14-15/100 GIFs of Tom Hardy

charlidos:

Tom Hardy interviewed on the red carpet for Rocknrolla, back in 2008. New to me!

He says he fancies Gerard Butler! And that Pnut gave him a bracelet to wear and use to defend himself… 

It’s fascinating to see how much Tom emulates his surroundings and his characters, he’s so cocky and cheeky here, like he’s being Handsome Bob still (or more likely Charles Bronson, since he must have been preparing for that at this point…).

ooh great find.

Fuck off, who do you think I am?

A fresh closeup from the Rocknrolla premiere. Here’s Tom talking about Handsome Bobski.




How did you approach playing a gay character in a Guy Ritchie movie?
Tom: I think there’s an uber stress on being a guy. Guy Ritchie movies, in my opinion, can be very bloke-y in the same way that car magazines or fighting magazines are sort of specifically for the boys. So, Ironically enough, I just played him as straight as possible. So my identification with me and my girlfriend was exactly the same as it was about Bob and One Two, Gerard’s character. There was no need to be camp or anything like that. I’m in love with Gerard, and that’s it, no big deal.
Was there anyone in particular that you modeled the character after?
I watched Cool Hand Luke and Midnight Cowboy, you know, with Jon Voight and Paul Newman, and Steve McQueen in The Great Escape. You know, those kind of images that I wanted to find a sort of modern day homage, in a way, discreetly to those three guys.
They’re all pretty huge sex symbols for gay guys.
Well, I also find them incredibly sexy. It made sense to me to do that. I wanted him to be sexy. As sexy as he could be because it’s not something that I’ve ever really explored.
The movie is incredibly sexy, but ironically, the actual sex is so minimal. I’m curious how you would have approached a gay sex scene in a Guy Ritchie movie?
I think Thandie Newton and Gerard Butler’s scene was absolutely brilliant. Very pop art. I think it would have been done the same way. I don’t know what Guy would do with a gay sex scene. It’d be really interesting. (x)

Submissive Bob


“Masculine, butch groups of blokes together — it’s never really been my cup of tea.
Playing a gay man in a Guy Ritchie movie is a finger up to that whole attitude of men talking about men doing men’s things, which is so fucking narrow-minded.
Handsome Bob is what a man should be — except for the part of him taking a crowbar to the back of someone’s head.”
