English actor Tom Hardy on the set of the TV miniseries "Taboo." See caption on last photo for more information.


















‘Taboo’ follows traveler James Delaney, who everyone assumed had died until he returns to London from Africa in 1814 to reclaim his father’s shipping empire. His stated goal is a simple one: "All the tea in China." He says: “I was in Tilbury, in the moat, in the docks, with nothing on. We were trying to eke out drama from any opportunity and none of that makes the cut.”

  1. Is this available in the US? Is this a scene from the show?

  2. It was an 8-episode miniseries that aired on FX back in Jan. and Feb. 2017. It is apparently now available on "FX on Hulu." I don't have an account to say for sure.

  3. Why is he naked when it appears from the other men’s dress that it’s a cold temp? That said, very impressive Tom out there in cold weather and hanging incredibly well!

    1. He's on the set. He fell into the water. The other men are crew. In the show his character is part native Canadian. In this scene he is back with his people. Hence the tattoos.

  4. "Taboo" is still available on Hulu. I saved it and will check the show out soon.
    @Leroy -- thx for the heads up.

    1. You're welcome. I saw it when it originally aired, and I liked it a lot. There was hope for a second series, but I guess that won't be happening.
