Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on September 15, 1977)

Happy birthday, Tom Hardy! Whether bending minds in "Inception," terrorizing Gotham as Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises," or grunting ominously through entire scenes as Alfie Solomons—we always appreciate your talent to portray intimidating yet oddly charming characters. You're the only man tough enough to make wearing a mask look genuinely cool across multiple roles.

Keep captivating us with that intense glare and fearless charisma, because there's no one else we'd prefer holding our popcorn hostage. Here's to another year of unforgettable adventures—on-screen and off! Just don't invade our dreams or plot world domination quite yet. Enjoy your special day!
