Tom Hardy | Before They Were Famous | From Serious Addictions To Venom 2

English actor, Tom Hardy, has portrayed his share of enigmatic troublemakers on screen – be it villainous characters like Bane, Al Capone, Bronson, or even the anti-hero Venom. And while many actors tend to shy away from continually playing bad guys around Hollywood, Hardy’s always believed that villains are the most fun to portray. Maybe that’s because his own past is littered with run-ins with the law, not to mention a crippling substance abuse issue that threatened to end this talented young man’s life before he ever got the chance to prove himself as one of today’s greatest actors. That’s right -- long before Tom Hardy was ever wrestling with a parasitic alien-symbiote, his biggest battle was against himself.
