āJim isnāt homophobicā Are you sure? Iāve read a tumblr post where it was said that rinch fanart made him feel uncomfortable. I donāt know if it true. (well, maybe see porn of yourself could make anyone who is not a porn star uncomfortable?) but nothing was said about careese and Iām sure there must be porn of them too.
Jim doesnāt get on the internet. To my knowledge Jim has*never* said or done anything that was homophobic. Jim has never said or done anything negative about shipping or fanart. If someone told you Jim is uncomfortable with photo manipulations then they are ether making an assumption based on his Catholic faith (which is hella rude and stereotyping) or they are transferring their own issues onto a man who says he unplugs at home and doesnāt even have internet. So unless someone thinks fans have *SHOWN* Jim printed out art and he commented on it in the negative then all the evidence suggests that Jim Caviezel loves his neighbors as himself and tries his darnedest to turn the other cheek. Ā There is a reason the man played Jesus.
Now, Jim has said on many occasion that he does NOT like to do love scenes with female co-stars. That when he was co-starred with Jennifer Lopez he insisted they wear pants and that she wear a shirt during a love scene. He is quoted as saying āThe only naked breasts I want to fell next to me are my wifeāsā and on kissing J-Lo āNot as good as kissing my wifeā
So, make of that what you will.
Given the giggle fit JC had when Malcolm McDowell was molesting his knee (golfer movie blooper), the deadpan āIāve been watching your assā in PoI bloopers, and the rather close relationship he seems to have with ME, Iām of the opinion JC isnāt homophobic. Any discomfort probably stems from seeing a character of his in fanworks, since more than a few actors get uncomfortable with that.
Donāt blame āem, really.
As for the love scene thing, nudity is overrated. Partially clothes is sexier! :D
Also, Jim was in The Prisoner with Sir Ian McKellen (a very vocal gay man)
And people are tying to tell me JC has a problem was homoerotic overtones.
