Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor hang out in gay bar for their art

Ewan McGregor and Jim Carey were reportedly spotted at Miami gay bar Halo for “Martini Tuesday” this week.

Just hangin’ with the regulars?

Well, it turns out that Carey and McGregor were ‘doing research’ for their new movie, I Love You Phillip Morris, shooting in Miami.  Yes, Ewan and Jim play gay lovers!

The film is based on the true story of a Texan convict who fell in love with his cell mate.  Ewan McGregor describes the storyline: “Jim’s character is a con artist and an escape artist, who escapes from prison to be with me. It’s an incredible story.”

Of course, if you live in South Beach that story is more typical than incredible, but the characters it is based on were in Texas so it’s got a little Brokeback goes to prison flavor to it.
