correct you. It's really quite interesting
@hjulia76 erm... no. He can control how he talks. If you pick up how people talk that's one thing, but if you're an actor... especially if you're an actor, you know what accent you're putting on. He talks weird because that gets attention. That's my theory. He's a great actor though, and I'm looking forward to the new Batman film.
@simmie69 He's never claimed that he was from a working class family. He actually says he's from a posh part of South London in Ross's interview. The important thing is that he really WAS an alcoholic and he's experienced enough to help these kids, wealthy or not. I think he just speaks differently in front of different people. Everyone does that. He's even admitted that he does that.
This guy deserves a lot of credit for sobering up and helping others. And for being an outstanding actor.
@simmie69 he isnt playing a working class guy. CLEARLY hes a rich actor and everyone knows it. That being said, it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, everybody has their own issues. his was alcoholism & drug abuse. he was clearly just trying to relate to the kids, cause clearly hes been through shit himself soo, im pretty sure you cant classify him as some cocky, rich man trying to lecture kids. Yeah, so MAYBE, you shouldn't be so quick to judge, because it's not like actually know him .
@simmie69 Well spotted! I don't know whether he is trying to cultivate an 'image' of being working class. Whether he is embarrassed by his middle class public school roots? But it is bizarre. I assume he had a lot of help and support from well off parents along the way. As these seemingly rags to riches stories so often reveal with a bit of research, the background of many successful people is often privileged from birth.
@simmie69 I have discovered to my disappointment that many successful actors' parents were/are well connected within the entertainment industry or formerly actors themselves. From Marlon Brando (mother was actress) to Robert Downey Jr (father was a director) even to TV presenters like George Lamb or singers such as Lilly Allen who both have father's who are actors respectively.I am yet to find someone who truthfully had nothing, came from a working class background and made it for themselves...
@simmie69 He doesn't need to speak well spoken to be thoroughly middle class....he doesn't need to be lower class to understand the difficulties of alcoholism and drug addiction.
@simmie69 well its probably so that the kids will think that he is like them so then they will listen, if some posh "bloke" comes strolling in and starts telling them what to do there not going to bat and eye lid, but if he acts like them they will take more notice
This guy reminds me of Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) in so many ways...
He definitely could play him in a movie!
I've only known of this guy since I saw "Inception" on New Year's Eve (3 days ago) and I've had a rather difficult time finding a reasonable* explaination why HIS performance stuck out more than anyone else's in this film!
@cranegaroo I thought the same thing. He was the most enjoyable in the entire movie. It might be because of his accent or just his way of being, I have no idea.
@cranegaroo The big draw of the film Inception was Leonardo Dicaprio for me. I've been a fan of his for years. However, walking out of the theater I couldn't help but wonder about Tom Hardy. I was immediately attracted to him and wanted to find out more. I want to watch his other films now. His performance in Stuart A Life Backwards was amazing. I can't wait to see him as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises.
@hjulia76 Well a lot of videos have the subtitles correct, but there's something off about these. It's alright though. I can get my one friend to translate it to me. :) Thanks for your concern though.
@malt8291 It's alright. How would you have known over the internet? I'm just a big fan of Mr. Hardy. His work is inspiring. And he's a cutie. :) I just wanted to hear the interview it's okay though.
Is there a name for what he's saying from 00:27 to 00:40? I do it without thinking, id like to know how I can overcome it.
