Who's kissing Gilbert Grape?

Former Sexiest Man Alive Bradley Cooper and "Titanic" (I know he's done some movies since) star Leonardo DiCaprio were recently photographed like this:



There are many logical explanations why the two actors appear shirtless and look like they have just woken up, with Cooper's hair a tossled mess and DiCaprio's eyes needing a Botox refresher from Nicole Kidman's doctor.  But it's just too odd in a good way.

While Cooper can come across as very effiminate and light weight, he takes chances with tough roles like "The Elephant Man" and is just so darn affable.  He laughed off his Sexiest Man Alive honor, but more importantly, agreed with the millions of women and gay men that it should have been bestowed on Ryan Gosling that year.

Gay cred:  Had a pretty graphic gay sex scene (no nudity) in "Wet Hot Summer."

Leo is a star everyone seems to love.  Most recently, the great Daniel Day Lewis said he took the role in "Lincoln" at the urging of DiCaprio.  While I think his "Gilbert Eating Grapes" greatness is long gone, DiCaprio does have every great director clamoring to work with him so he doesn't embarrass himself with his performances.

Gay cred:  He dropped trou as a gay man in "Total Eclipse" and played the gay J. Edgar Hoover in "J. Edgar," however the affair was downplayed a bit.

So, I'm going to drop the snark for one minute and say if these two cute dudes are boyfriends, I'm thrilled.  They both are in good shape, friends of the LGBT community and seem like nice guys in real life.  While I don't think we can expect to see them walk down the red carpet holding hands anytime soon, let them come to the balcony shirtless after "sleeping" anytime they need some air.
