Who is Louis Thomas Hardy?
Biography.com identifies Louis as Tom Hardy’s son and gives his full name as Louis Thomas Hardy. It reports that his mother is Rachel Speed and that he was born on April 8, 2008.

Who is his mother?
Biography.com spells her name Rachel Speed. A 2010 Guardian profile by Alice Fisher spells it Rachael Speed, describes her as an assistant director and Hardy’s former partner, and refers to their son Louis. The Guardian’s profile is contemporaneous reporting about Hardy, not a detailed biography of Louis.
What has Tom Hardy said publicly about Louis?
In an October 2, 2018 report, Entertainment Tonight recounted Hardy’s story that Louis advised him as he prepared to play the title character in Venom. ET reported that Louis was 10 at the time. Hardy said: “He told me what I was doing wrong and I was doing more things wrong than I was doing right because children are deeply honest.” Entertainment Tonight’s report covers the anecdote, rather than Louis’s life more broadly.

What is publicly known about Louis?
The available published reporting establishes his relationship to Tom Hardy, the reported name of his mother and birth date, and Hardy’s brief account of Louis’s candid feedback. It does not substantiate claims about Louis’s education, current circumstances, career or private life, so those details should not be assumed.
