Any excuse for a Tom Hardy picspam

[anonymityblaize]

I am feeling a bit down and grumpy today. And I have a friend who does not yet understand the appeal of Tom Hardy. This seems to add up to as good a reason as any to embark on an epic Tom Hardy post.

Let's start out slowly, with some pictures of the pretty.



















One matchstick. Looking cool, hip and groovy.



So, we've established he's pretty. He is also HAWT. (And inked, which is HAWT.)







But, wait! I am not merely objectifying him. (I am totally objectifying him, it's just not the only thing.) I also just love his brain. He is smart, and funny, and open-minded (yeah, we'll get to that), and talks so intelligently about acting and filmmaking. (This interview where his knowledge of French cinema kinda floors everyone else makes me happy inside.)

So, that all adds up to a pretty sexy man, doesn't it? But I'm not even remotely done yet. Because Tom Hardy is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, entangled in hilarity, covered in awesome, dipped in chocolate and topped with a cherry.

There's the whole massive-cam-whore thing...





I don't even know...


Obligatory:


(And I don't even have the speedoes and dog in speedoes pic, or the random hat, bike and is-that-a-gun-in-your-pocket pic. Someone help me out with those?)  Found them! Now in an ETA below.

But don't let those photos make you think that he's one of those wankers. He's a sensitive man.

(Youtube embedding is being wonky - go here!)

He loves animals!





Bonus awesome hat.




Brain melting! Meltiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggggg....


He can wear ridiculous clothes and somehow still look good. (OK, maybe not good, but he still looks like a hot man in bizarre clothes.)





We're still not done yet! I haven't wibbled about the constant play-fighting with castmates, or the amount of work he puts into getting in shape for a film: go watch this video now! It contains such wonders as this:

OK. Brain back online now. It couldn't quite cope for a few moments there.

And then, of course, there's the fact that Tom Hardy is unimpressed by your binary divisions of gender and sexuality - see "Of course I have, I’m an actor for fuck’s sake" (aka possibly my favourite sentence ever uttered by an actor); his obsession with shoes; his accidentally calling JGL "darling"; and his jealous possessiveness of Gerald Butler.



And I am predictably smitten when I see hot boys all bloodied up:



A few more gifs before I return to the world where problems cannot be solved by THard picspam.









So, in summation, Tom Hardy: made of win, awesomesauce, contradictions, sex, and fangirls' dreams. HOW ARE YOU REAL? And dear god or whoever, thank you for making THOSE LIPS.

And oh yes indeedy he is the next big thing.

I do feel quite a lot better now having done that. But I'm sure I've missed many examples of Tom Hardy's wonderfulness - please feel free to spam me some more! (And a quick thank you tomeiface for her post that doesn't really exist.)

EDITED TO ADD MORE!



Yeah, I have no clue WTF is going on... How are these all pictures of the same person?
 
 

 

Couldn't find the original of this one, but what is this I don't even...


ETA: Now with added picspam in the comments! Woot!

Apologies to anyone who saw this whilst I was having a small fight with youtube, LJ and html in general! And that whole LJ cut fail thing, sorry!

Thank you one million times.

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

Tom Hardy goes well with everything!

ngggggh, some of those photos are just unf. sometimes i don't find him attractive but other times i kind of want to jump onto my monitor.

omg the camera!whore! photos are crazy. i want to hate them because it's every wannabe 'gangsta' guy i went to highschool with who overdid the axe spray and has a baby mama, but it's so hard because he's so hot.

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

I know, that stuff ought to make him seem like a douche but somehow the charm wins through. Damn you, Tom Hardy!

[verselle.livejournal.com]

I APPRECIATE THIS PICSPAM, I APPRECIATE IT HARD.

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

Yaaaay!

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Oh my god this makes my rainy gray Friday just THAT MUCH BETTER. Because TOM HARDY MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER. Now I am going to stare at the pictures and gifs some more, mmmmm.

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

YES HE DOES MAKE ALL THINGS BETTER.

MOAR!

Re: OH YES.

[jsherlock.livejournal.com]

whoops forgot one!

Re: OH YES.

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

OHMYFUCKINGGOD I FUCKING LOVE YOU RIGHT NOW!

That last one - how did I forget that one?

And I still haven't found the bloody dog in speedoes one or the one where he's on a bike, wearing a flat cap. Incomplete picspam is incomplete.

Re: OH YES.

[jsherlock.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've seen those particular pictures! :(
So here's the rest of the ones I have:

Re: OH YES.

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

Ohmy... The ones with the blue shirt that cannot contain his arms! Am dead.

And I found the crazy pictures of crazy and edited them into the post. They be crazy.

Re: OH YES.

[jsherlock.livejournal.com]

OMG TOTES CRAZY WTF. <3

[frek.livejournal.com]

You totally killed like twenty minutes of productivity (which, actually is pretty good, considering), and I love you for it.

SERIOUSLY. HOW IS HE REAL?

*stares* O__O

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

Well, I killed about an hour and a half of my own time putting this together and I HAVE NO REGRETS! (And that doesn't even include the amount of time I've spent staring at these pics each time I reply to a comment. Cos I can't just scroll on by. That would be rude.)

[zekuromu.livejournal.com]

FOR THIS GLORIOUS BOUNTY OF TOM HARDY UNF, I THANK YOU.

*FUKKEN SAVED AND MEM'D*

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome. The joy of Tom Hardy must be spread far and wide!

[incepted-writer.livejournal.com]

DEAR GOD YOU JUST MADE MY HOUR/DAY/WEEK/MONTH AND QUITE POSSIBLY YEAR.

*MEM'D* You have either given me pics, and/or links to all the Tom Hardy awesomeness I could love. I am going to go back and drool some more now. And stare at his lips. Cause....yeah.

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Yeah, those lips. They're FUCKING DISTRACTING!

[milodrums.livejournal.com]

Ah shit I can't find my don't be tardy for the hardy party picture :(

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

You can never be tardy to a Hardy party! It never stops. By tomorrow we'll all be camped out in someone else's journal, drooling at another picspam!

[treacle-tartlet.livejournal.com]

O HAI.

I cannot actually remember how I stumbled across this, but OH DEAR GOD I'M GLAD I DID. My brain, it is broken like a broken thing, but in the best way imaginable.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE INTERNETS A BETTER PLACE.

*scrolls back up to ogle some more*

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

And another very late reply...

Isn't it wonderful when you stumble across stuff on the internets? I love that. Particularly when they are Tom Hardy related! Hopefully this year will bring may a new Hardy pic spam!

[theeverdream.livejournal.com]

WHY IS THAT DOG WEARING HIS SPEEDOS

*flails happily*

[anonymityblaize.livejournal.com]

I have no idea, but it is hilarious. God bless Tom Hardy!

[numb3r12.livejournal.com]

Oh my!! This is soooooooooo great. I'm a picspam junkie and obsessed with Mr Hardy - so I was quite delighted with this. Thanks for making and sharing!
