5
Hi, I'm Tom Hardy and today I'm meeting retired police dogs for VT.

7
Neo.
8
Neo.
9
Hello Neo.
10
Is he a, what's his ex-police dog now is he?
11
No, I'll have none of that.
12
F* off.

You sealed this quite tight Neo.
14
Hi Tom, I'm Neo.
15
I worked for the homicide police until I retired at the age of four.
16
years.
17
Farewell mate.
18
That's a good stint, good stint that.
19
What hobbies do you like to do in your spare time?
20
I like to train Jiu Jitsu.
21
I like to wrestle in Lycra.
22
I prefer to wear Spanx, it's like a rash guard, it's like a thunder vest you might have when you get anxious.
23
It makes me feel relaxed when I roll.
24
What about you?
25
Oh, who's this?
26
This is Bear.
27
Bear's gorgeous.
28
Hello, Bear.
29
Hello.
30
Hi, Tom.
31
My name is Bear.
32
During my time working for the police, I helped Bear.
33
Watch this.
34
I helped with many missing persons cases, including a young woman who was threatening to take her life.
35
Well done, mate.
36
It's estimated that between 30 and 50% of dogs who tried to work in the police, sadly, don't make the cut.
37
Is it true that you auditioned to play Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice?
38
No. I didn't actually get an audition.
39
I was told categorically that...
40
This is a good moment for me, actually.
41
I was told categorically that,
42
by a lovely producer, that all women have an image or a vision of what Mr. Darcy looks like.
43
And I'm afraid, Tom, you just aren't it.
44
That's showbiz.
45
It's really important that dogs are as fit and as healthy as possible.
46
What is your go-to cheat day snack when you're not working?
47
Or a Haribo.
48
I'm a Haribo rings kind of man.
49
That's the answer to that.
50
My proudest moment is when I was on my first proper walk following surgery.
51
When I alerted my owner to a vulnerable man in need of help and I saved his life.
52
Wow!
53
What is your proudest moment in your career?
54
Do you know what?
55
That's an interesting one.
56
I don't really know about pride, mate.
57
I don't really know how I feel about that.
58
It's very different to the job that you do, what I do.
59
I just pull faces. So... And I wear tights. And make-up.
60
I suppose having something of a discipline is something to be proud of.
61
I think I'm proud I have a career, maybe, sometimes.
62
Thanks, Bear.
63
I feel less than.
64
Not a hero.
65
I bet your con...
66
Ooh, yes, my finger's attached to that.
67
In your career, you've played so many challenging roles, often taking on multiple characters in the same project.
68
Rank these characters in terms of difficulty playing them.
69
Ronnie and Reggie Craig.
70
I found them easy, I enjoyed them.
71
Eddie Brock and Venom I found easy, I enjoyed that as well.
72
And Charlie Bronson, I found that fun as well.
73
So none of them were difficult.
74
They were just pure joy to play because I love playing.
75
So nothing, just enjoy it.
76
So it's not difficult if you enjoy something.
77
I don't think, for me anyway.
78
It's the ones you don't enjoy that are difficult.
79
Police dogs are very quick at learning new tricks.
80
What is your go-to party trick?
81
I don't do tricks.
82
Sorry.
83
I don't do parties.
84
Hello.
85
Who's this?
86
Gilly.
87
Gilly?
88
Hello, Gilly.
89
Bye, Gilly.
90
Gilly's on the job.
91
Bye, Gilly.
92
In 2020, my owner, Darren, was diagnosed with stage four blood cancer.
93
During this time, I never left his side, and together we are partners in crime.
94
Aw.
95
Who is an actor you've always admired but never worked with before?
96
Josh Brolin.
97
Josh Brolin.
98
Oh, Gilly.
99
I'd like to work with him.
100
So if you could just get him on the phone... That would be great.
101
Sit.
102
Sit.
103
No. Sit.
104
Right.
105
Good boy.
106
No, there's no treat there, lad.
107
Oh, bless.
108
That was good effort, though.
109
Good hunting.
110
Pabok has an incredible cast.
111
If your co-stars were dogs, what kind of breed would they be?
112
Timothy Oliphant.
113
He's quite tall, Timothy Oliphant, but he's quite thin, too.
114
Not like a Great Dane.
115
I'd go more maybe a pointer.
116
Jesse.
117
I think a kind of a Labrador.
118
Forrest Whitaker.
119
Chow Chow.
120
The blue tongue.
121
Tom Hardy.
122
I don't know.
123
A mongrel.
124
Some kind of mutt.
125
An integral part of being a police dog is being able to learn new skills and tricks to perform their jobs.
126
Which director and which actor have you learnt the most from in your career?
127
God, that's a good question.
128
There's so many.
129
I think you learn something from everybody that you work with.
130
I've learned so much from every director and every actor that I've worked with actually.
131
So, I don't know if there's a most.
132
It's just a continuation of the work really with people and there's always something to learn.
133
Come here, let's have a go on that bowl.
134
He hasn't got any perches because he's not on the top.
135
Does he like playing with the Kong?
136
Does he want it back?
137
You want to play pole or do you want?
138
Good boy Yes, there might yet.
139
Oh dear Can't stand them I'm doing it for the telly Me and my dogs.
140
Wu-Tang!
141
You're a Wu-Tang fan, Johnny?
142
Yes.
143
Nice.
144
That's a classic t-shirt.
145
Are you a big Wu-Tang fan yourself?
146
I am, mate.
147
Yeah.
148
I would have loved to have been a member of the Wu-Tang Clan.
149
Yeah, secret member.
150
Secret member, yeah.
151
Right?
152
What would your Wu-Tang Clan name be?
153
I don't know.
154
Oh, come on, man.
155
There's a Wu-Tang name generator. Is there?
156
I think I got something like Candy Gambino.
157
Candy Gambino?
158
Gambino.
159
Where is the Wu-Tang Clan name generator?
160
We have to get that.
161
Is it just a free app online?
162
Spin it up Nicole, spin it up.
163
I want to know what my name would be.
164
It's got a face puller in it.
165
The son just started a gang war.
166
They just want to shoot him dead.
167
That's the end of the story.
168
I make one phone call.
169

