London-born actor Tom Hardy has stolen many ladies hearts and won over many movie connoisseurs with his astounding performances in movies ranging from Mad Max to the historical Dunkirk. But there’s much more to Tom Hardy than just being a famous actor and a heartthrob.

The actor has just shared the devastating news that his beloved pet dog Woodstock passed away – and people all over the world are saying they’re crying for the canine they ‘haven’t even met.’

Hardy was in a car when they nearly ran over the 11-week-old Woodstock. The famous actor decided to stop his car and go after him.

Since that moment, the two have been inseparable – remember, Hardy even attended the premiere of the film Legend back in 2015 with the famous dog by his side.

So, when Woodstock recently died of aggressive polymyositis after six years of companionship, Hardy was full of praise for his dog. “I am ultimately grateful for his loyal companionship and love, and it is of some great comfort that he is no longer suffering. Above all, I am completely gutted. The world for me was a better place with him in it and by my side.”

So next time you watch one of Tom Hardy’s movies, remember that he’s not just an image in your screen, he’s also a profound human being. Scroll down below to read the sad story for yourself.

    Tom, I grieved terribly when my Barney was taken away suddenly. I went almost nine months before finding another four-legged baby. But don't do that. Find another sweet fellow and he/she will help you get over your grief far better.

    My dog died April 15, 2016 at 9:06, and my family can't look at other dogs without thinking of her. I loved her till the end.

    There is not much in the world that compares to the love we feel for our dogs nor the pain we feel when they leave us. With each one of mine passing I would swear to never go through it again,that pain.But soon it lifts just enough to let yet another come into my life and I feel that special love only a dog can give.

    Same with me. A piece of me dies with every dog of mine that passed and I always says never again. But I always find another dog who needs me and who I need. Dogs rule. I'm glad Tom shared his story of Woodstock so he knows how many people understand how he feels. It's almost unbearable to lose a dog.

    "how lucky am I to have something that makes saying good-bye so hard". We don't deserve the purity of their love, and the grief is a small price to pay for it, for sure.
