‘Venom’ Star Tom Hardy Given CBE Honor By Prince Charles

Venom star Tom Hardy has received many accolades throughout his career, including an Academy Award-nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance in The Revenant. Now, Hardy has received a coveted honor from Prince Charles and has become a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE).

Hardy was honored as CBE  by the Prince of Wales in a ceremony for the 2018 Queen’s Birthday Honours for his services to drama.

Hardy is personal friends with Princes William and Harry and attended the Royal Wedding of Prince Hary and Meghan Markle earlier this year. Hardy filmed a cameo along with both Princes William and Harry as Stormtroopers in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. These cameos were ultimately cut from the film.

Meanwhile, you can watch Tom Hardy in his latest blockbuster, Venom.

Directed by Ruben Fleischer from a script by Jeff Pinkner & Scott Rosenberg and Kelly Marcel, the film stars Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze, Reid Scott, Jenny Slate, Ron Cephas Jones, and Woody Harrelson.

One of Marvel’s greatest and most complex characters takes center stage as Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) becomes the host for the alien symbiote Venom. As a journalist, Eddie has been trying to take down the notorious founder of the Life Foundation, genius Carlton Drake (Riz Ahmed) – and that obsession ruined his career and his relationship with his girlfriend, Anne Weying (Michelle Williams).

Upon investigating one of Drake’s experiments, the alien Venom merges with Eddie’s body, and he suddenly has incredible new superpowers, as well as the chance to do just about whatever he wants. Twisted, dark, unpredictable, and fueled by rage, Venom leaves Eddie wrestling to control dangerous abilities that he also finds empowering and intoxicating. As Eddie and Venom need each other to get what they’re looking for, they become more and more intertwined — where does Eddie end and Venom begin?

Venom is now playing.
