It looks like Hollywood heart-throb Brad Pitt is desperate to cash in on the success of gay cowboy movie Brokeback Mountain, for the actor has allegedly ordered his agents to find him a role that has him playing a gay man in a new movie.
According to a source, Pitt became keen to play the part of a gay man after seeing the critical acclaim received by Brokeback Mountain.
"Brad has asked his people to find him a script to play a gay man. He's seen the critical acclaim that Brokeback Mountain has won and he wants a piece of it," The Sun quoted the source, as saying.
"He wants it to be a story that appeals to both men and women and he wants it to be the edgiest work he's done," the source added.
And though the actor is aware that he will be shocking a lot of his fans, he's nonetheless determined to go ahead with his gay plans.
"Brad knows it would be seen as shocking to take on a gay role because he's seen as such a heart-throb. But he has never shied away from taking on controversial films, and he has often chosen to do smaller, more challenging movies, rather than go for the big box-office smash," the source said.
I'm filing that one for future use.
Brad can always play Liberachy in a remake of Deliverance... you know where he takes his piano in a canoe down the river and the squeal like a pig scene... damn, it must be real art or something!
He already had a gay role in "Interview with a Vampire".
Bring on the lovers, liars, and clowns. :-)
i don't know if a 'heart throb' has ever done it though. maybe. i don't watch many movies. lol i DO know if Clint or Mel had done a gay part that would have been the last time i watched them!
lol! he will do anything to get worthless awards, what a moron!
Well he'll surely get an Oscar is he does it. That's what it's all about: Once you get an Oscar your pay scale moves right up.
The article I saw in my local socialist rag, i.e., the Des Moines Register, worded it that Pitt was looking for, "the ultimate gay role."
Well, I think we should help him out in finding a co-star. I was thinking a Honeymooners movie, with Pitt playing Ed Norton, and John Goodman as Ralph Kramden. (My apologies to Art Carney and Jackie Gleason.)
One of those HBO specials with comedians had a bit with a gay Ralph Cramden and Ed Norton. I think it was funny..
Who was it? Eddie Murphy?
I think Angelina's weird behavior is rubbing off on him.
"HumuhnuhHumuhnuhHumuhnuh...WAY TO GO RALPHY BOY!"
That was Eddie Murphy from Delirious. One of the funniest comedy concerts ever.
That's what makes it so easy.
I've been saying it for years...but women all over refuse to believe me...
I KNEW HE WAS A HOMO!!!!
Brad Pitt is a loser.
***Bingo***
The old phase was playing a retard. Now it's homos.
He must really be "THAT" stupid.
He needs to get out of the weirdo zone and try and find some ANTI-PC parts.
Then again he may want to commit career suicide. or maybe his new lady put the insanity in his ear.
