Sally Field is a proud mother of gay son – she did her best to encourage him to discover his true self
Field’s dedication to diversity in her craft is demonstrated in the vastly different roles she’s played since she first started acting. Her career took off in 1965’s Gidget, where she plays a boy-crazed teenager, then playing a Flying Nun (1967 to 1970), to a runaway bride turned booze bandit on Smokey and the Bandit (1977 and 1980).
Greisman, a self-proclaimed “momma’s boy” admits that he’s “perhaps too obsessed with her.” He continues, “Maybe it’s because I’m the youngest, by sixteen years. Maybe it’s because I was a shy little kid and my mom was a safe space; a hip I was attached to. Maybe it’s because gay men feel a certain undeniable affection for award-winning actresses. Who knows! Whatever it is, we have always been incredibly close.”
