I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine. I don’t think I’m metrosexual but I’m definitely my mother’s son. But there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. It just doesn’t do it for me, sex with another man. We’ve all got an arsehole and I can imagine. To me it just doesn’t compute now I’m into my 30s and it doesn’t do it for me and I’m done experimenting. In the same way as a wet vagina would turn someone else into a lemon-sucking freak. I love the form and the physicality but the gay sex bit does nothing for me. I’ve played with everything and everyone. Have you ever had any sexual relations with men?Īs a boy? Of course I have. Sexual relations with men in situations where it’s a necessity, like prison, are different from being homosexual. It’s such a tradition of London gangsters, the gay thing, what with the Krays. But in an accompanying interview with Attitude’s Simon Gage, Hardy let on that he wasn’t always one thousand percent heterosexual.
Now, it’s not uncommon for ostensibly straight men to pose for gay publications in Britain Daniel Radcliffe, for example, has graced the cover of Attitude at least twice. In 2008-ancient Hollywood history-Hardy posed for the December cover of the gay British magazine Attitude as part of a publicity tour for the “crime comedy” RocknRolla, in which Hardy played a closeted London gangster named Handsome Bob. But among his (many) gay fans, the 37-year-old British actor is perhaps best known for something very different: Admitting, and later denying he admitted, that he used to have sex with men. All who took part are to be commended.Tom Hardy is known for many things: His lead roles in Inception and Mad Max: Fury Road his embrace of feminism his intense love for dogs his shape-shifting beard his pillowy lips.
This film, which in turn is offers us charm, humour, sadness and pathos, offers no great thrills, shocks or drama (one can't help wondering how many people did not see this film at the cinema because of the title or in deed how many went because of the title and were disappointed not to find what they thought they would) nor any great love story, it is not a film that paints large more like a small water colour but like some water colours it is non-the-less beautifully painted. It is the day-to-day content that either holds relationships together or tares them apart. It is the small things that give meaning relationships are more often damned or celebrated because of the minutia rather than the big gestures. The film examines the minutia of various relationships with great tenderness and wit and like they say the Devil is in the detail.
Not a lot happens in the film, the pace is slow and meandering but not so slow that ones interest is lost and it never becomes dull. It is film that has many twists and turns, some more obvious than others, but even the obvious twists are still enjoyable. Only the most jaded and cynical could fail to appreciate this film the best film I have seen so far this year. It is skilfully crafted, beautifully shot and with superb acting. Scenes of a Sexual Nature is a very intelligent and subtle film.
