Was Jonathan Rhys Meyers' character gay?


He called the other man Bunny and was naked in bed with him but had a wife in public. Were they implied to be secret yet adorable homosexuals?

I'm surprised they had a fairly big name actor like him in such a small role. I kept expecting him to be involved in a subplot, not just as an ironic counterpoint to Nobbs.

I think JRM did the movie as a favor to Glen Close as they are friends. Or GC offered something for JRM to do as he had finished the Tudors and had a couple of personal hiccups from 2009-10.

I totally didn't see the need for him in this movie. Yeah, it was a cameo, but not one that would have added to the movie.
