Being self-loathing is not a surprise. He was raised in a society that viewed homosexuality as wrong. Like Rock Hudson, he feared that he would hurt his acting career, just like Anthony Perkins did . They put their acting first before their sex life . This is typical of all actors. Their art comes first before anything else, including morality and politics.

@michaelmcgee8543 Well, I think that was nicely stated and so fairly. What I wonder about tho is how soon or not our fellow humanity will come to understand and accept the ancient multifariously demonstrated FACT, that Mother Nature implants such dual amorous 'capacity' into her primate males? WHEN is this nonsense of torturous, willful madness going to end? From out of psychology's realm the key definition of apparent contention is . . . > polymorphous-sexual < Meaning that, Nature as arranged for we males to possesses the innate capacity to exchange love and attraction to-and-for gender opposites or S-A-M-E-S ! What Nature does has purpose, unlike way too much of what we think, come to believe and attempt. Now, as-to just what such a purpose might be, I'll leave to all of you as wondering. (It would not require too much brain power nor observing to divine, for more rationally-configured inquiring minds. Give it a go!) The hard cases on themselves, all around them as well as without are the MYSTICS, which types cannot be moved by reason nor demonstration, and thus their nearly insuperable hardness of opinionation, regarding the subject. With these -- "Houston! We've got a problem!!!" For a novel and delightful change, let's all get smart go forward, and prosper.

It's 2023. Most people couldn't care less if someone was/is gay, bisexual, or whatever. Personally, I blame a lot of religions for the persecution and prejudices. On a sidenote, homosexuality even occurs within the animal kingdom such as Bonobos, Albatrosses, Penguins, and the rest. It's normal behaviour. I know your titles are always a bit 'click-baity' but I think most of us are over this sort of thing. Perhaps I'm wrong, and often am.

Does it matter? He was a great actor who, outside of his professional career, had a fluid relationship with truth in general, let alone his sexuality. All great actors are great liars and he really was great. The audience's relationship with them should be confined to what they see on film and on the stage. He delivered the goods and everything else was a private matter.

Guinness converted to Catholidm in 1956 and knew that homosexuality is not acceptable (Old and New Testaments) so it was sheer hypocrisy to deny his preference. Fine if you are a non-believer, but don't go around claiming you are religious and go around cruising!

It was no secret to close friends that he liked young men (especially working class) and rough sex with them. He also had a sexual relationship. With Peter Grenville the film director. While filming "The Ma!he Story" he went to a pub and tried to pick up American sailors....All this was judged up with a quick contact of his solicitor who,one way or another,helped the producer and director out of a very sticky predicamy. He was known (in the early 1930s) as Sir John Gilgud's 'boyfriend . As for privacy: he used "beards" to go to premiers and other functions; close friends knew how hard he was with his wife and son. His wife said to Read that sex stopped around 1954; his son sold a lot of his father's private diaries to the British Library but under certain conditiond. Anyway,one watches Guinness in films because he was a great actor and his private life was not that private ! What bothers a lot of people was his "hypocrisy" ie: his conversion to Catholicism and yet he carried on picking up his chauffeurs are because of his inclination. Why should he announce his homosexuality ? He worried( after the law allowed it) ,as his very close friends said: "about his reputation" .

Presented (and narrated) with a decidedly midcentury, closet-queenish bitchiness (an odd approach, considering that Alec Guiness's public persona wasn't the least bit fey), this otherwise informative retrospective on one of the finest actors in cinema history could have easily been so much more entertaining if the dated, insulting treatment of Guiness's alleged (and very private) sexuality had instead been replaced with a deeper dive into his incredible list of unforgettable film roles. Unfortunately, though, the almost obsessive pounding away over whether yet another now dead actor was gay or bisexual is pretty unimaginative, immature and just plain boring.
