Not to mention that in 1997's WILDE, 
Mr. Bloom played "Rentboy" in a 
blink-and-you've-missed-it scene 
(okay, more a potent exchange of 
meaningful glances than an actual scene) 
that IIRC marks the introduction
of Oscar Wilde's (possibly burgeoning 
at that point - can't recall) self-
realization of his own homosexuality to 
the audience.
