"Rome" star James Purefoy never says never...

I haven't seen any of HBO's "Rome" but maybe someone will give me the DVD for Christmas (hint to friends and family) so I can enjoy that handsome Brit James Purefoy who plays Marc Antony. I've thought he was the bomb since seeing him several years ago as a sexually confused man in the indie gem "Bedrooms and Hallways." Purefoy gave a recent interview to Out magazine (he is the January cover boy) and says he leaves things open when it comes to sexual situations and would "never say never" when it comes to having sex with a man.
He says: "You'd be a fool and an unwise man to say never. I haven't as yet had a gay relationship - not since school anyway - but I'd never say never. That would just be foolish. I've known lots of people who've been straight and turned gay; I know lots of people who've been gay and turned straight. I think the more of a big deal we make out of that stuff, the harder it is for people to act how their heart wants them to act."
OK, but what about this gay at school stuff, Jimbo?
"Anyone who went to an English [private] school in the 1970s will have had some kind of a gay experience. You bang 500 adolescent hormonal boys together at exactly the time when they're exploring their sexuality, and don't be surprised if some shenanigan comes out of it."
This revelation leaves gay men like me just giddy with hope. Then we wake up and realize most of us have as much a chance with him as with Brad Pitt! But if there is a lucky guy who does get to know Purefoy in the biblical sense, congratulations in advance.
