Screenwriter Dustin Lance Black concluded during his research that while J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI’s first director, was probably gay, he likely did not cross-dress. Which means Leonardo DiCaprio, who’s playing Hoover in J. Edgar, won’t be put in any lady frocks by the costume designers. He will, however, still be smooching Armie Hammer, who played both Winklevoss twins in The Social Network.

I don’t want to see Leo in a dress, anyway. But Leo kissing Armie Hammer? Oh, yeah!!!

Who’s playing Clyde Tolson? That was Hoover’s “best buddy”

This is great! I can’t wait to watch the homophobic conservative right wingers go into epileptic fits over this film. Should be fun!

Well Armie played the head of both twins, but one was actually played by a different actor with Armie’s face super-imposed on it….which is all kinda of creepy
