Awww that just shows that for men being an actor carries a gay connotation. Which I can sympathise with as loving sport and playing football (soccer) as a female makes people assume that I am gay, which I am not.
Sir Michael Caine faced a family backlash when he told them he wanted to be an actor – because his relatives presumed he was gay.
The Zulu legend was worried about telling his traditional family he had dreams of becoming a film star, but didn’t expect his sexuality to come into question.
He remembers, “That’s what we thought actors were – all poofs (gay). And sometimes we were right.”
