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.

[@jovana-che]

you must be rocket scientist to conclude that. Aren't you?

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.

[@jimswim2851]

Not forgetting one of NWR’s best movies

[@andrwarrior]

@@jimswim2851 had no idea he was the director, makes a lot of sense!

[@KidFresh71]

"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.

[@Thatswildpimp]

So true

[@rghujaisalmer3344]

Dude 😅 The legends is probably the ONLY movie where i felt as if the dual roles was actually a different guy 😅 No other double roles have every felt that way 😅 Truly a masterpiece 💪🏻

[@snarevox]

...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." Until, I'm not thinking it anymore; I'm broadcasting , through his skull and into his brain. 'Til he looks back at me and says "Ron, do you fancy my sausage? I've got no appetite this morning."

[@Magpie2301]

You forgot to mention THE TAKE where Tom is mesmerizing, as usual!!

[@BrandonPhipps-wd1ml]

😮😮😮

[@Kemarrin]

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

[@Ellecramfraiche]

Bronson is so underrated. Great film

[@Yupstate845]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.)

[@jakegetsreel4024]

I think Havoc is going to be awesome. Tom Hardy, Forest Whitaker, Timothy Olyphant, t scenes.and Luis Guzmann is a hell of a cast. Plus Gareth Evans directing and doing the figh

[@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!!

[@alec187]

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

[@abbsquishy193]

Tom Hardy is out here living his best life, & I ain't mad about it.

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.

[@billpomeroy7433]

really well done. thank you.

[@davidlittle5816]

He's certainly not the worst rapper to hit the mic, he's done a bit with Czarface recently thats actually pretty good! Edit ... just watched the whole vid, you gave the Czar a nod ... Respect!

[@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.

[@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.)

[@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

[@NormanFinkelstein9863]

Comprehensive and Satisfying. Tantamount to an Artist of great Dimension and Ability.

[@MrRipper63]

Love Tom but had no idea he did a rap song when he was young. Now I have to try and forget it! 😄

[@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.

[@ottofifita2914]

Respect to Tom Hardy.

[@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

[@chillieice]

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

[@snehilsrivastava4939]

What has happened to the views.... They should have been in thousands by now

[@DerpRulesAll]

[@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.

[@theman2618]

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

[@harsitpriyan2818]

can you make video about steven spielberg or ridely scott or david lynch

[@RealRoknRollr3108]

Taboo was an excellent show that doesnt get the attention it deserves. If youre a fan of Hardy, dark Peaky Blinders type period drama where a determined and intense man fights powerful institutional forces you should check it out

[@hacisme2456]

love tom hardy! great video! But yeah, tom hardy is a very good masked actor.

[@MatterMadeMoot]

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

[@Jah_LEASE_yah]

The Mad Max Fury Road sequels not happening is one of the greatest tragedies in film history.

[@snarevox]

12:39 tom hardy did not win the 2016 best supporting actor oscar for the revenant, he was only nominated.. mark rylance won it for bridge of spies.

[@Eff_It]

Your vocal cadence is exhausting.

[@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..."

[@IAmMrNotes]

One of my top 5 favourite actors of ALL TIME

[@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.

[@Roman-tu3vh]

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

[@susanfink546]

He will be 1 of the top actors….does the movies he wants to…different types…challenges for him….he’s calmed down…still true to himself……he is my number 1 male actor…forever…it started with Bronson….

[@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).

[@wartella4325]

I actually thought Warrior had done well at the box office. Imo Warrior is easily one of my all time favourite films.

I have to respectfully disagree I was highly disappointed

[@fredlabozzetta7556]

How he never won an Oscar in The Renavent I don't know he simple out shined DiCaprio

[@geronimo8159]

I personally wasn't that huge on Hardy's role in Peaky Blinders. He mostly just comes of as comedic, mumbling barely comprehensible nonsense and mostly, he's just a part of Tom Shelby's various schemes. He's entertaining, yes, but it's hard to take him seriously. That might also because of the writing though: the show is so centered around Cirian Murphy's character that most of the other guys are just reduced to colourful tools. Taboo is pretty cool though... Sad that it didn't get continued.

[@phillylifer]

I just laugh at the philly delval accent he used for the revenant

[@blakan1478]

Don't even try to make me like this guy! I won't forgive him until I get at least 2 more seasons of Taboo.

[@SumeetMahindroo1990]

Tom Hardy was to reprise his Bane role in 2016 Suicide Squad not Rick Flagg.

[@GiovanniAlckmimRusso]

Of course not. Bane was never part of the script, first of all. Second, when they announced the whole cast for Suicide Squad, Hardy was going to play Flagg, but like it was told, because of Revenant he had to drop and Joel Kinnaman was then cast. Third, it was another universe.
