In a recent episode of the popular talk show “Alan Carr: Chatty Man,” actor Tom Hardy opened up about his rebellious upbringing. He was welcomed onto the show as the winner of the BAFTA Rising Star Award, an achievement voted on by the audience.
Hardy took the stage to a round of applause and expressed his gratitude for the award. He jokingly mentioned not wanting to cry like Gwyneth Paltrow or Halle Berry and thanked the audience for their support. He humbly acknowledged that the award was voted on by the audience, not by the prestigious BAFTA committee.
However, there was a slight mishap with his name at the award ceremony. His name was mistakenly announced as “Tom Brunch,” which caused some embarrassment. Hardy shared that his last name is actually based on someone from Essex and joked about his name being vajazzled on the back. He apologized for not attending the BAFTAs due to a prior commitment in Georgia for a film project.
The conversation then shifted to Hardy’s notable role in the film “Inception.” While he expressed his love for the film, he admitted not fully comprehending its complex plot. He humorously compared his confusion to someone spiking his butter cake. Hardy credited the director, Christopher Nolan, for guiding him through the film and freeing him from having to fully understand it.
He also discussed his upcoming role as the villain Bane in Nolan’s Batman film. Recognizing the campiness typically associated with Batman villains, Hardy assured the audience that Bane would be genuinely menacing. He mentioned the physical transformation he would undergo for the role, including gaining weight and bulking up.
The conversation delved into Hardy’s penchant for playing menacing characters on-screen. He attributed his ability to portray psychopathic characters to his own fears and vulnerabilities. He identified himself as a naturally fearful person, explaining that his job as an actor allows him to observe, reflect, and mimic various personalities and their respective darkness.
Hardy also touched on his rebellious teenage years. He shared that he once faced the possibility of a jail sentence but managed to turn his life around. The conversation then shifted to his personal life, including his fiancée, who is also an actress. The couple met on the set of a film and have been together ever since.
The episode ended with warm applause for Hardy’s recent achievements and his talent as an actor. Despite his success, he remained down to earth and appreciative of the support he has received.
