I for one hope James Franco, as well as Colin Ferrell are gay since they are both so sexy and have no problems playing gay roles. I like watching male actorswhether gay or straightconvincingly take on whatever role they play, since they are ACTORS!! Makes sense when you think about it. But if I discovered they are in fact gay, that's the cherry on top!!
I can think of a host of other actors besides Darren, and the aforementioned I wish were gay as well5b4 but then if they all suddenly came out, there wouldn't be many straight actors left! LOL
So even though it pains me Darren isn't gay, I'm extremely happy for him.

No he's notbut i wish he was
"The truth of the matter is that most men that take on gay roles are gay in real life (It takes one to know one)."
This is so ridiculous, so any actor who plays a drug addict or scientist must also be those things. -

well sean penn wanted to do some extra "gay love scenes" in the movie "Milk"- Sean wanted to show more affectionate w/his character and his lover who was played by James Franco.. Well Franco told the writer that they should just stick w/what they had bc he wasn't gonna go "any further, bc it wasn't necessary to do so" .. I do NOT think James Franco is gay, he is comfortable in his own skin - he does movies to play the roles NOT bc he's gay.. so sick of the rumors.. actors have come out of the closet - the guy from White Collar (forget his name), and a few more have as well just recently.. IF Franco was gay he would def come out the closet.. i know he dated marlo sokoloff(sp?), (he's been spotted w/diff women being affectionate) for many years - they lived together; Franco is the type of person who wouldn't hide the fact he's gay, bc it doesn't matter these days anymore - not like it did in the earlier years ex: Rock Hudson.

just bc james franco has taken a few "gay roles" doesn't mean he's gay; he's dated a few actresses in the past, but he's also private, so what? Matter of fact, it was Sean Penn who while filming "Milk" wanted to do more "explicit sex/love scenes", but Franco refused and said what the writer had written as far as the "sex scenes" went was enough. Franco is just comfortable in his own skin, also Franco has taken SO many studies in college; I see nothing wrong w/him expanding his education, no matter what type of class he's taking; he's very interested in directing and writing - but still has passion for acting as well. Just bc he's private w/his personal (love life) doesn't mean that he's gay. So sick of hearing that he's freaking gay, when he reads a role that requires him to play a gay character (and if its a good script) he will do it. Seems Hollywood has written him off as of late, even w/the couple of movies he recently did - I think one of them was for Disney. Franco is smart and is broading his horizons when in comes to the entertainment industry I freaking adore him and always will defend him. Again it was Sean Penn who wanted more "love scenes" b/w Franco and himself, and Franco believed that it was enough and that viewers already knew that they were a gay couple -lovers. Maybe question that crackpot Sean Penn- ever think of that? Of course not, aye?

I find it funny how people in this thread have talked about actors playing gay characters and how they even therefore would be gay themselves, according to some.
What about Neil Patrick Harris?
He's gay, yet he plays one of the biggest womanizers on the planet on How I Met Your Mother: BARNEY.
Does that make him straight? Of course not. So why would a straight person suddenly be gay if he/she portrayed a gay person?
I actually think that because of Neil Patrick Harris's "distance" to heterosexuality and sexual relations to women, he might have an advantage when playing the role compared to straight guys with an sexual/romantic connection to women haha. -

Why, oh, why does this subject only ever seem to come up in regards to actors playing gay characters?
Christian Bale played a serial killer in American Psycho but nobody asks if he's ever really murdered anybody.
Edward Norton played a skinhead in American History X but nobody asks if he's ever curb-stomped anybody.
Robin Williams played an obsessive stalker in One Hour Photo but nobody asks if ever terrorized anybody.
The point is they are actors and they are doing the job for which they were hired. Darren knew he was auditioning (th1c84ree or four times he said in one interview) to play a gay character on a hugely popular network show and I have huge respect for him that he is comfortable enough with his sexuality that he doesn't see it as a big deal.

So you met Darren at your friend's wedding?
How was he in person? He seems like a nice guy.
I bought 3 tickets to the "Glee Live" show in Chicago for June 4 and I'm going to drive 10 hours just to see him perform live! -

Although he says he's straight, I have a hard time believing he is.
That is not to say that playing a gay guy makes you gay or even that coming off as gay always means you are.
It's fine one way or the other, my gaydar just goes wild when I watch his interviews.
