just a joke! my favorite urban legend!

Ok but like… why? It’s demonstrably false, it’s wildly homophobic, and it was primarily spread by Stallone as revenge against Gere for not being properly in awe of his talent when they were both starting out.

It’s an ugly bit of business that’s unfairly pulled focus from his genuine gifts as an actor… which is, ironically enough, what my piece is about.

fair enough.
