Tom Hardy likes to think of himself as an ''Adonis''.

Old pictures of the Hollywood hunk from his MySpace page have been unearthed, showing him in a pair of tiny white underwear, but instead of being embarrassed, Tom joked that he thinks he looks like a Greek god.

He told Sky News: ''I've got no shame about my MySpace photos, especially the one of me in my underpants which is a glorious photo of a man in his natural habitat.

''In my tighty-whitey budgie smugglers. In America, they say 'you should be ashamed of this' but I'm actually not remotely ashamed - that is me in my natural habitat, thank you.

''I might not be an Adonis, but I like to think of myself as an Adonis in that photo.''

Meanwhile, Tom, 37 - who already has a seven-year-old son, Louis, with ex-girlfriend Rachael Speed - and wife Charlotte Riley recently revealed they are expecting their first child together.

Tom - who married the 33-year-old actress in July 2014 - has said that he takes ''great pride'' in being a father.

He told Britain's HELLO! magazine: ''Being a father has given me the kind of purpose that makes you think more carefully about how you live your life.

''I made a lot of mistakes and I put my mum and dad through a lot because they were so worried about me.

''I take great pride in being a father and make sure I'm there for him and helping him as he makes his way in the world.''
