Though actor Tom Hardy bristled at Daily Xtra’s questions about sexuality during a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on Sept 13, 2015, touching off a media firestorm — other actors have embraced our questions at TIFF, and even welcomed the opportunity to shine a spotlight on sexuality and gender identity.

A post co-written by Robin Perelle and Kevin O’Keefe on Daily Xtra‘s website to defend its widely-derided novice reporter Graeme Coleman timidly asking Legend star Tom Hardy about a 2008 interview he gave to Attitude magazine and using examples of other celebs such as Evan Rachel Wood who’ve answered the question as evidence. Watch the super-awkawrd exchange between Hardy and Coleman below.
