The actor points out how Woody had also won the heart of his fans and Hollywood colleagues, after he bought him onto sets and to movie premieres and events.

'He has been on many sets. Met many crews. Photo shoots premieres made many many friends he was #73 most influential animal in TIME magazine. He beat JAWS. Something we all thought was brilliant. He's been in peaky blinders. Legend everyone who met him loved him. He didn't have a bad bone in his body. All he knew was love,' he writes.

'I don't normally speak out about family and friends but this is an unusual circumstance. Woody affected so many people in his own right,' he adds.

Tom ends his essay by telling Woody he was 'the bestest friend ever. To me and to a family who loved him beyond words and whom he loved without doubt more than I have ever known. Woody was the bestest of journey companions we ever could dream of having. Our souls intertwined forever.'
