"Mark Wahlberg is glad filmmaker Ang Lee passed over him when he cast Brokeback Mountain, because the Oscar nominee was "a little creeped out" at the prospect of having to play a gay cowboy. The Departed star reveals he and pal Joaquin Phoenix were originally considered for the roles of Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist in the 2005 film - but both felt uncomfortable about sex act scenes in a tent. Wahlberg explains, "I met with Ang Lee on that movie, I read 15 pages of the script and got a little creeped out. It was very graphic, descriptive -- the spitting on the hand, getting ready to do the thing. I told Ang Lee, 'I like you, you're a talented guy, if you want to talk about it more...' Thankfully, he didn't."
@9: So a guy who is "creeped out" by the idea of having anal sex with another guy is automatically a homophobic douchebag?
It pisses me off when people like you throw the word "homophobic" around indiscriminately. I'm creeped out by a lot of the sex acts described in Savage Love, many of them between same-sex partners, but often between opposite-sex partners. Doesn't make me a homophobe. Douchebag.
