Of his addictive tendencies, Hardy has said: What I have is indiscriminate, like a bullet. If you are an alcoholic that is what you are. He blames drugs for the collapse of his five-year marriage to Sarah Ward, and over a decade of sobriety hasnt made him forget his own struggles or ignore the pain of others suffering from similar problems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psJcbEbxk4c Hardy busies himself with a number of charitable endeavours when his schedule allows, becoming a patron for the Cambridge charity Flack after his portrayal of Stuart Shorter, a homeless alcoholic whose tragic life formed the basis of the biography and TV movie Stuart: A Life Backwards. He is also a keen environmentalist and an ambassador for The Princes Trust youth charity, and he has every intention of continuing to lend his support to those in need: Im an addict and an alcoholic, so I have my ups and downsI want to help other people and Im really grateful of the things that happened in my life. It could have gone the wrong way.
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.
