"why?" Exactly! Why should anyone's sexuallity matter to anyone else in this day and age? Unless the reporter was planning on asking him out, in which case that reporter may want to work on his tact and his pick up game.
I think it's more about the current context. They're there to talk about the film. If it would've been a personal, intimate interview, the sexuality question might've been a bit more fitting.
Facelessify1 it’s because one of the characters is gay in it :) But I totally agree with you, even the fact that it was half about homosexuality is irrelevant to Tom hardy himself...To be honest, why would you bring it up in an intimate interview anyways! The dude should just zip it 🥶

I wouldn't be surprised if that reporter actually started to cook due to how red his face must have gone. Talk about embarrassing yourself. What a bizarre question to ask, very poorly worded as well. Tom shut him down harder than he snapped Batman's back, harder than he beat Mad Dog in the ring, fiercer than those screws he fought as Charles Bronson.

Anshul Dhawaria growing up tom hardy had many gay 1 night stands that's 100% genuine Evan now he's got a wife kids he still had gay encounters growing UP ---"""--- its common knowledge
Great guy Tom Hardy. He shuts the reporter down very politely, but also very firmly. The reporter was beating around the bush as if Tom was a moron. He had it coming.
The point is that it should not and does not matter. His sexuality has NOTHING to do with his job as an actor. It just doesn't. Some people feel obligated to share their sexual preferences in order to normalize "alternative" sexualities, but there is no necessity for it. It simply DOES NOT MATTER.
It dos matter and also Tom himself has used his sexuality to endear himself to the gay culture and has spoken about it in interviews. If it doesn't matter why did he ever mention it? Why do we know he used to take hard drugs? You say it doesn't matter but people obviously care and he has spilled details of his personal life to aid his career. Oh and he was pplaying a gay character in the film he was promoting.
+Shaina - Yeah. Thanks Shaina. Bravo for pointing out the obvious. You don't get social points for saying things that go without saying (even if you put them in all caps).
Its upto him and its his business where he prefers to put his dick. Its not relevant to his job, its not a relevant question to ask. So dont be surprised if he chooses not to answer it.
"Oh I know I think I'll ask this man a very personal question about his private life whilst he's on stage at a press conference - WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!"
EisenbergFlavour why do they even care about shit like that? It’s like they just try and push the gay narrative down our throats. Or up our arses, as they’d prefer
Michael Cain I knew a comment like this would happen and let me tell you that I’m gay and I cringed SO hard the second the lgbt interviewer started talking. I hate what our community is becoming but PLEASE remember that all of us are not like his ho ass
RickiiTensee oh no, don’t worry mate, I know not all of you are like this. It’s the people in the media that just try and force it upon us, where it’s not needed! It’s genuinely ridiculous
Michael Cain people in the media do that to make other people be comfortable with their sexuality. When the media recognizes or give attention to LGBT community, then suddenly they are “forcing” it to people. Just because it doesn’t concern you, it doesn’t mean it’s no help to someone. There are people out there who still hide and struggle with their sexuality. Some of them are being killed because of it.
Exactly like...he’s married to a beautiful woman...and there’s still people wonder about his sexuality?? Can’t imagine any more stupid people than the reporter who asked
Spaghetti Child i sound like tom hardy its the way some English men talk with deep accents and now ( what un earth are you un bout ) -------"""""""---------
Tom Hardy is a complete and true professional both on and off the screen. The reporters question was so out of context here and there was no question being asked. Tom will not tolerate crap and this is his signature. He was absolutely incredible in Legend which I saw this week at the cinema. Tom portrayed both Reggie and Ronnie Kray and at times I felt I was watching two different actors, Tom absolutely nailed it in my view. His intensity both on and off screen is his signature of being a true and complete professional who will not tolerate no crap. Tom's sexuality? How ridiculous to ask him that when he has been with the stunningly beautiful Charlotte Riley (Actress) for so long and adores her and is completely with her. Your god given professionalism Tom is your armour in this world.
+heavenly Light998 Who cares about his sexuality period.. His business really. And I agree, he is one of the great. Really appreciate his level of integrity and that he always displays it in just the right way.
Nope it wasnt oout of context. Tom has spoken about his experiementing with men in the past and he was playing the Krays, one of which was an open homosexual. Its not surprising that A) a gay magazine would be their and B) they might ask such a question. Also his initial question wasn't a direct question about Tom's sexuality, Tom just assumed that was being asked, when really the dude was asking "As someone who has spoken about his alternative sexuality in the past, do you think it is hard for celebrities to do so"
The comment by R above me is a feeble failure of an attempt at justifying a monumentally stupid question. Asking about celebrities talking about their IRL sexuality has nothing to do with Hardy playing a homosexual character, and the reporter did not ask this in specific relation to the movie character. Typical SJW move of “this is somewhat vaguely (actually not really) relevant to MY agenda, so of course it’s worth talking about!” While everyone else is thinking, “What in the everloving fuck was that question?” If only they knew how dumb they look to everyone else who doesn’t live in their bubble.
