Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

that TV guide photoshoot is "proof" the characters are sleeping together. WTF??

And having a threesome with their Creator to boot! Good times, good times.

You guys recall that old Madonna video, where she is all peep-show and bustier for the first 80% of the video, and then at the end goes prancing around in the street, in non-sexy clothes, with a skinny preteen boy?

Open Your Heart. IIRC, the kid was early teens (14 or something) when they shot the vid. I saw it a lot when I was out with chicken pox (I was 12).

Djimon was more like me backing away, trying to get out of range of his mysterious powers before it was too late.

Oh, hell yeah. I mean, I was safely across the room, and totally enthralled. I just wanted to stare until my eyes dried out.

PMM, please reassure me. It wasn't Who's-the-Boss-era Leo DiCaprio, was it? Please say no.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm really pretty sure it wasn't.

Nope. Wasn't Leo.

brillig

I liked that video. I guess I like the proper moral outrage circuits, because I saw the boy's curiosity in the peep show posters and all that as more bafflement than anything else. I got no sexual vibe at all from the bit where Madonna and the boy dance off together, more as if she was going back to a less jaded stage herself.

It had never occurred to me that Madonna was supposed to be exhibiting any sexual response to that little boy. He had an unrealistic lack of a sexual response to her, as far as I can tell.

Quite probably gay.

Felix Howard. That was the kid's name. No idea what he's doing now.

Re: HP and the Lusting After Underage Actors: Was I the only bugged by one of the commenter's assertation that "everyone" looked at certain pictures of Daniel Radcliffe and defaulted to a sexual POV? Because *I* sure don't.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Yeah, that's fandom for you--overuse of "everyone". Also "they".
