Biography

Hardy married Sarah Ward in 1999, but the marriage ended in divorce in 2004. He has a son, Louis Thomas (born 2008), with then-girlfriend Rachael Speed, whom he dated from 2004 to 2009.

In 2009, Hardy began a relationship with actress Charlotte Riley, whom he met on the set of Wuthering Heights. The couple became engaged in 2010 and married in July 2014. They have two dogs, both rescues, one of which Hardy appeared with in a PETA advert to promote pet adoption. In October 2015, the couple welcomed their first child together.

In 2010, Hardy became an ambassador for the Prince's Trust, a leading UK youth charity which provides training, personal development, business start up support, mentoring and advice. In 2012, he and Riley became patrons of Bowel Cancer UK.

Hardy battled addictions to alcohol and crack cocaine in his early-to-mid-20s. He entered rehab and has been sober since 2003. Hardy has referred to Gary Oldman as "the greatest actor that's ever lived", and described Oldman as his hero, adding "everybody [at drama school] used to quote him in all of his films." Hardy was named one of GQ magazine's 50 best dressed British men in 2015.
