Tom Hardy. Academy award nominee? Check. Successful television producer? Check. One of the sexiest men alive? Check - according to People, Heat, and other glossy mags. Fan of obscure European MMA? Uh yeah, Check.
This week Hardy - star of The Revenant, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Dark Knight Rises, and Inception - went public with his support for Liverpool-based MMA fighter Jack McGann, who fights Levan Makashvili this weekend at EFN - Fight Nights Global 62 in Moscow, Russia. Hardy, who can currently be seen in the FX drama Taboo, took to Instagram yesterday to call on his fans to watch McGann compete on Friday.
