1 THE PART WHERE HE’S NOT THERE
Tom Hardy’s trailer is stationed in the car park of a film studio on the outskirts of Cardiff. It’s one of the flashier kind, with a kitchenette and seated area and some other rooms at the back I don’t see which presumably contain a toilet and a bed or, I don’t know, chaise longue. The seated area has a wipe clean, upholstered bench down one side, which I’m sitting on, and a white leatherette armchair in the opposite corner which, it must be said, has the slight quality of a throne. There are letterbox windows high up on either side, a flat-screen TV on the wall, and a strange mirrored panel in the ceiling. There is a bag of sweets on the table by the chair, and some bumper packs of chewing gum, and no other notable items to report besides a dog bed and two dog bowls on the floor, which have a blingy, coppery finish that draws the eye.
It’s the kind of trailer—and they are the kind of dog bowls—you’d hope would be made available to one of our most-beloved actors who, in a poll earlier this year, was voted the number one ‘male British film star of the 21st century’. However, there is one thing that is conspicuously lacking from Tom Hardy’s trailer and that is Tom Hardy.
