Tom Hardy has the BEST response when asked about his sexuality

There is a time and a place to ask personal questions – and twenty minutes into a press conference is NEITHER the time or place. 

This is what one reporter found out yesterday when he asked Tom Hardy about his sexuality.

Daily Xtra reporter, Graeme Coleman posed the disconcerting question to Tom during the Toronto International Film Festival.

"In the film, your character, Ronnie, is very open about his sexuality. But given interviews you've done in the past, your own sexuality seems a bit more ambiguous. Do you find it hard for celebrities to talk to media about their sexuality?"

"What on earth are you on about?" Hardy asked, drawing the audience to laugh.

"I was referring to an interview given to Attitude magazine a few years ago," Graeme said.

This is where the interview takes on a whole new level of awkward.

"But what is your question?" the soon-to-be dad posed.

"I was wondering if you find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality," Coleman said.

You really need to see it to believe it, so here is a short clip of the awkwardly-funny moment. 

Also look at actress, Emily Browning's face at the end – it is priceless.
