'Superman' star Christopher Reeve had a gay affair with late porn star Cal Culver, a new book has revealed.
Culver, who died in 1987, said that Reeve was not gay but was 'willing to try anything once', says the book Hollywood Babylon Strikes Again. He alleged he had a two-month affair with the star which left Reeve 'liberated', reports dailymail.co.uk. Culver said he met Reeve when they auditioned for a role on Broadway in the mid-1970s and that he was 'the man of my dreams'.
According to Culver, who appeared in 1971 gay porn film 'Boys In The Sand', he shared a passionate two-month long affair with Reeve. Their relationship ended when Reeve found out that Culver was a gay porn star performing under the name Casey Donovan.
'Christopher was a great lover and I think I liberated him sexually. I didn't think he was gay but he seemed willing to try anything once. He was curious,' Culver said in the now published interview.
Darwin Porter, who has co-written the book, said: 'I have no doubt this was legit - I knew Cal for years and at one stage we even lived next to each other. He was a very credible source and all the other stories he has told me checked out.
Ar first glance, Darwin Porter surely comes across as kind of a scumbag. Publishing a book making wild accusations about two men who are no longer with us and able to comment on the allegations seems blatantly unfair. Especially if his basis for printing this story is "Cal ususally told the truth about other things." We're anxious to see what sort of documenting proof the book contains, if any.
