Tom Hardy filming Candy Chops.

Oh, how I wish we could see the whole episode they made! It’s out there, and it should be dusted off and shown to the world.

A scene from Candy Chops with Tom Hardy & Charlotte Riley.

Candy Chops was a comedy show, written by Tom & Kelly Marcel (and Charlotte?) of which they made a pilot episode for Rob Brydon’s production company but which was never aired. It was directed by Alex Kavallierou and it was on his showreel I found this clip. Thank you, Alex!

It’s the most adorable thing, truly. I’m so glad this exists, but now I want to know what happens next!

Tom Hardy & Kelly Marcel (and Rob Brydon - his production company was behind the Candy Chops project, so I’m guessing that’s why he’s lurking in the background there. I find it quite amusing). From THAAC.

Here’s a video I’d KILL to see: When Tom Hardy won the role of Shinzon, he beat the likes of Michael Shanks and many other prominent young actors. However, it was still not a sure thing, as he relates. “I met Mr Stewart, the director Stuart Baird and some others. I must admit that my screen test was appalling - a terrible experience, and I came a long way to blowing it. Luckily, I did some filming of myself earlier in the day, so that whatever happened in the screen test I could show what I was like in a more relaxed environment.” But that videotape had a few other ‘extras’ that Tom didn’t initially plan to include. “There was footage of me walking around my hotel room in boxer shorts, eating my breakfast and walking into the Jacuzzi. I’d never been to such a large hotel room before, so I filmed it to show my friends. So, as well as my audition piece, Rick Berman got the whole experience of this strange child from South London who had hit the big time and was enjoying it very much. He says that when he saw my tape he thought I was the most bizarre and odd person they’d ever seen. Then he showed this tape to his wife and they both laughed hysterically at it, apparently even on the second time around. I imagine that I looked like a complete idiot - but maybe that’s what did it?” Hardy becomes philosophical for a moment. “Ah well, you never really find out why you get some jobs, do you?” From Starburst magazine, 2003. (Photo with which I mean to illlustrate ‘most bizarre person’. *g*)

Versions of candy chops

More Tom-nerdness: it seems Tom was working on Candy Chops for many, many years, in different versions. Seems it wasn’t really a comedy at first, though… In 2003 he said this.

Hardy began work on Get a Grip, a music-oriented feature of his own making. “Get a Grip isn’t a movie like 8Mile at all. It’s actually quite the opposite. It’s a mock documentary about a white rapper. Have you seen a movie called Man Bites Dog? It’s a bit like that. We follow this one guy. It’s a sort of black and white MTV documentary about a white rapper in London. It’s all very unglamorous, and it’s just about the days leading up to his big gig. I play the rapper, but the whole thing is freestyle. We used non-actors and I directed it with my DJ.

It’s kind of a community piece. People that I know – DJs, music industry people, dancers – are all helping me. We’re keeping it in-house and trying to form a group of people, a production company. As our careers grow and develop and the team gets bigger, we can hopefully pick each other up so that, eventually, there will be a time when we can walk into a joint and stand 40-strong. It’s the same type of vibe as what Ewan McGregor and Jude Law have with Natural Nylon. We’re slowly, slowly putting things together, because there’s no longevity in just being an actor.

And I also found here that Lee Ryan from the boy band Blue was supposed to be in Candy Chops. How terribly odd.

I do hope he gets to do this some day, somehow. I keep finding new projects of his that never came to light, he’s SUCH a busy boy. I love that. (Although I was sad to see that Tom was supposed to have been in Benedict Cumberbatch’s film Third Light. I would have love to see that. Or the film where Tom was supposed to play Christopher Marlowe! THAT would have been awesome.)

candy chops tom hardy projects

This is a very short scene from the never-made comedy series Candy Chops which Tom co-wrote and was supposed to star in as an aspiring rapper. I just love his accent here, it’s completely adorable.

(Forgot to add the source. Sorry about that!
