In 2010, James Franco has been the gift that keeps on giving, and this time it comes in form of male prostitution. In a televised interview with James Lipton for 'Inside the Actors Studio,' Franco reflects on the time when, researching a role, he ended up watching a gigolo have sex with a man.
"I found this guy that was kind of a perfect model," Franco said. "He claimed to service both males and females. He took me on one of his jobs."
At the time, Franco was studying for his role in 'Sonny,' where he played a male prostitute. To get a grasp for the part, Franco shadowed a gigolo in the back of a strip club, but things went a little further than he anticipated.
Sonny was released in 2002 and is currently available on DVD.
"The guy said, 'Oh, you wanna play a prostitute? You want some real research? Then come with us,'" Franco recalls. "It went down. Everything went down, as you see in the movies and hear about. The eerie thing is, it was like a movie, but it wasn't a movie -- it was the real thing, happening in front of me."
When asked what turns Franco on, the actor admitted to having strange furry temptations, saying, "Sometimes rabbits, like, turn me on. I don't know why."
Here's the video on the discussion about his "Sonny" experience:
We’re so used to men being so uncomfortable about their sexuality but actor Tom Hardy certainly isn’t!
A star of the box office smash Inception, Tom talked to Daily Mail and was asked if he’d ever had sexual relations with a man. Here’s his surprisingly candid answer: “As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for God's sake. ‘I’ve played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I’m in my thirties, it doesn’t do it for me. I’m done experimenting but there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine.’”
The 32-year-old actor (pictured below in a scene from Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio) is engaged to British actress Charlotte Riley, 28, and also has a two-year-old son with a former girlfriend.
In Guy Ritchie’s hit film Rock’n'Rolla, Tom starred as gay gangster Handsome Bob who had a crush on Gerard Butler.
A scene in new video game Dragon Age: Orgins features a secret gay sex scene between a man an a elf.
The new game, which has received high ratings, allows players to access the scenes by using the correct combination of chat-up lines on warrior elf Zevran.
Footage then turns to a romantic fireside embrace.
Although developer BioWare has been criticised by many fans, www.GayGamer.net welcomed the scene, describing it as "deliberate and respectful".
The website said: "With this bare-chested and unflinching portrayal, it feels as if the depiction of gay sex in video games has reached a new level of equal treatment.
"This is more than just a mincing gay pirate or an evasive fade-to-black: there's choreography, tenderness, humour and even an element of sexual politics to Zevran's post-coital conversation.
"Kudos to BioWare for adding a bit of a gay storyline to their game and for dealing with gay romance as even-handedly as they do the heterosexual options."
