HOLLYWOOD superstar Tom Hardy was spotted filming in the nude in Tilbury for a new TV mini-series.
The Oscar nominated actor was seen filming for the BBC series called Taboo by the fort, as he leapt into the freezing waters in the buff.
Photos show Hardy, whose catalogue of films include Legend and The Dark Knight Rises, leaping from a boat to carry a sack above his head to shore.
Hardy stars as James Delaney, an adventurer who returns to Britain from Africa along with fourteen stolen diamonds to seek vengeance after the death of his father.
The story for the eight-part series was written by Hardy and his dad Chips.
Also set to star in the series is American actor Michael Kelly, one of the stars of House of Cards, and Johnathan Pryce, who recently appeared in Game of Thrones.
Late last year the London Cruise Terminal in Tilbury was also used by Hollywood royalty when Gal Gadot and Chris Pine were spotted filming for the new Wonder Woman film.
