As the saying goes - you’re straight until you aren’t.

Bradley Cooper...

I have an issue with numbers five and especially eight.

Isn’t it more fun to guess about the gay actors who went straight?

Marsden also played a gay character in the film "Sex Drive", Cooper also played gay in "Maestro" and fleetingly in "Valentine's Day".

British actor Jay Lycurgo has played gay/bi in the film "The Radleys" and in tv series "Titans", "The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself".

I know a somewhat ridiculous amount of film trivia, but it somehow does not include several of these movies. I do, however, know that "The D Train" was originally titled "Bad Bromance," so I have to question just how gay either actor was onscreen.

Will Smith is more famous for *not* going gay in "Six Degrees" (his character's kiss onstage isn't in the film, 'cause it'd be too "faggy").

"The Rules of Attraction"? Seriously? Why not just list Josh Jackson's gay blackmailer from "Cruel Intentions," still one of the gayest non-gay movies ever.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt in "Mysterious Skin" OTOH was arguably the best way to eliminate any past as "that kid from 'Third Rock Around the Sun'." Btw his WAY younger (at the time) co-star, Brady Corbet – then barely 16 – just directed "The Brutalist," which of course had a fuckload of Oscar noms.

Also, I must be a horrible gay, because I didn't know "Little Ashes" had any queer content.

I feel Paul Mescal has earned his place on the list for "All of Us Strangers" (in which he licked cum off a man's body) and "The History of Sound."

Hell, he even showed copious Irish cock in "Normal People," though he didn't play gay.

That's 13 actors, OP.

That's entertainment!

WTF even is this list? Like how are they ranking this? Are these supposed to be the best performances? The amount of gayness? Robert Pattinson supposedly really jerked off in Little Ashes (although you only see his O face) - does that give him a boost?

I’m surprised Heath Ledger wasn’t on the list.
