Did anyone think that the character of Pierre was just a tad bit on the homosexual side...?
sharewhy?
because he was romantically interested in/involved with no less than three women during the course of this film??!
my apologies if I sound patronizing, but please do try to refrain from applying stereotypes so freely and carelessly; not every professional dancer is gay.

Many guys can look gay because of their style. I know guys who might be gay by their looks, while being not.
shareNo, i didnt think that he was gay because of his profession, i just felt that the way the actor played Pierres' character made him seem like a closeted gay, and that could be a reason as to why he was so unsuccessful in his love life. i wasnt out to offend anyone, just pondering on something 'controversial'...
shareUnless I don't get what you're saying, I don't see why being gay would make him "so unsuccessful in his love life".
shareHe wasn't romantically unsuccessful. What gave you that idea?
He was terminally ill! That's why women (and most of his friends) weren't coming around.
And why on earth would a young gay dancer in Paris be dans le placard?
Except from the fact that he is a professional dancer (so..??), there's nothing, absolutely nothing in this movie to suggest that he might be gay. Why come up with such a question?
"... a bit on the homo side..." What a formulation! You should get rid of your problem with gay people. And worry more about heart conditions and morale of your favorite characters, whether they are gay or not.
No.
Of course, he looked a bit fey in his dancer get-up.
But, he expressed sexual interest in four different women (The girl across the street, Khadihja, his ex and the frumpy chick from his sister's job.)
Just because Treasure Juniper made a comment about the movie character that doesn't make him homophobic. Please people don't try to be so self-righteous and assume someone is bigoted just because he suggested Pierre might be gay. It's ridiculous since it is a movie after all.
sharelol, i do realise that he ISNT gay, i just thought he was a little on the feminine side and was wondering if anyone else noticed.
p.s and youd be surprised at how many gay friends and relations that i have, so im not being anti anything! honest!
Yes. I noticed it, but it didn't seem out of the ordinary in a character who is an artist, especially a dancer. I would think that being in touch with one's feminine side--and being utterly comfortable with it--would be prerequisite to becoming a professional dancer.
Ultimately, the clearest indication of his heterosexuality (or at least bisexuality leaning heavily toward heterosexuality) is that when he thought that he was going to die, he sought the comfort of a woman. IMO, that is an unassailably straight reaction to tragedy (or any other eventuality for that matter.)
TJ, I also had to constantly remind myself that he wasn't gay, so no, you're not the only one. I was confused by his whole sexuality. He was definitely making my gaydar go off, especially with the way he dressed. That t-shirt shirt he was wearing is something you'd see in Greenwich Village.
I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
Have you ever been to Paris? I'm sure they're lots of straight guys wearing those t-shirts over there.

i also thought he might have been gay or bi.
i dunno if it was intended or if it was meant to be anything or it was just the way the actor played it but i felt at times he came across as gay. but only at points so i can see why other people thought so too.
Do all dancers have to be gay?

So did he actually dance in the movie?

I wish he were gay. He was hot.
sharelal dunno why everyone has to take it sooooo seriously. i know he's not gay, he just is a little...
And yeah, he is hot!
i agree that he is absolutely hetero and extremely hot but i do think the director was playing with us. quite a bit of time passes and stories are presented before pierre's sexuality is established and i believe the actor and the director made choices to challenge the stereotype and the audiences interpretation. that said, because someone (treasurejuniper) adds up certain jigsaw pieces to the wrong conclusion doesnt mean they should be made to feel bad about it.
shareThis is exactly the point. I agree with the initial post, that he quite gives the impression of a gay character in the first part of the movie, and it is a developmental point of the character. So I agree that there is no point in all those comments and the poster is definitely not alone in this view.
shareI agree with your rationale for thinking that.
