'Inception' Stud Tom Hardy: 'Of Course' He's Had Sex With Men

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 29th 2010 06:59AM

British magazine NOW somehow had the foresight to ask 'Inception' star Tom Hardy -- you know, that hunk everyone's been talking about, the one that's not Joseph Gordon-Levitt? -- if he'd ever engaged in sexual activities with men. The response was gold: "As a boy? Of course I have. I'm an actor for f***'s sake."

Hardy, 32, is engaged to British actress Charlotte Riley and has a 2-year-old son with a previous girlfriend. But still, he says, "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."

Referring to Hardy's "string of gay flings as a teenager," the Daily Mail notes the actor starred in Guy Ritchie's 'RocknRolla' as gay gangster Handsome Bob, who crushed on Gerard Butler's character.

"I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine," Hardy said, elaborating on his apparent bicuriosity. "A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes."

Hardy's notable roles have included Charles Bronson, Heathcliffe in Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights' and his breakout spot in 'Star Trek Nemesis.'

"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."

WOW. You can't get much more candid than that. Kudos to Tom for being able to admit what most men won't.

Congrats for displaying such a terrifically insulting attitude.

SHOCKING!!!! NOT! What would really be a shocker is for a young person to admit being heterosexual these days.

Who on earth would get engaged to a guy who has no clue about his sexuality. This is a doomed marriage in the making. Sexual problems will follow him into this marriage and it will destroy it eventually.

By Nico Toscani

Being a fairly liberal minded fellow I hate to agree with you on this one, but I do. This guy sounds like he should just deal with the fact he's gay and get on with his life.

Too light in the loafers for any woman, stick with men, how sickening, he needs to figure it out first before he makes some womans life miserable!! Gays are seriously troubled.. he need help

Hahaha, like sexual problems don't present themselves in most marriages. Like a married woman I once shagged said: "There's nothing sexy about cohabitation."

By Mark

Speak for yourself Dano. I don't think most men can relate to a guy who is so confused. I feel sorry for his future wife. The guy needs psychiatric help, not a marriage license.

By cd

Why does anyone have to ask him about his sexual preference? I've never seen him in anything before Inception and now I know his name and age and of course the most important thing about how "he has played with everything and everyone". I think kudos should go to the ones who maintain their privacy and refuse to answer the intrusive questions about their sexuality.

By just saying

He is a real man, not on the down low. I respect that.

By texthereok

Too much info.

By exoticdoc2

Grotesque. There's one good reason not to see Inception.

By Brent

A significant amount of straight guys talk about having a threesome with women and a considerable amount of straight women have no issue with kissing other women. I applaud Tom Hardy for being honest.

By dee

Whatever!!! He needs to stick with men. That poor women will regret being with him. If she knows this about him and still wants to get marry something is wrong with her..

What does he mean when he says: "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." And he still is engaged to get married... to a woman? Hollyweird is so f'd up!
