I find it really fuckin brave that Tom Hardy (stars next to Leo Dicaprio in Inception) is now engaged to a woman but admits that he’s had gay sex.
When asked if he’s ever been with a guy, Hardy said to the Daily Mail:
“As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for fuck’s sake. I’ve played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I’m in my thirties, it doesn’t do it for me.”
“I’m done experimenting but there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine.”
“A lot of people say I seem masculine, but I don’t feel it.”
“I feel intrinsically feminine. I’d love to be one of the boys but I always felt a bit on the outside.”
“Maybe my masculine qualities come from overcompensating because I’m not one of the boys.”

Update: Sources close to the actor say his interview was taken out of context and that his comments were about a “role” he played.
But were his comments really taken out of context or is his camp nervous that his interview portrayed him as bisexual?

Woah! that is very very brave of a male actor to do. I dont really think it was blown out of context though… but like you said, its the “fear”.
Let’s take Angelina Jolie. She’s an action star who has said that she’s bisexual. But she still got a 20 million dollar paycheck for Salt.
But when a male star like Tom Hardy even thinks about coming out as bisexual, there’s a double standard.
Maybe they think he can’t be bisexual and still draw audiences to the theater when his action film Mad Max 4: Fury Road is out.
Very good Blog 🙂
Thank u so much =)
I don’t know what it is about this man, but i find him beautiful and fasinating. He seems to have lived quite a bit, but thats why he is such a great actor. With the parts that he plays, you can tell he is bringing an experience to the table. It was brave of him to talk about his sexuality, as a lot of people would’nt dream of it. It was a shock at first, then i got used to it. He is still an underrated fantastic actor, and stunning to look at.
