From Child 44

From Child 44 (I'm not totally sure, but I think this might be from the scene discussed in this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2619700/MOS-DIARY-Not-Hardy-man-Locke-star-Tom-starts-crying-no-reason-set.html#ixzz30iCvHyQo%20)

From Warrior

LOVE this. Love Hardy. One of the greatest actors out there, and has done some nice crying scenes.
I'm surprised to see him looking teary in Child 44 (and to read about him bursting into tears while filming it). I've seen the movie twice, and don't remember him crying.
Great scene in Tinker, Tailor... (great movie, period).
Warrior is an amazing movie, and very emotional, with superb performances from Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte.
Hardy also has good crying scenes in Locke (driving AND crying and talking on the phone) and Wuthering Heights. (I've posted both here previously).
There's also his Kleenex ad, which is adorable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYhIb28Fo8U

Thanks, Squonk!

The scene from Locke that you posted is one of my all-time favorites; it's a really touching and interesting film, with an amazing central performance from Hardy. The Wuthering Heights scene and the Kleenex ad are both amazing, in very different ways. (Talk about versatility!)

I remember really enjoying Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy, when I saw it in the theater -- so many great actors. I haven't seen Warrior yet, but I've definitely been meaning to.

Have you seen Legend? I wonder if there are any good scenes in that film . . .

One of the things that I love about Tom Hardy is that I look at each of his films and think "Oh my God, I can't believe that's the same guy." Well, in Legend, he does two performances in the SAME FILM where you think "Oh my God, I can't believe it's the same guy."
No crying, but definitely worth seeing for his performance(s).
I also highly recommend Stuart: A Life Backwards, where he plays a homeless, schizophrenic drug addict with muscular dystrophy. He did this around the same time as Wuthering Heights. Mind blowing.

Much as I love Warrior and want everyone to see it, I don't want to oversell the crying. The above GIF of Hardy constitutes his crying in the film and it's very brief. Joel Edgerton gets teary, but that's it. Nick Nolte DOES have a great breakdown. That said, it's still a very emotional film.
And the last GIF posted above is from Oliver Twist.

Welcome, secondlytwo!
Thanks so much for finding the source of that last GIF, Squonk! I checked around a little, but I really had no idea where to begin.

If you right-click on a photo, "Search Google for image" is a very cool option.

I'm sure it will solve many GIF related mysteries in the future.

I wish his taste in movies to make were more in line with my taste in movies to watch, because I don't want to watch really any of these movies but I want to see all those scenes.
