Tom Hardy, the well-known Hollywood actor, has recently surprised fans with a hidden talent – his rap career. Despite his fame from blockbuster movies like Mad Max and Venom, Hardy has been secretly involved in the hip-hop scene for over two decades under the alias Frankie Pulitzer.
Back in 1999, before his acting career took off, Hardy collaborated with writer and director Edward Tracey, also known as Eddie Too Tall, to create an 18-track mixtape titled Falling on Your A**e. This marked the beginning of his music journey, showcasing his rapping skills while Edward provided the beats. Although they were offered a record deal, Tom’s agent advised him to focus on acting instead of music.
Over the years, Hardy’s mixtape resurfaced, with the latest appearance on Bandcamp in 2018, sparking interest in a potential tour. He later transitioned to the name Frankie Pulitzer, even as his acting career soared. In 2021, Czarface, a hip-hop group, featured music in their album that was also part of the movie Venom: Let There Be Carnage, in which Tom starred.
Despite never officially confirming his alter ego, Hardy dropped hints on his social media, including the text ‘Face Puller’ in his Instagram bio. Fans were further convinced of his rap career when Czarface released a track in late 2023 featuring a mystery artist with a British accent, suspected to be Tom Hardy.
Social media erupted with excitement as fans discovered this hidden talent of the versatile actor. A tweet revealing Hardy’s rap career garnered nearly a million views and thousands of likes, showcasing the public’s shock and admiration for his musical abilities. Clips of Hardy rapping in the late ’90s studio further solidified his credibility as Frankie Pulitzer.
The unexpected revelation of Tom Hardy’s rap career has added a new layer to his already impressive repertoire, captivating a whole new generation of fans. With his undeniable talent in both acting and music, Hardy continues to surprise and delight audiences worldwide, proving that true talent knows no bounds.
