Tom Hardy Religion
Tom Hardy has never spoken about his faith in public. There was one time where he said that "dog" spelled backwards is "God" but that is the only remote mention of faith we could find. He is of Irish and English descent and the only son to Edward and Anne Hardy. He was born in Hammersmith, London but was raised in East Sheen, London. If we were to take a guess, it'd be that he is Christian, keep in mind, it's only a guess.
Tom Hardy Political Views
Tom Hardy has never said anything that is political in the tradition sense and the lack of an official Twitter profile doesn't help either. In fact, he does not have any social media accounts that we know of as of yet. He does love animals, especially dogs and has spoken out against poaching. One of his dogs appeared in a 2012 PETA campaign that encouraged people to adopt instead of buying.
