Tom Hardy can't hide his pride as he receives CBE from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace

Tom Hardy beamed as he received his prestigious CBE from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace.

The 41-year-old Venom actor looked dapper as he collected the award on Friday for his services to drama in a sleek classic navy suit and matching tie.

He teamed the look with classic brogues and slicked back hair.

Hardy rose to fame on the big screen, best known for films including Inception, Mad Max: Fury Road, Bronson and The Dark Knight Rises.

He became an ambassador for The Princes Trust in 2010 and is believed to have become good friends with Prince Harry over the years, famously calling him a “f****** legend” in an interview with Esquire.

The Hollywood superstar earned wide-spread approval from fans earlier this year after he revealed that he’s tracked down the moped thief he helped catch in 2017.

Hardy chased down and helped snare a moped thief after pursuing him through gardens and across a building site in south west London.

A witness said the Hollywood actor “switched into superhero mode” as he collared the man before checking him for weapons after the chase.

One witness claimed he declared: "I caught the c***."

He later told Esquire how he targeted the youngster in a bid to put him on the right track.

Speaking to the publication, Hardy said: “He must stand accountable for what he’s done.

“But he’s got issues, and he’s in a bad way. Do we just give up on a sixteen-year-old?”
