FBI ANGRY At Clint Eastwood For Making J. Edgar Hoover Gay in New Movie

Assistant FBI Director Mike Kortan is VERY ANGRY 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 -- but the trailer below shows them holding hands....
