To not get the Tom Hardy obsession?

[Sillysausage123]

I'm 37 so maybe this is why I just don't get the obsession every female seems to have with Tom Hardy.
He just looks like an ordinary guy to me but the amount of Facebook memes and posts my female friends post about him and I don't get it. What am I missing?

Much as I would like to click on that dodgy looking link, just in case it leads to some lovely Tom Hardy-ness, an explanation of what it is would be helpful, User1billion.

So there I am coming home from work tonight, on the train, open the Evening Standard and there it is, an interview with Tom Hardy, WITH A PICTURE

Was with Mr Pinot, so couldn't get too excited but OMG, it made my day.

Tim McgInnery?! Percy in Blackadder and with the longest neck in any human? YABU.

I don't see the attraction myself.

james I clicked the link, it's worth it

OK I'm trusting you Zilpha.

If the media made the same comments and reported in the same manner about a female actress, there would be hell to pay, but because they are blokes it's OK somehow.

Er... do you live in some parallel universe where actresses aren't scrutinized head to toe every time they leave the house, and aren't accused of 'putting on a leggy display' because they are out in public while in possession of legs? If so, how are you communicating with us?!

Also nobody has criticised him, just that they don't find him attractive to them personally and those who do find him attractive have said why. So I don't think you can compare it to the scrutiny females receive all the bloody time!

He's sort of giggling there.

Oh that's a good one!

Come to bed eyes...?

Hmm once I made sure I had the correct actor.... Not sure. I watched Taboo and the grunt/growl thing got irritating and distracted me from anything else!

Tuck in this means war! That's the first thing I ever saw him in and my flabber was well and truly ghasted. I had to google who this perfect angel in human form was and I've never loved another since

This one will "break" the thread...

January birth thread filling up fast!

His bad boy tough man image puts me off. He's a very privileged privately educated boarding school type. Full of angst and rebellion but doesn't seem to realise how privileged he was.

What makes you think that bambini?

I just can't explain it James, it's taken a hold of me these past few years and I can't seem to shake it.

Nope, don't get it either!

I don't even know who he is...

I don't really see it either. I can see that he meets the standard "good looking" but TBH I find tattoos rancid, so he's never made my shortlist. I'm sure he's devastated

Wondering if my electrician is judychicago's electrician

I don't get Tom Hardy either, he seems like a guy you'd see in the pub.
