Tom Hardy raking in £80,000 a week thanks to Venom movies as his wealth leaps to £22million
TOM HARDY has seen his wealth jump to £22million after making more than £4million last year.
The Brit movie star’s earnings have been driven by his starring role in the US box office smash Venom films, which he also wrote and produced.
A third, imaginatively titled Venom 3, is set for release next year.
He is rumoured to be getting a £15million payday to star.
Over 12 months, Tom saw his wealth grow from £17.7million to £21.9million, according to accounts for 33 1/3rd Limited, the firm that handles his acting earnings.
That’s nearly £77,000 a week, more than twice the UK’s annual income.
After taxes of £2.2million and bills, the firm was left with £19.7million in the 12 months to the end of November last year.
Tom is among those tipped to get the James Bond gig, if that happens his current mega pay will look like small fry.
Choo ya think I’m sexy?
SIR Rod Stewart and Jools Holland wowed commuters as they delivered an impromptu performance at a railway station.
The pair and full band pulled off the stunt to plug their album Swing Fever.
In my exclusive chat with the stars in yesterday’s Bizarre, they told me how they had bonded over their love of model railways, so London’s St Pancras station was the perfect place to kick things off ahead of the record’s release in February.
Rod has also told how he “did a Cliff Richard” and turned down a chance to meet Elvis in the early Seventies because he was ill.
He added: “But I never got to.”
Jamie: I was close to death
JAMIE Foxx has revealed that after he was rushed to hospital in April he came so close to death that he “saw the tunnel”.
The actor, who has starred in Django Unchained and Ray, looked in good health as he returned to the limelight for the first time since the life-or-death drama for the Critics Choice Association event in Los Angeles on Monday.
Jamie told the crowd at the event: “I have been through some things. You know, it’s crazy. I couldn’t actually walk.
“I cherish every single minute now, it’s different, I have a new respect for life.
“I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy.
“I saw the tunnel. I didn’t see the light. It was hot in that tunnel. I didn’t know where I was going.”
He was rushed to hospital with a mystery medical emergency then spent time in a rehab centre which specialises in “strokes and brain injuries”.
Jamie is expected to return to screens in the New Year in the high energy movie Back In Action opposite Cameron Diaz, which he completed just before he was taken ill.
Can’t Keep up with Kim
SHE has been the butt of plenty of jokes over the years, with people asking: “What does Kim Kardashian actually do?”
But I’ve noticed she has kicked things into overdrive and now has one of the most ridiculously long CVs in showbiz.
Just this week, Kim has been cast in her biggest acting role yet, playing a lawyer who owns an all-female firm and has a handsome love interest – with producers hoping to find an A-list actor to play him.
As well as being one of the leading stars in the as yet untitled TV series, which will be shot next year, she will produce the project alongside Ryan Murphy, best known for making the shows Glee, American Horror Story and Dahmer.
It is just the latest string that Kim has added to her bow, having spent the past four years studying to become a lawyer.
Since launching her career on Keeping Up With The Kardashians in 2007, she has opened her own shop, released four books, dropped an admittedly awful single, become a successful model and even had her own video game.
More recently she has become a prison reform advocate, created multi-billion-pound clothing firm Skims, founded a private equity firm, launched a podcast and made a mint with skincare brand SKKN.
That’s all while juggling four kids, her demanding family, her current reality show The Kardashians and a very difficult ex-husband in Kanye West.
So I have to take my hat off to her. After years of people scoffing, she’s had the last laugh.
