Elton John's lead a rather interesting, sometimes controversial, life in the public eye for the better part of four decades now. So, naturally, Hollywood is set to make a biopic about the eccentric piano man being pitched as a "biographical musical fantasy that weaves together the life of Sir Elton John and his music." According to early reports from HitFix, producers are looking in a surprising direction for their leading Rocketman.

"Right now, the project is out to Tom Hardy. That doesn't mean they've made him a formal offer yet, or even that he's interested," says the site. "But it's an intriguing possibility." Bane doing "Crocodile Rock?" Yeah, we'd say that qualifies as intriguing.

Can you see it?

Rocketman, the biographical musical fantasy of Elton John's life, may be eyeing Tom Hardy for the lead role. The actor, who portrayed Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, has reportedly been approached by director Michael Gracey and Elton John.

Rocketman has been in development for several years, getting a big boost forward earlier this year when Michael Gracey, best known for his work with flambuoyant dance numbers in his advertising commercials, was hired as the director.

The script, written by Lee Hall (Billy Elliot, War Horse), weaves together the life of Elton John (Reggie Dwight), and his music, following his childhood and rise to international fame and fortune. Much of the biopic focuses on Elton's collaborations with writing partner Bernie Taupin.

Up until this announcement, Justin Timberlake was rumored to be the front-runner for the part.

Tom Hardy is currently shooting the Soviet-Union set thriller, Child 44. Next year he is set to step into the shoes of Mel Gibson in Mad Max: Fury Road, followed by Dennis Lehane's Animal Rescue.

Elton John's Rocket Pictures will produce the film.

If you were just about to lose faith in humanity, Tom Hardy is reason enough to keep believing in the inherent goodness of people for at least another day.

The Dark Knight Rises actor surprised 23-year-old Kayleigh Duff this week by turning her dream date into a reality. Duff, who suffers from a rare form of liver cancer, appeared on a British talk show to discuss the disease and her bucket list, which included spending a day with Hardy.

With the help of his fiancee and Duff's close friend, Hardy arranged a surprise outing with Duff, who was obviously thrilled once she found out what was going on. "I nearly died when I saw him. I was shaking," she said. "We had lunch and tea and scones, and he bought me a diamond necklace. Tom's fiancée Charlotte and Katie arranged it all without me knowing and he was so lovely and down to earth."

Duff's friends have been working hard to fulfill her wish list as she battles the same cancer that killed her father when she was just a child. Prior to Duff's "date" with Hardy, her pals arranged for a wedding photo-shoot with model Danny Wisker. Duff's next wish to come true is a trip to Florida with her son Kai, 2, and the rest of her family.

Giving one special fan the thrill she'd been wishing for, Tom Hardy spent time with Kayleigh Duff on Monday (May 27).

Suffering from a rare form of liver cancer, the young mother appeared on a British talk show to talk about her diagnosis and her "wish list" which included meeting the "Dark Knight Rises" actor.

Upon meeting the 35-year-old actor, Kayleigh explained to the Canterbury Times, "I nearly died when I saw him. I was shaking - I just thought we were having a day out in London. He was so lovely and down to earth."
