Since his debut in Ridley Scott's war thriller Black Hawk Down, Tom Hardy has carved himself a career out of playing hard-edged, psychotically unhinged characters. And his early struggles with drink and drugs only cemented this reputation.

Yet, despite his apparent typecasting and default image as Hollywood's go to thug, the actor has also occasionally displayed a more loved-up emotional side that has sneakily helped him attain heartthrob status.

In fact, Hardy has even portrayed one of the most famous romantic characters ever – Heathcliff in ITV's underviewed adaptation of Wuthering Heights alongside his future wife Charlotte Riley.