How is it possible for him to find it hard for others to talk about their sexuality? That's like saying I find it difficult to make others pee on my behalf.
actually the statement is factual. he is just ignorant. hes right. if you say your straight no one gives a shit. if your gay suddenly its a topic. its just the way he went about it implies he has the brain power of a fucking hung up sock puppet.
@@marktaylor7293 But if he’s not gay how would he know what that’s like. It’s like asking an asian dude “do you think it’s difficult to be black” like what?
@@marcusaboba It should be legal. That would be the last legal battle for societies. After that, then there is nothing more to pursue in terms equality under the law, Until that happens, do not complain that people are fighting for their rights.
@@vertigo2894 well... I think you misunderstood me. I'm not complainging about people fighting for their rights. I am complaining about people that make that fight necessary in the first place. And the problem starts exatcly when you care about what the others are doing with their lives. The way I see it, that's Tom's point.,
For example, he could have asked about what Tom thinks about gay marriage, LGBTQIA+ rights, etc. Not about HIS sexuality. It is no one business. If he talks about it, nice. If he doesn't, well... he is not obligated to.
Reporter should of been honest "Tom, are you gay? Boss doesn't like me much and I need something BIG" The round about way he was essentially asking that was fucking annoying.
Yeah in general i like Tom Hardy but he seemed a bit up himself. I particularly hate when people repeat what you have said to them in an attempt to make you look like and idiot, when if he was being sincere, he would have straight up asked him if he meant this or meant that.
+Craig Winter Well yeah, but as Tom Hardy said, "why"... If I was writing articles about puppies and came to that conference to ask about it, the could have had shut me down identically. It has nothing to do with the movie Legend or anything. Now if his character had a puppy in the movie, then I could ask. The question was pointless in the context of the movie, nobody gives two shits that the reporter cares only about LGBT stuff...
Fisho D I agree! Puppies, or sans puppies, I just think there's a time and a place for everything. Interviewers should leave the agenda at the door. Hardy is a good actor, I could care less whether he's a pitcher or a catcher, or whether he plays baseball or not.
it's actually not. since hardy was playing twins, why not ask about his siblings? maybe he would've liked to have a twin. maybe he'd hate it. now we'll never know because that guy blew the chance to ask. let's dig into his criminal history, given that he was portraying a criminal. nope. that guy works for a special interest group so he'll ask a special interest question.
what you gave in example and what the reporter asked are completely different questions. overall, it doesn't seem tom hardy is interested in taking a stand on what to him is probably just another character trait he portrayed. that reporter was attempting to get him to take a side, which is understandably annoying when you're just trying to get through a press junket, not be the face of lgbt hollywood.
Personally, I think reporters from any segment of the media, should NOT have a right to ask personal questions. It would create a climate of embarrassment for public figures for probably a long time.
they have a right to ask anything they want. free speech is protected. but being an asshole won't get them far in journalism, dude railroaded him for a reply so he could appropriate Tom to the lgbt cause but he ended up red faced. he had the right to ask and he learned he was better off minding his own bizz.
+MrLosknor He probably has the hots for Tom Hardy and was hoping he'd say yes, even though he is straight, with a wife and child. What a dumb ass question though. Good grief!
bane: "came back to die with your city mate?" (british accent) batman:"no i came back to stop u" bane: " Wot on earth are ya on about" " why would u wanna stop me" batman: "ehm....." bane: "thank u, now fack ouff"
I don't think so at all, asking a celebrity if he thinks celebrities find it difficult to discuss sexuality is an inane question, celebrities are individuals, Tom knows he can't speak for other celebrities motives and reasons, it's a ridiculous question and he responded properly. Hell David Bowie has responded to similar questions in a similar manner.
This was a shady question... he knew it was inappropriate to ask someone about something so personal... but he took that risk thinking he could outsmart Tom and get a little clue about his sexual preference without directly asking him LMAO what a clown. BTW: Tom has been married to a woman TWICE and has a child. 🤣
Marrying twice to women and producing a kid doesn't necessarily mean 'straight', he could still be gay. I think Tom is bisexual. I am straight, by the way.
People need to remember that just because a person is famous doesn’t mean that the public is entitled to know every aspect of their life. Some things are private.
This is one of the reasons why LGBT journalism is clowned on. What good does it do anyone to know if someone is gay, straight, bi, etc. people like the interview in this video ask loaded questions which can be used to push their agenda or to weaponise the answer against the target. They could do so much more with their time and energy, but here they are, asking pointless questions.
