Clint Eastwood Didn’t De-Gay J. Edgar. There’s Still Plenty Of Snogging

Based on director Clint Eastwood’s WSJ interview, I know a lot of you are thinking his upcoming biopic J. Edgar isn’t going to be gay enough. But you are wrong! It just isn’t going to be cross-dressy. Except we already knew this; screenwriter Dustin Lance Black said he wasn’t going to let the FBI’s first-ever director appear in lady clothes because he couldn’t find concrete evidence he wore them. But that doesn’t mean the film, set to debut in 2012, is gonna be de-gayed. Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays the main man, will have a “a ton of kissing scenes” with co-star Armie Hammer, the The Social Network star says. “I am not nervous or afraid of it being awkward. The script is great. The scenes are in there for a reason.” Yeah, to scare off straight audiences! [photo via]
