Was it just two years ago that Katy Perry could score with "I Kissed a Girl" while musically taunting her ex that "Ur So Gay"? Though Hardy has yet to follow up his prior comments with any new ruminations on sexuality, the enthusiasm with which his revelations have been accepted reflects a seismic shift in stardom's double standard. Entertainment Weekly has dubbed him "the LeBron James of sexualilty – everybody wants him" and yes indeedy they do. Was his admission a calculated PR strategy from an up-and-coming actor talking to the gay press, a way of staving off tawdry rumors before they wound up on the cover of The Star? Was it a hasty remark from a less-than-media-savvy performer who hadn't yet caught his big break? Does it matter? Because despite making it clear he's "done experimenting," and that "the gay sex bit does nothing for me," Hardy's admission that "There's plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life" was a winning change from typical Hollywood hyper masculine, let's-throw-a-homo-joke-in-every-ten-minutes celebrity culture. The appreciative delight with which the revelation has been met may perhaps best be summed up by the online commenter who cheered, in classic British fashion, "Phwoooooaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr." In fact, his star has risen exponentially since a revealing 2008 interview in the gay magazine Attitude was picked up late last month in the UK Daily Mail.

Yet Hardy – who played a gay mobster in "RocknRolla" – is discovering that frankness hasn't damned him to an immediate punt from the hot-young-thing list. What are blind items for, if not to chronicle the alleged homosexual dalliances of our heartthrobs? For prominent men to admit having had - and thoroughly enjoyed - gay experiences is something we've rarely seen since the height of glam rock. Are there pictures?īut for a dude to be even suspected of taking a walk on the wild side has traditionally been a potential career-killer. Ooh, tell us again about that time you were in bed with a girl, ladies. Lady Gaga writes "Poker Face" about her Sapphic experiences, and dating Samantha Ronson becomes the most interesting Lindsay Lohan has done in the last five years. Megan Fox talks about her crushes on strippers. Fergie says she's had "a lot of fun" with women. I've played with everything and everyone." Ladies and gentleman, a new kind of star is born.Ĭoming from a hot female starlet, a seemingly effortless admission of same-sex dabbling wouldn't just be par for the course, it'd practically be a ticket to the cover of Maxim. And when asked if he'd ever had sex with men, the "Inception" star will cheerfully, unabashedly say, "As a boy? Of course I have. He's engaged to marry his "Wuthering Heights" costar Charlotte Riley. Tom Hardy has a two-year-old daughter by an ex-girlfriend.
