Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy were formerly the world’s most popular actors.

Even if they used to be good friends, it’s unclear whether they’re still buddies.

Are Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy friends?

If they ever starred in a film together now, the screen would most likely combust from their combined hotness.

However, the two have already worked together in the BBC drama Stuart: A Life Backwards.

The 90-minute film was shot in a variety of Cambridge sites, including Midsummer Common and a home on Hertford Street.

It was released in 2007, during which time film crews were claimed to be taking over the city.

Stuart Shorter, a homeless drinker with a violent background, is played by Tom Hardy, and Alexander Masters, a writer and charity worker, is played by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Cumberbatch recently starred alongside Jonny Lee Miller in Danny Boyle’s sold-out Frankenstein, was directed by Steven Spielberg in War Horse, and was cast by Peter Jackson in The Hobbit.
