Anyone else find him intriguing?
Only dating younger women, the friendship between Kate W and him, looked like she was in love with him. I’m just intrigued about him…not sure why 🤣

That is true. I don’t disagree with your point. But, can you think of a single famous Hollywood male actor, past or present who admitted to being gay? Statistically, some of them must be / have been.

People gossip because of the need for deception, not because there should be anything unusual about being gay.

As said, before. It’s because it limits what roles they can play in Hollywood.

Not to be disrespectful, but I doubt you'll take anything on board anyway, being gay isn't as taboo as it used to be. You can't compare Hollywood now to how it was decades ago.

He seems keen to change the world for the better and he hopes to achieve this with his wildlife foundation and by producing a few climate change films, speaking at conferences etc. Unfortunately, he totally misses the note and has no idea how to engage the public who can't relate to him one bit. He is living life of privilege and excess and is therefore the last person that should be telling the rest of us to cut back. Also, it's hard to take someone seriously who apparantly can't have an age appropriate relationship. It makes you wonder if he has some weird fetish or underlying need to dominanate or control younger women (he might not but it's the impression it gives).

This! Completely agree!

It’s not me - it’s Hollywood. Hollywood has not moved on.

You're not serious? 😂 That was a joke made up by a kid on TikTok 😂

Ooops! I only read the headline not the article as I have no interest whatsoever in either of them, it was just a coincidence as I'd just seen it and saw that comment!!

Lesson learnt not to gossip!! 😂

I agree, being gay isn’t taboo. However I do think that it will limit parts that are offered in Hollywood. I’d like to think not. But you just don’t know!

He does /did look like Jack Nicholson but for some reason whereas Jack got sexier with age with Leo it’s kinda not happened.

SizzlerFizzler · 24/08/2022 21:47

If Hollywood had changed all that much, @FleursSechees , there's be far more openly gay stars. The only American gay actors I can think of is Zachary quinto, who played Spock in the reboot, and the guy from Big Bang Theory. Handful more out lesbians but even still it's a pretty small number.

Hollywood is all about the $$$. They have no interest in their stars being their authentic selves if their authentic self angers Billie Bob and Kelly Sue in Nebraska.

Mynameiss · 24/08/2022 21:48

Just Googled lots 🙄lots coming up about this Lucas guy but nothing about weird sex stuff 🤷🏻‍♀️I wish someone would link an old thread !

Makes you think. There’s these ppl with so much fame, money etc. But if you can’t be your authentic self would you really want to be in their place? For me, no.

Amazing actor.

I love his relationship with Kate. I was watching some clips of the recently and they are wholesome together.

I find his relationship with much younger woman nothing new but disappointing and predictable.

Rumours abound about him treating women dreadfully. I have never been able to look at him the same way since. Read some blinds. You’d be shocked.

What are blinds?

MattDillonsEyebrows · 24/08/2022 21:28

Blimey, I am learning some new language tonight!!

So beards are pretend girlfriends? Does anyone in real life use this word? Now I know it, I'd like to use it, but will I look a dick if I do?

Blinds - Blind gossip? WTF is that? Can someone give me an example or even better, a link to a 'blind gossip' website?

Also, same question, will I look like a div if I use the term 'blinds' in normal conversation?

Is this what the Gen Z are all saying now? Or is it millennials trying to stay cool again? 😁

Blind gossip sites are where people send in anonymous info about celebs, they claim to be people who know/have worked with them or know people who know them, it's their way of leaking info without it coming back on them.
Obviously some stuff will be made up though so difficult to know which ones are true

The old thread was, IIRC, in the section called 'sleb gossip', which seems to not exist anymore. Sad

MattDillonsEyebrows · 24/08/2022 21:32

Good to know, thank you @Igotjelly

But the beards can turn into wives who are lied to or made to keep quite for decades and then have to pretend they’re super supportive of their lives being turn upside down.

No problem with women acting as beards if they’re fully aware they’re doing so and it’s about support, companionship and enjoying adventures as friends.

It’s wrong when it’s leading someone on and having them believe you’re something you’re not.

BarbaraofSeville · 24/08/2022 21:52

Well I've just invented myself a new game. If I see a thread with a name of a famous person, I have to guess whether the thread is because they have died, have been accused of sexual assault or something else.

I lost the first round because happily it seems that Leonardo dicaprio is still alive.

I always get mixed up with him and Matt Damon. I think it is because of the films the Talented Mr Ripley and Catch me if you can, which have quite a similar plotline.

And have any of these men played the lead in a romantic film?

Hollywood wants to make money selling films to heterosexual women who can imagine being with the lead guy in the film. I can’t believe there are people who don’t know about this. There is plenty of evidence about it. Hollywood is a corrupt organisation. They don’t care about decent behaviour. Hence the constant chatter about pedophilia being a problem.

I was obsessed by him as a teenager in the late 90s. I thought he was gorgeous. Then his films weren’t to my taste for quite a number of years and I kind of forgot about him. Then I watched don’t look up a few months ago and didn’t even recognise him! He looks like a completely different person now. Just had a quick Google and it seems he’s been in a relationship with someone (who incidentally was born the year that Titanic was released) since 2017? So not sure what people mean by him dating younger people or being a sleaze but maybe I’m not googling hard enough!

She was 20 when they confirmed their relationship. He was 42. Look at his last girlfriends and they are all 25 are under, this this current relationship is pushing his history with the number 25.

Googling his name , violence and blinds brings up nothing

dworky · 24/08/2022 21:56

I don't find him intriguing in any way, he's depressingly pedestrian - going out with women far too young for him. He's a typical entitled, immature manchild.
