Tom Hardy has subtly addressed a long-standing rumour that he has undergone a secret cosmetic procedure to alter his appearance. Many fans of The Dark Knight Rises actor have been convinced that the 47-year-old had a hair transplant—and now he’s broken his silence on the matter.

Tom discussed his hair during a viral interview with Hits Radio UK host Will Best, 40. During the chat, the Celebrity Big Brother co-presenter revealed that he believed he and Tom actually had a “few things in common”.

However, before learning what paired him and Will together, the father-of-two cut in, telling Will that he was impressed by the clothes he’d chosen to conduct the interview in. “I like your socks…I do like your jumper as well actually,” the icon remarked.

“Are you ‘77? You look good on it man. You look better than I do.” “I wouldn’t say that,” replied Will, before the Peaky Blinders favourite continued. “Got your own hair and everything. I’ve got someone else’s.”

The ITV star remarked that he thought Tom’s hair was “beautiful”. He added: “They might want it back, it’s that good.”

It’s unclear whether or not Tom, who was born Edward Thomas Hardy, used the interview to confirm whether or not he’d had a transplant, or if he was just joking with his interviewer.
