Tom Hardy is a man for all seasons. Just like most human beings, his skin can withstand both water and sunshine, making him perfect for both outside and inside tasks. Luckily for Tom, his skin seems to be in slightly better nick than both ours at HM and possibly yours, unless we've completely misjudged our readership (it's something we do fairly regularly. Usually on purpose so we can post up one of our titian temptresses), which means he shows it off at every opportunity, and as much of it as possible. 

Unfortunately for Tom someone seems to have drawn crude and mostly unintelligible patterns all over him with a black Sharpie, detracting from his manly semi-naked radiance a bit, although not enough to stop you pervs looking at him as if you would like nothing more than to put him in a sandwich with you as both the bread and the majority of the salad. He's the meat by the way, for anyone who didn't get the unnecessarily overt sexual metaphor.

The actual reason for these snaps however is his role in Batman: The Dark Knight Rises as Bane, Batman's arch nemesis, on the set of which these pictures have been taken. It's looking like Christopher Nolan's making him stick to canon with this character. Still, don't let his promising acting career stop you from whatever degrading activity you're engaging in. He's just an object, remember. And a bloody big one at that.

You women. Sometimes I wonder.
