I don't know who Alain Delon is, but Pacino's a no. Derek Jacobi (who I think is openly gay), Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen (also openly gay, I think), Nicholas Farrell, Michael Maloney...

Not ugly ones like Charles Laughton and John Gielgud.
Charles Laughton was my grandfather's cousin. BTW, it is rumored that he was gay, even though he was married to Elsa Lanchester.

You don't know? Never mind! He's old now. :blushing:
I know Pacino isn't a gay, I mentioned him because of Shakespeare. :wink:

You know most of hot actors are bisexual not gay.:-p If we want to know whether gays are hot or not, we should force arilno to post a photo. Although I already know how he looks like. :rolleyes:

Please forgive this on-topic post.

I'd go for a countryside walk with a friend, or a few friends on a lovely warm day (probably up a mountain, but I'm not picky), have a picnic half way, and maybe have a few quiet drinks in the evening in a nice country pub, then watch the sun set, and watch the stars later on.
