Tom Hardy on playing Elton John in biopic: "I can't hold a tune to save my life"

Tom Hardy with Sir Elton John

I recently reported here that Tom Hardy was cast in the upcoming bio-pic of Elton John's life.

And yes - Tom is cast as Elton.  Hardly type-casting, but who cares?

Tom recently revealed in an interview that singing isn't his strongest suit. When asked if he’d be doing the singing he said:

“Yeah, I hope so. Otherwise I’ll have probably failed, right? But that’s terrifying me. I can’t hold a tune to save my life.”

I have no worries.  Tom is a formidable and creative actor, no matter what he does.

Plus, I can always turn down the volume and just watch.

That face.  Sigh...
