Palin is one of the film world's most arrogant queens, not just gay or homosexual or anything but a raving queen, a real "whoops get her don't mind me dear" limp wristed charicature and he married and had kids partly for the publicity but mostly to cover up the fact that he is an effeminate little poof, a mincing gay bar loiterer, a whinnet covered walking perfume shop and evil pervert who wears high heels, suspenders and a bra.

Alright. I'll bite 7 years after this thread and this comment was made.
[]Palin paused when asked what his greatest
regret
in life was before replying that
he wished he had been born a man
. "It's been a right battle ever since," he lamented to loud laughter.

he is a bit more tense around men than when's around women.
Funny. The opposite of that, being more tense around women than men, has also been one reason Internet beep flout as possibility that So-And-So actor is gay.
Let it be. I hate it when people try to interpret an actor through interviews and the movies they do, and make hypothesises about their personal lives. If he's gay (and he's not,) it's none of your business, the persona he asserts is one of a heterosexual person, what more information has he given you that lets you say, "No way, because of this and this, you've got to be gay." Which is also a homophobic thing to do, to say, "Yeah, feminine/tense/timid behaviour is of gay people, so I'm going to try and guess people's sexual orientation based upon their behaviour." Sexual orientation does not define someone's personality.
You don't know him, don't pry into his personal life, especially his bedroom!
Good grief, you know some people diagnose Rowan Atkinson as being autistic in real life, speculate on Hugh Laurie's private emotional state, all this beep

I AD

He may have seemed uncomfortable around other men he worked with{although ive never noticed it myself}because he's a more laid back type of person compared to some of the other people he's worked with especially some of the Python team {John Cleese being one}who were more intense types and much more likely to fly off the handle which may have made him a bit on edge.
And from what ive seen on some of his programmes his marriage{over 40 years now}looks a very ordinary sincere one,and certainly doesnt look like theres anything to hide.
And considering it is now 2007 im sure he would come out of the closet by now if he was.

Fancy him , do you ?

Has no one heard of being bi before? lol People can be attracted to both sexes you know
Mike Nelson (from MST3K): Doesn't the fact that it's universal make it international?

He is not gay, he is a very happily married father of three who is friendly, literate and very talented. I had the pleasure of meeting hima few years ago in North London and he was incredibly nice and very funny.
Just because a man is softly spoken and well mannered doesn't make him gay!

But he's been married to the same woman for forty yearsif gayhe hides it better than anyone ive heard of..

wellsome gay men do sometimes get married to a woman for whatever reason, have kids etc. i mean you do hear about it, i think michael barrymore got married and he's gay(isn't he? i may have just got very confused), and like I always thought Paul O'Grady was gay, and he's got a daughter (although, again, I am perhaps not accurate on my 1354information,but you get my point).
that said, I don't think Michael Palin is gay.

no he isnt gay he has 3 kids hello hes married 3 kids GAY i dont think so dude

did you not think that maybe hes tense around men he doesnt know because hes uncomfortable around men? that means he NOT gay..pft u talk sh*t. in his day getting married early was not unsual and perfectly acceptable. he worked with a group of men for over 3 years during monty python pft to you again!
