Tom Hardy Leaves Fans Baffled With Risqué Kathy Bates Confession on New Rap Album

Tom Hardy has surprised fans by releasing a new rap album filled with unusual lyrics and unexpected references to Marvel characters, Stephen King novels and Shakespeare.

The actor is known for a wide range of roles, including Batman villain Bane, Mad Max and the 1960s London gangsters Ronnie and Reggie Kray in Legend. However, his latest release has caught many fans off guard, particularly those who were unaware that Hardy also makes music.

Hardy releases music under the name Frankie Pulitzer. His latest project, Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer, is a collaboration with underground rap group Czarface, which includes Wu-Tang Clan member Inspectah Deck, as well as 7L & Esoteric.

Tom Hardy’s unusual rap lyrics

The album includes several lyrics that have left listeners scratching their heads. Movie fans may recognise references to the Green Goblin from the Spider-Man films starring Tobey Maguire, in which the character was played by Willem Dafoe.

Hardy, performing as Frankie Pulitzer, says in one song: “I be somewhat of a scientist like Willem Dafoe, If you know then you know, Goblin up crumbs”.

There is also a reference to another Marvel character, Doctor Doom: “Doctor Doom how I’m the Victor the Scripture”.

Another track, Mad Technology, takes the references in an even more unexpected direction. The song mentions two books by acclaimed horror writer Stephen King: Cujo, about a rabid dog that goes on a killing spree, and Misery, which features the obsessive character Kathy Bates.

The lyrics say: “You sh**-for-brain no-name lame, that bites like Cujo, I’d rather masturbate to Kathy Bates than hear you flow, And you know that Misery, it loves company.”

Other tracks take a more highbrow approach, including a recitation of a monologue from Shakespeare’s Richard IIII.

Fans react to Tom Hardy’s rap album

Fans shared a mixed reaction to the album’s release on social media. One listener wrote: “this cannot be real wtfff”.

Another posted: “Please sound like Bane.”

A third fan said: “he already has a couple songs out with czarface that came out years ago and I still can’t believe that’s tom hardy.”

Some fans were delighted to discover that Hardy also raps. One wrote: “Tom Hardy is such a legend. I was blown away when I found out he rapped.”

The album was released after the second season of MobLand, in which Hardy became the subject of controversy following reports that he had been fired after a contentious season of filming.

Reports suggested that a decision had been made to prevent Hardy from returning for a third season of the show. That decision was later reversed, while rumours also claimed that director Guy Ritchie had helped smooth things over.
