Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell told the Daily
Mail
: “It is a shame that such a great British sporting hero has
resorted to this crude homophobic language. Prejudice has no place in any
sport.

“Surely Stirling Moss would want himself to be played by the best actor,
regardless of their sexuality?”

The original comments came after Moss was told that Australian actor Chris
Hemsworth was playing Formula One driver James Hunt in a new film called
Rush.
