If you're visiting Wales a picture at the top of Pen y Fan in the Bannau Brycheiniog or Brecon Beacons National Park is probably right at the top of your to do list. Now Hollywood actor Tom Hardy has had a go himself.

Sharing a photo with his adorable French Bulldog called Blue, Tom captioned the snap: “That time Blue nailed the [Fan] in the wet and cold #dogsdo #bestoffriends #teams #nodripormoan. Thankyou for being my little big wingman always.”

Tom is no stranger to Wales, as three years ago he shot the upcoming film Havoc, directed by Gareth Evans, in Cardiff. Not too much is known about the plot yet, but an official synopsis reads: “After a drug deal goes awry, a detective must fight his way through a criminal underworld to rescue a politician's estranged son, while untangling his city's dark web of conspiracy and corruption.”

In the new film, which is yet to be given a release date, Tom plays a character called Walker. Joining him in the cast is Timothy Olyphant (The Mandalorian), Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland) and Justin Cornwell.

While he was filming Havoc, Tom was spotted numerous times in and around Cardiff. You can read here about all the times the actor was snapped in Wales.
