Armie Hammer describes kissing “J. Edgar” co-star Leonardo DiCaprio: “It just felt like kissing.”

An article in New York magazine notes that Leonardo DiCaprio was Armie Hammer’s first man-on-man screen kiss.

While plenty of us would love to lock lips with Leo, Armie says the experience was hardly romantic.

Hammer describes the Hoover-Tolson relationship this way: “Clyde was his lapdog and his go-to hatchet man. But Clyde took so much abuse—it was so hot and cold—that it didn’t make sense to me why he would stick around for so long if it weren’t a tragic love story.”

One Remark

  1. This is a wise, mournful profound masterpiece from Clint Eastwood. Easily his most ambitious project, it is a sweeping historical epic balanced by an achingly intimate portrait of two men.A great movie that demands multiple viewing to appreciate the layers of meaning, incident and complexity.A mature, intelligent film for a mature intelligent audience.

    Have a nice day,
