"It doesn't matter who you are. What matters is your plan."
~ Tom Hardy
Fabulous actor, Tom Hardy is known for his screen presence in movies such as Mad Max: Fury Road, Venom, Inception, Warrior, The Revenant, The Dark Knight Rises, and many more such gems.
About Tom Hardy's Real Height
Tom Hardy claims to be just five feet nine inches tall. Is he pulling our collective legs? Because he looks so big on the screen, bigger than a verified 5'9" guy like Joseph Gordon-Levit Brown, even bigger than a six feet tall guy like Christian Bale (though Tom was wearing lifts in The Dark Knight Rises) -- so we have to ask is Tom bluffing?
Likely as not. The movie camera has many tricks up its reeled sleeve (now digital). It can make grown men into hobbits, and it can also make a manlet like Danny Trejo (5'6") into big beefy guy (not to say Danny Trejo isn't a beefy guy -- he just isn't tall).
Anyway, after looking at Tom Hardy and comparing his height to that of Leonardo DiCaprio (5'11½") Christian Bale (6"), Nicholas Hoult (6'2¾"), etc, we think that Tom knows his own height better than many celebrities know their height.
He is one of those examples of how you don't need to be tall to appear big (Tom is a big guy though -- just not tall), or to have a larger-than-life personality and be attractive.
