Tom Hardy

Year They Came Out of the Closet: teenage years

It may come as a surprise to some, but actor Tom Hardy once shared that he had romantic experiences with men during his teenage years. Reflecting on this time, Hardy commented, "As a boy? Of course, I have. I’m an actor. I’ve played with everything and everyone. I love the form and physicality, but it doesn’t do it for me now."

He added, "I’m done experimenting, but there’s plenty in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life." Hardy married producer Sarah Ward in 1999, but the couple divorced in 2004. He later dated Rachael Speed, with whom he had a son before parting ways in 2009. In 2014, Hardy married actress Charlotte Riley, with whom he has found lasting love.
