Rachel Weisz is into being a lesbian iconWith her sultry looks and pouty lips, it’s no wonder actress Rachel Weisz has been put on many lists of leading ladies we love. (Alliteration is fun!) In a recent interview with Vanity Fair Español she tells them that not only does she love being a lesbian icon — she would also love to take on a lesbian role.
From the cover of the glossy magazine, a half-dressed Weisz stares back at us with a come hither look so sexy I might just put a few Euros in the mail and subscribe. Beneath her beautiful photo, the captions read, “Rachel Weisz is sexy! Is excited! Is fun! Is the new Amenábar girl!” and then quotes her as saying, “I want to be a lesbian icon.” My Spanish is a little rusty but I was able to glean this from the interview, in which she talks a lot about her role in Agora, which we showed you for the trailer for a few weeks back. Somewhere along the line, Rachel was asked how she felt about being named the most desired woman among lesbians (as proclaimed in an English newspaper). To this she said, “It’s fantastic, don’t you think? I love being a lesbian icon!” She goes on to say she would love to be given a lesbian role in a film. “Something like Ang Lee did (with Brokeback Mountain) with a history of women.”
I think I just tinkled myself a little thinking about this. I could do without the impending doom that will no doubt be a part of any historical lesbian love story taken to the big screen, but count me in among the group of women who would like to see this happen — though please make sure Ilene Chaiken is not considered to take on the role of director.

The quote under her name actually says:
"I want to be a lesbian icon"
oops ok my bad
mmmm....
I have the biggest crush on her.
Yes!!!! i wonder why they
Yes!!!!
i wonder why they haven't done a lesbian BROKEBACK mountain yet??? with 2 huge leading ladies!!! beats me.
well now that we have Rachel in mind, a writer/director needs to write that script!
id like to see her play gay too!!!! that would be heaven.
but a GOOD love story, one with a HAPPY ending. And both characters to be gay.
I Knew Rachel Weisz Was Cool Like That
What is with all these
What is with all these straight women wanting to be lesbian icons? Does Lesbian = Money? Anyhow I LOVE HER!!! :D

sexy CON girl
Just love her in the flick, "Confidence". I hope if she would make a lezie film they would let her use her British accent. That would be sweet and sexy.
I'd like that! The
I don't think she's entirely...straight...
in defense of her statement and the person who is annoyed about straight woman wanting to be lesbian icons...I was at university with her in England, and my house mate was a good friend of hers. She wasn't famous then, but well known for being beautiful AND swinging both ways...
She may have settled on one swing of the pendulum or the other since then, but it could explain her 'soft spot' for lesbians...!
What the!!! ???? are u
What the!!! ????
are u serious!! whoa..... i hope thats true. ;)

Oh. My. Gods....
Rachel...lesbian...historical...ARGHHHHH!
THUD!
I think my heart just stopped!
Someone, please, by all that is right and holy, MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
The only thing better than Rachel Weisz being a lesbian icon
.....is Rachel Weisz actually being a lesbian. But I think I can settle for second best.

Now that
oh my soul...
My admiration for Rachel Weisz goes a long time back but my god, the last photo totally killed me. :o)
Not only she's a beautiful, JEWISH, BRITISH lady, her intelligence pours from every inch of that beautiful face...
*sigh*
She's got the biggest right to be a lesbian icon and the fact she not only embraces it (in her case I believe she truly does) but also wants to star in some proper L film...my god, I can die happy if that happens.
*fingers crossed*
+++libraries gave us power+++
Historical lesbian movie....
I don't think Sarah Waters' Night Watch has been made into a movie yet. Of course, we could always just readapt Fingersmith every year with different actresses. That has to be the best lesbian novel/movie of all time. Or we could lock Sarah Waters in the dungeon and threaten her with the addled ramblings of Megan Fox until she writes another lesbian novel specifically so that Rachel could play in the film adaptation.
One day, the grammar police will kill them all.
The Mummy
Whoa, will I never forget my first experience drooling over Rachel. I had to see the movie a second time because I didn't remember anything about it due to my being in a full on daze.
And that black and white picture of her above. Well, let's just say, I'm drooling all over again. Sheesh, some people just win the genetic lottery.
yes
Stunning
Rachel Weisz gets me every time her style, grace, accent. I'd watch her through anything even if it was directed by IC. Bi/Gay/ Straight, I don't care she is still one of my favorites.
She loves being a lesbian icon and....
She would love to play gay until...she actually does and then she'll probably pull an Olivia Wilde and complain about it limiting her growth as an actress.
You just know, don't you that Oivia's dissatifaction playing a "bisexual" had less to do with overwelheming lesbian outpour and reaction to the character 13 being bisexual than it had with Wilde's deep seeded homophpbia.
I don't even know why AfterEllen continues to hype her cause I don't find her attractive, and I love "the beautiful".
And when did Rachel become a lesbian Icon? Did it happen when she made Whiteout or what? She did made Whiteout right? Doesn't matter cause she's another one.

Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed today
Why do I have to have gotten up on the wrong side..?
Because I THINK? Because I don't blindly join in lock step with others? Please enough.
Technology Will Lead To The Demise Of Civilization As We Know It.
Rachel is hot and I want to
Rachel is hot and I want to lick her.
But I'm also of two minds when someone not gay gushes about wanting to be a gay icon. It's great when people are tolerant and open-minded, but I don't like the idea of gay being just another trend.
Well-said
I agree (on both counts). Yes, it's fun to imagine a Brokeback for women, esp with RW in the role, but I'd take her (and a lot of the others who say the same line) more seriously if she was out there taking an activist stance for our rights more generally. We need that!
There's a big difference between saying "I enjoy being wanted by lesbians" and "Lesbians need better/more visibility and I'd like to be part of it." The way the quotes came out it sounds like it's all about her.
I do enjoy the pretty pictures, though.
Special
Runaway Jury and The Constant Gardener made me her big fan..
She's great for roles of strong women and excels from majority of other (big) hollywood actresses of her age.
Never insult anyone by accident.

Giggle
Ahahaha you said tinkled. I really did laugh out loud for that and it maked me realize that I have the maturity level of a 12 year old boy. I'm fine with that.
