Aug 5 (IBNS) Guy Ritchie’s plan to give a twist to the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in his new movie about the detective and his sidekick could backfire. Rithcie is trying to portray both the characters as gay.

Robert Downey Jr., who plays Holmes, has made a shocking revelation saying that the crime buster will sleep with and Watson, played by Law, in sweaty grappling scenes in “Sherlock Holmes,” which will be ready by Christmas Day, reported Fox News.

“We’re two men who happen to be roommates, wrestle a lot and share a bed. It’s bad-ass,” Downey was quoted as saying.

Law also added:”Guy wanted to make this about the relationship between Watson and Holmes. They’re both mean and complicated.”

Former New York Post critic Michael Medved said that Downey and Law must be joking.

“There’s not a seething, bubbling hunger to see straight stars impersonating homosexuals. I think they’re just trying to generate controversy . . . They know that making Holmes and Watson homosexual will take away two-thirds of their box office. Who is going to want to see Downey Jr. and Law make out? I don’t think it would be appealing to women. Straight men don’t want to see it,” Medved was quoted as saying by Fox News.