Because representation matters. You can't be or emulate if you can't see. It's not a pointless question. Young LGBT people need role models and at the time of this interview there weren't that many around at all.
@@ana.1485 Well it matters to LGBT+ audience's if a actor portrays a character that's at least somewhat like them. We did not have "plenty of them" in 2015. As of now your right it's everywhere but it wasn't back then so much. He portrayed a character who's sexuality was less than straight. I don't think asking a actor who does this what his or her thoughts on the sexuality of there character portrayed by them by a LGBT+ reporter representing a well-known LGBT+ magazine is abnormal. He could have made something up or gave a neutral response the question as opposed to getting snappy.
@@Not-Ap OK fair enough about 2015, but I think he was annoyed by the journalist because he's been asked so many times about his sexuality and it has been speculated so much online. He has a wife and kids. Now the alphabet gang makes it everything about them and it's annoying as hell.
@@ana.1485 I mean questions about sexuality are invasive yes but he's a celebrity who's job is live the lime light. This isn't atypical behavior. Rumour and speculation have always been apart being Hollywood celebrity since it's inception. That's why you mags People Magazine or National Enquire. People who follow Hollywood Celebrities love to follow there personal lives because it's part of there appeal not just roles they play in movies. Also you have to consider Hollywood has a long history discrimination against gay people and portrayals of them anything other then a stereotype. Also many Stars in the past were forced into sham marriages to create a wider appeal for there personal brand. If gay men detect that this might be happening they instantly hone in on it. Not to out the actor but because of lack positive role models in the gay world. Entering into these relationships is seen as the cowards way out. If actors explores there sexuality or has full blown affairs on the same sex and word of tis reaches the gay rumour mills intense ridicule will follow. Quite simply you can't be what you can't see at least in minds of the young. I'm not saying it's right... but gay and bisexual men have along history of stabbing each other in the back just to appear normal in front hetrosexuals publicly. This in turn creates alot of anger and resentment by those come out or are forced out young because the sacrifice means nothing if you stand alone. Maybe it doesn't justify prying into celebrities personal lives but it's frustrating that this might be still happening.
Reminds me of what happened to me at work. Me: [doing my job and minding my own business] My gay co worker completely out of the blue: Hey! Do you support gay pride?! (Asks me in a very interrogative manner) Me: No. [Then I go back to doing what I was doing] Gay coworker: 😲
The LBGTQPWXYZ community can't seem to understand that respect is a two way street - they demand respect and equality, yet ask invasive irrelevant bs like this
Who's "you"? What's with the irrelevant generalization. How did Tom Hardy disrespect the LGBT community to get in return such an idiotic question at a press conference?
drumeff "you" was in reference to the commenter who wants respect from the lgbt community but refuses to respect us by calling us the "LBGTQPWXYZ" community instead. I never said anything about Tom Hardy's answer and I don't think it was disrespectful.
Oh my fkn god, this community gets on my nerves - you want to force things down everyone’s throats and destroy kids tv shows making them all about Bert and Ernie being gay and very little else and yet you want everyone to love you at the same time? Sorry that’s not how the world works and stop acting as though the whole world agrees with you, simply because a few celebs loudly support your cause. Your cause is the biggest joke I’ve ever heard of - “Don’t discriminate against us” yet you all band together bullying anyone who doesn’t agree with you. I am by no means religious in any way as I think they are a bunch of pedos and nuns who go around kidnaping babies from single mums but there’s got to be a happy medium because I am so sick of the way this world is fkn going :(
@@theseeker2586 Idk if I agree with that. I see reasonable responses from them all the time. Particularly from the gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities. Not sure if i can say the same for the other letters in lgbtq+ tho xD
He hid the question and phased it in a way that doesn’t make sense , "do you find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality", that why Tom said what on Earth are you on about .
to the people here who need translation tom pretty much said "what I do in my private personal life is none of your or anybody elses mother fucking business"
What’s great is that this response from Tom went viral because of how badass and well handled the delivery of his answer was. Not because it was extreme or funny.
Why are people so obsessed with other peoples sexuality? The LGBT community wouldn't have to be this whole community fighting for rights if people didn't care so damn much. It's a personal thing to many people and sure, you can talk about it and it is often encouraged to, but at the right time, in the right situation. As a gay person my sexuality is always brought up by straight people at such weird moments, gay media need to stop doing it to people as well. Don't fight for rights and then try and force people to say they're gay because you want them to be. That's not about rights, or being open about sexuality, that's about trying to get hard on.
"Question" was stupid and unfocused. If he wanted to know if he was gay or straight or bi or whatever, he should have just asked it pointedly. Still deserved to get shut down because it's none of his business, but at least the question would be clear.
