The list of celebrities reading stories is getting bigger and bigger, and now Tom Hardy is joining the group!
The star of Dunkirk and Venom will be joining the BBC on their children’s channel, CBeebies, to share a new bedtime story each night for a week.

This isn’t the first time Hardy has appeared on BBC’s Bedtime stories. His last series of readings, in 2016, was one of the most popular Bedtime stories, recording a million views on the BBC iPlayer streaming service.
You asked. He listened! ?

- Under The Same Sky by Robert Vescio and Nicky Johnston
- There’s A Tiger In The Garden by Lizzy Stewart
- Don’t Worry, Little Crab by Chris Haughton
- The Problem With Problems by Rachel Rooney and Zehra Hicks

Hardy will be joined by his dog, a French bulldog named Blue, for at least one of the stories, providing extra sweetness to this event.
