"Mad Max: Fury Road" star Tom Hardy is going to be a father again. The British actor and his wife, Charlotte Riley, graced the red carpet in London this week for the premiere of his latest movie, "Legend," and surprised everyone when she showed up with a baby bump.
This will be the second child for the actor, who has a seven-year-old son named Louis with ex-girlfriend Rachel Speed, according to the Los Angeles Times. But the new baby is a first for the couple, who has been married since June 2014.
The couple, who are very private about their personal lives, are also dog parents to two rescues. Tom even became a spokesperson for PETA for their campaign on pet adoption, according to Hollywood Life.
"I'm the finder of dogs, you know what I mean?" the actor told E! News once during an interview. "My missus [Charlotte], she's like, 'You're not allowed to bring another dog back from a job.' But I'll always find one. On every job we go on, I'll either find someone's dog and look after it, or I'll take my own dog, or I find a dog and we home it. I do find dogs."
Tom, 37, met Charlotte, 33, in 2009 during the filing of the miniseries "Wuthering Heights." They were engaged a year later and wedded in France after four years.
Meanwhile, Variety is reporting that Tom Hardy is a favorite choice to become the next James Bond after the current actor playing the character since 2006, Daniel Craig, is set to end his run. Craig reportedly expressed that the upcoming James Bond film, "Spectre," is his last in the franchise.
"I have a life and I've got to get on with it a bit. But we'll see," he told Esquire.
Bookers have put the odds in favor for Tom against other top favorites like Idris Elba and Damian Lewis.
"The next James Bond market has certainly come alive with all the support coming in for Tom Hardy, who is now 4-1 from 6-1 to take over from Daniel Craig," said Liam Glynn of BoyleSports, an online booking agency via Variety. "With the support showing no signs of drying up, we are expecting Tom Hardy to be the new favorite for the role sooner rather than later, which could result in BoyleSports being hit hard if Hardy lands the role."
Other names cropping up the list include Michale Fassbender, Henry Cavill, Orlando Bloom, Richard Armitage, Rupert Friend, Dominic West and Dougray Scott.