I get his point and he’s probably right but the question is relevant because he played a gay character that’s similar to asking someone who played an alcoholic in a movie if he ever was an alcoholic. It changes the dynamic of the film .

He wasn't a reporter, he was an LGBT freak.
"Do you find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality?"... The wording of the question makes no sense.
Yeah, its like he secretly wanted to ask if he gay but he just cant cause tom might think he's a freakshow.
It makes perfect sense. Is sexuality still stigmatized in your field. You can ask me right now if being gay and black is difficult, and I'm not a fucking baby so I'll actually answer instead of being a dick.
@@kittycatherine6938 The wording of the question does not make perfect sense. "Do you find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality" - Why would Tom find it difficult for other celebrities to talk about their sexuality?
@@safeword2375 That's just being ridiculous. As a native speaker, you KNOW what the man asking the question means. I'm not sure why now, all of a sudden, everyone has an English degree.
@@kittycatherine6938 It's not about having an English degree. It's about having a basic understanding of the English language. Why are you defending him? He asked a dumb question and worded it horribly. What is wrong with you.

Because your famous with a huge fan base........so people obviously want to know? I personally would have answered the fucking question lol what's the big deal.
Redfield 100% down to fan base mate, he might have a lot of fans that are gay that support him simply because they believe him to be gay... while at the same time he might lose supporters if he comes out as gay... ask Vin Diesel
You don't simply ask bane if he is a batty rider
Are you a batty rider?
adeel ahmad I don't have one of those, I ain't that way. Are you trying to pick me up here??
talking about batty rider and probably can't even pronounce your own damn name smfh
jonnyfendi2003 Who, me or adeel ahmad?
Jay Azathoth ahmad
He definitely answered that 100% appropriately. Very silly question, very silly clown, and it is really nobody's business
No, he's a pussy who answered like an asshole because he's afraid of being considered gay, which means he's not nearly as macho as the characters he plays.
@James Carter
No, he responded very accurately what are you talking about libtard
@@starchild.P He's a celebrity you nitwit. The whole point of his job is to not have privacy. If he wanted privacy he could've been a nuclear physicist and be paid 10x less for doing 50x harder job. You can't have it all you filthy social warrior tosspot.
@@miloradvlaovic WRONG! What an entitled fan you are that you have to demand everything from them like you own them or something. He's an actor, he get paid to do a job he has skills and talent for. You pay for a movie ticket to see a show/movie, not to invade their privacy and know everything. Wow, now I get most obsessed fans are entitled knowing they can't respect their idols.
@@setter_soul_waifu0930 Not a fan of his at all. I also don't give a toss about his sexual preference. I'm simply triggered when I see celebrities (look the word up) acting like they're working in the secret service. It's hypocritical, disingenuous, greedy and lazy. Ironically they're being the ones entitled.
"Why?"
- Tom Hardy, asking the important question.
"why?" Exactly! Why should anyone's sexuallity matter to anyone else in this day and age? Unless the reporter was planning on asking him out, in which case that reporter may want to work on his tact and his pick up game.
I think it's more about the current context. They're there to talk about the film. If it would've been a personal, intimate interview, the sexuality question might've been a bit more fitting.
Facelessify1 it’s because one of the characters is gay in it :) But I totally agree with you, even the fact that it was half about homosexuality is irrelevant to Tom hardy himself...To be honest, why would you bring it up in an intimate interview anyways! The dude should just zip it 🥶
Why do the DRACONIANS GIVE A DAMN ABOUT HER..........................SEX LIFE? They are making people think about it. They need to get over it!
“Pick up game”. You mean shut your damn mouth game? Why would a male ever need “pick up game” to talk to another male? He should save that for women.
whaaaat on earth u on about? mm .. Thank u. hahaha

I dont understand he answered the " why " as :
- i dont want to discuss it( because im from LGBTQ too )
Or
-i dont find a reason why you need to refuse my manliness.
+ teenie beenie : everythings ok as long as it doesnt scare the horses - but where is descretion these days --- these journalists are just trying to get a sound bite --- poor excuse... and it seems you are inferring something completely based on conjecture, why ? (as Hardy says)
No matter what he is into. Sexuality is something very personal and it couldn't be seen as a big deal.
+Panzer Soldat Thank Odin for what?
If there as such a thing as a one-eyed god that sacrificed their eye to be able to serve us with their wisdom by it, wisdom would be to understand that there is nothing to be thankful about in this subject. A persons sexual preference, whatever it is, is in and of itself uninteresting to speculate about for anyone that recognizes wisdom.
Panzer Soldat are you fit to be Tommy?
No?
Thought so. Lmao
+Daniel Alves but why would he ask that? i mean, tom is a married man with kids soo..
