However, even though there are multiple negative rolesTom Hardy manages to captivate the audience with his charisma. The actor has a unique ability to change the hero under himself so that the viewer forgets that this is all a film. Let's dig deeper and try to learn a little more about this incredible actor than we know now.

Childhood and teenage years

  • Edward Thomas Hardy was born in London on 15 September 1977.
  • His family was creative and nurturing: his mother was a painter and his father was a writer and screenwriter.
  • Tom was an only child. His parents paid a lot of attention to him, showered him with gifts and, perhaps because of this, he grew up a little spoilt.
  • Despite respectable and intelligent parents, Tom was a naughty child.
  • When the boy went to school, he began to socialise with representatives of different classes of society, including children from disadvantaged families.
  •  At the age of 12, Thomas started drinking alcohol and trying drugs.
  • He was expelled from school at 15 for appalling behaviour and an addiction to beer and drugs.
  • Hardy went on to have a string of trouble with the law. One of these was a police record for stealing a car, not for theft, but for the brief pleasure of another dose.
  • Thomas only managed to stay out of jail because of his father's connections.
  • However, despite this "turbulent" teenage life, the future actor since childhood was interested in theatre. And so, at the age of eighteen, Tom Hardy enters the theatre school from which he will later be excluded.
  • At the age of twenty-one, the young man won a TV show and won a contract with a modelling agency.

  • Then followed a succession of the first films and motion pictures, in which the actor got even a small, but the role. During that period in life, when Thomas was just beginning to strengthen and consolidate the career of an actor, Hardy did not stop using drugs.
  • However, after one unpleasant event, when the actor had too much to drink and woke up in a pool of blood, Thomas decided to quit and went to rehab for treatment.
  • After completing treatment, the film star never touched drugs again. The man managed to transfer this energy into his professional activity, which he did very well, as you have already noticed.

  • In the film "Bronson", released in 2008, the actor appeared before the public in a new look: Hardy grew a moustache and gained about 10 kilograms of weight. The film star played the role of a charismatic maniac.
  • The next project was the work "Warrior", to participate in which Thomas Hardy had to quickly get in shape and lose weight. The actor managed to do it thanks to daily sports and visits to the gym.

  • It is known that his first marriage was registered very quickly. After meeting his wife-producer was only three weeks. Married lovers in 1999, and divorced in 2004. Sarah Ward could not stand the constant problems with alcohol and drugs, so the idea of divorce belonged to her.
