He seems like a cool dude. It’s interesting that he has stuck with this thing for so long.

I saw a Video from him. He teached a No Gi class. For myself that looked pretty legit and how coll is it to say my Coach is Venum.

Super cool dude, he actually comes with his team to a lot of the competitions in our area and is a legitimate hands on coach!
Also nothing stuffy about him, speaks to everyone, takes photos, very genuine all around.

Super talented and seems like a down to earth guy. Would be awesome to train with him. Understandable that he is not on any forums, at least not under his own name.

Come on:
even Reylson Gracie, Carlos Machado and Pedro Sauer are here under original names!
😉
They are definitely more a celebrity on this platform.💁🏻♂️

I see people pop up on the notable figures area frequently that I think are bigger names than Tom Hardy. Rikki Rocket comes to mind.

We have Zoltan Bathory here as well... But I think a current mainstream Hollywood actor is another level. They take their online presence and publicity very seriously. Would be cool though.

I think it’s great for jiujitsu. Gets eyes on it from people who might not ever see it!

They do take it seriously for sure, but I think our definitions of mainstream may differ. It's not like we're talking about Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, or Denzel Washington.

Tom Hardy is frickin' Venom and Mad Max 😆 That's totally same mainstream caliber as any one you brought out Joe.

Never even heard of them. Must be super mainstream.

I have no idea who Venom is and Mel Gibson is Mad Max. That Fury Road business doesn't even count. I looked up Tom's credits and the list is long, but only 6 or 8 titles I recognize and only 2 or 3 roles I actually remember. He's accomplished for sure, but he's not a top name by any stretch of the imagination.

He was Bane and Venom. Can't get much more mainstream than that.

Dude 😁 That is whack. Fury Road is the 2nd best Mad Max movie after Mad Max 2 Road Warrior. It won SIX Academy Awards. I could understand if the other actors you brought out were like way older... I guess others than Matt Damon are like fully a generation older.
The differentiating factor is Oscars. All those you brought out have Oscar's, Tom Hardy has only 1 nomination. But at this point in time to the audience and directors he is worth just as much (or possibly even more as he is not that old) than some of those guys.
(All banter in good faith, we're just arguing online over taste.)

I couldn't even sit through Fury Road. Thank God I didn't actually pay to see it.
Academy Awards mean nothing; they are nothing more than political recognition these days. Looking at the list of the last 20 Best Picture winners I've heard of less than 10 and seen less than 5. And one of the winners was The Hurt Locker. I'm guessing Fury Road won none for how good the movie was and a bunch for things like effects, makeup and costumes? And I can't help but notice that Road Warrior won no Oscar's, yet you admit that it was the better movie.

No Tom Hardy. The other actors I mentioned might be way older, but they are still knocking it out of the park and are on the list.
Agree on the banter.

I totally admit that Road Warrior was a better movie (for it's time), but my point was that it is a famous movie with huge box office. I agree looking at that list that probably Tom Hardy shouldn't be in the Top 20 but it's very hard to argue why he isn't in that Top 40.
You just aren't up to contemporary mainstream culture. It's not a bad thing per se but just admit it and don't say contemporary fame is or isn't something because you just don't want to keep yourself up to date 😊

The Road Warrior likely suffered financially due to its era. It came out during the Star Wars phenomenon, Indiana Jones, Rocky, and the original Superman movies among dozens of other great movies. The late 70s through the early 90s were stuffed with great films.
I also don't know why he's not in the Top 40; I expected to see him there. I also don't understand why Matthew McConaughey is closer to the bottom than the top. And there are a lot of people at the top that don't really belong there any more. I think he's an excellent actor, I just don't think he's at the top of the A list.
I don't need to admit anything because I never claimed otherwise. I have no interest at all in mainstream culture, particularly cinema. There have been very few movies the last 10-15 years that have even caused a twitch of the needle on my give-a-shit-o-meter. It's all crappy remakes of old classics and superhero trash. Give me something to be interested in and I'll take an interest in it. I'm not going to force myself to go sit through movies I'm not interested in just to put on the facade of being up to date on mainstream culture.
