Tom Hardy wants to put his dog's ashes in a pillow.

The 'Warrior' actor's beloved pet pooch recently passed away, and he and his three-year-old son Louis have been debating exactly what to do with the remains and Tom has been contemplating creating a cremation cushion.

He said: "My dog and son recognise me no matter what. Actually, my dog's dead now so he won't. We had him cremated. There's a cardboard box of his ashes on our sofa that we're working out what to do with. I might put him in a pillow."

As well as having strong feelings about his departed canine companion, Tom - who is engaged to actress Charlotte Riley - admits he is very loyal to his loved ones and he will "protect" anyone he cares about "to the death".

In an interview with Marie Claire magazine, he explained: "There are two things that are great in my life. One is my family and the other is my work, and I will protect both to the death."
