Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers has said that Elvis Presley, whom he played in a 2005 TV movie (above), “is the gayest fucking thing on two legs” because “anyone who lives with their mama that long and dresses up in that much spangly gold with black lacquer on their eyes has definitely got something going on.” And Rhys Meyers likes that something very much. Seems he wants to make a career out of playing gay icons in movies, the gayer the better. He’s already been queer in Alexander and Velvet Goldmine, and he predicts that in 10 years he’ll be playing Rock Hudson in a biopic, although he’s “a little bit small for Rock. Maybe Montgomery Clift.” We see it. (Towleroad)
