Tom Hardy is a British film and theater actor, producer and screenwriter. Known to the viewer for his participation in Hollywood films.

He gained wide popularity after filming in the films "The Drunkest District in the World", "The Legend" and "The Survivor". Winner of BAFTA awards, "Georges", nominee for the "Oscar".

Tom Hardy was born in mid-September 1977 in Hammersmith, West London, the only child of Anne and Edward (Chips) Hardy's Catholic family. The sign of the zodiac is Virgo. The family soon moved to East Sheen, a cozy bohemian London district on the banks of the Thames, a favorite home for the creative elite, writers and artists. Tom's parents corresponded to the place of residence: Ann is a fashionable artist, Edward was a screenwriter, wrote commercials and comedies.

The boy grew up in a creative environment and already in his school years began to attend theater courses. Since Tom had no brothers and sisters, all the love and care of his parents went to him alone. The father and mother intended to give their son a good education, but in the case of Tom, everything was not easy - the teenager did not want to study. Already at the age of 13, young Hardy learned what alcohol is. A year later, I tried the effects of drugs on myself. For this reason and for bad behavior, he was expelled from the prestigious boarding school.

At the age of 15, Tom Hardy got his first tattoo. Subsequently, there will be many of them.

At the age of 19, the guy won a competition and signed a contract with a modeling agency, but he was soon kicked out of there. The reason is the same - drugs. For some time the young man studied at one of the theater schools in Richmond. The study ended ingloriously, like all previous attempts.

Once in the school of the London Drama Theater, where they taught according to the method of Konstantin Stanislavsky, Tom was imbued with art. Hardy spent three years under the guidance of talented teachers, who once taught Anthony Hopkins himself. But when the young man was invited to play Private John in the popular TV series "Brothers in Arms", the aspiring artist decided that it was time to quit with his studies.

He starred in this film about the Second World War, but Hardy's film did not bring success and popularity. But the military drama "The Fall of the Black Hawk", released in 2001, "spotted" the young artist. Participation in the film has become a landmark for the creative biography of the actor.

Soon Tom Hardy changes the genre and appears on the screen in the melodrama "Dots Above I" ". But the actor did not like the melodramatic direction, gradually he refuses roles in the series, switching to pictures of a militaristic nature. For filming in the next war film, he even moves to northern Africa.

The most notable film of this period was the science fiction film Enterprise. This is followed by even more successful work - the project with a budget of $ 60 million "Star Trek: Retribution." The picture is considered by some to be a kind of springboard in Hardy's career.

To work in the next tape, Tom Hardy came to his native England. He was invited to play the character in the thriller LD 50: Lethal Dose. The film was released in 2003. In it, the directors told the audience a dramatic story about the raids by a group of Greenpeace activists on a laboratory where experiments were carried out on animals.

It is noteworthy that in between filming, Hardy plays on the stage. In 2003, he even received a prestigious award for his work in the performances Arabia, We Will Be Kings and Blood. A year later, he also received the Laurence Olivier Prize.

Numerous fans of Hardy greeted with joy his appearance in the painting "Marie Antoinette". In this film, Tom fully revealed his acting talent, and the spectators enjoyed the image of the handsome man and his brilliant acting.

In 2007, the film "Stewart: Past Life" was released, where the main role, in addition to Tom Hardy, was played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Tom has repeatedly called this film his best work in cinema, after which he acts in films only for pleasure.

In late 2008, Hardy appeared in Guy Ritchie's comedy Rock and Roll. It is worth noting that Tom got a rather scandalous character: he played a criminal with a non-traditional sexual orientation. According to the plot of the picture, his hero falls in love with the leader of the gang, represented by Gerard Butler.

In 2009, the actor got a role in the biographical drama "Bronson" by Winding Refna. This is a story about the most dangerous criminal in England, who spent almost 40 years in a prison cell. For more similarity to the original, Tom Hardy even put on weight.

One of the films that we love not only in England, but also in Russia is Wuthering Heights. In it, Hardy played the main role. It was on the set of this picture that Tom met and became friends with Charlotte Riley, his future wife. After the next joint project - the mini-series "Prikup" - a romance broke out between them.

In 2012, the movie "The Drunkest District in the World" was announced. Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf got the leading roles in the film. Despite the fact that they played brothers, the actors could not find a common language. It is known that Hardy sometimes loves to swear in public and make a tough joke. But Shia, on the contrary, is more closed in nature.

According to the American, he was annoyed by Hardy's jokes and jokes, and once the usual verbal skirmish turned into a scuffle, from which Labeouf emerged victorious. Nevertheless, the result of the work received mostly positive reviews. Along with them, Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce starred in the film.

In the same year, the comedy action film Means War was released. Key characters went to Tom Hardy, Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine.

Hardy also appeared in the drama Warrior, the thriller Inception, the action movie Mad Max and the superhero action movie The Dark Knight Rises.

Tom Hardy has always been a tough guy, and more than once he had to gain additional muscle mass for filming in the next film. However, for the image of Bane, a villain with a difficult childhood, he had to go through an intensive training course, completing a training program. Tom managed to pump himself up to the state of a mountain: the actor gained 13 kg of clean muscles. His weight is 86 kg and his height is 175 cm.

In 2014, it became known that Hardy would join the cast of Peaky Blinders, starring Cillian Murphy. By the way, this is not the first collaboration between artists. They met on the sets of Inception and The Dark Knight.

"Peaky Blinders" is the story of the Shelby Brothers, a brutal gangster group that operated in Birmingham after the end of the First World War. The blades sewn into the visors became its mark. Hardy got the role of the leader of a London Jewish criminal group named Alfie Solomons. At the same time, his hero combines the darkest sides of the representative of the criminal world and at the same time - decency and humanity.

