Postavant

You may or may not know Tom Hardy, who was going to be the next big thing when he played the villain in Star Trek: Nemesis and is in the recently released Bronson, which I hear good things about, but one thing is for certain; he definitely should have never played the villain in Star Trek: Nemesis. The movie is an astounding failure in every way, so much so that it really did cause Tom Hardy to develop a crack addiction and shattered his marriage. Seriously.

“I went entirely off the rails and I’m lucky I didn’t have some terrible accident or end up in prison or dead – because that’s where I was going. Now I know my beast and I know how to manage it. It’s like living with a 400lb orang-utan that wants to kill me. It’s much more powerful than me, doesn’t speak the same language and it runs around the darkness of my soul. I would sell my mother for a rock of crack.”

The full interview that The Guardian did (http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2009/jun/23/tom-hardy-star-trek-actor) is plenty interesting, but just had to post this for the goodness that is the title.
