But things took a rather chaotic turn when Dominic asked him about recent sightings at Barry Island in Wales. Tom fiercely defends Barry Island Dominic said: "People were saying they spotted you on Barry Island. And apparently you were on the ghost train, is that true?" Tom quipped: "I don't know," before recalling the ride: "It goes around in a loop and comes back out on the left? Yes, I've been on that.
" When Dominic joked that the man running the ride was "scarier than the ride itself," Tom immediately shut it down. He said: "I wouldn't say that. You can't say that.
Because he might be listening, and that's just a terrible thing to say about Barry Island, isn't it, when you think about it? I feel I should defend him immediately." Tom added: "That's wrong. I had a great time on Barry Island.
I went with my family, and there's also the two penny machines – you know, the slidey machines? They are incredible. But they're not healthy. In moderation.
Good fun." Tom refuses to answer cheeky question Trying his luck, Dominic cheekily asked: "Have you weaned yourself off the two penny machines?" Tom firmly replied: "I don't talk about that, no. It's none of your business.
" When Dominic apologised, Tom cut in: "Then don't," before moving the interview along with a blunt: "Next question." Fans quickly praised Tom’s quick wit and loyalty to Barry Island on social media, with many calling the exchange “hilarious” and “classic Tom Hardy.” Tom’s latest project MobLand Tom has had a busy few months filming MobLand , Guy Ritchie’s new gangster series for Paramount+.
