Tom Hardy. The man’s so good-looking he’s pretty much abandoned acting with anything other than his eyes.
Turns out he’s got a voice too.

#TomHardy‘s rap mixtape from 1999 has surfaced and it’s very weird, and kind of awesome: https://t.co/Rmfemlzq9f pic.twitter.com/1Q9ROt9z1r

His mixtape, Falling On Your Ass In 1999, was produced by Ed Tracy (“Eddie Too Tall”) and performed by Tom Hardy (“Tommy No 1”), and features all the hallmarks of late ’90s UK pre-grime – heavy on classic samples (Once Upon a Time in the West; The Godfather) and raw drum beats.
On the fourth track, People Like To Boogie, he also spits prophecy: I wanna be on the TV / so people can see me.
Previously, he’s told the BBC that pursuing rap whilst living in a white, middle class neighbourhood was a “hard sell”.
Check out the mixtape below.
Suss our wrap of Sydney’s FOMO – maybe we’ll see Tommy No 1 there next year . . .
