Hardy toldVulturein 2014 that he had helped find homes for puppies without one. “I always find dogs wherever I go, and if people say they’re looking for a dog, I’ll find them one,” Hardy said. “In fact, I’ve got two on my mobile phone right now, which I’m going to find—an English bulldog and some kind of Weimaraner. I’ve got friends who work in places—ex-police handlers and people who’ve got quarantines or kennels, and they say, ‘We’ve got two dogs that came in. Can [you] find a home for them?’”

In July, Hardy compared being seen in public to spotting a giraffe on the street in an interview withEsquire. “Take as many pictures as you want, but one thing is always off limits — the kids. It’s like spotting a giraffe walking down the street. I get it,” he said. “I can see people’s behavior, I can see when a camera’s coming, I can see when a phone is moving, I can see people’s body language. There is no difference between that and a weapon, the hyper-vigilance. It’s just odd. I’m cool with that. But [pictures of my] kids are a f—— no.”
