Diane Lane understands why Josh Brolin has a Big Gay Following...

I gotta say, the one red carpet experience I had with Diane Lane was about three months ago and the feeling I got from her was that she is one cool woman - self-assured and down-to-Earth. She even cut her own hair. I interviewed her husband, the oh-so-handsome Josh Brolin four years ago or so for a magazine piece tied to his short-lived but terrific NBC series "Mister Sterling." It was a phoner so we didn't get to meet but it was a good interview. He had thoughtful answers, nothing by-the-numbers about him.

That brings me to The Advocate's Big Gay Following feature on Diane which was posted this morning via Towleroad. I'll let her words speak for themselves and you can see for yourself what a cool woman she is and how much she loves her guy:

"I’m delighted to hear that [I have a gay fan base], but I have to say I’m more aware of my husband’s. That appeal? I understand it. But I think I turn a blind eye to my own because I get embarrassed or I’m shy or I don’t take compliments well. I can’t speak for [Josh], but I know that there are plenty of guys that I’ve been around who have expressed if not glee for me, then envy of me...I was blessed to have no previous impressions of him aside from meeting him, which is a much healthier way to start a relationship. I finally saw Goonies after we had already been together for, like, a year. Then I became jealous that I didn’t meet him when I was 15 and got very upset over anybody he knew before me -- ever. [If I had known how great he was earlier in life] I’d have hunted him down with a harpoon and lassoed him to my thigh for the rest of my life. No questions, hands down -- he’s worth 10 of any other comparable hot guy for me. And that works for me because I get excited every time I go home."
