Dustin Lance Black, the writer and director, has responded to a GQ Australia interview in which Taylor Lautner was asked whether Black or Gus Van Sant (both of whom are gay) had made a pass at him when the trio had dinner together at a restaurant last summer.

“No, definitely not,” replied Lautner. “I think they know I’m straight. But they’re great guys. They’re a lot of fun.”

The same site made similar declarations back in October.
