Fans of the Venom star have six bedtime stories to look forward to as the actor goes on British kids’ channel CBeebies in a bid to soothe sleepless nights amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The BBC reported that Hardy wanted to keep children in the United Kingdom entertained during this challenging time.

And it won’t be the actor’s first storytelling gig.

Hardy made his CBeebies bedtime story debut on New Year’s Eve in 2016 where he read Simon Philip and Kate Hindley’s You Must Bring a Hat.

Proving to be a brilliant bedtime storyteller, the stories were an instant hit, raking in over 1 million views on the BBC streaming service, BBC iPlayer.

The following year, Hardy returned for another bedtime story in conjunction with Valentine’s Day.

For his latest storytelling outing, the actor will read one new story each day starting Monday April 27 to Friday May 1.

Hardy will be accompanied by his beloved French bulldog, Blue, that will no doubt delight canine lovers.

The 42-year-old filmed the stories in his garden and observed social distancing guidelines.

The actor will kick off his bedtime story sessions with Hug Me by Simone Ciraolo.

According to the BBC, the story is about a young cactus named Felipe "who really needs a hug but his family just isn’t the touchy-feely kind so he sets off to find a friend of his own — and a hug.”
