Bad Boy
Life hasn’t always been as sweet for Hardy as it would seem to be now. In his teens, Hardy abused alcohol, got expelled from school, spent nights in jail for disorderly conduct, and was even arrested for stealing a car and gun possession. (Hardy avoided hard time since his partner-in-crime was the son of a British diplomat.) Even after Hardy achieved some success in acting, he still faced his demons.
