No, Robert Pattinson is not actually gay, but according to GayWired.com who checked out the latest issue of GQ (of which Rob graces the cover), Rob is going to play the gay Salvador Dalí in his upcoming movie Little Ashes.
Acting along side "Spanish hottie Javier Beltrán [who] plays poet Federico Garcia Lorca"Rob is going to do some serious acting. 'Cause there's a hardcore sex scene. A little different from vampires, but we'll see how he manages.
The article (which can be accessed by clicking here) also has more on the interview with Rob and for more click here. But for the whole article pick up the latest GQ when you're waiting in the line at the supermarket. I'll update the post if it's somewhere online.