Only if your gay or lonely. If you have a girlfriend or wife, or boyfriend, husband (depending on gender) it's kinda hard to hide that fact
+Panzer Soldat agree
I wouldn't be surprised if that reporter actually started to cook due to how red his face must have gone. Talk about embarrassing yourself. What a bizarre question to ask, very poorly worded as well. Tom shut him down harder than he snapped Batman's back, harder than he beat Mad Dog in the ring, fiercer than those screws he fought as Charles Bronson.
smackedinthejaw hahaha this comment. Loved it
Every so often I come back to watch this clip just for the joy of seeing someone handle an unnecessarily awkward situation with extreme class.
Tom hardy's sexuality is that he is the most manly man ever.
Anshul Dhawaria "He's the most manly man ever." Oh so you've met the other 3.5+ billion other men in the world to see if he's more manly than them? No? Then shut up.
Clayton Hernandez you sound very insecure. A typical beta male. We can cross another one off the list from that 3.5b
interbeing Typical beta male? STFU. It's annoying as fuck when people say "most manly man in the world" when that person didn't check the other 3.5 billion other men in the world. They only focus on movie stars like there's no such thing as more manly men who are unknown.
And you're clearly an idiot if you think you can judge my whole being when you don't even know me or have never seen me. Lmao you just saw one little comment that desired a more corrected comment such as "He's manly." But not, "He's the most manly man ever even though I've only witnessed a few thousand people in my life." Notice how that had nothing to do with me? Fucking idiot.
Yes, you are very manly and alpha. One little comment can reveal a lot about a person. You are getting upset over something ridiculous. A true keyboard warrior. People who react and make comments like this usually can't even look you in the eye in real life. I can see why you are upset. Let it all out. It's the only place you can
Anshul Dhawaria growing up tom hardy had many gay 1 night stands that's 100% genuine Evan now he's got a wife kids he still had gay encounters growing UP ---"""--- its common knowledge
Bottom line is.. it's none of anyone's business as to what his sexuality is. These kinds of questions are loaded and he handled it very well!
Great guy Tom Hardy. He shuts the reporter down very politely, but also very firmly. The reporter was beating around the bush as if Tom was a moron. He had it coming.
hzh hzh is a diccc
The point is that it should not and does not matter. His sexuality has NOTHING to do with his job as an actor. It just doesn't. Some people feel obligated to share their sexual preferences in order to normalize "alternative" sexualities, but there is no necessity for it. It simply DOES NOT MATTER.
It dos matter and also Tom himself has used his sexuality to endear himself to the gay culture and has spoken about it in interviews.
If it doesn't matter why did he ever mention it? Why do we know he used to take hard drugs? You say it doesn't matter but people obviously care and he has spilled details of his personal life to aid his career.
Oh and he was pplaying a gay character in the film he was promoting.
+Shaina - Yeah. Thanks Shaina. Bravo for pointing out the obvious. You don't get social points for saying things that go without saying (even if you put them in all caps).
It doesn’t matter but people want to know.
Its upto him and its his business where he prefers to put his dick. Its not relevant to his job, its not a relevant question to ask. So dont be surprised if he chooses not to answer it.
Woah, his voice is so soothing
azTrevor no not imo
azTrevor That's (partly) why grown ass adults tune in everytime he does bedtime stories for CBeebies, whether they have kids or not.
"Oh I know I think I'll ask this man a very personal question about his private life whilst he's on stage at a press conference - WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!"
Why is it that gay reporters seem to think that everyone is gay???
"this is ...from LGBT News"...ok we knew where this was heading to
Yup, Tumblr and SJW communities
EisenbergFlavour why do they even care about shit like that? It’s like they just try and push the gay narrative down our throats.
Or up our arses, as they’d prefer
Michael Cain I knew a comment like this would happen and let me tell you that I’m gay and I cringed SO hard the second the lgbt interviewer started talking. I hate what our community is becoming but PLEASE remember that all of us are not like his ho ass
RickiiTensee oh no, don’t worry mate, I know not all of you are like this. It’s the people in the media that just try and force it upon us, where it’s not needed! It’s genuinely ridiculous
Michael Cain people in the media do that to make other people be comfortable with their sexuality. When the media recognizes or give attention to LGBT community, then suddenly they are “forcing” it to people. Just because it doesn’t concern you, it doesn’t mean it’s no help to someone. There are people out there who still hide and struggle with their sexuality. Some of them are being killed because of it.

"What on Earth are you on about?"
Spaghetti Child i sound like tom hardy its the way some English men talk with deep accents and now ( what un earth are you un bout ) -------"""""""---------
Yes, that's what he said. Very good. Do you want a sticker?
