TORONTO, CANADA – September 14, 2015 (Gephardt Daily) — During the Toronto Film Festival, actor Tom Hardy was involved in a press conference for his new film, “Legend” when Graeme Coleman, from the LGBT publication ‘Daily Xtra,’ decided to ask the star about his sexuality.
The exchange went like this:
Coleman: “In the film, your character is very open about his sexuality. But given interviews you’ve done in the past, your own sexuality seems a bit more ambiguous.”
Hardy: “What on Earth are you on about?”
Coleman: “I was referring to your interview ‘Attitude’ magazine a few years ago.”
Hardy: “But what is your question?”
Coleman: “I was wondering if you find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality.”
Hardy: “I don’t find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality. Are you asking me about my sexuality?”
Coleman: “Sure.”
Hardy: “Why?”
Coleman: “Um…”
Hardy: “Thank you.”
