It was the moment that melted the heart of Hollywood star Tom Hardy as he walked along the red carpet in Broad Street.

The star of new release Locke was gobsmacked when Mail Film Editor Graham Young caught up with him – and presented him with a Lego cement mixer set!

In the new road movie Hardy plays a construction site boss whose life unravels after he deserts his post just as a crucial consignment of concrete is delivered.

“That’s absolutely awesome,” said Hardy, clutching the present. “I’m touched. I’ll share it with my son Louis, who was six at the weekend.”

And he revealed that he had jumped at the chance to join the next series of Brum crime drama Peaky Blinders, the brainchild of Locke’s director Steven Knight.

“It’s a brilliant script and he is a very talented film-maker,” said Hardy.

Celebrity guests at the invitation-only Cineworld Broad Street bash included members of UB40 and Birmingham comedian Jasper Carrott, who starred in TV comedies All About Me and The Detectives, which were scripted by Knight.

Also present were thriller writer R J Ellory, martial arts actor Scott Adkins, Adrian Lewis Morgan from TV’s Doctors and soul singer Jaki Graham.

Football stars from Villa, Blues, Albion and Wolves were also present, along with WAGs.
