..and Ledger wasted no time getting some girlfriend pregnant to show how manly man he is.
..all, after making this movie.
I wouldn't look for any CYA (heh) from Gyllenhall. He's the guy who said the only bad part about making the movie is that Ledger slammed him against the wall a little too hard in the big sex scene (shudder). He said he thinks all guys have a gay side. I think he ought to just speak for himself there.
I don't know what would possess someone to want to play such a character...but I suppose they think it's all artistic and "challenging". But if it gives them the heebiejeebies then they are lying to themselves about their true feelings.
Oh, ho! Mabne they're just a teensy bit worried about their careers after this.
