Tom Hardy is one of the finest actors working in Hollywood right now and his credentials are a testament to his success. Over the years, he has worked in a lot of stupendous projects and shown the world how great of an actor he is. Even though he has earned a lot of fame in his life, there was a time when everything was bleak in his life and succumbed to the influence of crime and drugs.
At a young age, Hardy entered rehab in 2003 and only emerged from the dark abyss when he was 25 years old. Coming to terms with the potential loss of everything he had worked for, Hardy ultimately realized that he needed to stop consuming alcohol in order to protect his career and personal life. However, the battle to overcome his addiction was an arduous one, with deep-rooted reasons stemming from his childhood.
During an interview with Mirror UK, Tom Hardy candidly shared the challenging experience he faced in fighting his addiction. Reflecting on his privileged and peaceful upbringing in South West London, he revealed that a desire to shake things up and rebel had led him down a dangerous path. He said, “If I had four pints of lager and half a bottle of vodka I could turn this room into an absolute f**king nightmare in about three minutes. I could destroy everything in my life I have worked so hard for. It’s the suburbs, the life is so privileged and peaceful and so bloody dull, it gives you the instinctive desire to want to f**k everything up.”
