Tom Hardy poses with fans after attending the New York Film Critics Series screening of his new movie Locke on Wednesday evening (April 23) at the AMC Empire 25 in New York City.

The 36-year-old actor has been in a long-term relationship with Charlotte Riley since 2009 and in an interview at the red carpet screening of the film the night before, he referred to her as his wife!

“Well my wife is an actor as well so she sort of gets it,” Tom told Us Weekly about how his family supports it when he throws himself into a role. “Apart from that, I’m a pain in the ass really. You know what I mean? Like any other boyfriend.”
