Edward Thomas "Tom" Hardy (Tom Hardy) for many years pleasing moviegoers from around the world. The actor played comedic and dramatic roles, heroes and villains, but always his appearance on the screen caused extravaganza among the audience. He meticulously reads scripts to holes before agreeing to a role. When he got down to work, he memorized every dialogue with his participation with passion. He has a rather interesting and rich filmography. The actor Tom Hardy can count more than 50 films with his participation. To some works, he had his hand in writing the script. Let's recall the best films, evaluating where Tom Hardy looks more attractive: with a beard, light bristles or smoothly shaved. So let's get started.
Actor Biography
Tom Hardy was born in a suburb of London. He is the only child in the family of the mother-artist and father-writer. He studied acting from childhood in theater schools. At the age of 19, she won the beauty contest, receiving a monetary reward and an offer to collaborate with a modeling agency.
The debut appearance on television took place in the series "Brothers in Arms". The picture itself has an excellent plot and positive reviews from critics, but our hero appeared occasionally there. He often seemed to the viewer a brutal and tough man, where sometimes a beard was an attribute of masculinity. Tom Hardy got roles with a closed face, such as a mask or makeup, but always remained a sex symbol of women.
"Taboo"
The series returns us to the times of the 19th century, where our hero flashed with a beard. Tom Hardy in the title role is unique and original, as if the script was sharpened for him. Partly it is, because the British was writing a script with his father Chip and a friend Stephen Knight. They managed to convey the complex character traits of the main character and the very atmosphere that prevails in the plot. The film crew gradually reveals the meaning of the thriller, but still keeps the audience intrigued.
"The most drunken district in the world"
Here, all the action takes place in the 20th century. The plot is based on the events of Prohibition of the beginning of the last century. The artist plays one of the brothers in the family, who opposes following the decree of the authorities. You can make good money on this, and relatives begin to engage in illegal business. The film tells a real story written by Matt Bondurant. The Briton in the movie, as always, is inimitable, and the peculiarity of the image of that era is complemented by his light unshaven.
"Means war"
An easy entertaining comedy that will appeal to young people and the older generation. The film involves an acting trio in which our hero plays a role without a beard. Tom Hardy, Chris Prine and Reese Witherspoon capture the eyes of fans of all ages at the screens. The classic story began to sparkle with new colors, where two bosom friends are trying to achieve the location of one attractive girl. Sparkling and peculiar humor is combined with a well-designed script, where each project participant complements the other.
Mad Max: The Road of Fury
After 30 years, the sequel to the Mad Max franchise is coming out. To lead the uprising in a post-apocalyptic action movie is Tom Hardy. He began to grow a beard long before the start of filming, and he admitted that its presence is necessary for a formidable and furious image. Mel Gibson himself saw in the British his successor in the role that many claimed.
“Max” from the first to the last minute of the picture remains the rebel that director George Miller wanted to see. In a duet with Charlize Theron, the dialogues had a touch of sexuality and romance. The actors themselves are not averse to meeting again on the set of the fifth part of this project.
Bronson
I would like to include in the list of outstanding works a biographical criminal action movie in which the artist's face is decorated with a mustache rather than a beard. Tom Hardy played prisoner Charles Bronson (real name Michael Gordon Peterson), who spent most of his adult life behind bars. The actor gained muscle mass to resemble his compatriot. The plot shows a complex and uncontrollable, and in some places cunning character of this person, to show the picture on blue screens in 2009.
The most cruel prisoner in Britain, as Charles is called, is a kind of star. He likes being in a prison cell, where he spent most of his time in solitary confinement. The actor talked on the phone with the criminal, and also met in person. The prisoner was amazed at the preparation of our hero for the role. He shaved off his mustache and sent them off to shoot. Bronson fell in love with the audience because of his ease and originality of the idea, which sometimes introduced into a stupor prisoners and correctional workers.
Masks and Graphics
One of the most prominent and memorable roles in Hardy's filmography is the role in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight: The Revival of a Legend. The Briton is the main antagonist who developed a plan to dominate the world. He is the first to break Batman physically and psychologically. Bane was so liked by the fans that it has an army of fans who want his victory in the confrontation. Tom himself seems huge on the screen. No graphics are required to adorn the villain's textured and powerful body.
Bane was previously represented in various interpretations of feature films and animated films, but this is how we first saw him. Critics and ordinary viewers give excellent marks and leave positive feedback. Tom Hardy and Christophen Bale put an end to the trilogy. Fans can only regret that there will be no continuation.
More recently, “Venom” was released, where the actor played a major role. Part of the film we see an ordinary journalist, and the rest of the time he is rampant in the costume of one of the characters of the Marvell cinema universe. It is also worth mentioning Tom in the image of the pilot of the work “Dunker”. Earlier, “Mad Max” was mentioned, where Hardy with thick bristles on his face, but partially on the frame, he appears with a mask. The fairer sex is always upset when the attractive face of a British handsome man is hiding.
Military roles
“Dunker” has already entered the list, but there was still a mass of performances where the Briton plays either active or retired soldiers. The drama of confrontation in the ring of the brothers enthralled the majority of viewers. This work is one of the best paintings of all time and genres, and many countries have tried to remake the film in their own way, but have not found such success.
Tom is introduced by Soviet military officer in Number 44, showing the Soviet Union from the Second World War on the negative side.
