Tom Hardy's final 'Bedtime Story' is a tribute to his dog Woody

We didn't think it was possible for Hollywood babe Tom Hardy to be any more attractive.

But then he started filming his series Bedtime Stories and our hearts exploded.

In case you missed it (where have you been?) Tom has been working with a kids TV program to read bedtime stories to kids, and it probably has more mums tuning in than little ones.

Now the actor has just announced he'll be hanging up his slippers - but not before he films one final slumber inducing story.

And in a total swoon-worthy move, his last reading will be dedicated to his loyal dog Woody who recently passed away.

Someone pass us a tissue...

Brown labrador Woody sadly passed away in June after battling with a muscle disorder.

Tom, 39, and his wife Jessica had rescued the pooch, who he described as his "best friend", after he found him wandering the streets while filming in Georgia.

"Woody was the bestest of journey companions we ever could dream of having. Our souls intertwined forever," the Dunkirk star wrote on his blog following his death. "Thank you Woody for choosing to find us. We will love you and be with you and you with us forever."

The final episode of Tom's Bedtime Stories on UK kids programme, CBeebies, will be a reading of the book Fleabag by Helen Stephens.

The story is about a homeless dog who befriends a boy in the park and finds his forever home. Oh God our hearts are breaking.

The date the episode airs (Aug 26) is also National Dog Day around the world.

Woody, who was just six when he died, had been a regular on the couch with Tom during story time.
