Tom Hardy is clearly a man of many talents.

Reading bedtime stories on kids' TV in a soothing manner. Looking after dogs. Obviously the whole acting thing.

And, as it turns out, rapping.

On Thursday, Reddit user edwardtracy shared a Bandcamp link in the the r/hiphopreads subreddit.

That link goes to an album titled Falling on Your Arse in 1999, which was uploaded to Bandcamp on 8 January 2018.

"Made in a bedroom 1999 these mixtapes were never really finished," reads the description.

"Lyrics written and performed by Tom Hardy. Music written and produced by Ed Tracy."

Here's the album, in all its glory:

Be honest: it's better than you were expecting, isn't it?

Perhaps it's time for Tommy No 1 to make a reappearance.

Mashable has reached out to Tom Hardy's representatives, and we will update this article if we receive a response.
