Insecurity

Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan remains convinced the bisexual scenes in his new movie The Matador should stay cut - despite the outstanding success of gay cowboy romance Brokeback Mountain.

Brosnan, who almost backed out of the role altogether after suffering a confidence crisis, and his wife Keely Shaye Smith were both concerned the original script contained too many overtly gay sexual scenes before the actor decided to make some changes. (source)

I never understood the insecurity of some people. If I were an actor, even though I’m gay, I would have no problem what so ever playing a straight part and being convincing in the role. If you can’t take the [gay] heat, maybe you shouldn’t be an actor?
