Critics are saying Jay Leno crossed the line when he interviewed Stop-Loss star Ryan Phillippe Thursday night.
[For those of you that don't want to watch the whole thing -- it all starts at approximately 2:00 minutes in]
Leno was chatting with Phillippe about his first role as a gay teen on the soap One Life to Live when he asked,
“Can you give me, like – say that camera is your gay lover… Can you give me your ‘gayest look?’
Say that camera is Billy Bob – Billy Bob has just ridden in shirtless from Wyoming,”
Needless to say, Phillippe grew quite uncomfortable.
“Wow! That is so something I don’t want to do.”
Phillippe’s acting career began with an appearance in ABC daytime drama One Life to Live. His character Billy Douglas, whom he played from 1992 to 1993, was the first gay teenager in a daily soap opera, causing a stir.
GLAAD issued this statement today,
Under the guise of comedy, the talk-show host is demonstrating a lack of respect for the gay community and insensitivity to both his co-workers and the audience, to whom he owes an apology.”
What others said:
- Dlisted says, “If Jay cared so much about seeing Ryan’s “gay face” he should have just rented “54.” There’s Phillipe gay face galore!”
- A Socialites Life says, “I’m guessing Leno wanted Ryan to make his “gayest look” towards him. And follow it up with some Astroglide. Jay strikes me as one of those guys who’s watching the next-door neighbor’s son mow the lawn shirtless next door and playing with himself from behind the blinds.”
- TMZ says, “Unfortunately, Leno has yet to apologize for 16 years of unfunny opening monologues.”
