Tom Hardy // … lost there

The beard is for Mad Max. It is gross. But, um, it’s for Mad Max. That’s … badass. I don’t know how else to say it. You know what else is kind of badass? Ok, no, like totally badass? It’s the way people talk about Tom Hardy. There’s a reason Warner Bros gave him a first look deal. It’s the same reason Shia LaBeouf talks about him with a hard-on. And Gary Oldman too. And Christopher Nolan.  When I asked Guy Pearce about Hardy he was almost evangelical. Some crazy journalist compared him to Marlon Brando in Cannes. And there are many others, not dumb enough to say it out loud, who truly believe that Tom Hardy is one of the few who can have that kind of career. Who you will remember like Nicholson.
