How can you not like Rick Ross's Instagram?
Rank on a scale of 1 to Tom Hardy: 9.5

Who: Rihanna

Who: Tom Hardy
What you'll see: Tom Hardy just joined Instagram, and it's not clear that he actually knows how it works, but Tom Hardy's Instagram is amazing, because it is ALL PICTURES OF TOM HARDY. His captions are ridiculously simple: "hi guys" and "you're beautiful girl :)" and "Hi ladies! Like my cute dog" and it's almost like Tom Hardy is taunting us, but who cares? PICTURES OF TOM HARDY.
Rank on a scale of 1 to Tom Hardy: TOM HARDY!
