It wouldn’t surprise me. He did kiss a man (or a man kissed him) in American Beauty

Yes, he kissed a former Marine Nazi fanatic; not sure if that makes him gay…it was only one kiss.

Before this gets tossed to Café Society, I’ll throw in this quote from Spacey’s [IMDB.com](http://IMDB.com) bio:

> [@](#):

> For [women who believe I’m gay] it’s a challenge. They want to be the one to turn me around. I let them.

In his case, letting women _think_ he’s gay apparantly helps him score. More power to him.
