Freddie's as nuts as Reggie Kray

The notorious London gangster Reggie Kray was pretty reckless and nuts in the fashion he murdered both George Cornell and Jack "the hat" McVitie. Ronnie Kray shot and killed George Cornell in the Blind Beggar pub in Whitechapel on 9 March 1966 in front of witnesses just like Freddie killed George Cornell, in front of witnesses. He'd been so wild in his stabbing of Jack McVitie that the guy's liver fell out and Reg had to flush it down the toilet. Of course Freddie didn't take things that far, but why would he murder Siddy in front of so many witnesses in a public tavern? Why wouldn't he act more clandestine in his homicide than the Kray twins? The Kray's did 30 years for their recklessness in those murders.

Wasn't Ronnie the crazy twin, not Reggie?

And Tom Hardy played both.

And ‘course he famously portrayed Britain’s most notorious prisoner: Charles Bronson. How appropriate and cool is it that he played all of those unhinged people, huh? Hehe.

Hardy killed it in these roles.
