Tom Hardy drops in on Royal Marines preparing for charity abseil
Hollywood actor Tom Hardy, dropped in on Royal Marines training brave volunteers at a London climbing centre as part of their preparations to abseil down the iconic BT Tower, the venue for a nail-biting 138-metre charity abseil to raise money for Sport Relief and the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.
British born actor Tom Hardy, whose films include Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Dark Knight Rises and Inception, is an avid supporter of the Royal Marines, particularly since visiting the Commando Training Centre in Devon last year.
Speaking from the Castle Climbing Centre in North London, Tom said:
I know this year the Royal Marines are commemorating their 350th anniversary and I wanted to show my support to these elite professionals. I only came along to make tea for the guys but I suppose it was inevitable that I would end up on the end of a rope!
