Okay, so last week The Daily Mail ran several intriguingly delicious, homoerotic quotes from Tom Hardy’s interview with some British publication. In the interview, Tom Hardy allegedly (or not so) was asked about whether he’s ever boned a dude, and he said: “As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for f–k’s sake…I’ve played with everything and everyone… I love the form and the physicality, but now that I’m in my 30s, it doesn’t do it for me. I’m done experimenting but there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities, and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine. I feel intrinsically feminine. I’d love to be one of the boys but I always felt a bit on the outside. Maybe my masculine qualities come from overcompensating because I’m not one of the boys.”

So, that was totally hot. And it might have been totally wrong, and not in a “Oh, this is so wrong and naughty, I can’t believe Tom Hardy and his hot friend Gerard Butler want to have a three-way” kind of way. According to E! News’ Ted Casablanca, Tom’s people are trying to back-track on these quotes. Casablanca’s unnamed source tells E!: “It’s all taken out of context. He was discussing a gay role and quotes coming from the character.” Casablanca then goes on to note that the only time Tom Hardy has ever played a gay character was in RocknRolla, and he wasn’t playing an actor, he was playing a gangster.

So now all of the gay-issues sites that were getting all hot and bothered about Tom and his open bisexuality are now tut-tutting over the seeming double standard – that some idiot girl like Megan Fox can talk about relationships with girls and it adds to her popularity, but when a rising male star talks about it, he has to worry about his career. I don’t know though – for one, I don’t trust Ted Casablanca, and while he might have A source who said that sh-t, it doesn’t mean it’s a source close to Hardy. Until I see Hardy backtrack on his (alleged) comments, I’ll hold back my criticism. Plus, I just wanted an excuse to post more photos of him and pretend he’s on his way (with Gerard Butler) for a threesome.
