To not get the Tom Hardy obsession?

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?

You know when people say they get hot under the collar about someone on TV, or go all hot?

Never had that happen to me all my life (unless actually with a man for real).

TH is totally doing this for me. It's quite the revelation. Such power Wink

I shared a taxi with him

happypoobum · 27/04/2017 18:40

Thanks for the info Zilpha.

TinselTwins · 27/04/2017 18:47

He is aesthtically pleasing I can see that in theory, but I don't understand how people can swoon at performances when he is playing violent characters!

limitedperiodonly · 27/04/2017 18:52

He wasn't entirely nekkid but he did grunt a bit.

We'd met a couple of hours before at a work thing and when he realised we were going the same way he very kindly offered me a lift in his booked cab to save me waiting.

I got in the front with the driver and he got in the back with his then-girlfriend. It got a bit steamy in the back. I think she might have been marking her territory. The driver adjusted his rear view mirror for a better look while I stared out of the windscreen.

We dropped them off at their hotel and said goodbye. Me and and driver giggled all the way home.

Friend of mine had never heard of him and watched taboo

Met up for coffee and she was saying great it...and he was. Getting a bit over excited and trying to explain to someone else that he was one of the 'goodies'

I was Shock and then i went through all the bad things he had done in just episode 1!!!!

She did have the good grace to blush Grin she was just so blinded by him that she hadnt realised that he was a bit of a twisted baddy

19lottie82 · 27/04/2017 18:52

I don't get the taboo / sky Mobile voice thing either, but thankfully he doesn't talk like that IRL.

Yes, I most definitely would! Grin

ZilphasHatpin · 27/04/2017 18:55

What a fantastic article! And how lovely to know that tom is a knitter! Grin

P.s. Am I the only one wondering what the hell "pulchritudinous" means?? Confused

happypoobum · 27/04/2017 18:56

I think it means beautiful?

ZilphasHatpin · 27/04/2017 18:58

Brilliant story limited! Grin oh to have been that girlfriend!

ZilphasHatpin · 27/04/2017 18:58

I've never heard that word before in my life. I'm going to google.

ZilphasHatpin · 27/04/2017 19:00

It does indeed mean beautiful! What a horrible word to describe beauty!

limitedperiodonly · 27/04/2017 19:15

I like him in Layercake. It's only a small part but perfectly formed Wink. I also like Daniel Craig in that and see Layercake as his calling card for Bond, so I don't see why Tom Hardy shouldn't go for it if he wants.

I'd watch him. I think Craig has been a great Bond - I never liked the franchise much before. I also think they're both really good actors with the potential to extend that with their personalites and to own a really big part.

JamesDelaneysHat · 27/04/2017 19:15

Ooh Tom, you're so pulchritudinous....
