Tom Hardy, the renowned British actor, has been making headlines recently for his unusual choice of attire while walking his dog in South West London. The 47-year-old actor was spotted wearing an Irish tricolour balaclava, which sparked a mix of surprise and amusement among fans and locals alike. The balaclava, featuring the green, white, and gold colours of the Irish flag, was paired with an all-black outfit, making for a distinctive and eye-catching look.
According to reports, Tom was walking his French bulldog, Blue, in an area more than 30 miles away from his £5million home, which he shares with his wife, Charlotte Riley. The actor's decision to wear the balaclava has been met with curiosity, with some speculating that it might be a nod to his Irish heritage. Tom's mother, Anne, is of Irish descent, and the actor has previously shown his appreciation for his Irish roots by getting a leprechaun tattoo at the age of 15.
The incident has also drawn attention from the Irish hip-hop trio, Kneecap, who took to social media to praise Tom for his unique fashion choice. The group shared photos of Tom wearing the balaclava, welcoming him as a "comrade" and jokingly suggesting that he might be the inspiration behind their own balaclava-wearing style. The exchange has been well-received by fans, with many appreciating the lighthearted and humorous interaction between Tom and the Kneecap trio.
Tom Hardy's film career has been marked by a range of notable roles, including his portrayal of Alfie Solomons in the BBC crime drama Peaky Blinders and his Oscar-nominated performance in The Revenant. The actor has also been in the news recently for his upcoming film, The Bikeriders, which is based on a book by US photographer Danny Lyon. However, the film's production has been marred by controversy, with Lyon revealing that Tom had made unusual demands on set, including a request that he not be looked at directly.
