Oh, brother! There’s an article on SFGate.com’s Daily Dish about Hugh Jackman using rumors about his being gay to pick up girls.
Jackman: ‘I Used Gay Rumors To Pick Up Girls’
Australian actor Hugh Jackman is glad people assumed he was gay in his youth, because it gave him the chance to act like a “vulture” and pick up single girls.
Rumors that the “Australia” hunk was gay swirled when he starred as gay performer Peter Allen in a Broadway production of “The Boy from Oz.”
The speculation surrounding his sexuality peaked when his actress wife Deborra-Lee Furness took on the role of rumor-crusher, telling everyone that her man definitely wasn’t into same-sex relationships.
What is even more amusing than the article are the comments that people have made. One of them inspired the title of this blog post. I don’t care. I’m still keeping this photo on my hard drive:

Yeah, right, like he'd need some phony story to pick up girls. Give me a break!
You know I read a very similar quote from another star, that bastion of heterosexuality himself, Little Richard. He said the same thing in his biography.