But Hardy's film "The Survivor" brings overwhelming success and worldwide popularity. In the film, he starred with the famous film actor Leonardo DiCaprio. The film is based on the true story of the mountainman Hugh Glass, in whose image Leo appeared.

We are talking about the events of the first half of the 19th century, when trappers hunt in the northwestern part of North America. A group of fur hunters finds themselves on the territory of the Indian tribe, where they enter into an armed conflict with the indigenous inhabitants of the land, as a result of which dozens of pioneers die. Soon, in a fight with a bear, Glass is seriously injured. Realizing that the fate of a skilled hunter is a foregone conclusion, the group decides to split into two parts. An exciting survival story of the protagonist begins.

Tom Hardy played in the film the evil and selfish John Fitzgerald, who is guided only by personal interests, and also contributes to the early death of Hugh Glass. Despite the circumstances, Glass manages to survive and take revenge on Fitzgerald.

This work can be called a kind of example of life, where hatred and revenge help a person survive even in a seemingly hopeless situation. At the same time, Hardy's character became the embodiment of a person from the modern world, in which moral qualities have long been forgotten, and the desire for a material component destroys the last remnants of humanity. The Briton clearly demonstrated this with his play, forcing the audience to think about the moral symbols of our time.

Tom Hardy also visited Russia. Once, as part of a project for the Discovery Channel, he arrived in Yakutia, where he decided to learn about the abnormal temperatures and the life of local residents in extreme conditions. Years later, some viewers will call this trip a kind of preparation for the filming of the film "The Survivor".

Indeed, the work on this picture was not easy for the film crew, the actors had to literally survive in harsh weather conditions. But difficulties only brought the group together. This is how Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy became friends while working on the film.

At the same time, a dispute took place between colleagues. DiCaprio said that his friend will certainly receive an Oscar nomination. In turn, Hardy was confident that this would not happen. As a result, Tom was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category for Fitzgerald. However, the award went to Mark Rylance for "Spy Bridge". One way or another, from now on, the actor dreamed of getting famous directors in their films.

But the Briton still kept his word, having stuffed a tattoo on his forearm with the text “Leo Knows All”. The condition of the dispute was that the phrase should be written as if by DiCaprio's hand, and his handwriting, according to Tom, is, well, very clumsy.

By the way, this is not the first such bet of the artist. Tom Hardy has the name of his agent Lindy King on his body. He promised to get such a tattoo if it "pushes" his way to Hollywood.

In 2017, the premiere of the dramatic mystical series Taboo took place. Here Tom Hardy got not only the main role. He was the screenwriter and executive producer of the film. His father Chips Hardy and Stephen Knight also participated in the creation of the picture.

The series was positively appreciated by film critics and warmly received by the audience, so they immediately started talking about extending it for at least two seasons.

In the same year, with Tom's participation, Christopher Nolan's war drama "Dunkirk" was released. The plot is based on the story of the evacuation of the English, French and Belgian units by sea, which were blocked by the German troops near the city of Dunkirk. The film was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Directing, and eventually took three of them.

Tom Hardy's personal life was turbulent for some time. As he himself claims, in this life you need to try everything. The actor himself admits that he started relationships with both women and men, but solely for the sake of experiment.

While studying in London, Hardy met with actress Sarah Ward. A bright three-week romance ended with a wedding, but Sarah left Tom after learning that he was in a rehabilitation center, where he was being treated for drug addiction.

For some time, the famous Briton met with TV presenter Linda Pak. When this relationship dried up, others began - with the actress Rachel Speed. Rachel gave birth to a son to Tom, but the couple never registered a relationship.

The press also reported that actress Emily Browning became Tom's new girlfriend, but they themselves did not confirm this. Previously, celebrities participated together in the filming of the film "Legend".

It is known that the actor has warm friendly relations with Noomi Rapace, a theater and film actress from Sweden. Colleagues starred together in the crime drama Obshchak.

But in 2009, on the set of Wuthering Heights, Tom met Charlotte Riley. According to the scenario, a romance breaks out between their heroes Heathcliff and Katie. The lovers were one, and as a result, the feeling overtook them in real life. Hardy proposed to Charlotte, and in 2014 she became his wife. The couple did not delay with children - in October 2015, a son was born.

The famous actor is known to love dogs. In 2015, Tom, along with his dog named Woodstock, whom he once picked up on the street, starred in a PETA ad campaign.

In March 2018, the actor posted on Instagram the first frame from the filming of the crime drama Fonzo. In the photo, Tom is captured in the image of the famous gangster Al Capone. It is known that this will be the life story of a powerful crime boss after his imprisonment. Presumably, the premiere of the film will take place in 2018, but the exact release date is still unknown.

But in October 2018, viewers will see Hardy's new work in the superhero film Venom. It is based on the Marvel comics about the character Eddie Brock. He will be played by a British actor.

There are rumors that Tom will be involved in a new project about the X-Men universe. The fact is that Hugh Jackman has repeatedly announced his intentions to finally say goodbye to the character (Rasomakha-Logan), whom he played for many years. And for the role of Logan, Hugh himself suggested Tom Hardy.

In July 2018, the actor appeared on the red carpet arm in arm with his wife. The journalists could not help but notice Charlotte's loose dress. It turned out that Hardy would soon become a father for the third time. Tom did not comment on this news in any way. The man does not like to advertise his personal life, and to this day the public has not had a chance to see either his eldest son or the youngest.
