I know they have been making alot of gay movies lately, like the gay cowboys eating pudding movie, but are any of these actors straight?
I find it hard to believe that a straight man could play a gay man in the movies. If you suck face with another guy, whether or not you are getting paid, I think it makes you gay.
Clint Eastwood never played a gay guy.

Most actors are not heterosexual.
Clint Eastwood had a chimpanzee as a co-star. Don't parade him as a man among men.

Doing the deed doesn't make you gay. If a gay guy nailed a chick, that wouldn't make him straight, would it? It's called acting, and it's why they make the big bucks. Do you think Clint Eastwood is a really cowboy because he played so many of them? Do you think George Clooney is a real doctor? Would you let him operate on you?

That's what acting is - assuming a role that is not yourself. A good actor can play many different roles that have little or nothing in common with who he/she really is. Plenty of gay actors have played straight roles, so why not the other way around?

most movies, like Brokeback Mountain or Milk the gay roles are all filled by straight men, Al Pacino has played a gay man in at lest 3 movies, Dog Day Afternoon, Cruising and Angels in America.

If John Wayne can wear a dress in a movie, then a straight actor can play a homosexual.
It's called acting for a reason.

Believe it. It's why they call it "acting."
Heath Ledger was one of the two actors playing gay cowboys in Brokeback Mountain, the movie you (sort of) mention.
He fell in love with his female co-star, Michelle Williams. They have since had a baby and gotten married... in that order.

Heath Ledger played a gay cowboy. He's not gay and also, Hugh Jackman played a gay guy.....there's many more. That's what makes them such great actors...their roles are very convincing.

In "Brokeback Mountain", both of the lead actors (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall) are straight.
In "The Talented Mr. Ripley" - Matt Damon played a Bisexual and he is straight.
A guy kissing another guy doesn't make them gay.

Yes they can. Plenty of straight actors play gay men.
BTW: Clint isn't as close-minded as you think. Read the interview he gave The Advocate several years ago:

Yea, it's called ACTING for a reason. A gay guy can also play a straight character.

There are many actors and actress who take on a gay role but are themselves straight.
