Throwback To Tom Hardy's Embarrassing Myspace Photos From 2008 To Celebrate His Birthday

Throwback To Tom Hardy's Embarrassing Myspace Photos From 2008 To Celebrate His Birthday

Today is Tom Hardy's 39th birthday and what better way to celebrate than to refresh our memories of his hilariously embarrassing Myspace photos from all the way back in 2008.

Now, before we get into it, it's probably worth remembering that at this stage in his career he had already starred in Black Hawk Down, Star Trek: Nemesis and Layer Cake.

He might still have been a relative unknown to the masses but he was certainly not doing badly for himself. I also imagine these pics came just before his starring role as Charles Bronson in the 2008 movie, Bronson.

OK, enough build up, here they are in all their glory...

Of course you'd imagine Hardy was embarrassed by these images, as any of us would be if someone uncovered our old Myspace pictures. But he's Tom Hardy, and he's way cooler than that.

In an interview with Sky News shortly after the images were uncovered, he said: "I've got no shame about my MySpace photos, especially the one of me in my underpants which is a glorious photo of a man in his natural habitat.

In my tighty-whitey budgie smugglers. In America, they say, 'you should be ashamed of this' but I'm actually not remotely ashamed. That is me in my natural habitat, thank you. I might not be an Adonis, but I like to think of myself as an Adonis in that photo."

That's how you deal with embarrassment. No shame.

Happy 39th birthday, Tom Hardy.
