Is King’s Soapy Romp with Carrey a Sign of Progress or Just More Gay Teasing?
Larry King said his heterosexuality was tempted by his Late Show bubble bath paling with Jim Carrey. King said in his blog.
The tub was slippery. The scene was romantic…so romantic that I almost — almost, lost my heterosexuality. And to tell you the truth, I think Jim felt the same way. The lighting was perfect. The Champagne wasn’t bad either. The bubbles were very…bubbly. All it lacked was music. Sinatra would have been nice.
Don’t know that I believe that Carrey was as tempted – if he has any yearnings for same sex-sex those yearnings were certainly quashed, at least temporarily, by this creepy encounter.
I am not sure if this episode is evidence that gay-teasing is still acceptable in mainstream humor or that people have progressed enough that King can joke around about a bit of a man crush on the svelte Carrey.
