He's known for playing the hard man - so there was no way Tom Hardy was letting an embarrassing reminder of his pre-fame past get to him.

The Mad Max: Fury Road actor turned a blind eye to the extra attention into his private affairs when he enjoyed a laidback stroll in London with wife Charlotte Riley.

Tom, 37, whose nearly-nude MySpace pictures went viral online last week, turned to 33-year-old Charlotte for some normality and the pair certainly looked grounded, making minimal effort for the outing.

Relaxed: Tom Hardy turned a blind eye to viral pre-fame images that came from his old MySpace page last week, and enjoyed the company of his wife Charlotte Riley

Tom looked particularly rugged with his bearded appearance just peeping beneath a navy cap as he walked along with his hands in his trousers.

He wore trainers with loose jogging bottoms and a fleece; while his other half matched his casual appearance in loungewear and slouchy UGG-style boots.

Charlotte, who secretly tied the knot with the moviestar in 2014, went make-up free and scraped her hair into a high bun with a wide headband.

The brunette beauty - also an actor, most-recently seen in Peaky Blinders - exchanged vows with the hunk in July at the Chateau de Roussan in the South of France, keeping it a low-key affair with only a select number of friends.

Tom and Charlotte met on the ITV set of Wuthering Heights in 2009 and got engaged in 2010 but only drew attention to their nuptials when he let the reference to 'my wife' slip in an April 2014 interview.

Family man Tom, who has a six-year-old son from a former relationship, has previously described himself as a real 'softie' and far from the people he portrays.

Tom previously the star of Bronson and The Dark Knight Rises - suffered a mild misdemeanour last week when it was discovered that his old MySpace page was left 'public'.

As such, racy pictures from the site (one in which he is almost flashing his groin and multiple in his underwear) were picked up by frenzied fans who shared them via their own social media pages.

The actor's Hollywood star is continuing to rise but the blunder served as a sharp reminder from some darker days in Tom's past.

Immersed: The pair looked engaged in conversation as they shrugged off any embarrassment

Tom recently opened up about his destructive addiction to hard drugs, a habit which he kicked 10 years ago, saying that he was lucky to be alive.

Speaking to Yahoo! New Zealand at the Cannes Film Festival last month, Tom confessed: 'I would have sold my mother for a rock of crack. I was a shameful suburban statistic.

'I was told very clearly, "You go down that road, Tom, you won't come back. That's it. All you need to know." That message stayed with me clearly for the rest of my days. I am f***ing lucky to be here.'

His characters took a similar turn and as he beat the substance abuse, he began to play darker movie characters.

Tom continued: 'People didn’t sit up and take any notice of me until I started putting on weight, kicking people and being aggressive'

Following the success of Mad Max, in which he played the titular role, Hardy is looking forward to the release of Legend later this year, when he will take on both Klay Twins Reggie and Ronnie.
