MySpace Tom Hardy and a killer Mother of the Week — Plus Dakan, the first gay West African film
That arch alone changed the course of Myspace.
Hi! David here.
Tom Hardy is back in MobLand season two, but you know who I want to see more of? Tom Hardy from Myspace.
Anyone else remember the unhinged, undeniably sexy pics Tom shared before he became famous? I sure do.
I really wish he'd get up in my space sometime.
While we're strolling down memory lane, do you remember when Tom was asked if he's ever got hardy with men?
"Of course I have," Tom replied. "I'm an actor for fuck's sake. I've played with everything and everyone."
"Everyone" doesn't include me yet sadly so all I can do is stare wistfully at pictures of Tom and cute puppies like this one.
It's hard seeing small dogs live the life you want.
