This is one of the reasons why I love English girls: look at Tom Hardy’s fiancée Charlotte Riley at the BFI London Film Festival premiere of Tom’s new film, Locke. If this was an American girl, she would be tottering around in five-inch Louboutins, a mini skirt and something sparkly. But here’s Charlotte, looking low-key yet casually sophisticated in wide-leg trousers, a simple black top and a zippered car coat. It doesn’t even look like she got a blowout or anything – she just threw her hair into a messy half-French twist from the look of it. Gorgeous.
Anyway, Tom was promoting Locke, the film where he’s in a car, talking on the phone for the entire film. Critics love the film. They’re saying it’s one of Tom’s best performances ever. He probably won’t get nominated for anything, but it’s a great “experimental” film and why not? So here’s Tom looking dapper and pulled together at the BFI London Film Festival.
Tom and Charlotte have been together – off and on – since 2009. I’m not even sure when they got engaged, but Tom has claimed that Charlotte is the one who seems gun-shy about setting a date. Plus, their relationship seems sort of drama-filled. They’ve broken up once a few years ago that I know of, and they allegedly broke up again earlier this year when it seemed like Tom was having some kind of relationship with Noomi Rapace. But Charlotte and Tom are back together now. Is that good or bad? I don’t know. I don’t know much about her, but it seems like Tom adores her so there you go.
Also, this photo happened. Ugh.

No.
Me neither. He’s not attractive at all. A guy whose lips are as full as mine? No thanks.
How tall is he?
IMDb says 5’9″ — which is average.
5’9 is average, but it amazes me having seen him in the Dark Knight rises. Considering Christian Bale is apparently legit 6’1 or so they must have had Hardy on stilts! 😉
Nah, they used the same apple crate it was used for Robert Downey Jr. in The Avengers :P.
well…that just killed the fantasy, I’m 5’9″. Need those pictures of him with the puppy to restore it.
Have you ever kissed a guy with full lips? Yummmmmmmmmmmm
No.
I would not hit a snaggletoothed guy I tower over. Yuck, those teeth pigeonhole him into villain roles.
I’m a short ass myself (5’2″) so I don’t mind when guys are not that tall. In fact, the super tall ones are a problem for me (my neck hurts when I have to look up all the time).
I’m just not attracted to Hardy — have never been, actually.
Why do the super tall guys always go for short women? I’m 5’8”, which is average, but with heels I’m taller than a lot of guys, and the ones that are taller than me go for short(er) women. Luckily, men are generally tall round here, but still.
+1 NO NO NO. Sorry I don’t like the chiclet teeth (vaneers) but umm those are a bit eeek
Totally disagree. I love him. Fantastic actor. His imperfections make him that much more intriguing. Not your typical Hollywood actor obsessed with perfection.
Eeeeeeee. I was going to say yes until I saw that photo. I’m normally not one to fuss too much over teeth but um…yeah, that’s way past what I want to see in a man’s mouth.
Maybe he got injured and that’s why they’re so brown? Maybe? Please?
It’s possible. My dad had an injured tooth that was brown as a result. He finally got it fixed years later.
My friend also had that, but his tooth had a black line over it. I found it adorable. I’m weird, I know.
My dad hit his tooth (one of the front ones) and now it’s all grey. Seeing as how his teeth are actually white, except for a few, maybe he got punched/knocked into something and so those two brown ones are dead.
Yes.
Teeth be damned. I would. Twice, and then again with a jelly tot on top.
Yes and YES. Hehe.
I like you, Sixer and I really don’t wanna fight you, but I will I have to.
Hardy is mine, all mine.
I shall hold your coats as you lovely ladies duke it out and then have some tea and scones ready for when you are finished.
You might have to hold my earrings too Miss J, I see some thirsty ladies on this thread!
I would prefer beer and sweet tater fries for my post-fight snack, please.
I’ll just take the jelly tot, thanks. And maybe the girlfriend’s trousers.
Ha! I’m a card-carrying pacifist, sorry to disappoint. Actually, I can spare TomHardyBlokeMan for a short while since I am still a-tremble over Cillian Murphy. Enjoy him while you can, OKitt!
Like it was a game of whack-a-mole. Hard and repeatedly. Am completely in love with his hi humor, efforts to save elephants and loveable pooch wrestling.
Those chompers need to be fixed, but other than that.
I never realized his teeth were so offputting! He needs serious dental work. While his teeth are terribly crooked, there’s no excuse for them to look dirty and yellow, even though it might look apropos for some of his characters. He’s got the quintessential “British teeth.”
agreed. shame.
“British teeth?” Tom Hiddleston, Drunk Uncle Cumby, Christian Bale, Colin Firth, Gary Oldman, James MacAvoy (same difference), Eddie Redmaye, et al might disprove this SWEEPING generalization.
If we’re going to stereotype, let’s at least go with “history of drug abuse” teeth.
I’m not going to pretend that wasn’t an awful tooth picture and stereotypes don’t bother me – in fact, it is a mystery to me that anyone LIKES the American tooth stereotype of looking as though you have dentures and no real teeth left.
I like the snaggletooth but not the yellow.
Yes. I don’t mind a little imperfection, but our bloke needs to scrub up a little. Maybe Hiddles and Cumby are making him be their extra chavvy minstrel this week because they’re feeling delicate.
