Mister DiCaprio Getting Gay Again?
Leonardo DiCaprio, whose performance as closet case J. Edgar Hoover in Clint Eastwood’s “J. Edgar” is eagerly awaited, has been tipped to play another gay guy onscreen — one for whom the light-in-the-loafers evidence is more documented. I’m talking about Alan Turing, the mathematics genius who was instrumental in breaking the Nazi code during World War II. Turing was prosecuted by British authorities for his sexual activities after the war and forced to undergo “chemical castration” as an alternative to prison. In 2009, British prime minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for the way Turing was treated after the war.
