Simon Pegg: 'Men should kiss men'

Simon Pegg has revealed that he believes all men should kiss another man so that they can understand homosexuality.

The actor, who is married with a daughter, explained that he is confident about his sexuality and thinks that homophobia needs to be tackled.

He told Glamour: "I've never been homophobic and I like flirting with gay guys; they're easier to flirt with than women. I flirt with my gay friends quite happily, even in front of my wife. They like it if you are a bit cheeky and touchy-feely; it's fun and more slapstick.

"Once I had to kiss three guys; real full-on snogs. I think every man should snog another man. A kiss is so much more than physical touching; we laughed about it at the time, but there was no passion.

"It would help them understand. Homophobia's all about fear of the unknown, like it's something you could catch. But it's not a choice, it's biological."

The 40-year-old said that he can appreciate good-looking men but insisted that he is "boringly straight".

He added: "I can see beauty in men, I think some are really gorgeous. [Colin Farrell] is kind of pretty, I guess. I know Brad Pitt's an obvious choice, but there's something very cool about him, very effortless. And he wears clothes well."
