Love/Hate Relationship With Rumours

Sun March 5th 2006 @ 1:31PM - James - Tom Welling - 0 Comments

I've received a couple of emails recently about a rumour that Tom could star as Billy Bean in a film based on Billy's best-selling novel, Going The Other Way. For those who don't know, Billy was a major league baseball player who revealed that he was homosexual in 1999 amid a flurry of publicity. This rumour has been doing the rounds for around a week, and first popped up during my little rest period, which was typical. I decided not to post about it until I could find out something more concrete; that, or until the rumour became a little louder. The latter is the case here.

I first found the rumour over at Mr. Nightlife's Hollywood, and while the reliability of that site seems to be reasonably good most of the time, the track record is far from 100%. I haven't found anything else about it yet, so who knows. Tom has been rumoured to star in anything from Die Hard 4 to Dragon Ball Z in the last 18 months ... and no, you won't have heard about the Dragon Ball Z thing here. It pains me to even mention it in passing.

This would be a challenging role for sure, but I'm not sure whether it's a film I would want to see; the story is very touching, however the only sport-related films that I've ever enjoyed are the Mighty Ducks trilogy and Cool Runnings! Seriously.

ETA: I've disabled commenting on this story because some of the comments were borderline gay-bashing. I'm really disappointed by some of what has been said, and now more than ever I'm thankful that the comments aren't published until I've approved them. The majority of comments were perfectly reasonable, but unfortunately a small number were not; to avoid argument I won't be approving any of them.
