Everywhere I turn I see the words 'Don't touch Lola'. I think this is what insanity feels like

An interview with Tom about TTSS (and a good excuse to post this pic - they are such GOOD friends after all):
Q. I imagine the appeal of playing Ricki Tarr was many-fold?Tom Hardy: Well, it’s funny because I knew nothing about it until I’d read the script and I hadn’t read the script until I’d met Tomas Alfredson [director] and he asked me and then explained the world of it. So, I wanted to work with Tomas and Gary Oldman and John Hurt and Colin Firth and Toby Jones and Benedict Cumberbatch, who is a good friend, and Stephen Graham and everybody that’s involved. So, that was really the appeal of it – if it had been a shopping list I’d have been in there [laughs]! It just so happened to be an extraordinary piece of modern literature that’s been turned into a fantastic script with a director who contains such a wealth of knowledge and understanding of his world and what he wants to create.
He truly has a vision which, for an actor, is very rare to meet a director like that unless you’re very fortunate. It takes an abundance of effort off your shoulders. The only trouble I had through any of it was sitting opposite Gary Oldman and trying to not watch him while I was trying to do my work because I was fascinated by him doing his [laughs].
Q. Did you enjoy the challenge of conveying so much with looks and gestures rather than relying on an overly verbose script? It’s a minimalist style that Tomas employs…Tom Hardy: Not really that’s the job in many ways. I’ve heard through the grapevine that film captures thought and you fill in the gap… plot point, plot point, plot point. You can operate on a big blank canvas and convey thoughts that the camera will then pick up… as it will also put on several pounds of weight! [Laughs] There are certain things that a camera will do for you.
Q. Did you enjoy exploring the psychology behind the novel – that a great spy is often a failed human being?Tom Hardy: I haven’t read the book. I’m not a big reader of any books. My father has read all of John Le Carre’s books but as I was growing up I sort of did a complete U-turn away from academia in any way, shape or form and decided that I was going to be a sportsman. So, I got that wrong as well! But I’m an armchair psychologist, I suppose, and I like to kind of sit around and guess and pretend I know what’s going on. So, I think we’re all flawed human beings and we all have a cauldron of psychosis which we have to unravel as we grow older and find the way we fit in to live our lives as best as possible. But when you put that into a life or profession whereby people’s lives depend on whether your cover is good enough or not and you’re a flawed human being underneath it, the layers are obviously more intricately layered and are therefore incandescently interesting to an actor who likes to guess.
Q. How does it feel to be Tom Hardy at the moment? I mean, you’re incredibly in demand, you’re in some of the biggest and most critically acclaimed films of the moment…Tom Hardy: It’s a good year, it’s a good day, and it will inevitably end in some sort of crash at some point, won’t it? Careers oscillate, everybody breathes in and out, so I’m sure I’ll flop at some point. But today is a good day [laughs].
Q. So, what can we expect from your next role, as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises?Tom Hardy: Nothing, you can’t expect anything from me [smiles].
Q. But you’re obviously getting to work with Christopher Nolan again. How do you enjoy that?Tom Hardy: Amazing! I love Chris Nolan, I’d do anything for him pretty much. I’d whack someone for Chris Nolan!
Q. Aren’t you whacking Batman?Tom Hardy: What are you on about? No, I mean I would actually whack someone [laughs].](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lri9a91o6F1qe5f96o1_500.png)

Instyle April 2008 page_118
Your name is very grow-up.
“It sounds like a fart in a bath,does’t it? The Americans love it.I get a lot of, ‘Your name is crazy’. I used to get called Cumbi a lot, which I didn’t like, but then Robert Carlyle told me that Cumbies are feared Glaswegian gangsters. So I warmed to it.”
A lot of the characters you play are very brainy. How clever are you?
“It’s flattering to be asked to play intelligent people, although I can’t cast myself in the same light as Stephen Hawking, I’m clever enough to know that I’m not that clever.”
You play Scarlett Johansson’s husband in The Other Boleyn Girl. How was it?
“My friends think it’s a joke that I should be so lucky. But we had to film a sex scene where my character is very in experienced, so they’re mildly comforted that at least I was playing a bad lover.”
Are you enjoying the more glamorous side of your job?
“Well, it’s really thrilling being on the red carpet, althouge completely nerve-racking. I’m not particularly good in large crowds. All those bright lights can feel a bit daunting.”
Do you enjoying getting all togged up?
“I wore an Armani tuxedo for the Atonement premiere in London. I have never worn something that smart before and it felt amazing. I really felt like somebody.”
Away from the glitz, where will we find you?
“Unpacking. My girlfriend and I have just moved into a new flat, so it’s chaos. I’ve even got my old school socks on [complete with his name tag sewn on the inside] as they were the only ones I could find.”
You went to Harrow. How did you find boarding school?
“I loved it. It was like having a family of little brothers. Saying that, I’d never send my son to boarding school unless it was mixed-sex. Ite gave me absolutely no experience of girls, which made them seem quite frightening.”
Who were your pin-ups?
“Kate Moss was all the rage in our dorm. Helena Christensen as well. I thought she was the bee’s knees. We used to flick through glossy magazines and cut out all the pictures of women we fancied.”What’s sexy on a woman?
“Not that much make-up and an attitude that shines through any style sense.”
What were you in to when growing up?
“I got quite obesessed by the film Cool Hand Luke, which put me on to Paul Newman. I became a massive fan after that. I love that era.”
Where do you shop for clothes these days?
“I really like American Apparel. Their stuff is for people who are conscious of ethically made clothes and I like the simplicity. They cover the essentials so well.”
How much thought goes into your outfits?
“I ride my white Vespa GT 125 around town, which slightly limits what you can wear. You don’t want to be doing 60mph on the Westway in an expensive suit.”
If you were’t an actor, you’d be…
“A barrister. I thought it would be a good way to train my brain. But, like acting, it’s oversubscribed. You’re not going to get much of a look-in unless you blow them away with a double first.”
—————————————————————————————————
SHOES “I live in my Converse All Star trainers. It’s quite hard on your body if you’re clomping about in hard shoes all day.”MUSIC “I’ve been listening to the soundtrack to the film Birth [Alexandre Desplat, New Line Records]. If you’re feeling blue, listen to this. It makes you feel as if there are flowers coming out of the cracks in the pavements.”
DRINK “I love a glass of red wine at home, but when I’m out, I’ll probably drink a Jack Daniel’s and ginger.”
KEYS “I can’t stop feeling my new house keys. It sounds bizarre, but I like having them in my pocket.”

NEED PROOF. NEED EVIDENCE. WHATEVER IS FINE.
HOLY FUCK BALLS!
I´ve done this yesterday afternoon. No great concept, no interesting composition, just a lot of hatching. I wish I´d had more time!
Explains itself, hopefully xD
