Puppy love: Tom Hardy takes beloved pet pooch Woody to London launch event on a rare outing with wife Charlotte Riley





If there's one thing that's well known about Tom Hardy, it's that he's a dog lover.

But the 36-year-old actor went one step further to including his pooch in his inner circle, by introducing Woodstock to a group of A-listers at Blag magazine's clothing launch in London on Wednesday night.

The actor, who is currently filming Krays biopic Legend in the UK, just couldn't leave his canine companion at home when he stepped out on a rare public appearance with wife Charlotte Riley, where the couple enjoyed glamorous surroundings at Cafe Royal's exclusive The Club venue.

Woodstock (or Woody, as he's more affectionately known) was on his best behaviour as he stayed by Hardy's side for the duration of the party, staring adoringly up at his dressed-down owner.



Pictured alongside Day n Nite singer Kid Cudi and Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno, the Batman actor stepped out to celebrate the arrival of Blag's official clothing line, which he collaborated on with the twins behind the brand, Sally and Sarah Edwards.



Tom Hardy has appeared on the cover of the magazine's 20th and 21st anniversary issues and turned out to show his support for the brand, with his two favourite family members in tow.

Meanwhile, Edge of Tomorrow actress Charlotte teamed a simple belted shirt with black jeans to showcase her elegant physique, keeping her make-up look simple with just a touch of blush lipstick.

The brunette star upstaged her animal counterpart in a pair of glamorous snakeskin heels to vye for the attention of her partner of five years, Tom Hardy.

The hot a-list couple married in secret last April after being engaged since 2010.

And adorable Woodstock has become a regular fixture on the London set of his new project, gangster film Legend, where Hardy plays the characters of both Ronnie and Reggie Kray.

Despite being dressed smartly in belted suit trousers and a crisp white shirt, the actor got down on both knees off-set in East London on Tuesday to roll around with the pooch in the grass. Tom's multiple film roles have predominantly included tough male leads such as notorious baddie Bane in Batman Returns and his portrayal of fighter Michael Peterson in Bronson.

But the Brit-born actor was all too keen to reveal his softer side as he indulged in kisses and cuddles with the labrador-cross before re-emerging for intense filming alongside co-star Emily Browning.
