Tropes about Tom Hardy:

• Bi the Way: When asked by a Daily Mail interviewer if he's ever had sex with another man:

"Of course I have. I'm an actor, for fuck's sake. I've played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I'm in my thirties, it doesn't do it for me. I'm done experimenting but there's plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life."

• The Big Guy
• Bishonen: He tends to be this when he isn't packing on muscle for his roles.
• Career Resurrection: He's been a hot property again since Inception.
• Dyeing for Your Art: Hardy got enormous for Bronson, then used that experience to land other musclebound roles in Warrior and The Dark Knight Rises.
• Embarrassing Tattoo: YMMV, but he does have quite a few, and some of them were attained under the influence back when he was on drugs, so...
• Old Shame: You're unlikely to hear him discussing Star Trek: Nemesis anytime soon. Since it nearly freaking KILLED him.
• Star-Making Role: Eames in Inception. Shinzon was supposed to be his breakout role, but that... didn't really pan out.
