NOOO! It looks like Tom Hardy is saying goodbye to acting for good

Well, that's crap.

Tom Hardy is gearing up for his latest movie to be released - but it seems after that he might be finished with acting for good. Right now he's surrounded by the hype for his role as Venom in the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe, but speaking to Esquire, he explained that he's reached his peak and doesn't want to go any further. Speaking about his acting career, he said: "You've summited Everest. It's a miracle that you've made it anywhere near the fucking mountain, let alone climbed it. "Do you want to go all the way back and do it again? Or do you want to get off the mountain and go f*cking find a beach? "What is it that draws you to the craft? At this age, I don't know anymore. I've kind of had enough. If I'm being brutally honest, I want to go on with my life," before adding, "What I'd like to do is produce. Write. Direct." Tom also explained that it can be draining on his personal life, saying that the intrusion into his family can be too much at times. "I will pose for you, and photos of me and my wife are fine, but if someone takes a photo of my kids, all bets are off. I will take the camera off you and beat the f*cking shit out of you," he adds. "That's the one that hurts. My kids didn't ask for what my job is. There's something that really upsets me about the imposition of a grown-up world on a child." We absolutely love Tom Hardy and think he's one of the best actors right now, but you can totally understand his point of wanting to let it all go.
