When an Actor Fights for a Comeback - Tom Hardy's Career

[@gilmour6754]

Tom Hardy's one of my favorite actors, that guy's got skill.

Warrior is such an underrated movie and I can't imagine it would have been a fraction as good as it was without him.

[@andrwarrior]

Until I saw Bronson, I just assumed Tom was just another pretty boy phoned in supporting actor type. That movie floored me with its raw message and stylized look at a real man's struggle with anger and self-respect. The budget number really goes to showcase that if you put the right actor with the right amount of heart and soul into the right role, you don't need anything flashy to make a masterpiece. Bronson was an electric film despite the minimal set design thanks to creative camera work and a unique vision.

Not forgetting one of NWR’s best movies

"The Drop" was such a cool, gritty, realistic and massively underrated movie. I know the video is about Tom Hardy; but James Gandolfini- what a talent.

So true

...And I'm staring at the back of this geezer's head. Drilling him with my eyes. The whole time thinking "Give Ron Kray your sausage. Give Ron your fucking sausage."

This Actor gets better and better. He's one of the best. Thank you for this feature on Hardy

[@daminox]

Season 2 of Taboo when?! It's been 7 years and season 1 was just so good 😭 One of my favorite lines in all of cinema and television is when Tom Hardy's character confronts one of his enemies and instead of attacking or 'elminating' or even just berating the person he simply looks them in the eye and calmly says "I have a use for you." It's terrifying! (The implication is that Hardy's character will manipulate them into doing something that achieves a goal far greater and more sinister than simply getting rid of one enemy.)

[@jamesmendonca2900]

Tom Hardy is a fantastic actor that does not get enough credit. I can relate with his struggles. Watching your video makes me want to watch Stuart: A Life Backwards again.

[@karateparty100]

I'm so tired and I read that last sentence wrong, I thought you said Stuart Little 😭

[@jamesmendonca2900]

[@ElvisRose_]

Wuthering Heights is my favorite novel but even as I was reading it, I thought that no actor would ever be able to capture Heathcliff as he's written in the book but then I saw Tom Hardy play him and I couldn't believe how perfectly he captured & conveyed this classic literary anti-hero; he WAS Heathcliff. I've been following his career ever since.

[@Hairytelevision]

Legend was legitimately a masterclass in acting imo Loved it when I got to see it immediately

Not really everyone talks about how great Tom Hardy was in it. That movie basically put him on

[@JimmyxBonez]

No one says its underrated. It just wasn't promoted/advertised as big movie films.

[@alec187]

The scene in peaky blinders when Thomas confronts Alfie for betraying him is the greatest piece of acting I’ve ever seen

He plays my favorite "badass" characters because his characters are never that simple. He has a very rare skill of crafting violent characters who are credible and believable, but also compelling and quirky.

[@ms.ellenlevy5667]

Love taboo. I hope there will be another season. Hardy was so good as James Delaney .

[@salvadordollyparton666]

i've read it's supposedly in the works, but who knows... GREAT shows get canceled, and terrible ones go on for decades... especially now, seems like that's the objective, and people are definitely starting to be conditioned to even like them... or there's just so many people now connected, that even pure shit finds an audience. but people do seem to not be as picky or something... which would make sense, if all you get is crap, you don't know any better.

[@markymark2782]

Anybody notice every time critics love a film, its a box office flop, when they hate it, it mames huge numbers...

[@gandhichoron1365]

Meaning you can't trust numbers, people enjoy whatever they want and not give a frick about critics.

[@adryanmonk]

I also really loved him in Taboo. Great actor and always happy to see him!

[@s0dfish110]

I want a season 2! i heard it was being filmed but i'm not sure if it's true.

[@adryanmonk]

@ that would be awesome!!

[@bpmcmanson8701]

It was a great show, i honestly thought it was cancelled because of the use of the N word during the height of the BLM nonsense, it would be nice if they gave us another season.

[@adryanmonk]

@ that's silly. No show has ever been canceled because of that. Are you a white man?

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Tom Hardy is like Christian Bale because they're the "modern day versions of Gary Oldman. Both have expressed their influence and are chameleons.

[@alexandrebeaudry8377]

Do you knew how admiring he was of Gary Oldman? I think they come from the same neighborhood.

[@bodsaru]

You can easily add Cillian Murphy into that list also! What makes it even better is that all four-Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, and Gary Oldman-appeared in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy at different points, each embodying their roles with that same chameleonic quality you mentioned.

[@phillipbaker1950]

I would have thought Lawless would have been higher higher-ranked in his filmography. Its one of my favorite films and he plays the role perfectly.

[@kaptenbear1395]

Tom Hardy can do wacky, funny characters. But you can also see the real dark and broken characters like Tommy Conlon or James Delaney. And he plays the parts so damn well.

Tom Hardy in the Warrior caught my attention. Tom Hardy in Legend made me realize he is incredible.

Alfie, Solomon’s in my opinion is his best played character. I would watch A spin-off back story on that character if they ever do one. Peaky Blinders.

[@ripperdeath91]

in the last scene of the drop Tom Hardy do a micro smile, its barely visible but it was perfect. i rewatch that scene hundreds of time. it really show his level of acting

[@cinderluna]

Tom Hardy is one of those sneakily brilliant actors, who rlly just needs a proper, layered character to play in a good movie. This dude has oscar worthy levels of skill

[@WolverineXForce]

I'm still waiting for taboo season 2. It's one of the best series I've ever seen.

