If you’re planning to steal a moped, don’t do it on Tom Hardy’s watch. You will be hunted down, tackled, and sent to jail.
The Taboo star went full badass mode and chased a thief through a London suburb this week, fully cementing his reputation as one seriously cool dude.
“Tom must have been walking down the road,” said witness Arun Pullen. “He went off like a shot in pursuit and looked furious. I asked Tom what happened and he told me he chased him through my back garden and caught him around the block – but the route was like an assault course.”
This is the route Hardy took to chase down the two guys who had stolen the moped. They ended up crashing it into a $64,000 Mercedes after running a red light (they seem like really smart criminals), and after that one of the thieves fled the scene. Witnesses say Hardy was literally jumping over walls to catch him.
“It was mental – like he’d switched to superhero mode in an action movie.”
The pursuit ended with Tom Hardy the Hero grabbing the kid by the scruff of the neck. Another witness said, “Tom Hardy’s clearly not a man you’d mess with. I think he even checked the kid’s ID before cops took over.”
After Hardy successfully saved the day, he proudly said, “I’ve caught the c***.” No word yet on which c-word he actually said, but either way it’s a very Tom Hardy-esque way to celebrate, don’t you think?
All in favor of being Tom’s neighbor, say Aye.
