Tom Hardy reads bedtime stories: 7 more we want to hear

Tom Hardy is known for playing dark and twisty, action-packed characters. He was Bane in Dark Knight Rises and Max in Mad Max: Fury Road, for goodness sake. So he’s obviously the perfect guy to read a bedtime story, right?

Well, he keeps doing it, so it must be true. Hardy first graced fans with his take on bedtime tales on special occasions like New Year’s Eve and later Valentine’s Day. And the reason for his latest literary delight? None other than Mother’s Day, which was celebrated on March 26 in the United Kingdom this year.

The Taboo star’s third outing as part of BBC’s CBeebies Bed Time Stories saw him read aloud from Ross Collins’ There’s a Bear on My Chair, which you can see a brief clip of below.
