Was Superman gay?

A lost interview has been discovered in which gay porn star Cal Culver claimed he had been sleeping with Superman actor Christopher Reeve. Culver made the claim before his death in 1987.

The details are being included in the new book 'Hollywood Babylon Strikes Again.' Culver said that he and the star had developed a relationship in the mid-1970s, after both men auditioned for the same Broadway role.

Culver didn't reveal his porn work right away, and kept his stage name - Casey Donovan - a secret. He said that he helped Reeves come to terms with his gay side. "Christopher was a great lover and I think I liberated him sexually,' Culver remembered. "I didn't think he was gay but he seemed willing to try anything once. He was curious."

When Culver's porn work was discovered, the relationship ended.

We're not sure if a story about an alleged relationship between the two men, now deceased and unable to verify or contradict the tale, will sell many books. Still, it is interesting thinking that the Man of Steel may have put his rod to good use.
