11 Historical figures you didn’t know were gay – this will shock many! (With Pictures)

9. Errol Flynn

One of the original action movie stars of classics like Robin Hood and Captain Blood had a wild sex life with women, and even more so with men. Hollywood producer Robert Evans (himself noted for his womanizing ways) recalls attending a Mexican orgy with Flynn.  Biographers assert that his home was also a veritable sexual playground, complete with two-way mirrors, peep holes and secret passages! He had numerous male lovers, including Tyrone Power, Truman Capote, Howard Hughes, Rock Hudson and–in a stunning 2010 discovery–future president Ronald Reagan!  The authenticity of the letters remain in dispute, though they detail a passionate sexual affair.
