Dashing hunk, Tom Hardy, who played the witty Mr Eames in “Inception” has cause quite a kerfuffle in the media on Friday by admitting in an interview with Now magazine that he fooled around with men when he was a teen.

In the interview he said that he had experimented with his sexuality in his youth but admitted that gay sex “does nothing” for him now that he’s hitting his thirties.

The 32-year-old actor was asked if he ever had sex with a man. He said “As a boy? Of course I have. I'm an actor for f**k's sake.

"I'm an artist. I've played with everything and everyone. But I'm not into men sexually. I love the form and the physicality, but the gay sex bit does nothing for me... To me it just doesn't compute now that I'm into my thirties and it doesn't do it for me. I'm done experimenting."

"There's plenty of other 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 don't think I'm metrosexual but I'm definitely my mother's son. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine."

Hardy was best known for his role in “Bronson” before Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” hit the screens. He has now been signed up for “This Means War” alongside Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon. The gorgeous actor was signed up over Sam Worthington (of “Avatar fame).

We will definitely be seeing more of this “artist” in the future…lucky us.
