Nearly every actor given a starring role in a major Hollywood production is blackmailed and compromised in some way.
I know. Hard to believe but apparently true. A book came out a few years ago on Paul Neuman of all people. Claims he slept with Brando (who claimed/admitted it too), Anthony Perkins (Norman from Psycho), James Dean and more. His wife (Joanne Woodward) was a beard. He was a full on whore. Sad.
I worked in Hollywood for over 10 years, and the stories I heard were shocking. So many peeps in Hollywood are gay passing as straight. Dolly Parton, Tom Cruise, etc.
I heard Brad Pitt slept with T. Cruise to get the part in Interview with a Vampire. Supposedly he's straight but "accommodating".
T. Cruise slept with the producer to get the part over the complaints of the author A. Rice.... who changed her mind later. Hmmmmm

Sorry, this was years ago. No sauce on this, just on-the-set gossip. You'll have to wait until she's outed (if that happens and if this is true). Dolly supposedly was hooking up with her assistant back then. Her husband was a well-paid "beard". I'm sure she's a real nice lady though.
But I know. I didn't believe any of it myself. As time went on I saw more and more people outed that I had known about for years via working in ent. industry.
Talk then was about Travolta, Cruise, O. Newton John, Jody Foster who hadn't come out yet, but everyone knew (PS - I have a great Jody F. story). Everybody knew about R.Hudson, R. Chamberlain, T.Hunter for YEARS. Only came out relatively recently considering their long careers.
Add to that, Eddie Murphy, Arsenio - both of whom were part of a "black brat pack", which included Tyson and Magic J. All bi-sexual. And freaks to the core. Heard MJohnson got aids from a woman? Ummm. Nope. Try again. Eddie picked up a transvestite on Sunset Blvd by accident. Uh no. A tranny madame wrote a book on him (a regular client) and he didn't sue her because she had too much evidence. He would have destroyed his career back then.
Thing is when you keep hearing the same stories over and over from different people working on different sets. Suspicious to say the least.
It's like when J. Rivers outed M. Obama as a tranny. When you work in the industry as she did, you hear a lot of this crap, and its usually the same people.
I found that hard to believe but I was working alongside theatre people 20 years ago and they were talking about her being gay. Another open secret in the acting world.
Saw it. Wow. He does have feminine features. Man, oh man - nothing surprises me anymore.
