I am a film buff and follow the British film scene closely. Also a fan of him (superb actor).
I also have worked (briefly) in the UK film business and have friends still there. So I know all the gossip and whats true and not.
I don’t think Hardy was being serious. And you wouldn’t be the first Yank to not ‘get’ dry British humour.
‘In 2008, Tom was quoted as responding ‘Of course I have’ when asked by Attitude Magazine if he had relations with men.
He said: ‘As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for f***’s sake. I’m an artist. I’ve played with everything and everyone.’
He’s a one woman man: Tom married English actress Charlotte Riley in 2014 and they’re currently expecting their first child together - the actor has a son called Louis Thomas from a previous relationship
However three years later, Hardy explained that his words were ‘misconstrued’ in a candid chat with Marie Claire in 2011.
Tom asserted: ‘I don’t regret anything I’ve ever said It’s just a shame things are misconstrued and I don’t get the opportunity to explain.’
He continued: ‘I have never put my penis in a man. I’ve never had a c*** in my a***, and I have no f***ing desire for it. If that’s what you like, cool. But it doesn’t do it for me.’
