Tom Hardy is right up there with the crème de la crème of Hollywood.
It’s been rumoured that Tom Hardy might make an appearance in the upcoming “Star Wars: Episode VIII.” John Boyega, however, avoided commenting on whether this was true or not, so the story remains just that, a rumour. If the rumours turn out to be true, no one will mind, Tom Hardy is a welcome sight in any movie.
Although Hardy’s first role was in HBO’s “Band of Brothers” (2001), his breakout role was Eames in Christopher Nolan’s 2010 “Inception.” But it was his fantastic portrayal of Bane in “The Dark Knight Rises”, that cemented Hardy’s position among Hollywood’s elite. Tom Hardy does have a knack for portraying dark and dangerous characters, so much so that GQ speculated whether he was, in fact, a dangerous man.
“Is this the most dangerous movie star in the world? The question dogs the 37-year-old British actor—there’s the stark violence onscreen, his tortured intensity, the insinuation of madness and menace. But as Hardy’s highest-profile project—this month’s Mad Max: Fury Road—comes to theaters, he’s setting the record straight: He wants you to be scared of him.”
