Tom Hardy is not a man who’s averse to getting his kit off, and for that we can all be thankful. The latest excuse he’s found to get his shirt off is for the cover of Esquire magazine.
And if you’re a fan of chiselled, tatted, hairy guys, you’re in for a treat.
However in the accompanying interview he suggests that his man’s man image isn’t the whole story. He says, “I have always been frightened with men. To the point where I couldn’t go into a gym because of the testosterone and I felt weak. I don’t feel very manly. I don’t feel rugged and strong and capable in real life, not how i imagine a man ought to be. So I seek it, to mimic it and maybe understand it, or maybe to draw it into my own reality. People who are scary, they terrify me, but I can imitate them. I’m not a fighter. I’m a petite little bourgeosis boy from London. I don’t fight, I mimic.”
Please insert your own joke here about finding a way to test his manliness.
