“I’ve been getting hit on all my life. Gay, straight, whatever, somebody’s always hitting on me. I had no qualms with that kind of stuff. Whatever you are, that’s who you are.”

In a chat with Vulture, Quincy Jones dropped a bombshell, suggesting Brando had intimate relations with James Baldwin, Richard Pryor, and Marvin Gaye. He said,

“Brando used to go cha-cha dancing with us. He could dance his a*s off. He was the most charming motherf**ker you ever met. He’d f**k anything. Anything! He’d f**k a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye.”

And Pryor’s widow backs up those claims, saying her husband did indeed get cozy with the film legend. According to Jennifer Lee, Pryor was pretty open about his bis*xuality, especially considering it was the wild ’70s. She quipped (TMZ),

“It was the ’70s. D**gs were still good, especially quaaludes. If you did enough coc**ne, you’d f*** a radiator and send it flowers in the morning.”

Pryor’s fluid s*xuality wasn’t exactly a secret. He talked about it in his autobiography and Scott Saul’s book. Lee even mentioned that Pryor kept diaries detailing his hookups and relationships.
