sp; width="150" height="24" align="center"> Almost everytime two people share a same sex kiss in a major Hollywood movie, at least one of those involved has their publicist usually issue some asshole of a statement saying how "difficult, uncomfortable and awkward" it was to do a gay kiss. It's a feeble attempt to reassure the stars 'masculinity'/'femininity' at best, an insulting derogatory indictment at worst.
That's why in a surprisingly amusing article today, Jake Gyllenhaal admitted to Digital Spy that while his gay love scenes with Heath Ledger in Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" were tough, it wasn't for the reasons that most PR hacks would have you believe.
Gyllenhaal says "Heath almost broke my nose in a kissing scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me, and then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the sh*t beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn't hurting as badly as I did after that one."
