Tom Hardy is not here for your lame questions about his sexuality

We get it, fellow entertainment reporters. Sometimes your editor wants you to ask some seemingly tangential question to the big-time celebrity you're chatting with, and you're thinking, This could go well and I'll break some news or this will be AWFUL and I hate everything. 

Awfulness rained down on one poor reporter at the Toronto Film Festival, who asked Tom about his sexuality and how celebs cope with being asked about their sexuality. Spoiler: Not well. (Tom plays a bisexual gangster in his new movie Legend and has, in the past, talked about experimenting sexually with men.)

Just watch -- and cringe -- for yourself above. The awkward exchange starts at the beginning of the clip.
