You might know these celebrities for their performances, but not for their love for bikes. Many of them embrace the bike culture and their presence makes it all prominent. It’s pretty evident that the film culture and the bike culture are closely knit. Indian Larry, a legendary custom bike builder used to hang out with Andy Warhol, a famous film director. It was from there both the cultures mixed. This article presented to you by Hoopy Doorstep Bike Service is going to blow your mind because honestly, who knew these famous stars make motorbikes cooler than they already are!
- Tom Cruise:
This iconic actor is famous for insane stunts. The man makes his dangerous sequences look effortless. When you take out his catalogue of films, you’ll notice almost all of them have iconic bike scenes (Mission Impossible 2, Edge of Tomorrow). Tom is his own stuntman. He has a decent collection of bikes in his garage and can be seen cruising (pun intended) around and his go-to bike is the Vyrus.
- Keanu Reeves:
The star of the Matrix & John Wick franchise, Keanu Reeves is a household name in the bike community and all over the world! Reeves started his passion of riding at the age of 22. He’s been an avid biker since then, and has immense love for the classic Norton Commando bike. His bike collection is strong in number and it includes the infamous Dark Green 2004 Ducati 998 Reloaded Edition from the film Matrix Reloaded. Whoop Whoop! Reeves is currently working on Matrix 4 & John Wick 4, which means more awesome jaw-dropping bike sequences for us!! He is also the founder of the Arch Motorcycle Company.
- Ewan McGregor:
The Stars Wars actor was into motorbikes before getting into films. His name is synonymous with the biking community and has gone through many extreme motorcycle adventures. Ewan started in his childhood, mostly on the track with his friends. Ewan and his close buddy Charlie Boorman have their own documentaries called, “Long Way Round” & “Long Way Down”. Ewan has a private collection of Moto Guzzi because he loves them so much. He’s even become the brand ambassador for them.
- Christian Bale:
You should’ve seen this one coming! You might know Bale from Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise, riding the infamous Bikepod/Batcycle. The actor takes bike riding as a hobby and leisure, but has even appeared on track races and even for various bike riding trips. However, his wife asked him to take riding on public roads down a notch. After a minor accident on track, Bale decided to tone down his riding and focus more on his family. Bale still rides though, but good luck spotting him whizz by on the road.
- Tom Hardy:
Tom Hardy is one of the brilliant actors of our times. The man has a big heart for dogs and bikes! The Venom starrer is new to the bike community compared to the others on this list. He was first spotted in 2017, riding a custom 122cc Mutt Motorcycle in the streets of London. Most of his social media posts are bike related and he loves to give a shout out always for cool biking accessories and clothing. Tom once chased a thief on a moped; he rode through many local’s gardens and even a construction site before catching the thief. This became a movie sort of when it aired on the news. Tom rides under a CBT Licence (Compulsory Basic Training) and takes his riding training seriously which makes him cooler!
- Olivia Munn:
The entertainer and model started her profession in TV reporting before she got into acting. Growing up with two siblings you’d figure she would have gotten into bikes at an early age, particularly with one of her siblings claiming a custom cruiser shop, however that wasn’t the situation.
When Munn first began riding as a grown-up she conceded that riding the bicycle in rush hour gridlock was simply excessively startling, so she liked to circle her local when nobody was looking. Obviously, she got utilized riding it since she would now be able to be seen on two wheels on open streets.
These A-listers make riding bikes a burning desire and also prove that you can be good at multiple things. Their bikes go through a good amount of maintenance for the ultimate performance. You too, can take care of your bike the same way without digging deep into your pocket/wallet at Hoopy Doorstep Bike Service.
