MATT DAMON DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE
Matt Damon and his wife Luciana and the kids are in Sydney, Australia, spending time on the beach with Chris Hemsworth and his family. We found it very interesting that the writer of Brokeback Mountain, Diana Ossana, discussed the movie at a gay film festival in LA. According to The Holllywood Reporter, Diana believes that Hollywood is STILL homophobic. When they were casting Brokeback a number of “prominent young actors” liked the script but backed out of taking a gay role. “We sent the script to Matt Damon, Edward Norton and Joaquin Phoenix, among others, and nobody would commit.” Funny, we always thought those guys were pretty open-minded…
