Jose Perez/Splash NewsTom Hardy knows how to tug at our heartstrings.
While shooting his upcoming film Animal Rescue in Brooklyn on Tuesday, a young fan dressed as Bane from The Dark Knight Rises caught the actor's attention. Doing what the charmer does best, Tom approached the little boy and struck a tough heroic pose with his mini me, causing us all to clutch our melted hearts.
This is not the first time the handsome actor has done something so precious it nearly kills us, though.
Earlier this month, the 31-year-old was photographed smooching a pit bull pup in New York on set of the same film.
So, if we're understanding this correctly, the Hollywood hunk has a tendency to show affection to cute things that pass his movie trailer? Um, be right back.
