JacksonThe other guys react as you might expect to the news that hip-hop's most notorly girl-crazy figure is actually gay, and he is quick to try to take back what he said.

But as Lazas pots out, "Hey, everybody's gay sometime, this is Hollywood! " Portnoy (who is at this pot the thro of tox and has been tied to a tree to protect him om himself) then mak a graphilly tailed offer to Cho of what he would do for him to be set ee, which thankfully Cho do not dignify wh a tertg thg about Cho's g out is that for once 's not telegraphed the least, except possibly the sense that would be a good twist to make his character gay. There are no jok about his character havg an unual tert the other men, no flamboyant slip-ups, no macho overpensatn, and no Ambiguoly Gay Duo-style physil gags that make the other guys go, "Huh?

Y, he's closeted, but that's clearly a mentary on Hollywood and the rol forc upon gay men who choose to work wh s l, not on him as a person. He's not the least b nflicted his sexualy, he's jt a man who ma a choice to hi orr to bee rich and the end of the film we learn that Jackson (who sav his -stars' butts several tim whout a sgle queen-out, scream, or other sissy moment) has chosen to live openly as a gay man and the closg Osr ceremony is revealed exactly who "Lance" is. ) It's a charmg rolutn, and 's great to see that 's not his character's sexualy that is viewed as somethg that he needs to overe; 's the fact that he's not beg te to himself (his character arc is siar to Portnoy's, who ends up overg dg addictn) what we have here, the end, is a very funny Hollywood story featurg a gay black central character who don't have to mce around or terrify the straight characters by g on to them, who stands up for himself and his race, and who ultimately mak the brave cisn to e out as gay and is reward for only this weren't a Theroux, Ben StillerPhotos cred Getty Imag/Andrew Walker/Jon KopaloffAs I mentned earlier, the film is full of fun surpris like this, thanks to Stiller and -wrer Jt Theroux.

It's tertg to note that Stiller, who has ma a reer playg dumb or put-upon guys broad edi, actually has a long history of handlg gay issu and them wh nuance and re.

His directorial but, Realy B, featured Steve Zahn a central role as a gay man whose iends support him g out to his mom (cludg a hilar scene where Janeane Garofalo role-plays wh him), and films that he's produced such as Blas of Glory have notably played agast homophobic humor (although he misstepped nsirably wh Dodgeball, which was roundly cricized for gay-panic jok) I said, not all the surpris are good on. Serly, I want the guy to go away so I n hate his anti-gay Scientologist ways as much as you do, so hurts me to have to adm I found him hilar.
