Every fan has a dream to meet their favorite star at least once in a lifetime. And when they come face to face with someone they idolize, they react in all sorts of ways. Madonna is a celebrity whom singers and artists, from Britney Spears to Lady Gaga, have lauded for her undeniable influence. She is one of the world’s most recognizable faces.
Although, Hardy didn’t get close to Madonna as some fans might have done. Tom Hardy revealed that he had the opposite reaction. When he first met Madonna, all he could do was hide from the pop star. And it was something he felt anyone in his position would have done.
However, the Inception actor chose to hide from the singer. According to Contactmusic, Hardy revealed that he was in such awe of Madonna, that he couldn’t even handle being in the singer’s presence. “She left me starstruck,” Hardy said while adding, “I did what anyone who can’t deal with the situation does. I went and hid in the Range Rover.
Inception star continues, “I was sort of prepping for the scene in there and someone said hello to me and it was her. She’d somehow managed to get in the back of it!” Although, Hardy was later able to gather up enough courage to actually talk to his idol. However, he doesn’t remember the conversation. “Then we had a conversation, which I’ve completely blacked out because there she was like the Mother Mary in the boot (back) of the f***ng Range Rover and I was completely starstruck.”

Meanwhile, Venom clarified he asserted that he didn’t react this way because he was attracted to her. On the contrary, Madonna just didn’t appeal to the actor at the time. Hardy said to the outlet, “She’s just someone’s mum to me and she looks like a ghost. “I didn’t see her as a sexual creature. There was a time when I really would’ve gone there but since she appeared in the Justin Timberlake video, leaping over cars and things, I just think, ‘enough now.'”
