Tattoos may have become increasingly popular in recent times, but Tom Hardy has been adding to his ink on regular occasions for over twenty years now. Hardy had his first tattoo done aged 15, picking out a fighting leprechaun to adorn his right bicep in honour of his mothers Irish heritage. Apparently, she ended up crying rather than feeling honoured by the gesture, but that hasnt stopped him from adding to the collection with each passing year and making a few more errors of judgement. Hardy also got a dragon tattoo for ex-wife Sarah Ward because she was born in the year of the dragon Thats what you call a mistake tattoo, he has since remarked and his tattoos had to be digitally removed in post-production when he played Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. Expect a few more to be added yet: "Each tattoo is a period of time in my life I've been through or a friend I've lost or made I mark myself with everything I've been through at the end of every episode. When I went to drama school they used to tell me I wouldn't get work if I had a tattoo, but I'm working so I get another tattoo every time I do a job.
I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
