"I went to his concert and felt sorry for him," Hardy recounted with a laugh. "I got ushered into his dressing room just to say hello, and he had to take a photo with me right before going on stage. I felt like a real d--k. He was nice, but he was clearly focused on prepping, and there I was, this random guy like, ‘Hey!’ He just deadpanned me.” Hardy laughed as he recalled realizing, “OK, now’s not the time, maybe we’ll save this for another day.”
This encounter ties back to Hardy's connection with Eminem's music through the Venom film series, where the rapper contributed the title track to the first movie in 2018. He later remixed it for Venom: Let There Be Carnage in 2021 and collaborated with artists like Skylar Grey, Polo G, and Mozzy on another track, “Last One Standing,” for the sequel.
Interestingly, Hardy also has a music side, performing as "Frankie Pulitzer" in occasional collaborations with underground rap group Czarface, some of whose tracks even made it into Venom 2. The actor’s hip-hop side recently crossed paths with another rap legend, Busta Rhymes, hinting at a potential collaboration after the two met on set.
For fans of Hardy’s Venom character, his rapper alter-ego brings an intriguing twist, and perhaps one day, he and Eminem will have a chance to collaborate on a track.
