Tom Hardy<\/a> and Charlotte Riley<\/a> seem incredibly comfortable with their understated life in the Surrey countryside<\/a> with their children<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though the pair live a more reclusive lifestyle now, the MobLand actor and his wife shared a home in Richmond, London, before retreating in 2018.<\/p>\n

After having grown up around the area, Tom moved back to Richmond with his then-girlfriend Charlotte in 2013, and the pair married a year later, welcoming two children in 2015 and 2019.<\/p>\n

Though famously very private about his personal life, the Havoc actor spoke frequently, at the time, about wanting to stay near the area, as his first son Louis, from a previous relationship, lived nearby.<\/p>\n

In 2018, he told Esquire<\/a> that he was aiming to spend as much time as he possibly could with his children, following a return to London after filming Fonzo and Venom back to back.<\/p>\n

Tom also told Cosmopolitan in the same year, when Louis was 10, “My son lives in London with his mother, and I need that contact with him. It’s so important to me. Any time away from him is just criminal. Also, I am a Londoner forever.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “I’m never moving until my boy is old enough to move with me if he wants to.”<\/p>\n

However, after a series of issues, Tom and Charlotte decided to relocate. First, the two caused some controversy in the neighbourhood after submitting planning permission for a chrome chimney, according to The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then, the Dark Knight Rises star was famously seen chasing a moped thief through the neighbourhood in late 2017 before finally deciding to relocate due to a stalking incident.<\/p>\n

It seems that the final straw came in early 2019, when a car crashed into the front of Tom and Charlotte’s house, according to a report in The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tom and Charlotte’s retreat to the Surrey countryside<\/p>\n

The actors seem to be much more content in the countryside; in an interview with Esquire, Tom opened up about how taking his rural lifestyle in his stride during the coronavirus pandemic helped him to reevaluate his career and priorities.<\/p>\n

\"Charlotte\u00a9 David M. BenettTom Hardy and Charlotte Riley retreated to the countryside after safety troubles<\/p>\n

He said: “I think there’s less reason to work, ultimately, because the life-drive is to be with the kids and to be fit and healthy and eat well and stuff.<\/p>\n

“If you’ve got a roof over your head and a bed underneath you and food in the fridge, how much is enough? Because it’s not a dress rehearsal, life, is it? It’s going out live. This is one-time.”<\/p>\n
