For many moviegoers, their first sight of Tom Hardy came in Guy Ritchies British gangster film RocknRolla in 2008. Hardy played Handsome Bob, a member of One-Twos The Wild Bunch gang and a closeted homosexual who has a crush on Gerard Butlers Scottish mobster. A few years ago, Hardy was asked whether or not he had ever had sexual relations with other men, and he answered the question with typical candour: Of course I have. I'm an actor for f*ck's sake. I'm an artist. I've played with everything and everyone. But I'm not into men sexually. I love the form and the physicality but the gay sex bit does nothing for me. Not that Hardy has a problem with homosexuality or thinks of himself as particularly macho. In fact, he has said I feel intrinsically feminine, and claims to be anything but a hard man a surprising admission from an actor who has played several dangerous, intimidating characters with such apparent ease.
I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
