"A kiss is still a kiss for Depp"

Johnny Depp is the latest heartthrob who’s rumored to be puckering up for a same-sex smooch in an upcoming film.
The Oscar-nominated actor, who was named People magazine’s sexiest man alive in 2003, is starring in “The Libertine,” about 17th Century poet John Wilmot, also known as the Earl of Rochester.
Wilmot was believed to be bisexual, and spies are reporting that Depp has some heavy-duty tonsil-hockey scenes with another man in the flick. “His name is Rupert Friend and he’s a fairly unknown actor,” says the source, “but very handsome. The lucky guy.”
Depp’s rep couldn’t be reached for comment, but the actor joins such hunks as Colin Farrell (in “Alexander” and “A Home at the End of the World”), Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger (“Brokeback Mountain”) to play gay or bisexual characters on screen.
