    I respect actors/actresses who are open and speak about their addiction. It's not only very brave, but thoughtful of them. People have such horrible opinions about addicts, especially those in the spotlight. It's nice to have people willing to educate.

    I agree hes definitely in my top 5 favorite actors, but besides his performances, its the fact that he was an addict prior and during his acting career, (Now for those of you who are addicts or were, you can understand how difficult it was for Hardy to pursue his dream while battling his addiction, and for those who never were addicts, i tip my hat to you, but its very difficult for those to understand what will power it took Hardy to not only rid himself of addiction but to push himself beyond to the point where his dream became a reality.) that i resonate with him a lot. I was always a dreamer, when my boys were getting union jobs in Queens (where i was born and raised) they would laugh at me or tease me for even thinking i can become an actor, one of my boys wanted to do it too but because of our environment he was discouraged, But like Hardy says "Never give up on your dreams" because even if they dont pan out, worse case scenario you/i end up like all my boys who are working for unions doing manual labor, n let me say manual labor will make you realize how good you had it n how bad life can be when you choose a wrong path. Thats why if I'm unable to be an actor, I'll just be a full-time dreamer lol until i break thru. Jeremy Renner, another guy in my top 5, he was the lead in National lampoons senior trip around the mid 90s, after that he couldn't book an audition for 20 YEARS, than he finally got that role in SWAT, than he did the Town, Hurt Locker than the Bourne Legacy, Avengers, American Hustle etc. Point being that he never gave up on his dream even if it took him the 20 years that it did, and with all the movie roles hes been killing, hes now a permanent fixture in Hollywood an A- list actor. So once again NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM!

    At about 1:55 when the piano music kicks in in the background onwards is the best part of the video. Especially when Kenny asks "so what is your proudest moment then?" to which Tom replies "probably sitting here with you, mate" was heartwarming. Two ex addicts who've changed and done something constructive and inspiring with their lives, and when Tom says their 'personal Everests' which they had to climb themselves & no one else could see or knew what they were going through. It's a great video and great showcase of the human spirit and how powerful it is.

    Tom Hardy is a refreshing breath of air as far as celebrities go! The rest of Hollywood sorely needs a dose of humility. Too often, they become jaded while mired in their own world of self-importance. When something like People Magazine panders to celebrities, like an article calling some big star "The World's Greatest Dad" despite the fact that they're a first time parent at the age of 50, with a newborn. I think the public needs more exposure with celebrities who are humble. After all, they earn their exorbitantly outrageous salaries pretending to be someone else. Some of them even have the nerve to expect awards for their recognition.

And I appreciate others, like Kenny Ross, who make a good journey after going through the chaos and strife and self-indulgence. The afterlife is tricky. It takes many different types for the many different types, even though there are many similarities.
