Brad Pitt Looking to Play a Gay Man

247gay.com:

Sources say Pitt is looking for the same critical acclaim Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal have received for the hit film. They say the only way he feels he’ll get it is by doing a gay themed film.

”He’s seen the critical acclaim that ‘Brokeback Mountain’ has won and he wants a piece of it,” the source continues. “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.”

I know, Brad, it’s not fair; you should get to play gay like the popular kids too.
