Let's see if we can use our mad detective skills to solve these gay blind items...
From the National Enquirer: Which Oscar-winning actress caught her then-husband in the middle of a steamy gay encounter with his film's young American co-star? The British couple separated soon after filming ended and divorced two years later. The couple has since remarried, but the young stud has never wed. Who are they?
Google tells me that the following British actresses have won Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress. (I am only going back to 1990.)
Kate Winslet (Best Actress, 2008). Kate divorced director Sam Mendes in 2010, and divorced assistant director Jim Threapleton in 2001—both English.
Tilda Swinton (Best Supporting Actress, 2007). Never married.
Helen Mirren (Best Actress, 2006). Never divorced.
Rachel Weisz (Best Supporting Actress, 2005). Divorced Darren Aronofsky in 2010—but he's American.
Catherine Zeta Jones (Best Supporting Actress, 2002). Never divorced.
Dame Judy Dench (Best Supporting Actress, 1998). Never divorced.
Emma Thompson (1992). Divorced English actor/director Kenneth Branagh in 1995. Each remarried different people in 2003.
And we have a winner! Is it really a shock to hear Kenneth Branagh plays both sides? Not really.
Just for shits and giggles, let's look at some of the films Branagh acted in during the relevant period, so we can try to guess the younger American actor. We'll look at films that were produced or released a couple of years (or so) before the 1995 divorce.
In Much Ado About Nothing (1993) — Branagh co-starred with the never-married Keanu Reeves. Another co-star was the sexually-ambiguous Robert Sean Leonard, best-known for playing Dr. James Wilson on House and Neil Perry in 1989's Dead Poets' Society. Leonard was 24 at the time—but he's married, since 2008.
In Swing Kids (produced 1993) Branagh co-starred with Robert Sean Leonard again! Suspicious. The movie also featured Christian Bale, 19 at the time, but he's English, and has been married since 2000.
Dead Again (1991) co-starred American actor Campbell Scott, who was 30 at the time—but he later married, from 1991-2002.
Finally, Branagh directed Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in 1994, but that seems a litle late for our timeline. Plus, there were no young and cute American actors in the movie, unless it was someone with a very minor role.
So it looks like Kenneth and Keanu!!! Keanu has been plagued by gay rumors for years, probably because he is 45 and has never been married. Who knows.
And here's an Enquirer blind item from Mike Walker, but my research tools are failing me. Maybe you can guess it:
At a major California college, an internationally-recognized professor who teaches film admitted to students that the heavyweight lawyer of the A-list movie star under discussion that day often fires off searing legal letters to him, warning: STOP CALLING MY CLIENT "GAY" IN YOUR CLASSES! Incredibly, reports My Class Tattletale: "The professor still went right ahead and used the G-word—and even told a story about how the star hooked up with an older, bisexual male screen legend after they'd wrapped a classic film many years ago." The prof giggled that the light-in-the-loafers movie idols then "disappeared" together for two weeks, supposedly to "race cars." ZOOOOOMM!
The reference to car racing brings to mind a lot of screen legends from classic films—Paul Newman, James Garner, Steve McQueen, Gene Hackman and James Dean for example. Given the number of films those people have been in and the number of young actors, this one could take a while. (However, it does help that the actor whose lawyer is currently blasting off letters is "A-list.")
I'm going to guess the older, bisexual actor was Steve McQueen (a notorious bisexual who spent his teens as a gay hooker), James Dean (who was gay or bisexual, loved cars, and was in fact killed in a car crash) or maybe Paul Newman.
As for figuring out the younger, now A-list, actor, I'm leaving that one up to you! Email me.
