David Thewlis on Remus Lupin
Apparently even David Thewlis, who plays Remus Lupin in the movies, thought that his character was the gay one:
O.K. but what about the revelation that Albus Dumbledore is gay? Thewlis concedes that threw him for a loop, but not for the reasons you might think. "The funny thing when Alfonso Cuaron directed "The Prisoner of Azkaban, the first film that I appear in, he had the idea that Lupin was gay and he described my character like a 'gay junkie'.
I have a lot of complaints about that movie, but it did make me a Remus/Sirius 'shipper. If Cuaron intended all that subtext, then I think I can forgive him for a lot else.
