Marlon Brando's sexuality???

There is something about Marlon Brando that I want true confirmation. It has to do with Marlon Brando’s sexuality. For years I have trying to find certainty whether Marlon Brando was bisexual.
It starts with quote:

Brando made the following comment about his sex life in an interview with Gary Carey, for his 1976 biography The Only Contender, "Homosexuality is so much in fashion it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me. But if there is someone who is convinced that Jack Nicholson and I are lovers, may they continue to do so. I find it amusing."
Now this was done back in the in the 70’s. I have wondered if Gary Carey was citing truth or purposely misquoted him.

How many fans believe the 1976 biography of Marlon Brando to be the absolute truth?

According to one online source, Nobody here has paid attention to the direct quote from Brando that the "Personal life" section cites as a legitimate source. If you read it, you know that the man was addressing a rumor that circulated while he was filming The Missouri Breaks in the mid 1970s. The rumor had it that co-stars Brando and Jack Nicholson were having an affair. It was because the journalist addressed this rumor that Brando said, "Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences ..."
Then there is his first wife Anna Kashfi who made multiple claims including her book about her difficult relationship with Brando and she made statement on his A&E biography.

Then there his costar from The Last Tango Paris who claimed he was bisexual.
Rumors have existed for years and it does not help with Darwin Porter: Brando Unzipped. Which was poorly written and bunch of garbage and I don’t believe any of it.

Now when Marlon Brando wrote his autobiography, song my mother taught me" he does was quite candid about himself. In the introduction he mentions that there have been a lot books written about that was false about his character. I wondering if he was referencing 1976 The Only Contender? He gives antidote about when was starting out in New York a theater director come on to him in sexual way and Brando punched him. Now if Brando was bisexual then why did he fight off the gay man’s advances? He does not mention of having sexual relationship with men but he does with women including Marilyn Monroe. There is no doubt that he was a sexual animal with women. Brando talks about his friendship with Montgomery Clift and he even address Clift’s sexuality and that he was certain on or the other about Clift’s sexual preference. Brando was aware of talk about Monty but he admits people have said the same about him. It was like Brando was telling the reader that rumors of him be gay or bisexual was just rumors.


Now there are people out there that claim that Brando was bisexual. They didn’t know the man personally but they reference Porter’s trashy book and “The Contender.”

People’s comments online

Brando wrote an autobiography, song my mother taught me", in which he admits to some bi-sexual affairs.

He's no longer around to affirm or deny that he was. There were plenty of Hollywood rumors to that effect. I don't recall him denying them in any news reports. Maybe he was just trying not to draw a lot of attention to what he thought was his own personal business and nobody elses?
Brando wrote an autobiography, song my mother taught me", in which he admits to some bi-sexual affairs.

In his auto-biography he spoke openly about having engaged in homosexual experiences, although he gave no specifics.

Whether these facts means he was "bisexual" depends on how one defines the term. He might have been heterosexual who engaged in gay behavior for the excitement, not because of long-standing, deep-seated sexual desire.
Now I don’t recall that Brando mention in “Song My Mother Taught Me” that engaged this kind behavior unless I missed a page or more.

Now many fans will say that this not important or relevant to discuss online about Brando. I acknowledge people to don’t care on way or the other but I’m one of the exceptions.
Christmas is here and it a great gift to receive the truth Brando whether he was or was not. Personally I hope that he was not.


Actually, the sexuality is the attraction towards two males and females. I assume if he is doing such, he was attracted toward that man, and in usch s bisexual to an extent. He may not have been attracted to many men, and more woman, but anyone who is heterosexyal can easily say and admit hat they are not attracted to everyone of the same sex, just as someone who is homosexual is not attracted to everyone of the same sex.

So if he was, which a lot of rumors claim him to be
Marlon Brando spoke openly about numerous heterosexual affairs, including one he claimed to have had with Marilyn Monroe. He also fathered eleven children.

In his auto-biography he spoke openly about having engaged in homosexual experiences, although he gave no specifics.

Anna Kashfi Marlon Brando was bisexual why is this not in the article about him? It has been written about in many biographies about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.78.234.170 (talk) 02:27, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Why doesn't the article about Jack Nicholson include the same quote? Nicholson himself never commented on the rumor. If anyone restores the words "Brando was bisexual" to Brando's article, then I'm going to add "Nicholson is bisexual" to his article. Brando never commented on the bedroom during any other interview. His memoir tapdances around it, and Larry King didn't ask him about it during their CNN interview that you can find on You Tube. Brando did talk publicly about his children, especially after one of them was prosecuted for murder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.101.236.250 (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Irrespective of how many accounts there were of Brando's homosexual "encounters" or "affairs" there are, they'll always be redacted. The vast majority of editors on Wikipedia are blatantly homophobic. Funny how they "require proof" of homosexuality, but not of heterosexuality. Iamvered (talk) 17:41, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Marlon Brando sorta provided "proof" for his own heterosexuality by fathering fifteen kids. Besides, does "homosexual expierences" mean he is instantly homosexual or bisexual? Mythic Writerlord (talk) 10:26, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

From reading the Bisexuality section in this article, I do not see where Brando confirmed being bisexual. Sure, he says that he had "homosexual experiences," but I point out that plenty of people have had "homosexual experiences" and yet do not consider themselves bisexual. The same can be said of homosexual men and women who have had "heterosexual experiences" but do not consider themselves bisexual. The Bisexuality article even addresses this type of thing.


I will also address this on the James Dean article, where there is only speculation about his sexual orientation from others, no confirmation from Dean himself. I mean, this being the case, Dean clearly should not be in Category:Bisexual actors, and probably neither should Brando. Flyer22 (talk) 00:42, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I feel it should be in the personal life section and headed "Personal life". If he was exclusively heterosexual, his relationships would be discussed under such a neutral header. We don't discuss the sexual orientation of heterosexual people, it's just kind of taken from granted. Cynthia Nixon#Personal life is a reasonable example (given that I haven't spent much time searching for a better one.) It mentions her relationship with a man, and her relationship with a woman, all under the one generic heading. I think that's preferable. Rossrs (talk) 12:20, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

It's probably ok to say that he was bisexual, but I don't think it's a good idea to have a subheader "bisexuality". Such a section should cover all discussion of his sexuality, because his relationships with both sexes place him in this category, and yet his relationships with women are dealt with under a broader and more neutral "Personal life" header. The "bisexuality" section, brief though it is, deals only with his relationships with men. It makes the overall section less neutral and places undue emphasis on the subject by spotlighting it.

Well what is the verdict? Is there too much substantial evidence to that say's that he was bisexual or not enough to prove that he was?
