Denis Leary sat down with gay mag The Advocate to talk about his controversial book Why We Suck and things got….heated.
In the interview (which will be in next month’s issue) the interviewer grills the Rescue Me douche about a chapter in his book titled ‘Matt Dillon Is a Giant Fag’.
Mr. Interviewer asked what right Leary thinks he has to use the other F word. To that Leary said:
“I also have a chapter called, ‘We’d Hate You Even If You Weren’t Black’. I don’t believe in the power of words. My parents came from Ireland, where the [C-word] is literally a word your mother and father would use to describe the weather or the car: ‘That [C-word]ing car won’t start!’ And I come from a Catholic background where the nuns were always telling you, ‘Don’t do this, don’t say this,’ so any time anyone tells me I shouldn’t say something, my reaction is, ‘Why not?’ ”
Back in 2006, Elle magazine asked Leary to name a man he’d sleep with if his life depended on it. Leary’s answer was, “I’d shoot myself in the head.”
The Advocate decided to revisit that question and the slur slinger said, “I’d have to have my wife dress up as a man. I never met him, but I always really loved Paul Newman – not only as an actor, but also the way he carried himself . . . So I guess I’d have to dress my wife up as Paul Newman.”
Oh Denis, Denis, Denis.
What do we do with types like you and Jerry Lewis?
