Jay Leno Apologizes for Asking Ryan Phillippe to Give 'Gayest Look'

Wednesday, April 02, 2008

Jay Leno apologized Tuesday for asking actor Ryan Phillippe to give him his

"gayest look" during his late-night show last week.

"In talking about Ryan's first role, I realize that what I said came out

wrong. I certainly didn't mean any malice. I agree it was a dumb thing to

say, and I apologize," Leno said in a statement.

Last week, "Stop-Loss" star Phillippe spoke to Leno about his first paid

acting role as a gay teen on soap "One Life to Live." Leno asked Phillippe,

"Can you give me your gayest look? Say that camera is Billy Bob... Billy Bob

has just ridden in shirtless from Wyoming."

"Wow," replied Phillippe, 33. "That is so something I don't want to do."

On Tuesday, Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation condemned the remarks.

"We are proud of Ryan for refusing to participate in Leno's thoughtless

attempt at humor," said GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano. "Under the guise

of comedy, the talk-show host is demonstrating a lack of respect for the gay

community and insensitivity to both his co-workers and the audience, to whom

he owes an apology."