Too perfect teeth scare me. TommyAnne’s chompers occasionally freak me out a little. But I feel like I’m always talking about teeth that scare me so I’ll stop.
I try not to look at TommyAnne’s teeth. More/bigger at the bottom than the top – and I am unreasonably put off by that.
I think imperfections are what make you sexy rather than beautiful.
Agreed! Imperfections make someone unique. I’m all for improving ones self where you can but some take it too far or do unnecessary things.
I’m sorry but her style here is just so..it’s not good; those shoes just don’t go well with the way she’s wearing that coat and… I can’t put my finger on it something is just off.
I think it’s because all her clothes are a little baggy, maybe if they were fitted better? Although he was doing a lot of “belly cupping” at the event, so there are rumors she might be preggers, maybe that’s why she’s wearing her cloths so loose.
I love these two as a couple. Glad the rumors about him leaving her for Noomi R. Were not true. And I love Tom Hardy, non-Hollywood teeth and all.
I don’t think the rumor was that he left her for Rapace…no leaving was involved, *cough*. I’ll be interested to see if she decides to chance marriage, perhaps they’ll just come to one of those famous Hollywood “understandings”.
I do, too. I could watch them together in Wuthering Heights once a week and still not tire of them.
Yes. All day, every day.
So happy to see him with Charlotte! Though I think she’s gun-shy about committing because he has a wandering dong.
A year ago, yes. Now, no. It is a shame how fast he fell from the dong list.
I know right? A year ago, you wouldn’t even have had to ask but now, not too sure. Those teeth. Yikes.
Nope. I prefer my Brits as cat-aliens (Cumby) and dorks (Hiddles)!
I don’t know much about his background, but he seems more working class than posh, which is a huuuge plus for me. To bad I don’t find him handsome at all.
From what I’ve read/seen, he grew up upper middle class but went wayward in his teens (in East Sheen, ha). I think he prefers to act like he was born working class, but his education and upbringing still come through every so often.
Still yes. I miss his furry mountain man face though.
Um, those teefs. Well, considering how he spent his teens and early twenties, I can see how oral care just wasn’t a priority for him. Maybe he feels that he’d be too vain and all Hollywood-like if he got them fixed now.
As long as he kept those chompers to himself, I throw him some 🙂
I didn’t realize they were still together, and no I wouldn’t hit it. I’ll leave him to OKitt.
You sure will….
Or else!!!!!!
PS- Pats made me cry yesterday 🙁
I still think that call was total bullsh-t.
“You can’t push your own players.”
Um, WHAT?!?!?!?
Take my Pats fandom out of it, just as a football fan you hate to see a team lose like that. So anti-climactic.
I don’t know how many times I rewound and I just couldn’t see it. But if it makes you feel better (and even if it doesn’t) I’ll be a bandwagon fan for the Red Sox (hate St. Louis) in the WS.
I bet ciggies…
he was a yummy buscuit in Layer Cake. fantastic actor. Sorry Jeremy Renner you wilted stripper loving shorty- you can step aside and let Mr Hardy pass.
I’d still hit that. His fiancée is gorgeous and from what I can see of her shoes…I love them! Snakeskin pumps 🙂 beautiful
I loved her in Wuthering Heights! I’d love to see them act opposite one another…again.
OMG my growing crush on him is suddenly DESTROYED by those teeth. eek!!! skew teeth are my pet peeve, I cant deal, I CAN’T TAKE IT! Sorry Tom, stay with your lady, I don’t want you anymore.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Ever since I saw him as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights I have had some nice little fantasies about him.
Yes, he was a great, great Heathcliff.
yes always forever!as for his teeth situation ,he has always had them like tthat and in his early interviews he had even mentioned how they might hinder his chances in american market ,who cares !he is one of those few actors who can completely transform himself into his character , u will nvr see “tom ” the superstar on the screen ,u will see his character ,i , guess thats why i like him ,i like charlottee too,she is really quirky and adorable !!
In Rocknrolla, he is so delicious. Maybe it’s because he’s playing a “puff” that makes him so irresistable. I haven’t felt the same lust in my loins for him since then. I think he’s better with a close-crop.
irresistible. i hate typos.
I would still hit it! I think he’s really hot!
Oh, Tom…what happened?
Still Jenna Urban? Just checking…
Kaiser, you should just stop asking “Would you hit it?” when it comes to Tom. You know the answer from us is always going to be yes, yes, yes. Forever dong. Nail it to the wall.
O Yes i would! He’s the best actor out there and one sexy and sweet man. Love it that he and his Char are down to earth and happy with each other. All those rumors of splitting up ;not true at all.
LOVE YOU TOM JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!
Please yes. he’s sexy as hell and at the same time a ‘puppy of a man’!
I like Charlotte too. She seems cool and relaxed. Love them together!
I would hit it until I turned inside out. I even love his janky teeth. He is everything.
Hell YES! He oozes sex appeal. The teeth can always be fixed.
Well Kaiser, you better get your facts right. Tom and Charlotte never split up and he never had any relationship with Noomie! Don’t believe all that tabloid-shit, not even your own 🙂
Tom is the best actor out there: FACT!
Definitely yes! He’s my acting-hero and a genuine bloke. Love his kind of humor too.
