Is Michael Cera gay?

I read an interview in Empire (a UK movie review magazine) and he said he gets this question a lot. He said that he’s not gay. He went on to say that he’s not really into sex at all; he’s had sex a few times and says that it basically does nothing for him.

If true (I’m not doubting Gus but sometimes reporters contort the real words a bit) it’s a strange thing to admit in an interview.

Why? Asexuality is as real as (and considerably less understood than) any other sexual orientation.

Because he’s an actor who, nebbishy and non-threatening though he may be, often plays the romantic lead and thus has a lucrative career that depends to some degree on being viewed as a sexual being. Basically, the same reason that if Taylor Lautner or Justin Bieber were gay (which to my limited knowledge neither is) it wouldn’t be a great idea to own up to it just yet as their earning potential might be damaged. (I’m not advocating the closet but the “I don’t discuss my private life” route.)

I question this basic premise. Who views Michael Cera as a sexual being, even in a limited way? I’ve never heard anybody express any sort of sexual desire for him or attraction to him, and I wonder if people would like him more as an actor if he did have any sort of sexual energy.

He was interviewed in a recent issue of Rolling Stone and his sex life came up. He admited to losing his virginity around 17 and stated he’s had a pretty steady, if uneventful, sex life ever since.

I’ve heard the gay rumors about Ellen Page much more than Michael Cera, but I think for both it comes to the fact that they’re young, considered an It Girl/It Boy and have no noticeable social life. That confuses the gossiphounds who expect every actor to be drinking and whoring it up all the time.

I have several friends who have expressed a desire to fuck him. This is not uncommon.

Apparently the producers of Juno, Scott Pilgrim, Superbad and any other movie in which his sex life is a plot point.

Yeah… but… he’s in that crucially specific role of “believable virgin or sexual naïveté”.

Not asexual per se, but certainly either pre-sexual or pre-sexual blossoming…

In that same Rolling Stone interview, he relates a story where a female fan comes up to him and squeals “Oh my god! You’re Michael Cera!” He says yeah, yeah, and then she asks “Can I suck your dick?”

I don’t think that’s an uncommon occurence for any actor.

It’s why Danny Devito, Wilford Brimley and Reginald Veljohnson all have bodyguards.

I have got to get into acting.

Is Michael Cera gay?

I think a better question is:

Are a gay people Michael Cera?

I think this is yet another instance of “not gay, just Canadian.” It’s a common phenomenon.

Canadian is the new European?
