Louis Thomas Hardy is the 16-year-old son of Tom Hardy and his ex-girlfriend Rachael Speed – the Marvel actor says he’s also his toughest critic
Tom Hardy’s rarely seen teenage son Louis Thomas Hardy joined his dad at the Venom: The Last Dance premiere in London on October 23, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Although they were pictured separately on the red carpet, fans couldn’t help but notice how much the 16-year-old looked like his dad in his younger years. With his soft blue eyes and sharp cheekbones, he bore a striking resemblance to the award-winning actor.
While his dad kitted himself out in an all-black ensemble, Louis kept his outfit cool and casual, opting for a denim jacket and jeans over Ugg boots, per the Daily Mail.
Who is Louis Thomas Hardy’s mother?
Louis Thomas Hardy is the son of Tom Hardy and his ex-girlfriend Rachael Speed. According to IMDB, she’s been an assistant director and also worked in the casting department on several British TV and film productions. Aside from that, not much is known about Speed, who has managed to keep a low profile.
His birth changed his dad’s life
When Louis was born in 2008, Hardy said it changed his mindset on a lot of things.
“It’s the best thing I could have wished for. I was very self-indulgent for a long time and I was only thinking about my own stupid stuff and myself,” he told Hello! magazine. “Having a child lifts you out of that selfish behaviour.”
