McKellen blasts Gyllenhaal

Ian McKellen has criticised Jake Gyllenhaal for being apprehensive about kissing his Brokeback Mountain co-star Heath Ledger on screen.

The gay The Lord of The Rings actor - who recently spoke out against Hollywood's old-fashioned views on sexuality - lambasted Gyllenhaal, 25, for failing to consider how his comments would be interpreted from a homosexual perspective.
