Phoenix would star as Clyde Tolson, the "reputed paramour and protégé" of Hoover (DiCaprio), in the Dustin Lance Black-scripted biopic. Hopefully this role doesn't require any onscreen vomiting.

    We've seen J. Edgar Hoover portrayed in the movies as the fearless crime-fighter, the ruthless power hungry bureaucrat, the corrupt conspirator, and now the petulant teenager.
    He's everything to everybody!

    This totally saddens me to think of two of Hollywood's hottest sex symbols to act in roles that portray their characters as gaylords...the two can act and they've proven it plenty of times...what is Eastwood thinking?!?!
