the real reason dumbledore ain’t gonna be gay in the newest film is because jude law took one look at johnny depp and refused to even pretend to have affection for that bleached little not-colin-farell
The thing is, Jude Law is about the Straightest Guy in the world (RDJ actually described him as Disappointingly Heterosexual in an interview) but he is utterly secure in his masculinity, so he’s happily played Bosie in Wilde with sex scenes and full frontal nudity, and shut down interviewers who tried to ‘no homo’ his description of the Sherlock Holmes film as a romance without turning a hair. If there was ever going to be a straight man playing Dumbledore as gay he would be TOTALLY comfortable doing it, so even though it’s without question studio straightwashing, I love the idea of Jude looking at Depp and declaring, with a perfect lip-curl, that there are things he just won’t do on camera because they’d make him less of a man.
