A list of on-set requests reportedly linked to actor Tom Hardy has resurfaced after being accidentally leaked in 2024. The document, known as a rider, outlines items requested by performers or actors during productions and offers insight into their working preferences.
Riders are commonly used in the entertainment industry to ensure performers have what they need while on set. These requests can range from basic refreshments to specialised equipment, and are usually handled by production teams ahead of filming.
According to reports, Hardy’s rider was mistakenly sent to the wrong person, an IT worker with a similar name to a production manager. The error led to the details becoming public, offering an unusual glimpse into the actor’s routine during filming.
While some celebrity riders have gained attention for extravagant demands, Hardy’s list appears relatively practical, though it includes a number of unusual items. Several requests suggest preparation for long working days, personal comfort, and fitness.
The rider also includes items believed to be related to Hardy’s dogs, as well as technology and food supplies. The list was first reported by The Sun and later shared widely online.
Below is the list as it appeared in the report:
- 60 strawberry ice-cream vapes
- IV drip
- Lavender diffuser
- Dog poop bags
- Dog bowl
- Xbox Series X
- Printer
- Bose speaker
- Kettle
- Toaster
- Tomato and chicken soup
- Coffee maker
- Low-alcohol lager
