Hardy To Get

I saw this news rumored somewhere yesterday, that British actor Tom Hardy was up for the role of Max in the fourth Mad Max film, Fury Road, which will thankfully be directed by underrated genius George Miller who directed the first three, but forgot to look up anything into it. I mean, I had no idea who Tom Hardy even was, to be honest. So I looked him up now that I was reminded and, uh...


Turns out he was in Band of Brothers
(yeah, who wasn't, I think I was in Band of Brothers)...


... and played the "gay hooligan" that crushed on Gerard Butler in RockNRolla (a movie I still haven't gotten around to seeing, shame on me), and he's currently getting some attention for having beefed up muchly for Bronson. Seriously. Muchly. Seen here:


Good grief. He's also in Chris Nolan's next movie, Inception.
Anyway, I think his casting is a good idea, the end.

I know right. Band of Brothers is like attending a casting session. James McAvoy? Damien Lewis? David Schwimmer?

Hugh Man said...

I liked RocknRolla and he was a major reason. I admittedly wanted the whole movie to be about him and Gerard Butler though.

Bronson is wicked. Also, Hardy gets plenty naked in it.

Heather said...

He went from just a pretty face to a legit heavyweight after Bronson. It's comparable to Eric Bana in Chopper - don't miss it.

How come nobody ever gives him credit for his role ad Praetor Shinzon in Star Trek Nemesis? He was awsome in that movie! Plus he was in a delightful little movie called Scenes Of A Sexual Nature. That movie was great but I'm begining to think I'm the only person who saw it. Plus, and oddly enough, he's the only persn who got naked in it. Interested now?
Ewan McGregor plays a gay man in this gem of a movie.

Jason Adams said...

I had heard of SoaSN before because of Ewan playing gay in it, Scot, I just haven't seen it. I haven't seen Nemesis either, but I did see it on his IMDb page.

Yowza, I always wish they would've shown more of his Handsome Bob character in "RockNRolla"

GOD he's hot.
And as everyone else said, I wish RockNRolla was more about Butler and him, but oh well..

That piccie with his underwear is a real jewl. Where did you find it?
