In 1998, Hardy won The Big Breakfast's Find Me a Supermodel competition at age 21 (and with it a brief contract with Models One).[19] 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 award-winning HBO-BBC miniseries Band of Brothers.[20] He made his feature film debut in Ridley Scott's war thriller Black Hawk Down (2001).[21] 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.[22]

In 2007, he appeared in BBC Two's drama based on a true story, Stuart: A Life Backwards.

For the film, he put on three stone (19 kg/42 pounds).[33]

In June 2009, Hardy starred in Martina Cole's four-part TV drama The Take on Sky One, as a drugs and alcohol fuelled gangster.

Hardy starred in five films in 2015. The first, Child 44, set in 1950s Soviet Union, saw him playing Leo Demidov, a Soviet secret police agent who investigates a series of child murders. Despite mild praise for his acting, Child 44 was reviewed negatively by critics and was a box office failure.[47] Hardy then played the title character, Max Rockatansky, in the action film Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).[48][49] His performance was praised by critics[50][51] and overall the film received critical acclaim and became a box office success,[52] grossing over $378 million against a $150 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing film in the Mad Max franchise.[53] He played a dual role as London gangsters Reggie and Ronnie Kray in the crime thriller Legend (2015).[54] On 7 December 2015, Hardy won Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards for his portrayal of the Kray twins, and on the same night attended the premiere of the biographical western thriller The Revenant, in which he co-stars with Leonardo DiCaprio, at Leicester Square, London.[55] On 14 January 2016, Hardy received his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in The Revenant.[56]

Hardy played a Royal Air Force fighter pilot in Christopher Nolan's action-thriller Dunkirk (2017), based on the British military evacuation of the French port of Dunkirk in 1940 during the Second World War. He appeared alongside Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy and Harry Styles.[57] Hardy also co-produced and starred in the eight-part BBC One television drama series Taboo. It was created by Hardy, Steven Knight, and Hardy's father, Edward "Chips" Hardy. Taboo was aired in the United States by FX.[58]

In 2018, Hardy starred in the film Venom,[59][60] as the title comic book sometime hero, Eddie Brock / Venom. Based on the Marvel source material, the film was released on 5 October, and is meant to be the start of "Sony's Universe Of Marvel Characters" (along with Silver and Black). It is connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as an "adjunct" film.[61][62]

Upcoming projects

In 2019, Hardy is scheduled to star in Josh Trank's Al Capone biopic Fonzo.[63] Hardy is also attached to star as iconic war photographer Don McCullin in a film based on McCullin's autobiography, Unreasonable Behaviour.[64]

Personal life

Hardy at the premiere of Locke in 2014

Hardy married producer Sarah Ward in 1999; they divorced in 2004.[65] He has a son (born 2008)[66] with his then-girlfriend, assistant director Rachael Speed, whom he met on set of The Virgin Queen in 2005. They separated in 2009 after four years together.[67] In 2009, Hardy began a relationship with actress Charlotte Riley, after they met on the set of Wuthering Heights. They were married in July 2014.[68] In October 2015, their first child was born.[69] In December 2018 the couple's second child, a son, was born.[70] They had two rescued dogs, Max and Woodstock, one of which Hardy appeared with in a PETA advert to promote pet adoption.[71] Woodstock died on June 5, 2017 due to an aggressive case of polymyositis.[72]

In 2010, Hardy became an ambassador for the Prince's Trust, a leading UK youth charity which provides training, personal development, business start up support, mentoring, and advice.[73] In 2012, he and Riley became patrons of Bowel Cancer UK.[74] Prior to the inaugural Invictus Games held in London in September 2014, Hardy, along with other entertainers and athletes, read the poem "Invictus" in a promotional video.[75]

In December 2018 Hardy became lead ambassador[76] for the "Reorg Brazilian Jiu Jitsu foundation"[77] 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. On top of this Hardy himself is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner and has been seen training at Roger Gracie affiliate schools.[78]

Hardy was named one of GQ magazine's 50 best dressed British men in 2015.[79] One of the highest profile actors in contemporary British popular culture, Hardy appeared on Debrett's 2016 list of the most influential people in the United Kingdom.[80] Hardy was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2018 Birthday Honours for services to drama.[81]

Hardy was addicted to alcohol and crack cocaine during his mid-20s, after which he checked himself into rehab following a particular low point. He has said that he was 'out of control' on drink and drugs before he turned his life around, and was lucky that he did not contract HIV while he was at his lowest.[82][83]

During the filming of Bronson, Hardy met with prisoner Charles Bronson several times and the two became friends. Bronson was impressed with how Hardy managed to get as muscular as he was and how well he could mimic his own personality and voice. Bronson has stated he believes Hardy was the only person who could play him.[84]
