FBI Angry At Clint Eastwood For Making J. Edgar Hoover Gay In New Movie
Posted on Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:40 AM PDT
Assistant FBI Director Mike Kortan is flaming mad over Clint Eastwood and Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover as gay in their new movie, J. Edgar, reports USA Today.
Kortan says Eastwood and DiCaprio came to him for information on Hoover, and they were told, "Vague rumors and fabrications have cropped up from time to time, but there is no evidence in the historical record."
Former agents have campaigned against the depiction of the rumored relationship between Hoover and his top aide, Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer in the film.)
William Branon, chairman of The J. Edgar Hoover Foundation, said:
- "There is no basis in fact for such a portrayal of Mr. Hoover. It would be a grave injustice and monumental distortion to proceed with such a depiction ..."
It's currently unclear how far the film takes the idea of a homosexual relationship between Hoover and Tolson, though the trailer (above) shows them holding hands.
J. Edgar is scheduled for release next month.
Cartha "Deke" DeLoach, a former top aide to Hoover, said he and DiCaprio discussed Hoover's personal life as part of a three-hour visit the actor made to DeLoach's home when he was researching the role.
DeLoach, 91, said:
- "When the subject of homosexuality came up, I made it very clear that I never saw any evidence of it whatsoever. I traveled with him, I ate in his home and he in mine. I knew Clyde Tolson to be Mr. Hoover's companion and best friend. When you are somebody like Mr. Hoover, I guess you need somebody to talk to."

I'M NOT GAY!!!!!!!!!
Revisionist history at work again and most Americans will believe what they see in the movie. Very sad.
I am very VERY dissappointed in Clint Eastwood and Dicaprio both. Is it just anything for your money and fame? Disgusting to speculate like that... what if it was you or one of your relatives and HOLLYWOOD did this to them without really knowing!!!!!!!!!!!
GAWD you people have no clue. It is a proven fact JEH was a homo cross dresser, and just a plain douchebag
he'd hold meetings in the bathroom where he was on the can taking a dump
THIS IS THE SAME FBI WHO COULDN'T GET THEIR FACTS STRAIGHT ABOUT TERRORISTS LIVING IN THE GOOD OLD USA! WAKE UP!
I love Clint Eastwood and even more Leo, but come on! On a rumor... does everyone have to be gay in Hollywood?
More Revisionist history from hollywood & the left. Being a closeted gay actor Leo is the perfect stooge to play their part.
I could care less who someone wants to lay with. What I do find offensive is this push from hollywood to ram homosexuality down our throats in their desparate attempt to lagitamize & make it mainstream. You'd expected this from little Leo, but Clint.... Wft? I expected better from the "High Plains Drifter".
Totally agree with Josie Wales... Leo I heard had his peen exposed in one of his first movies... but Clint? Oh my gosh... has always been one of my heros... Paul Bragg follower too. But this? Too much. No longer my hero. Jimmy Stewart is number one now. Clint has gone the way of the newbi weirdis.
I wish people in Hollywood will stop trying to make every single person in history gay. This is just some really stupid pro-gay propaganda, and I for one am sick and tired of it.
J. Edgar Hoover was seen holding hands with Clyde Tolson. He was also seen wearing a black dress at a party going by the name "Mary." He was as gay as gay gets.
Right on, Clint and Leo.....he was a cross dresser and he targeted alot of people.........he was evil in many ways and an egotist. The FBI unhappy. No doubt they are all above board..........
Hoover WAS gay. Read.
