Clint Eastwood wants to cast Joaquin Phoenix as J. Edgar Hoover's boyfriend, Clyde Tolson, in the upcoming movie Hoover. I don't really see the resemblance, but I'm sure with a bit of makeup and hairstyling it would work.

With a script by Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, Hoover explores the two men's complicated relationship; neither man ever admitted to being gay, and Hoover was known for hunting down and intimidating those who dared questioned his sexual preference while he was alive. But Hoover's actions in death seem to suggest they were more than simply pals in life: When Hoover died, Tolson was not only the beneficiary of Hoover's life-insurance policy, he also inherited Hoover's estate and moved into his house. At Hoover's funeral, he accepted the U.S. flag draped over Hoover's coffin, and today, Tolson's grave is a few yards from Hoover's in the Congressional Cemetery.
