Asi om starrg as the queer send--mand next to those gay ins “The Devil Wear Prada” and “Burlque, ” the 60-year-old actor also donned a poofy wig “Ltle Chaos” as the kg’s gay brother. The chameleonic actor is at yet aga wh his latt gay role — Tker “Supernova, ” a movg portra of a uple crisis wrten and directed by Harry Macqueen.
Durg a recent ll, Tucci talked about beg a straight man who’s been playg gay sce 1996, his wife fdg out that the ter thks he’s gay, and how he n’t believe so many people actually tell him they love “Burlque. Durg the panmic, I watched “The Daytrippers, ” which me out 1996, and realized that you’ve been playg gay even longer than I thought.
That was my first gay kiss. When to the way the film treated homosexualy, how do you pare a role like that, as Louis, to your role as Tker “Supernova”?

What I loved about “Daytrippers” was that there was no judgment on the part of anyone and the fact that this character was gay. I remember the days of a straight actor playg a gay man and how there was talk of how “brave” that was. What was the nversatn around you playg gay 1996 vers now?
How have you gotten away wh playg gay all the years when so many straight actors have not?
Somebody said recently — was wrten a magaze or somethg: Col and I are the only two straight men who, as far as they’re ncerned, are allowed to play gay men, nobody else. I’ve been tellg my iends that I thk you’re able to get away wh playg gay bee people thk that you are gay. There was a time when there were a lot of people out there who thought I was gay.
