TALKING ABOUT WHICH WILL PLAY BETWEEN AS MINIMUM IN THREE TAPES OF THE “Crazy MAX” - THE AUSTRALIAN FRANCHISE OF DIRECTOR GEORGE MILLER - THE BRITISH ACTOR TOM HARDY WILL CONTINUE.

Listening to the actor during a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival, where the premiere of the post-apocalyptic action movie Mad Max: The Road of Fury took place, it was impossible not to pay attention to his calm speech, soft voice and contagious laughter so adventurous people usually laugh. Hardy instantly evokes sympathy - it’s enough to hear how, with his short answer, he upsets the journalist for a question affecting gender equality. However, Tom Hardy, in addition to respect for women in the arsenal, has charm, a sense of humor, as well as a good taste, instilled by his mother-artist.

Hardy does not consider himself an icon of style, but there has not yet been a case when he “didn’t” fall within the framework of the dress code, be it a three-piece suit with the classic Burberry trench coat during the premiere of “The Dark Knight: Revival of the Legend” or sweatshirts with jeans in non-shooting days. The actor believes that the simpler a certain attribute of the wardrobe, the better. Indeed, in everyday life, Hardy prefers neutral color t-shirts most of all without unnecessary inscriptions, and as his business card, a charcoal-black leather jacket.

Tom is a real chameleon and knows how to transform into his hero in a split second. "He can enter the room, stand in a pose, turn his shoulders a little and that's it, the character is ready," recalls the producer of The Dark Knight Emma Thomas. Not the last role in this is played by his experience in the theater. Back in 2004, the notorious Hardy was nominated for the prestigious Laurence Olivier Theater Award as "the most promising debutant" for his brilliant play directed by "In Arabia, Wed All Be Kings'.

This was followed by the roles of the main villain in the movie "The Starry Bondage Retribution", in the "Rock and Roll" Guy Ritchie, as well as the role in the "Bronson" picture of the most dangerous British prisoner Charles Bronson, based on real events. “Putting a hand in his cell is like putting a lion in a cage. I did it and shook his hand. At that moment I just threw away“ all prejudices — it was the softest handshake in my life. ”

It's nice when a man is not afraid to hide his emotions: the actor is very touching loves his son, because of which he flatly refuses to move from London, and also loves ballet and financially supports the English national ballet troupe. So not so Tom and hard-y!
