Tom Hardy blasted for tomb-stoning off 30ft cliff

Tom Hardy has been blasted for tomb-stoning off a 30ft cliff while filming a credit card advert.

The actor has been called irresponsible for tomb-stoning off the same cliff where a man died in 2007.

The actor appears in the advert in which a man jumps off a cliff and into water at Berry Head National Nature Reserve in Brixham, Devon, in a black and white commercial for Hyundai.

It was filmed in the exact spot where Delwyn Jones died in 2007 while on a holiday with family and friends. 

While it’s not clear whether Mr Hardy carried out the stunt himself or used a double, emergency services have slammed him for taking part.   

‘Tom Hardy is a role model and young people look up to him. It is really sending out the wrong message,’ a spokesman for Berry Head Coastguard said. 

Speaking of the film makers, he continued: ‘They obviously didn’t do their research about tomb-stoning very well for the advert, because it is extremely dangerous.

‘Tom Hardy, or his stunt double, wasn’t wearing a wetsuit either and it was filmed in October, so the water would have been freezing cold.’
