Which Tom Hardy Character Are You?

"Mad" Max Rockatansky is an iconic action hero and possibly Tom Hardy's biggest starring role to date, but his take on the character in Mad Max: Fury Road is a little different to Mel Gibson's original. Hardy's Max is a rather vulnerable, twitchy and desperate character suffering from PTSD, He's a former cop, and is intrinsically good, but he lacks a sense of purpose - he's just trying to survive. He's quick to support the aims of Furiosa, his reluctant ally, but he's still a little unhinged and not really fit for polite company. But we love him anyway. He just needs to learn to use his words.

"You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling." Tom Hardy's portrayal of Eames in Christopher Nolan's Inception was a breakout role for the actor, introducing him to the world stage. In the criminal underworld of lucid dreaming, Eames is a forger - he can impersonate others inside the dreamspace, a unique skill. If you're like Eames, you're sassy, creative, pragmatic, tough and a little bit flamboyant. Also, you're probably quite fond of poker and of slim, acerbic young men in expensive suits.

Locke is one of Tom Hardy's most challenging and introspective roles - just him, alone in a car for two ours, trying to juggle and organize some of the most massive events of his life via telephone while everything falls to pieces around him. Ivan Locke is the ultimate everyman - a successful blue collar worker, a family man, Welsh, decent, patient - and the film intimately explores the consequences of making one mistake and trying to take responsibility for it. Locke is patient, determined, and he tries his best. He's also a little bit repressed.

Ten years ago, pre-Hollywood Tom Hardy, was not the tough guy he's now known for playing. In his own words, "I’m not a fighter, I’m a petite little bourgeois boy from London," and his appearance in "Scenes of a Sexual Nature" is a perfect example of that. Noel is an adorable, opportunistic little chav with some odd quirks, who can't seem to say anything right - one of Hardy's most innocent and delightful roles. He's clever, but naive, and he lacks a filter. He also either has no game or the best game in the world.

This comedic crime movie is a really fun one for Tom Hardy fans. Handsome Bob is a member of the "Wild Bunch," the gang lead by Gerard Butler and Idris Elba in Rocknrolla. He narrowly avoids a 5-year prison sentence, which ties into the film's overall plot about a snake in the grass. He's also gay - he starts out closeted but quickly adapts to playing it up very cheekily in front of his macho mates once they find out. Bob is a charming, popular, loyal and compassionate character, and his story involves a nice little low-key acceptance arc.

This Means War pits BFF against BFF when two CIA agents and best friends, Tuck and FDR, fall for the same woman without realizing it. Tom Hardy as Tuck is earnest, protective, and rather well-mannered: a genuine "nice guy" playing opposite Chris Pine's sexy womanizer character. He's a single dad and a loyal friend - Tuck and FDR truly consider each other family and their relationship is much deeper and more believable than most buddy comedies around. If you're like Tuck, you're quite romantic but also handy with a Glock.

This two-part British TV drama is one of a few period pieces that Tom Hardy did before casting directors started seeing him less as a pillow-lipped dandy and more as a bulked-up killing machine. Heathcliff, from Charlotte Bronte's Wuthering Heights, is an iconic literary figure, the poster boy for the tortured romantic hero. He shares a desperate, passionate love with Cathy, but then becomes consumed with hate and bitterness when she marries someone else. Hardy clearly had a more functional relationship with his co-star Charlotte Riley than Heathcliff did with Cathy - they're married now in real life!

"I am not this, and I am not them." In The Drop, Tom Hardy plays Bob Saginowski, a Brooklyn bartender whose workplace is frequently used by mobsters as a "drop" for dirty money.. Bob used to be a more active part of the criminal world himself, but nowadays he mostly wants to be left alone - but things aren't that easy, especially when the bar gets robbed one night. A large portion of The Drop involves Hardy bonding with a pit bull puppy that he finds, and with a girl, of course, played by Noomi Rapace. It's a classic crime drama where the lead character whats to make a better life for himself.