Tom Hardy is a complete and true professional both on and off the screen. The reporters question was so out of context here and there was no question being asked. Tom will not tolerate crap and this is his signature. He was absolutely incredible in Legend which I saw this week at the cinema. Tom portrayed both Reggie and Ronnie Kray and at times I felt I was watching two different actors, Tom absolutely nailed it in my view. His intensity both on and off screen is his signature of being a true and complete professional who will not tolerate no crap. Tom's sexuality? How ridiculous to ask him that when he has been with the stunningly beautiful Charlotte Riley (Actress) for so long and adores her and is completely with her. Your god given professionalism Tom is your armour in this world.
+heavenly Light998 Who cares about his sexuality period.. His business really. And I agree, he is one of the great. Really appreciate his level of integrity and that he always displays it in just the right way.
Nope it wasnt oout of context. Tom has spoken about his experiementing with men in the past and he was playing the Krays, one of which was an open homosexual. Its not surprising that A) a gay magazine would be their and B) they might ask such a question. Also his initial question wasn't a direct question about Tom's sexuality, Tom just assumed that was being asked, when really the dude was asking "As someone who has spoken about his alternative sexuality in the past, do you think it is hard for celebrities to do so"
The comment by R above me is a feeble failure of an attempt at justifying a monumentally stupid question. Asking about celebrities talking about their IRL sexuality has nothing to do with Hardy playing a homosexual character, and the reporter did not ask this in specific relation to the movie character.
Typical SJW move of “this is somewhat vaguely (actually not really) relevant to MY agenda, so of course it’s worth talking about!” While everyone else is thinking, “What in the everloving fuck was that question?”
If only they knew how dumb they look to everyone else who doesn’t live in their bubble.
HAHAHA..."Why?"....that was terrific. Some people have some real freakin issues.
This is not the time for claps. That comes later
of course!
for you.
"Why?"
"Coz i m gay and i came openly about my sexuality."
"Nobody gives a shit about ur sexuality nor should u.Thank U."
How is it possible for him to find it hard for others to talk about their sexuality? That's like saying I find it difficult to make others pee on my behalf.
actually the statement is factual. he is just ignorant. hes right. if you say your straight no one gives a shit. if your gay suddenly its a topic. its just the way he went about it implies he has the brain power of a fucking hung up sock puppet.
Lmao ikr 😂
That's the point bone head
@@marktaylor7293 But if he’s not gay how would he know what that’s like. It’s like asking an asian dude “do you think it’s difficult to be black” like what?
And that's why the world is the way it is: people are caring with things that should not be cared.
When gay marriage is legal everywhere, then we will stop worrying.
@@vertigo2894 gay marriage is not legal everywhere exactly because people care with what others do with their bodies. Live and let live.
@@marcusaboba It should be legal. That would be the last legal battle for societies. After that, then there is nothing more to pursue in terms equality under the law, Until that happens, do not complain that people are fighting for their rights.
@@vertigo2894 well... I think you misunderstood me. I'm not complainging about people fighting for their rights. I am complaining about people that make that fight necessary in the first place. And the problem starts exatcly when you care about what the others are doing with their lives. The way I see it, that's Tom's point.,
For example, he could have asked about what Tom thinks about gay marriage, LGBTQIA+ rights, etc. Not about HIS sexuality. It is no one business. If he talks about it, nice. If he doesn't, well... he is not obligated to.
Emily was trying so fucking hard to not laugh during all the silence so she just took a drink
“Hi, I’m gay, and was just wondering if you’re gay. Asking for my gay newspaper company.”
Hardy is a straight male. The response he gives is justified, because heterosexual men do not answer ridiculous questions concerning their sex life.

The round about way he was essentially asking that was fucking annoying.

shut up. they were both blubbering morons. stop kissing Hardy's ass.
+ListenAndLearned my god how har up Tom hardy's ass are you
Yeah in general i like Tom Hardy but he seemed a bit up himself. I particularly hate when people repeat what you have said to them in an attempt to make you look like and idiot, when if he was being sincere, he would have straight up asked him if he meant this or meant that.
At 0:45 it's pretty much over. Just FYI.
The questioner introduced himself as being from some LGBT organization, and had an apparent motive behind the question.
what
Craig Winter what
+Craig Winter Well yeah, but as Tom Hardy said, "why"... If I was writing articles about puppies and came to that conference to ask about it, the could have had shut me down identically. It has nothing to do with the movie Legend or anything. Now if his character had a puppy in the movie, then I could ask. The question was pointless in the context of the movie, nobody gives two shits that the reporter cares only about LGBT stuff...
Fisho D I agree! Puppies, or sans puppies, I just think there's a time and a place for everything. Interviewers should leave the agenda at the door. Hardy is a good actor, I could care less whether he's a pitcher or a catcher, or whether he plays baseball or not.
+Craig Winter so if they knew about his sexuality then what?
