".......Rumours of bisexuality
Throughout his time in Hollywood, Grant was rumoured to be homosexual or bisexual. In 1932 he met fellow actor Randolph Scott on the set of Hot Saturday, and the two shared a rented beach house (known as "Bachelor Hall") on and off for twelve years. In 1944, Grant and Scott stopped living together but remained close friends throughout their lives. Rumors ran rampant at the time that Grant and Scott were lovers. Authors Marc Eliot, Charles Higham and Roy Moseley consider Grant to have been bisexual, with Higham and Moseley claiming that Grant and Scott were seen kissing in a public carpark outside a social function both attended in the 1960s. In his book, Hollywood Gays, Boze Hadleigh cites an interview with homosexual director George Cukor, who said about the alleged homosexual relationship between Scott and Grant: "Oh, Cary won't talk about it. At most, he'll say they did some wonderful pictures together. But Randolph will admit it – to a friend."
Homosexual screenwriter Arthur Laurents indicated that Grant was bisexual. In his memoir, he says, Grant "told me he threw pebbles at my window one night but was luckless-I wasn't home. ... his eyes and his smile implied that ... he would have liked doing what we would have done had I been home.[3] William J. Mann's book Behind the Screen: How Gays and Lesbians Shaped Hollywood, 1910-1969 recounts how photographer Jerome Zerbe spent "three gay months" (his words) in the movie colony taking many photographs of Grant and Scott, "attesting to their involvement in the gay scene." Zerbe says that he often stayed with the two actors, "finding them both warm, charming, and happy." In addition, Darwin Porter's book, Brando Unzipped (2006) claims that Grant had a homosexual affair with Marlon Brando.
Many writers seem to have no doubt about the actor's bisexuality; Grant, however, did not identify himself as such. He had many gay friends, including Cukor, William Haines, and Australian artist and costume designer Orry-Kelly, but when comedian Chevy Chase joked about Grant being gay in a television interview with Tom Snyder in 1980 ("Oh, what a gal!") Grant sued him for slander; they settled out of court. Grant complained to writer/director Peter Bogdanovich about the Chevy Chase incident, emphatically insisting that he was not gay, and that while he had nothing against homosexuals, he was simply not one himself (this exchange is cited at length in the chapter on Grant in Bogdanovich's 2005 book Who the Hell's in It?). However he did not deny that he was bisexual.
In a 2004 interview for the Turner Classic Movies production, Cary Grant: A Class Apart, Grant's third wife, Betsy Drake, denied the rumors, saying, "I didn't have time to think about his homosexuality. We were too busy *******".
In the 2004 comedy Touch of Pink, the protagonist, a closeted gay man, is visited and mentored by the ghost of Cary Grant (played by Kyle MacLachlan)......."

No, I do not think he was. Your friend may be thinking of Rock Hudson, a "leading man" who was in films the same time as Cary Grant.
There were rumors that Grant was bisexual, but Hudson was actually confirmed to be gay.

My girlfriend is a huge Cary Grant fan. She says he was roommates with Randolph Scott (I'll have to confirm this with her) for years but was married five times!
So maybe he played both sides of the fence or the marriages were "Beards".

He's the only one that can answer definitively, and he's dead. He was married several times and had a daughter. Doesn't meant he wasn't gay, but I don't believe so. Does it really matter?

I believe he was. It seems to be generally accepted that he was.
