He disappears into roles so completely you forget the face underneath - a physical chameleon who can anchor a film alone in a car or become both halves of murderous twins in the same frame.

  1. I did something particularly heinous that allowed me to wake up. I had to lose something. Sometimes you have to lose something that is worth more to you than your drinking.

  2. [quoting Charles Bronson] "Tom, what I'm trying to say is, right? What I'm trying to say is, son... Is sometimes, yeah, you've gotta cut a little piece of yourself off, yeah?

About this person

Edward Thomas Hardy trained at the Drama Centre London and started in Black Hawk Down (2001), gaining early traction in Star Trek: Nemesis and RocknRolla before Bronson (2008) proved he could carry a film on pure intensity. The run from Warrior through Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to Locke built a reputation for commitment to difficult, interior characters. In 2015 he became Max Rockatansky in Mad Max: Fury Road, played both Kray twins in Legend, and earned an Oscar nomination for The Revenant - all in one year. He's worked repeatedly with Christopher Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Dunkirk) and turned the alien symbiote Venom into a three-film franchise starting in 2018. Television brought Peaky Blinders and the self-created Taboo; stage work earned him an Olivier nod. He also raps as Frankie Pulitzer, releasing Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer in 2026 after years of wanting to be a "secret member" of the Wu-Tang Clan.
