AN A-list Hollywood actor was spotted shopping at a Pokémon market in Brighton – but would you have been able to recognise him in the crowds?
A TikTok user shared a snap of the star, 48, looking around a gymnasium in a white cap and glasses.
Molly Wheatley, user name @xo_mxlly_ox, captioned the snap: “That’s just a random man in a white hat…”
But then in the next slide she revealed exactly who it was, as she posed for a picture with none other than Tom Hardy.
Fans rushed to the comments section to swoon over the Venom star, with one writing: “WOAH.”
Another said: “my jaw hit the floor.”
“I knew it was him before the second picture. I KNOW THAT HANDSOME MAN FROM A MILE OFF,” a third chimed in.
A fourth added: “Idk you but I hate you!!”
A fifth chimed in: “I would simply keel over.”
A sixth joked: “He is a pretty good tom hardy look alike tbf.”
Tom, who was born in Hammersmith, London, is a well known English actor who has starred in a number of popular films and TV shows since shooting to fame in the late 90s.
Some of his movie roles include in Star Trek: Nemesis, RocknRolla, Bronson, Warrior, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Mad Max: Fury Road, Dunkirk, Venom, Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Bikeriders and Havoc.
Meanwhile he’s also been in Wuthering Heights, Peaky Blinders, Taboo, Oliver Twist, and most recently MobLand.
He has also won the Rising Star Award at the British Academy Film Awards in 2011, as well as the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Actor in an Action Movie in 2015.
And fans will be over the moon to know that Tom is reprising his role as Harry Da Souza on MobLand, after it was said that the hunky actor had been fired from the Paramount+ hit.
Deadline confirmed the integral cast – which is also made up of Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren – will remain for the third instalment, and that includes Tom.
And last month The Sun exclusively revealed a world-exclusive first look at the upcoming action.
