EOnline understandably disagrees:
"It's not a movie about two gay guys," Eastwood bitched when asked about Hoover's sex life. "It's a movie about how this guy manipulated everybody around him and managed to stay on through nine presidents. I mean, I don't give a crap if he was gay or not."In case you weren't aware, Eastwood is directing a movie about J. Edgar Hoover.
Well it should matter to you, Clint, because it's a big part of why "this guy" acted the way he did.
He was a shamed man who hunted down others to compensate for his self-loathing. At least, that's how we see it.
And that would make a hell of a drama!
Plus, it probably matters to out and proud writer Dustin Lance Black. But whatever, right?
