Tom Hardy and his dog kick off 2017 in the most adorable fashion

Although it was nowhere near as showy an affair as Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve or Pitbull’s New Year’s Revolution, Tom Hardy welcomed 2017 by reading a story on The BBC’s CBeebies program. The Taboo star skipped the throng of admirers and fellow celebrities for a couch on a sound stage, where he was accompanied by some stuffed animals and his ridiculously adorable dog, Woody. But the story he read, Simon Philip and Kate Hindley’s You Must Bring A Hat, is about a couple of parties with strict dress codes, so he didn’t steer entirely clear of those glitzy gatherings.
