Zachary Quinto has reportedly been in a relationship with Miles McMillan, but why was he kissing another guy in a released photo?

The Star Trek actor who's been dating his model boyfriend for a while was seen locking lips in a pretty steamy photo with Desperate Housewives actor Charlie Carver. And not only that, but the two were joined by Oscar nominee James Franco.

While some might think that this photo was for some kind of wild group sex- especially since the three guys are shirtless- it looks like this was strictly for business.

TMZ posted the photo on Thursday and mentioned that Franco teased it for the Sundance premiere of his new film I am Michael. In this movie, Franco plays Michael Glatze- a former gay magazine editor who became an anti-gay activist.

Another photo was released where Franco and Quinto share a smooch yet again in what looks like a passionate moment. And based on the first picture, it definitely looks like there will be some sensual male-male-male action in the flick.

In real life, Quinto seems to be having a decent relationship with McMillan since he posted a photo of him on his Instagram page on New Year's Eve where he dons nothing except for a black leather jacket and small speedos. McMillan stands in beach water with a hand near his head as he strikes a sultry pose.

Quinto referred to his boyfriend as his "own new year's treasure" in the caption.
