Ranking Tom Hardy's Accents From Weird To Really Weird

7. Forrest Bondurant - Lawless

John Hillcoat's moonshine-inflicted crime movie, Lawless, had Tom Hardy as Forrest Bondurant, a bloated, slow-talking and somewhat otherworldly brother character to Shia LaBeouf's protagonist, Jack.

It's certainly an odd voice, given that Hardy grumbles most of his lines to the point of incomprehension, whilst there's always a lingering sense that his character has been punched in the face the night before and is struggling to speak without it hurting. But there's a gravitas to Forrest's voice - it's deep and powerful and primal. He's half animal, even.