I'm a heterosexual male and I find it difficult to talk about how I feel about Tom Hardy.
why? they really should ask such a dumb question.. when they talking about a movie "Legend"
if you feel anything sexual for tom you are gay dear ...
You're not alone, my friend.
Why is the LGBT culture so obsessed about knowing celebrities sexuality
i know, is super weird, it's like the only thing they're able to talk about

who gives a fuck about his sexuality this man is a gentleman!
Good for him. What sort of a dumb question was that?!
the "reporter" wanted one more on the team as if we're at all separate from one another.
lgbt team... cuz we keepin' score, apparently.
it's actually not. since hardy was playing twins, why not ask about his siblings? maybe he would've liked to have a twin. maybe he'd hate it. now we'll never know because that guy blew the chance to ask. let's dig into his criminal history, given that he was portraying a criminal. nope. that guy works for a special interest group so he'll ask a special interest question.
what you gave in example and what the reporter asked are completely different questions. overall, it doesn't seem tom hardy is interested in taking a stand on what to him is probably just another character trait he portrayed. that reporter was attempting to get him to take a side, which is understandably annoying when you're just trying to get through a press junket, not be the face of lgbt hollywood.
Personally, I think reporters from any segment of the media, should NOT have a right to ask personal questions. It would create a climate of embarrassment for public figures for probably a long time.
Robert Polanco Reporters don't have a right to get an answer.
They should have a right to ask anything but celebrities have the right to not answer.
they have a right to ask anything they want. free speech is protected. but being an asshole won't get them far in journalism, dude railroaded him for a reply so he could appropriate Tom to the lgbt cause but he ended up red faced. he had the right to ask and he learned he was better off minding his own bizz.
Respect to Tom Hardy one of my favourite actors

Yeah that was unprofessional
Night Rider sure it was
For the reporter? Absolutely
I don't think so at all, asking a celebrity if he thinks celebrities find it difficult to discuss sexuality is an inane question, celebrities are individuals, Tom knows he can't speak for other celebrities motives and reasons, it's a ridiculous question and he responded properly.
Hell David Bowie has responded to similar questions in a similar manner.
Night Rider you are unprofessional
None of that reporter's business. Now he wipes egg from his face. Doh
This was a shady question... he knew it was inappropriate to ask someone about something so personal... but he took that risk thinking he could outsmart Tom and get a little clue about his sexual preference without directly asking him LMAO what a clown.
BTW: Tom has been married to a woman TWICE and has a child. 🤣
I love how he humiliated that "reporter" punk. In public, to boot.
Marrying twice to women and producing a kid doesn't necessarily mean 'straight', he could still be gay. I think Tom is bisexual. I am straight, by the way.
People need to remember that just because a person is famous doesn’t mean that the public is entitled to know every aspect of their life. Some things are private.
Tom's response IS my sexuality lmao
"I don't find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality." Brilliant answer to a stupid question.
Tom is clearly a man who answers directly and refuses to be pulled into anyone’s agenda.
Tom is an absolute legend
I like Tom Hardy's reply, it is really nobody's business to know about his sexuality. He should have asked the reporter about his sexuality !!
0:17 what a look
This is one of the reasons why LGBT journalism is clowned on. What good does it do anyone to know if someone is gay, straight, bi, etc. people like the interview in this video ask loaded questions which can be used to push their agenda or to weaponise the answer against the target.
They could do so much more with their time and energy, but here they are, asking pointless questions.
Because representation matters. You can't be or emulate if you can't see. It's not a pointless question. Young LGBT people need role models and at the time of this interview there weren't that many around at all.
@@Not-Ap you have plenty of them what more do you want?? Enough with this representation stuff, you sound like an American
@@ana.1485 Well it matters to LGBT+ audience's if a actor portrays a character that's at least somewhat like them. We did not have "plenty of them" in 2015. As of now your right it's everywhere but it wasn't back then so much. He portrayed a character who's sexuality was less than straight. I don't think asking a actor who does this what his or her thoughts on the sexuality of there character portrayed by them by a LGBT+ reporter representing a well-known LGBT+ magazine is abnormal. He could have made something up or gave a neutral response the question as opposed to getting snappy.
@@Not-Ap OK fair enough about 2015, but I think he was annoyed by the journalist because he's been asked so many times about his sexuality and it has been speculated so much online. He has a wife and kids. Now the alphabet gang makes it everything about them and it's annoying as hell.
@@ana.1485 I mean questions about sexuality are invasive yes but he's a celebrity who's job is live the lime light. This isn't atypical behavior. Rumour and speculation have always been apart being Hollywood celebrity since it's inception. That's why you mags People Magazine or National Enquire. People who follow Hollywood Celebrities love to follow there personal lives because it's part of there appeal not just roles they play in movies.
