Tom Hardy 'steals' co-stars hairTom Hardy has joked that he is “holding onto” his co-star Guy Pearce’s hair.

The British actor has been sporting a healthy head of hair and bushy beard in recent months. The change to his appearance is in preparation for his role in Mad Max: Fury Road.

Tom is currently at the Cannes Film Festival, where he is promoting the crime drama Lawless with Guy.

In the movie, about a group of bootleggers during the Depression in America, Guy appears to be lacking eyebrows. Tom has quipped that his co-star donated the facial hair to him for his upcoming film role.

“I have his hair. I’m holding onto it,” he laughed to Empire.

Guy has backed up Tom’s story, insisting he was happy to help out his co-star.

“It’s true, Tom’s got it. He’s stuck it on his face,” he smiled.

Tom has sported a host of different looks for movie roles.

In the hotly-anticipated The Dark Knight Rises, he bulked up and shaved his head to play the villainous Bane. In Lawless, he has short hair and sculpted facial hair.
