The Clooneys - is it real

Just that, they seem so deliriously in love in every picture I've seen of them.

More power to them if they are that happy, they've both hit the jackpot in so many ways.

But.. to still look so enthralled with each other after so many years??

Marriages and loving, long term relationships come in all shapes and sizes.

Who cares how they work as long as the people in the relationship are happy and healthy.

I don’t think Rupert Everett really needs to come out, it was pretty obvious.

80smonster · 29/08/2025 19:24

It’s all for the cameras. Really George is in love with me…

He’s definitely gay. I can’t imagine him being straight

I think you need to keep your lack of imagination to yourself.

For all of you saying he's gay and using the marriage as cover so he can get into politics - newsflash; Ireland had a gay prime minister.

Damn good point! I’d quite forgotten our Leo.
Gosh, that seems so long ago. Sometimes I can’t remember which of our current top lads is in the hot seat now at all 🤣

Beard.

Wasn’t this also said about Hugh Jackman and his wife?
He’s gone to such lengths to hide his gay side that he left his wife for another woman. Crazy!

Apologies I missed that someone else had said this.

Yup he’s gay.

I thought he was gay before he came out, not sure anyone was surprised but maybe making it official is still risky. Not so much nowadays I’d have thought, with streaming services being so diverse in their content, cinema movies are no longer the be all end all.

Show quote history

I think many weren't surprised, and it was an open secret. Which I guess was why he thought it wasn't a risky thing to do.

But there's a difference between open secrets and openly gay, especially when you're up on the big screen trying to persuade people you're a hotblooded male passionate about your leading lady.

Bepo77 · 29/08/2025 19:19

My dad's friend's cousin's parrot's aunt met him once and got the impression he's gay, so that settles it

theDudesmummy · 29/08/2025 19:15

It's possible that he is gay and they do have a fabulous life, just an unconventional one.

I’d be very happy to marry a gay (celibate) man who, like me (straight woman) have had enough of sex/attraction based relationships. No sex , just companionship without all the emotional hassle.

Blondiney · 29/08/2025 19:16

Didn't the rumours start because of all the young, handsome men he used to entertain at his Lake Como villa? One ended up in hospital or something.

BunnyLake · 29/08/2025 19:15

CrimsonStoat · 29/08/2025 19:08

Rupert Everett is on record as saying he wished he'd stayed in the closet. Because one minute he was a leading man, then when he came out, all the lead parts dried up.

Maybe a few high profile A lister leading men and women might come out, but by far the majority will stay in the closet.

You must settle in real life for some terrible version of a man.

None of those men are A-List hollywood blockbuster material.

Actually Wentworth Miller stated in an interview that coming out tanked his career.

Up to this point I thought I had read the stupidest post on this thread but no - along you come and say this.

Do you know how this makes you sound?

Show quote history

My friend’s sister’s mate’s cousin’s aunt once knew someone who was told by a work colleague’s boss that a famous actor was gay, so it must be true.
