Amen!
Slim and trimmed Colin Firth sat down to discuss his new flick, A Single Man, in which he plays 1960s homosexual college professor George Falconer, and began to talk about the role of gay and straight actors in Hollywood.
We think he hit the nail right on the head!
Colin commented:
“If you’re a straight actor who takes on the role of a gay man, it’s obviously not the same as being one in this business. I think there are still some constraints against being openly gay. It is to do with whatever sexual taboos are in place. In Hollywood, I know that some actors are far more circumspect about keeping that secret hidden. There are not a lot of openly gay leading men.”
No, there aren’t, but we’ve got a list a mile long of ones we’re pretty positive are feeling the constraints of the closet.
Care to confirm some names for us, Colin?
