Matt Damon to play gay lover of Michael Douglas in Liberace movie


Bookmark and Share






Matt Damon will play the role of Michael Douglas' lover in a movie about gay piano legend Liberace, set for release in 2012.

It is quite a change for the Irish American macho star used to playing souped-up testosterone roles such as the cop in 'The Departed' and the Bourne Identity flicks.

Douglas who will play the flamboyant Liberace is looking forward to having Damon as his gay partner.

“I’m just going to get really comfortable so it’s not a caricature,” Michael said. “Matt Damon’s going to be my younger lover. God bless Matt.

“He’s right to take chances. It’s smart trying to mix it up a bit and maintain the franchise and get to do a picture that turns you on,” he said.

Douglas likes the fact that he is taking fewer roles in recent times. “I’m no longer obsessed about work and I’ve been enjoying time with my family. I love not having to worry about my career,” he said.

“I’m returning to work now, but since I married Catherine it’s been tough to get me out of the house.”

Liberace is set for release sometime in 2012.

Tanka poem (to Liberace): Shirtless Matt--adore, Whirl your bike helmet-for-bull, Twirl your red silk shirt, Pool-side by moonlight, ballet, Lee, key-dance Malaguena !
Imagine.......a shirtless mattadore /Scott, .....poolside by moonlight, twirling a red silk shirt, around his motorcycle-helmet-for-bull, ....doing a mock ballet to, Liberace playing Malaguena !!!!!
How to go from Gordon to Glitter Man !!! Michael Douglas IS Liberace !!! Hugh Jackman as the very young Liberace ? Robin Williams as Seymour Heller,Liberace's manager ? Kathy Bates as Frances, Liberace's mother ? Kirk Douglas as Salvatore, Liberace's father ? Gary Sinise as George, Liberace's brother ? Sally Field as Dora, George's wife ? Kurt Russell as Elvis Presley ? Matt Damon IS Scott(beem me up Scotty)Thorson !!!!!
I'm not sure if Michael Douglas was the best pick, but it was probably a better choice than the original thought idea of Robin Williams. The world's most iconic and talented pianist should not be played by someone who is known primarily as a comedian. 'CAN NOT WAIT to see how this turns out.
I think they deserve each other ! One can only wonder over what will be "bourne" !
I think Bourne needs to re-think this one.
Does anybody care
You're kidding ... right ?
