In celebration of the fact that it is only 14 days until The Dark Knight Rises hits our cinema screens in the UK and the rather more serious issue that I am in my mid-twenties and still cannot grow a solid beard, I’ve thrown together the timeline of Tom Hardy’s rather ugly (but undoubtedly impressive) facial fox. Hardy is a man on the rise, with a series of intense and impressive performances in the last few years, things look to be on the up. But do yourself a favour Tom, lose the whiskers and go with the ‘designer stubble’. It screams metrosexual but we all know you’re a man’s man and not part of this TOWIE crap!

Anyway, here it is… The Evolution of Tom Hardy’s Beard…

There’s been some clear trimming, so it’s reassuring to know that Tom looks after the fuzz, but at the moment, he looks like a bum. And we know from his recent success he’s got some spare cash lying around. I suppose it’s entirely possible he is planning his next part as a homeless lay-about. Go back to the old days Tom, ya know, when you weren’t discovering morsels of last night’s dinner on your face the morning after.
