Oh, dear. He did the same thing to the creators of Will & Grace and Drew Barrymore. Some people, especially older ones in theater, do that quick, closed mouth, kiss thing to everyone.Also, knowing how loose we gays are, when I saw that scene I thought, "they must be having real sex with each other." And then you see them both kiss on the lips in public at some awards show.
I actually hate it when I end up in one of those myself.
Also nothing is real in that industry. The whole thing is designed with that veil in mind. You’ll never know how two people promoting a project actually feel about each other since it’s their job to sell all of it. They are both really good at selling themselves.
