If it was love at first sight for you, then you may have a chance at landing a date with Ben Hardy.
The “Bohemian Rhapsody” star — who portrays Queen’s drummer Roger Taylor in the blockbuster musical — is single again after splitting from his long-time girlfriend Katriona Perret after nine years together.
To the delight of many fans, Hardy has reportedly turned to dating app Bumble to find love.
The 27-year-old actor is believed to have used a topless photo of himself with his dog Frankie on his profile, in a bid to attract the ladies on the app.
According to an insider who told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Ben had been with Katriona for almost a decade so coming out of that relationship has been difficult.
“But now he is getting back out there and has downloaded Bumble to meet new people,” the statement said. “He could have his pick of glamorous women but he doesn’t big himself up as an actor on his profile. But obviously some girls have been surprised to find a major Hollywood actor on there.”
For those who are unfamiliar with Ben Hardy, the actor started out his career portraying Peter Beale on UK series “EastEnders.” He later went on to star in “Only The Brave,” which was the star’s first Hollywood movie, alongside the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Olivia Munn. Just as EastEnders was a series where he displayed quite a lot of skin, “Only The Brave” also required him to undress for the part of mutant Archangel.
In response to the attention he has gotten for showing skin, Hardy said, “I don’t regret being topless in certain things … but I try not to be topless anymore because I don’t want that to be my thing.”
