Tom Hardy | Before They Were Famous | From Serious Addictions To Venom 2

English actor, Tom Hardy, has portrayed his share of enigmatic
troublemakers on screen – be it villainous characters like Bane, Al
Capone, Bronson, or even the anti-hero Venom. And while many actors
tend to shy away from continually playing bad guys around
Hollywood, Hardy’s always believed that villains are the most fun
to portray. Maybe that’s because his own past is littered with
run-ins with the law, not to mention a crippling substance abuse
issue that threatened to end this talented young man’s life before
he ever got the chance to prove himself as one of today’s greatest
actors. That’s right -- long before Tom Hardy was ever wrestling
with a parasitic alien-symbiote, his biggest battle was against
himself.
