5) Tom Hardy Is One Of Best Actors Working Right Now
Leonardo DiCaprio may be one of the best star actors around, but his Revenant co-lead is hands-down one of the best all-round, most chameolonic thesps in the world. Tom Hardy has, since breaking out in Bronson, been consistently terrific, even in bad movies, transforming himself with ease for each role he takes on. Every film fan is always on the lookout for the next Brando or De Niro, and with Hardy, we have it.
So while DiCaprio’s Oscar chances for The Revenant are good, no one should discount Hardy at this point, either. With average directors he’s great, but with great directors – likeIñárritu – he’s one of the best there is.
As the man who betrayed Hugh Glass, Hardy will have the chance to get his chops around yet another foreign accent and play his first true villain since Bane. Expect something very special.
