Talk:Jean Marais

Affair with co-star
I've removed the section regarding his affair with a female co-star. There's no reference to this anywhere that I can find, and the edit history noodles around on who the woman actually was.  --CA387 04:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


 * For an actor/actress to fall for a fellow player on the set is too ordinary for words. If no homewrecking is involved, it probably doesn't deserve mention in Wikipedia. But CA387's query brings to mind that Marais was Jean Cocteau's gay lover, and that that was why he cast the young Marais in two classic 1940s films. What CA387 removed alleged that Marais had at least one bisexual fling, namely while filming Orpheus. While I have never read anything of that nature before, I find it entirely plausible, mainly because I believe that there is far more opportunistic bisexuality about than both gays and straights care to admit. (Camille Paglia has written that the hormonal surge of puberty leaves almost no one truly incurious about the genitalia of the opposite sex.) Bi has become the love that dares not speak its name...


 * One thing is damn certain: a woman indifferent to Marais's awesome looks would have to be made of stone. He reminds me of a French version of Erroll Flynn. After his early work with Cocteau, he tended to go for the easy money, by starring in potboilers, low brow crime fiction, e.g., Fantomas.123.255.63.223 (talk) 21:08, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Jean Marais Had History of Bisexuality
Because of information given in the article about Marais's personal life, it seems reasonable to reclassify him as a bisexual. He was married for at least two years to a woman, and later found he'd fathered a son by another woman.

I appreciate the remark made by another Commenter, that there's a good deal of sexual opportunism as well as experimentation in show business. When actor Tom Hardy was asked by an interviewer if he'd ever had a homosexual experience, he shouted back, "OF COURSE I've had homosexual experience! I'm a foocking actor!"

 * I fed up with this nazist way on wikipedia to labelize people according to their sex activity, as they were a bit of cheese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:8A8D:FE80:41D3:E1B4:C5C3:32B2 (talk) 09:45, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
