It's tragic, but not unsurprising. There are, after all, characters of Tom Hardy's roaming around here, if she recalls. It's definitely not the first time that she's had to explain a hot actor to a friend in Darrow, and it certainly won't be the last. "Like... 2010ish? Maybe? Great year for film, let me tell you. But Tom? Oh, Tom. He's in, like, Batman? You know the Batman film with Heath Ledger? Not that one. The one after that. He played the guy with the mask. Still hot, somehow."
