With so many queens running around the set of Gus Van Sant's Milk biopic about slain gay political leader Harvey Milk, one of them was bound to betray the director's trust and leak details from the shoot in an act of desperate self-promotion. Enter Mark Martinez, aka "Flava", stage left. Martinez, sporting a half-hard boner from her run-in with the film's star, Sean Penn, breathlessly gushed to E!'s Planet Gossip about a scene in which he and the actor swap spit. In the film portraying legendary cross-dressing disco singer Sylvester, Martinez is prominently featured in a scene in the film based on one of Harvey's birthday parties.
From E! Online:
"All of a sudden, Sean's pointing at me, and he's talking to the assistant director," Martinez says. "The AD comes up to me and says, ‘Just to let you know, you are now going to break up Sean and [costar] James Franco's conversation. You're going to grab Sean, and Sean's going to be really excited, and he's going to kiss you.'"
And that he did. "I'm performing, and he comes onto the dance floor," Martinez explains. "He grabs me, and he just slaps the biggest kiss on me...It felt like the kiss was forever. I'm like, Is he going to stop? I had to close my eyes. I couldn't believe it." And we're all "we don't believe it either!"- especially the part about it all being Sean Penn's idea. Although we're sure he's gotten totally into his role as Harvey, we wonder how much Lee Strasberg an actor would have to study to find silver tranny ferocia over there so irresistible. We don't know which is more disturbing: the thought of this anecdote being true, or the fact that E!'s writers started their story by actually printing "Sean Penn does more than pay lip service to his role as Harvey Milk." Wow.
