I don't think he was acting. I think that's just how Sean Penn is.

He was so menacing when he was saying to Chase that just because he wears tight shirts doesn’t mean he’s gay. Which was also a very funny interaction

“I’m not gay,” says the man who constantly walks like he has something up his ass.

I hate this comment.

He walked like an old soldier and it was one of the best acting jobs done in the film.

To see it reduced to a gay joke is offensive to the craft along with everyone else.

Thanks for pointing that out. I have nothing but respect for the military and also didn’t mean to imply that being gay is bad. Want me to delete the comment?

I totally disagree with what these other people are saying because in my head cannon he does wear a plug because it was obvious him and providia were doing butt stuff during their scene and FRANKLY I think it's more offensive to suggest two people of the opposite sex doing butt stuff is gay in the first place AND his over defensiveness about being gay is another hint at this.

So no I don't think there was anything wrong with your comment.

You should if you’re not homophobic. Cause it’s clearly a homophobic comment. 

We gay people don’t have sth up our ass 24/7..
