Actor Tom Hardy has sent fans into a frenzy after the Hollywood star was spotted across the North East during the festive period.
As many people have been spending time with family over Christmas, it seems like the Legend, Peaky Blinders, and Venom star is no different after numerous people saw the actor milling around Teesside on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.
As people were doing their pre-Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve and post-Christmas relaxation on Boxing Day, several people were lucky enough to bump into the star on their travels and have got the photo to prove it.

The actor was first spotted on Christmas Eve in the Smyths Toy Superstore on Portrack Lane in Stockton – which saw a select few talk to him and get a snap with the A-lister.
This was then followed up on Boxing Day when two lucky Boots workers were pictured with Tom in Teesside Park.
Wearing a cap on both occasions, maybe Tom was hoping to avoid the limelight – but on both occasions, his big grin suggested that he was more than happy to speak to fans and have a picture with them.
