Composer Alec Wilder claimed 'they were definitely a couple,' adding, 'Of course, the words 'sexual fidelity' would be unknown in each of their vocabularies.'īrando wasn't Dean's only alleged same-sex conquest. He'd reportedly wait outside Brando's apartment like a 'puppy dog,' and ask Brando to burn him with cigarettes during sex (per the Daily Mail). In the biography James Dean: Tomorrow Never Comes, authors Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince alleged that Dean enjoyed 'kinky sado-masochistic sex' with actor Marlon Brando (via Express). Judging by other reports, Dean may have occasionally enjoyed going through life with both hands tied behind his back.
