Why does Cameron Monaghan say he isn't homosexual


He clearly is, in fact, homosex. Straight men do not roll around naked with other men on camera.. He shouldn't hide being a homosexual when it's obvious he is one. If my job required me to get naked with other men, I would find another job. Cameron is homosex

It's called acting and him being open minded. He's an actor. I mean, he has no face and is a psycho killer on Gotham, does that mean he's that way in real life too?

Playing hard to get? I love a challenge.

You are a joke. Just because you believe something doesn't make it so. Just because you have certain rules and a mindset of your own doesn't mean the billions of other people on this planet think like you do.
I mean this post is overplayed as hell, but believe it or not some people can indeed act or play the part of homosexual or even straight characters and be quite the opposite.
I've kissed men in plays and Im gay as hell :)

As a straight man, I can tell you that no straight guy will roll around in the nude with other men. Only homosexuals would agree to engage in this behavior. If my job required me to get naked and cuddle with men, I would not be comfortable with this, and I would find work elsewhere. I think one of the actors from True Blood quit the show because he was asked to do homosex things he wasn't comfortable with. The fact that Cameron is OK to tongue kiss other men while in the nude has to mean he is homosex

There are no words.

Lol. I know.

From what I've heard/read/seen in interviews, filming sex scenes is super awkward either way. Homo or hetero. So I can't agree with these statements that they'd have to be gay to do this job. The fact that they were able to lose me in their story, and then finding out they aren't gay, made me think about what great actors they are. That, and imagine the level of trust you'd have to have in each other - (gay or straight) - to get through those scenes. To me it's just impressive.

If anything the gay sex scenes are probably less awkward for him because he doesn't have to worry about being attracted to his scene partner. I read Mindy Kaling's book recently and she had a line about how shooting sex scenes are awkward because you sometimes can't help but be attracted to the person and it messes with your head. Monaghan probably doesn't have that issue.

That makes so much sense. Never thought of it that way.

You couldn't even remember his name could you? No one is going to forget Cameron Monaghan, or Gale Harold, Eric Stonestreet, or a thousand other straight actors who played gay roles, because they're incredible ACTORS.

You can add Billy Crystal to that list too. Crystal gained attention for playing Jodie Dallas, one of the first openly gay TV characters, on ABC’s “Soap."

how about Jake Gyllenhaal & Heath Ledger

So because you are uncomfortable with yourself and your sexuality, the same must apply to Monaghan? No. Sorry, doesn't work that way.

I would like to assume you're just another IMDb troll making a silly argument for kicks... but a lot of insecure people sadly share your mindset, so.

reggieweezy:
Oh,please---if you watch European films, male actors have no problem doing sex scenes with each other--it's mostly American actors and Americans in general with those hangups. Get over yourself----a straight guy dosen't automatically become gay after doing a same-sex sex scene--I mean,come on.

reply

It's acting. You don't actually have sex.

reply

Good troll thread. I chuckled.

reggieweezy:

They do if the acting job requires them to do it. It's a job,just like anything else,lol.

reply

I think reggieweezy has issues of his own. Maybe he wishes Cameron was gay. reggieweezy could be hiding something. Any real straight man couldn't care less about this, but for someone to come on and post about it is a little suspicious. I always find the people who are the most vocal about homosexuality are the ones you have to watch out for. Cameron seems comfortable with it and doesn't seem worried about what people think.
