Madame Tussauds in London has unveiled a treat for Valentine's Day: a waxwork of hearthrob Tom Hardy with a 'heartbeat' and a warm torso.

The English actor's wax figure has a heartbeat of 60 reps per minute and a core temperature of 37 degrees Celsius.  Fans can nestle on a leather sofa with the star and pose for photos.

Some canine fans also took part in a photo opportunity with Hardy, who's well-known as a dog lover.  Several of the dogs came from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, a rescue charity close to Hardy's heart.

Hardy starred in "Dunkirk," "Mad Max" and "The Revenant," for which he was nominated for an Oscar.
