Tom Hardy granted the dying want of a fan in a hospice by video calling her.
Jo-Anne Shaw advised the workers caring for her at Myton Hospice in Warwick that it might be her dream to talk to the actor. They put out an enchantment on social media and Hardy replied on Instagram, saying it might “be [his] pleasure”. He then video referred to as her on Friday.
“He has made my day. He put me on a pedestal for a day and that’s all I can ask for,” Shaw, who resides with terminal most cancers, advised BBC Coventry and Warwickshire.
“I’m so excited, he spoke to me as if he’s a friend,” she continued. “I’m such a big fan of his, I’ve watched all his movies and boxsets especially during lockdown. I love him to bits.”
Shaw is such an enormous fan of the Peaky Blinders actor that as an alternative of sending her flowers, her good friend despatched her a life-sized cardboard cutout of him as an alternative.
A spokesperson from the Myton Hospice mentioned on their official Facebook that they’d been “blown away by Tom’s kindness and support”, including that “Jo-Anne and her family cannot thank you enough for making this happen.”
Earlier this 12 months, Hardy took residence two gold medals from a charity Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitors in Wolverhampton. The proceeds from the occasion had been donated to REORG, a charity that helps army and emergency service members who’re coping with PTSD, melancholy and life-altering bodily accidents.
