He's arguably now considered one of the most attractive actors in the world.

So it comes as no surprise that back in 1998, Tom Hardy was crowned the winner of a modelling competition on The Big Breakfast.

However, the actor is clearly embarrassed about his modelling past, as it has been reported that he felt like a 'total idiot' after Jonathan Ross showed footage of him taking first prize during an interview on his show.

Back in the day: Tom Hardy was apparently left embarrassed after footage of hm winning a modelling competition on The Big Breakfast was shown on Jonathan Ross

A source told The Sun: 'Tom really wasn't happy about the footage being shown and said he looked like a total idiot.

'When he walked off, Jonathan turned to the audience and said, "He is genuinely p****d off with me".'

According to fans in the audience, the interview continued to get even more awkward when Jonathan asked Tom about his role as Bane in Batman - a film which is shrouded entirely in secrecy.
