Tom Hardy looks back on becoming a father

Tom Hardy is private about his personal life. But in a throwback interview, he reflected on raising his three kids,

"Being a father has given me the kind of purpose that makes you think more carefully about how you live your life," the Peaky Blinders star told HELLO! in 2015.

"I made a lot of mistakes, and I put my mum and dad through a lot because they were so worried about me," the actor said. 

"I take great pride in being a father and make sure I'm there for him and helping him as he makes his way in the world."

Tom previously said his son Louis played a key part in his movie Venom. "He was pretty much in the driving seat for a lot of it, and I did use him as my anthology and my mythology wizard."

"He told me what I was doing wrong, and I was doing more things wrong than I was doing right, because children are deeply honest. He was my little spirit guide in that aspect," the actor told EW.

Tom shares his son Louis with ex-girlfriend Rachel Speed and a daughter and son Forrest with his wife Charlotte Riley.
