Biography of Ben Hardy
Ben Hardy is an English actor who is known as Angel in the superhero film X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) and a drummer of Queen, Roger Taylor, in the biographical film Bohemian Rhapsody (2018).
The actor isn't Tom Hardy's relative - they are just namesakes.
Childhood and Early Life
Ben Jones (Hardy) was born in a resort town of Bournemouth, Dorset, on January 2, 1991. Ben's father, an employee of an assurance company, and his mother who was a housewife separated and it put the family in a complicated position. Ben, his younger brother, and sister stayed with their mother and grandmother who lived in a small town of Sherborne.
Back in school, Ben was good at sports and exact sciences and wanted to be an engineer but one situation changed everything. When Hardy was in high school, he portrayed a sergeant, Francis Troy, in the screen version of the book Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy. A school teacher who didn't have any experience in the film industry directed the film. She made her debut film by using only one camera and her pupils served as actors.
When Ms. Clarke offered this idea, we thought it was a joke, an 18-year-old Ben Jones said in one of his interviews. But we all said yes, and it turned out great. Participation in that project helped him to make a final decision about acting career. Afterward, Hardy graduated with honors the London Central School of Speech & Drama with a major in Acting.
Acting Career
In 2012, Ben Hardy received a role in a play The Judas Kiss by David Hare in which a famous British actor, Rupert Everett (Grigoriy Melekhov in the TV show Quiet Flows the Don by Sergey Bondarchuk), also played. The play had great success and took place at the London Hampstead Theatre for two months. Later, the actors had a short tour around England. Critics and viewers alike loved the play - special attention was given to Hardy who was naked in some scenes.
In spring of 2013, Hardy received the role of Peter Beale in the British soap opera EastEnders by BBC. The soap opera, which has been streamed since 1985, is a story of everyday life of ordinary residents of a fictional neighborhood, Walford, East London.
I'm so glad to join a team of brilliant actors who play in the show, which my family has regularly watched for so many years.
The film had great success and earned Oscar nominations in five categories. Worldwide box office was 16 times higher than expenses on filming - Bohemian Rhapsody became the most successful biographical film ever.

Ben Hardy was dating an actress, Katriona Perrett, for almost nine years, since college, but in summer of 2018 the couple broke up. At this moment, Ben's heart is free - he's trying to find his soul-mate through dating apps.
The actor's height is 174 cm.
