Career
[edit]In 1998, Hardy won The Big Breakfast's Find Me a Supermodel competition at the age of 21, earning him a brief contract with Models 1.[1] Hardy joined Drama Centre London in September 1998, and was taken out early after winning the part of US Army Private John Janovec in the HBO-BBC mini-series Band of Brothers.[2] He made his feature film debut in Ridley Scott's war thriller Black Hawk Down (2001).[3] During this time, Hardy also had a brief stint as a rapper and hip hop producer with his friend Edward Tracy (under the name "Tommy No 1 + Eddie Too Tall"), with whom he recorded a mixtape called Falling On Your Arse in 1999 that remained unreleased until 2018.[4]
In 2002, Hardy appeared as the Reman Praetor Shinzon, a clone of USS Enterprise Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: Nemesis.[5] The following year, he appeared in the film Dot the i, and then travelled to North Africa for Simon: An English Legionnaire, a story of the French Foreign Legion. He then returned to the United Kingdom to feature in the horror film LD 50 Lethal Dose (2003).[6]
Hardy was awarded the 2003 London Evening Standard Theatre Award for Outstanding Newcomer for his performances in Blood and In Arabia We'd All Be Kings performed at the Royal Court Theatre and Hampstead Theatre.[7] He was also nominated for a 2004 Laurence Olivier Award for Most Promising Newcomer of 2003 in a Society of London Theatre Affiliate for his performance as Skank in the aforementioned production of In Arabia We'd All Be Kings.[8] Hardy appeared with Emilia Fox in the BBC mini-series The Virgin Queen (2005) as Robert Dudley, a childhood friend of Elizabeth I. Dudley's character has been described as an ambiguous young man who is torn between the affection of his wife (played by Fox), his love for Elizabeth and his own ambitions.[9] Hardy featured in the BBC Four adaptation of the 1960s science fiction series A for Andromeda.[10]
In 2007, he appeared in BBC Two's drama based on a true story, Stuart: A Life Backwards. He played the lead role of Stuart Shorter, a homeless man who had been subjected to years of abuse and whose death was possibly a suicide.[11] The same year he played Bill Sikes in the BBC mini-series Oliver Twist, an adaptation of Charles Dickens's novel that aired on PBS Masterpiece Classic in the US. In February 2008, he played a drug-addicted rapist in the British horror-thriller WΔZ.[12] In September 2008, he appeared in Guy Ritchie's London gangster film, RocknRolla; Hardy played the role of gay gangster Handsome Bob.[13] In 2008, Hardy starred in the film Bronson, about the real-life English prisoner Charles Bronson, who has spent most of his adult life in solitary confinement. For the film, he put on three stone (42 lb or 19 kg).[14]
In June 2009, Hardy starred in Martina Cole's four-part TV drama The Take on Sky One, as a drug and alcohol-fuelled gangster. The role gained him a Best Actor nomination at the 2009 Crime Thriller Awards.[15] In August 2009, he appeared in ITV's Wuthering Heights, playing the role of Heathcliff.[16][17] In early 2010, Hardy starred in The Long Red Road at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago.[18] The play was written by Brett C. Leonard and directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman. Hardy won some good reviews for his portrayal of Sam, an alcoholic trying to drink away his past.[19][20] In 2010, he starred as Eames in Christopher Nolan's science fiction thriller Inception for which he won a BAFTA Rising Star award. Hardy replaced Michael Fassbender in the 2011 film adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,[21] released on 5 September 2011 at the 68th edition of the Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica in Venice. In March 2010, Hardy signed a first-look deal at Warner Bros.[22]
In 2011, Hardy appeared in the film Warrior, which was released on 9 September 2011 by Lionsgate Films. His performance as Tommy Riordan, who is trained by his father to fight in a mixed martial arts tournament against his brother, gained praise from critics. Hardy also starred in This Means War (2012), a romantic comedy directed by McG. He played the supervillain Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, the final film in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy, released on 20 July 2012.[23] He played a bootlegger in John Hillcoat's crime drama Lawless (2012).[24] Hardy has signed up to play the lead role of Sam Fisher in Ubisoft's forthcoming film adaptation of their video game series Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.[25][26] He also appeared in Riz Mc's music video for the song "Sour Times".[27]
In 2014, Hardy appeared in the crime film The Drop alongside James Gandolfini, in what would be the latter's final appearance in a feature film before his death. Hardy also joined the cast of the BBC crime drama Peaky Blinders in its second series. He portrays Alfie Solomons, the head of a Jewish gang and runner of a distillery which disguises itself as a bakery.
Personal life
[edit]Hardy was married to Sarah Ward, a producer, from 1999 until they divorced in 2004.[28] He met Rachael Speed, an assistant director, on the set of The Virgin Queen in 2005, and they had a son in April 2008[29] before separating in 2009.[30] That year, Hardy began a relationship with actress Charlotte Riley after they met on the set of Wuthering Heights. They were married in July 2014.[31] They have two children; the first was born in October 2015[32] and the second in December 2018.[33] They had two rescue dogs, Max and Woodstock, and Hardy appeared with Woodstock in a PETA advert to promote pet adoption.[34] Woodstock died on 5 June 2017 due to an aggressive case of polymyositis.[35]
Hardy has suffered from dysthymia, and spent much time in his youth drinking alcohol and using crack cocaine to cope with it; he has said that he was going "out of control" with his drink and drug use before deciding to seek psychological help when he was 20 years old.[36][37][38]
While portraying prisoner Charles Bronson during the production of the film about his life, Hardy met Bronson several times and the two became friends. Bronson was impressed with how Hardy managed to match his muscularity and how well he could mimic Bronson's personality and voice; he stated that he believed Hardy was the only person who could play him.[39]
Hardy was named one of GQ magazine's 50 best-dressed British men in 2015.[40] He appeared on a 2016 Debrett's list of the most influential people in the United Kingdom.[41] He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2018 Birthday Honours for services to drama.[42]
Martial arts
[edit]An avid Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, Hardy became the lead ambassador for the REORG Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Foundation,[43] which was launched in association with the Royal Marines Charity with the mission to provide a platform for serving personnel and veterans to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu as part of their recovery pathway and to combat the challenge of mental health and physical disabilities.[44]
Hardy enjoys practising Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has been seen training at Roger Gracie's affiliate schools. As of December 2020, he holds the rank of blue belt.[45] He has won a number of jiu-jitsu competitions[46] including at the 2022 UMAC Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Open Championships in September 2022 where he won gold.[47]
