- TIFF: ‘LEGEND’ STAR TOM HARDY FIR BACK AFTER REPORTER’S GAY QUERY
- TOM HARDY HAD NO PROBLEM SWCHG BETWEEN GAY AND STRAIGHT CHARACTERS 'LEGEND'
IS TOM HARDY GAY?
* gay tom hardy *
On Sunday, at a prs nference at the Toronto Internatnal Film Ftival for Hardy’s new movie Legend, which Hardy plays a gay man, reporter Graeme Coleman om the LGBT news outlet Daily Xtra asked Hardy: “Do you fd hard for celebri to talk to media about their sexualy? There is nothg embarrassg about beg gay. Askg someone if he or she is gay is the equivalent of askg if they are married, if they were raised Christian, of if they have a bachelor’s gree.
Jt bee beg gay affects who a person has sex wh, this is not a qutn about his or her sex life.
The reason why some people don’t want to ask—both at prs nferenc and at cktail parti—is bee there is still that ltle lgerg doubt the back of their mds that there is somethg wrong wh homosexualy. If you ask someone whether he or she is gay, and he or she is not, they should not feel badly about themselv or about you. Gay people are, most s, happy to tell you that they are gay.