Also you have to consider Hollywood has a long history discrimination against gay people and portrayals of them anything other then a stereotype. Also many Stars in the past were forced into sham marriages to create a wider appeal for there personal brand. If gay men detect that this might be happening they instantly hone in on it. Not to out the actor but because of lack positive role models in the gay world. Entering into these relationships is seen as the cowards way out. If actors explores there sexuality or has full blown affairs on the same sex and word of tis reaches the gay rumour mills intense ridicule will follow. Quite simply you can't be what you can't see at least in minds of the young.
I'm not saying it's right... but gay and bisexual men have along history of stabbing each other in the back just to appear normal in front hetrosexuals publicly. This in turn creates alot of anger and resentment by those come out or are forced out young because the sacrifice means nothing if you stand alone. Maybe it doesn't justify prying into celebrities personal lives but it's frustrating that this might be still happening.
Reminds me of what happened to me at work.
Me: [doing my job and minding my own business]
My gay co worker completely out of the blue: Hey! Do you support gay pride?! (Asks me in a very interrogative manner)
Me: No. [Then I go back to doing what I was doing]
Gay coworker: 😲
The LBGTQPWXYZ community can't seem to understand that respect is a two way street - they demand respect and equality, yet ask invasive irrelevant bs like this
And you still refuse to respect us, so i guess we both have some work to do.
Who's "you"? What's with the irrelevant generalization. How did Tom Hardy disrespect the LGBT community to get in return such an idiotic question at a press conference?
Exactly - some people just can't seem to find happiness at the end of any rainbow :p
drumeff "you" was in reference to the commenter who wants respect from the lgbt community but refuses to respect us by calling us the "LBGTQPWXYZ" community instead. I never said anything about Tom Hardy's answer and I don't think it was disrespectful.
Oh my fkn god, this community gets on my nerves - you want to force things down everyone’s throats and destroy kids tv shows making them all about Bert and Ernie being gay and very little else and yet you want everyone to love you at the same time? Sorry that’s not how the world works and stop acting as though the whole world agrees with you, simply because a few celebs loudly support your cause. Your cause is the biggest joke I’ve ever heard of - “Don’t discriminate against us” yet you all band together bullying anyone who doesn’t agree with you. I am by no means religious in any way as I think they are a bunch of pedos and nuns who go around kidnaping babies from single mums but there’s got to be a happy medium because I am so sick of the way this world is fkn going :(
If you're a guy who writes from a gay or trans magazine, never ask a real man like Tom about his sexuality.
“Real man like Tom” makes you sound pretty gay
It's rare to find common sense in a Hollywood celebrity
It's rare to find common sense in lgbt members
@@theseeker2586 Idk if I agree with that. I see reasonable responses from them all the time. Particularly from the gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities. Not sure if i can say the same for the other letters in lgbtq+ tho xD
He hid the question and phased it in a way that doesn’t make sense , "do you find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality", that why Tom said what on Earth are you on about .
I love how he never loses control or cops an attitude, he just curiously asks as to why is this even important? And he's right. Tom's a great guy.
Hahahah I'd love to see the reporter's face.
The way Tom Hardy just shot him down, was just brilliant. Simply brilliant. 👍
to the people here who need translation tom pretty much said
"what I do in my private personal life is none of your or anybody elses mother fucking business"
What’s great is that this response from Tom went viral because of how badass and well handled the delivery of his answer was. Not because it was extreme or funny.
Tom Hardy's sexuality is Bane.
The perfect response to a stupid question.
Why are people so obsessed with other peoples sexuality? The LGBT community wouldn't have to be this whole community fighting for rights if people didn't care so damn much. It's a personal thing to many people and sure, you can talk about it and it is often encouraged to, but at the right time, in the right situation. As a gay person my sexuality is always brought up by straight people at such weird moments, gay media need to stop doing it to people as well. Don't fight for rights and then try and force people to say they're gay because you want them to be. That's not about rights, or being open about sexuality, that's about trying to get hard on.
THIS 1000 times!!!
FAAAAAAAACCCCTS
Facts.
Fair call Tom, that question was out of line.
Tom Hardy is not gay. Not matter how much the LGBT community want him to be.
"Question" was stupid and unfocused. If he wanted to know if he was gay or straight or bi or whatever, he should have just asked it pointedly. Still deserved to get shut down because it's none of his business, but at least the question would be clear.
Clearly not interested in getting into identity politics. Refreshing change for an actor.
"Why?"
Well you make me questioned mine
I love Tom's face when listening to the question
I get his point and he’s probably right but the question is relevant because he played a gay character that’s similar to asking someone who played an alcoholic in a movie if he ever was an alcoholic. It changes the dynamic of the film .
a perfect example of how society should treat peoples sexuality. "no its not hard to talk about but why are you asking"
