We022 Archivessafely assume that perfect human Tom Hardy leads a fairly charmed life. That's also good news if you happen to be a Hardy lookalike, but resembling a celebrity means you can never, ever trust sightings in your immediate vicinity.
That's what happened to Johnny Watson, a U.K. resident who happens to be the famous actor's spitting image.
Reports made their way to Watson that Hardy had stopped in at the Surf Cafe in Tynemouth, which is just a short drive away from Watson's home.
In fact, Watson was at that very cafe before he went home to catch some zzzzs.
What a disappointed. He probably just missed Hardy!
"I woke up and had a message saying Tom Hardy is in the Surf Cafe," Watson told his local paper, the Chronicle. "So I’m just thinking to myself that I’m gutted because I was there earlier and I didn’t see him."
It didn't take Watson -- who has been told before that he looks like Hardy -- to realize what was actuallygoing on.
"So I just slowly started to think ‘oh god, is this me? Then I look at Twitter and, sure enough, everyone’s sharing a picture of me," he said.
Watson left the Chroniclewith a message for all of his disappointed neighbors: "I would like to apologise to the good people of the North East for not being Tom Hardy."
