Tom Hardin's Biography

Tom Hardy - English actorFamed and appreciated for being a very responsible in preparation for the role. This attractive and charismatic man is also an award winner "Oscar.". Also, the film star is proud of his perfectly played negative roles, one of which led him to a nomination for a previous award. Let's take a closer look at the life story of such an interesting actor as Tom Hardy.

Childhood, adolescent years and adulthood

Everyone probably knows that Thomas Hardy was born in mid-September 1977 in London. The family of the future film star was intelligent and creative - his mother and father were both artists. The boy was the only and favourite child in the family. His parents constantly spoilt Thomas, buying him expensive gifts for every holiday and allowing almost everything that can be afforded to a child. However, very often you can face the fact that a spoilt child, besides the only one, brought up and raised in a wonderful family becomes capricious and harmful. A similar thing happened in the family of Thomas Hardy. The boy grew up, each year becoming more and more naughty and disobedient, shocking his parents and teachers.

At school, the boy began to socialise with representatives of different classes and strata of the population. Children from disadvantaged families also fell into his social circle, and his friendship with them led him to various addictions. So, at the age of twelve, the child began to try alcohol and, worst of all, drugs. After studying like this for some time, Thomas Hardy, having reached the age of fifteen, was expelled from school for indecent behaviour.

Later, the teenager went through a certain "black streak", during which he often got into trouble with the law. One of such problems was the situation of bringing Thomas to the police for stealing someone else's car. Later Hardy will tell that he had to steal the car not for the purpose of making a profit by selling it, but to satisfy his need - another dose of narcotic substance.

By the way, no matter how paradoxical it may sound, the future actor, even being under the influence of harmful and dangerous habits, regularly attended the theatre school. It is useful to know that at the age of twenty-one, the young man will win the contest, the gift of which is a contract with one of the modelling agencies. After such luck, the life of the future famous film star was gradually filled with new and interesting events, about which you will learn further.

Thomas' first steps to fame, his blossoming as an actor on screen, and the achievements and awards he received

After winning on one of the British TV shows discussed above, a succession of roles in films and programmes followed in the life of an aspiring actor. Although these roles were small, mostly episodic, Thomas Hardy was happy. But despite all the pleasant events taking place in his life, the film star did not stop using drugs. In one of the interviews Tom will say that these substances were for him a mood-enhancing pill, well, so at least it seemed to him at the time. Naturally, it was all just an illusion. Having realised this fact, Hardy will decide to go to a rehabilitation centre for treatment.

Completely healed from the addiction, in 2001, the actor makes a film called "Black Hawk Down", which received both high marks from film critics, and rebukes and negative opinion of military chiefs. Two years later, Tom starred in the film "In Arabia, we would all be kings", for which he finally receives high marks not only critics, but also the audience. In 2009, the film star managed to flash in the film "Stewart:reverse direction", in which he played a man with his psychological tendencies and problems.

In the same year, the actor had to gain about 20 kilograms to get a role in the film "Bronson", in which Thomas played a heavyweight with fighting abilities. And he certainly succeeded. The next project was the role for which Tom Hardy had to lose weight. The man managed to do this only thanks to daily visits to the gym and fight circles for boxing and other sports.

In 2010, the actor managed to play side by side and on the same platform with the famous, already quite famous Hollywood film star Leonardo DiCaprio in the film "Inception". And in 2015, the actors met again in the film "Survivor", where Tom played the role of a negative character who left a comrade in distress. It was thanks to this, brilliantly played role, Hardy received an Oscar award.

What's more interesting: the personal life of a British film star.

The personal life of the actor, even by his personal admission, for some time was particularly turbulent. Thomas Hardy had relationships with many girls and women in his youth, without fear of judgement from the press. However, while studying at the theatre school in London, Tom meets Sarah Ward - a famous actress to this day, with whom he soon legitimises a relationship. However, having existed for about four years, this relationship broke up, as Sarah found out about her husband's drug addiction. The actress was tired of the constant and sometimes not very successful struggle of Thomas with his addictions. On this ground there were quarrels and scandals, which one day ended in a breakup.

New lover Rachel Speed gave birth to Thomas's child, but this relationship soon ended. But in 2009, the actor meets actress and colleague on the set Charlotte Riley, with whom he soon becomes romantically involved. Five years later, the lovers married and very soon Charlotte gave birth to a son. Meanwhile, recently appearing on the carpet, Riley, walking under the arm of her husband, was seen in a loose garment on the basis of which the press and suggested the second pregnancy of the star. However, Tom did not comment on this speculation.
