Is there anything Tom Hardy can’t do?

The answer seems to be a resounding ‘no.’

The Hollywood actor recently wrapped up filming for Marvel’s Venom, where he is lending his raspy, dark voice to the titular antihero in the upcoming movie.

Now, he’s venturing back into rap music.


The actor is reportedly working on a hip hop/rap/grime album with record producer Sam Williams, who has previously worked with the likes of Supergrass, Plan B, The Noisettes and Gaz Coombes.

A source told The Sun: ‘Tom has always had a huge passion for rapping ever since he was a young boy.



‘In the past, he’s put song-writing on the backburner but just recently decided to pick things up again after building a friendship with producer Sam Williams.

‘They’ve been busy working on a selection of songs together for an album and it’s really starting to get some steam.’

The 40-year-old is ‘a bit tentative’ to release it to the world just yet, but big wig labels like Warner are already reportedly eyeing it up.

‘There is real potential for it to hit the charts,’ the source added.

Known for his major roles in films such as Mad Max: Fury Road and The Dark Knight Rises, the actor has a massive soft spot for rap.

Recently a 1999 mixtape he penned resurfaced and made its way onto reddit, and later his fans’ earbuds.

Falling On Your Arse In 1999 was uploaded to Bandcamp back in January, and fans were here for his playful, if premature lyrics.

Back in 2011, he told BBC that he had a recording deal as a rapper when he was a wee teenager but that he had decided on acting because he wasn’t ‘very good at rapping.’

Well, perhaps he’s improved…
