So, to celebrate Tom Hardy’s 47th birthday, let's take a look at five of his best roles that showcase his talent and where you can watch the movies online.

Ivan Locke ('Locke')

In a role that would be perhaps a nightmare for anyone else, Tom Hardy does wonders in his turn as Ivan Locke. In a film that sees a person in a car have conversations with different individuals through a speakerphone, Hardy nails it over here. With various expressions across his face and an emotional and gripping depth to it all, this is one of his best roles. Locke is streaming on Prime Video.

Tommy Riordan Conlon ('Warrior')

With a story about two brothers facing off against each other in an MMA match, Hardy brought his a-game to Warrior. Playing the role of Tommy, Hardy provided an emotionally charged performance that definitely played to his strengths and provided for great chemistry with Joel Edgerton. Warrior is streaming on Prime Video.

John Fitzgerald ('The Revenant')

It’s very hard to go toe-to-toe against Leonardo DiCaprio, but Tom Hardy made that look effortless with his performances as Fitzgerald. Playing the antagonist of the film, Hardy provides a ruthless performance that definitely saw him turn into a completely different person. The Revenant is streaming on Prime Video. Venom - The Last Dance Trailer: Did You Notice This Scene That Connects Tom Hardy's Film Back to MCU's Spider-Man No Way Home?

Max Rockatansky ('Mad Max: Fury Road')

The fourth entry in George Miller’s Mad Max franchise, Hardy would replace Mel Gibson in the role. Now to make yourself seem crazier than Gibson is almost impossible, but Hardy still is somehow able to match his energy and give this Road Warrior the modern interpretation he deserves. Mad Max: Fury Road is streaming on JioCinema and Netflix.

Bane ('The Dark Knight Rises')

Fighting Batman and taking over Gotham in Christopher Nolan’s epic conclusion to The Dark Knight Trilogy, Hardy provides a menacing performance. Emoting behind a mask throughout the entire film, the actor portrays emotions as clearly as day and still comes off as extremely intimidating when on screen. The Dark Knight Rises is streaming on JioCinema and Netflix.

Tom Hardy is clearly a true talent of this generation, and we can’t wait to see what he does next. With this, we finish off the list and wish him a very happy birthday.