Tom Hardy Meets Retired Police Dogs: A Charming Real-Life Dialogue

In this video, actor Tom Hardy chats with handlers (and even "interviews" retired police dogs!) in a casual, playful setting. The conversation blends lighthearted banter, personal anecdotes, and practical details—perfect for learning natural, conversational English used in real-life interactions. From discussing career highlights to favorite snacks, the dialogue mirrors how people talk in relaxed, unscripted moments.

Useful Chunks & Collocations to Memorize

  • "Don't make the cut": To fail to meet a standard (e.g., "30-50% of police dogs don't make the cut").
  • "Go-to cheat day snack": A favorite indulgence on a day off (e.g., "My go-to cheat day snack is Haribo rings").
  • "Proudest moment": A key achievement to highlight (e.g., "My proudest moment was walking after surgery").
  • "Sealed this quite tight": Playful way to say something is secure (e.g., "Neo sealed the treat jar quite tight").
  • "Categorically told": Firmly and clearly informed (e.g., "I was categorically told I wasn't Mr. Darcy material").

Your Shadowing Challenge: Improve English Pronunciation Now

Shadowing speech (repeating aloud while listening) is a proven way to boost fluency. Here's your task: Pick 3 short lines from the video (try "I'm a Haribo rings kind of man," "Well done, mate," or "That's showbiz") and play them on loop. Pause after each line, then repeat it immediately, matching Tom's tone, speed, and stress. Focus on copying the natural rhythm—not just the words. Do this 5 times for each line. This trains your mouth to move like a native and improves your listening skills. Ready? Press play and start shadow speak!

Pro tip: Record yourself and compare it to the original. Notice small differences in pronunciation—this is how you grow. Learn English with videos like this, and you'll master conversational English in no time.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
