Ranking Tom Hardy’s Weirdest, Wackiest Character Accents
By JOE ROBERTS
7. Lawless
In "Lawless," Tom Hardy plays bootlegger Forrest Bondurant, who clearly delights in rolling a toothpick across his teeth as he interacts with his co-stars.
He doesn't need to say anything to project an intimidating aura, but Hardy’s accent remains like many of his voices — convincing at times, silly at others, yet always compelling.
6. Legend
In "Legend," Hardy plays London's infamous Kray twins, Ronnie and Reggie. We got two Hardy accents for the price of one, and both of them were lovably weird.
As Reggie, the actor almost sounds like a teen, with a high-pitched cockney accent that sets him apart from twin brother Ron's more baritone intonation.
5. Peaky Blinders
Hardy’s character, Alfie Solomons, is one of his most compelling vocal performances as the leader of a Camden Town-based Jewish gang in “Peaky Blinders.”
Alfie steals almost every scene he's in, mostly due to the fact Hardy is clearly having a blast spitting over-the-top cockney-isms at his co-stars.
4. The Revenant
When Leo DiCaprio's character, Hugh Glass, is almost mauled to death by a bear, John Fitzgerald (Hardy) reveals himself to be a nasty piece of work.
Hardy’s accent is southern but like many of his vocal choices, where in the south remains a mystery. Through Fitzgerald's voice, he conveys a lifetime of struggle and hardship.
3. Fury Road
Hardy doesn't say much as Max Rockatansky in "Mad Max: Fury Road," but when his character does speak, it's a treat for aficionados of the man's ever-changing vocals.
At times, his needlessly complex accent evokes Mel Gibson and others, he has a South African inflection or just sounds straight-up British.