[@CuriousCrow-mp4cx]

Tom Hardy is my favourite actor. He's unique in that he just pulls you in, and his scene stealing? Yeah, you can't take your eyes off him because he commits. I really want to see another series of Taboo, again because it was executed brilliantly.

[@ShanePhoenix5558]

From the moment I first seen warrior (which ironically I seen after i recently got back from Iraq) I instantly admired Tom hardy. It was the first movie I seen him in and told myself I hope I see this guy in future films. I don’t know how to explain it I just connected with his character more than the actual main character in that movie. Ever since I been a huge fan and honestly he hasn’t let me down not once.

Bronson is a 5/5 movie. And solely because of Tom. Amazing performance, one of the best I´ve seen.

[@DerpRulesAll]

It was Kismet, Hardy and Christian Bale acting together. Both have similar approaches to 'becoming' their characters, including weight loss/gain, and _near_ Method Acting techniques on the part of Hardy (Bale is a full-on MA.)

[@Roman-tu3vh]

Kind of missing seeing him in moultiple movies in a year. The man singlhandedly making even movies like Venom enjoyable

[@PhukGoog]

He's awesome. But I'm massively disappointed in the absence of Taboo seasons 2 and 3. It wasn't just Hardy. The entire cast was amazing. And the sets. The costuming. The characters. One of the best things I've ever seen on TV.

I remember watching Bronson after downloading it from some site (this was before streaming reached Sweden) and thinking "this guy is actually a crazy good actor. Maybe I will see him in some other movies". Glad I was right about that :D

[@canopusstar5157]

I love the book ‘Tinker,Tailor, Soldier, Spy’ and am very critical of theatrical productions of it. Hardy was excellent at Ricki Tarr! It’s the first time I say him’ ‘Inception’ came later. I love the comic aspect of ‘Venom’.

[@Goit_Goit]

I worked with a bloke who went to school with Tom Hardy. He never got the impression he was going to be an actor at that age.

[@anarchisttutor7423]

It's a shame Warrior didn't profit. It was great. And the thought that there could be more MM movies but won't is tragic. Furiosa was also great--my favorite movie that I've seen in 2024 (movies made in ANY year that I've seen this year).

[@MatterMadeMoot]

Never knew about his rap career. That's really dope.

[@theman2618]

Where is "What Was the Hardest Film to Make?" Part 3? Also great work!

[@Locadel2003]

I think his prime and best years were early 2010s until 2016-17. Because then he did the Venom trilogy but they were just fun and cheesy movies not great performances or movies by his caliber like The revenant, Mad Max fury Road, Warrior, Inception, Dark Knight Rises or even Child 44. This year, 2024, he did The Bikeriders and was a decent movie with an interesting story but was more a showcase for Jodie Comer and Austin Butler in my opinion, Hardy was fine but wasn’t his best performance. Or even Venom 3 was fun but his last really solid performance is probably Dunkirk or The revenant and that is over 7 years ago

[@DerpRulesAll]

Hardy executive produced Venom 1, 2, and 3; all were smash hits. If I was an actor, I'd 'take it,' for sure.

[@FilmStack]

Yeah it’ll be cool to see what he does after Venom. Maybe another shot at a TV show. He’s still relatively young so he’s got a lot of his career left

[@johnjamesleahy4065]

Isn't he going to do a movie kind of like the raid or DREDD??!! I remember seeing a picture of tom with like a bulletproof vest on

[@FilmStack]

Yup! Havoc, by the director of The Raid. Hopefully it’s good! 🤞

[@doublep1980]

Yes, the movie is called "Havoc" directed by Gareth Evans, who make The Raid 1 & 2 and the equally awesome Gangs of London tv-series. The movie is apparently finished since 2023 but for some reason, hasn´t been released yet. Netflix has picked it up and according to the latest update by director Evans, it´s coming out in 2025, because they had to do some re-shoots. Tom Hardy himself talked about it briefly couple of years ago and said: " It´s a super violent action thriller, like The Raid..."

[@TheDeadlyTikka]

I had no idea the Bronson budget was that low. Great film

[@inky5168]

Tom is much like Gary Oldman (admittedly Tom's favourite). And like Oldman, Tom can seemingly and effectively turn his hand to any roll and accent. I noticed his character in The Revenant sounded and acted a lot like Sgt Barnes in Platoon, likely by design as it appears Tom is quite the student of film.

[@almosttogether1776]

Watching this Tom hardy has impacted my choice and judging movies and impacted the genre too, he really does command your attention, how many of the movies are dialogue light or need method acting but he does it in a way where he withdraws and goes into the mindset . Only he could make my sympathetic to Charlie B. Method acting has been screwed up by people like but not like jerad Leto and shia eg letto in suicide squad he has played roles that if a remake happens whoever plays it will not be accepted kindly by fans unless they are on point with bring everything since Bronson and batman and mad max and taboo which needs a session 2 btw I remember his big breakfast thing I was a teenager and seeing him in the three brothers movie with Shia's moonshine addiction sorry habit off set makes the looks and disapproval from tom seem more genuinely ( gosh this little dude needs to be put in in place ima goona just watch him fail to learn) how he has no respect for the life given to him even gets his bestie killed with arrogance and does not see how much his brother sacrificed because it was a voice over at the end due to Shia not being able to convey it on screen untill the end is sad I only watched it because of the acting of Tom it's a movie that I have watched more than once and one I would never have seen if not curiosity of Tom , the only thing I liked shia in was Constantine soo yeah lol
