hmmm

My first reaction was "whose is it?"

Thought he couldn't?

do you know of ANY Hollywood male actors who have come out publicly?????

I rest my case....

teeavee · 06/10/2005 10:42

go to other thread to read my (somewhat threadbare) piece of 'evidence'

Lonelywitch · 06/10/2005 10:44

Well I am not very Hollywood minded and don't read gossip mags, but surely there are some well known gay actors. And even if there are not, don't they just stay single these days? Do they really marry women just to scotch rumours?

expatinscotland · 06/10/2005 10:45

Rock Hudson, people. Remember, he had nothing but relationships with women. Until he developed AIDS and went public just before his death.

teeavee · 06/10/2005 10:45

Yes
Don't underestimate the conservatism of Hollywood/the American public

doormat · 06/10/2005 10:46

apparently James Dean was gay too
very true expat

Lonelywitch · 06/10/2005 10:48

But Jame Dean died in the 50s and Rock Hudson was a star of the 50s. Is it still like that today?

expatinscotland · 06/10/2005 10:49

Spot on, tee! It is very, very conservative still in many areas of America, and a male star could DEFINITELY stand to lose much of his marketability if it were to come out that he was homosexual.

expatinscotland · 06/10/2005 10:49

Yes, Lonely, it certainly is. I didn't need to spend 20+ years in Texas to figure that out.

teeavee · 06/10/2005 10:52

I have 2 other names to add:
George Michael (only came out because he was forced to)
Robbie Williams (wants to break America, so hasn't yet)

expatinscotland · 06/10/2005 10:58

I grew up with a bloke who's now getting pretty high up in the ranks of Liongate - some film company. His parents are close friends of my folks. I'll call him 'Rory'. Rory is in his late 20s, very attractive and gay. He's had several boyfriends among the ranks of Hollywood, but knows better than to open his mouth about how is still closeted.

Let's just say it would surprise a few folks. Not just those who are gay, but those who are also openly bisexual in their non-professional lives.

CousinItH · 06/10/2005 11:33

Kevin Spacey?

teeavee · 06/10/2005 11:37

true, forgot about spacey

weesaidie · 06/10/2005 12:34

I know someone who worked with Kevin Spacey at the Vic and said many of the out of work male actors working the theatre bar were propositioned by him.

expatinscotland · 06/10/2005 12:35

DEFFO Kevin Spacey. That's a poorly kept 'secret'.

teeavee · 06/10/2005 12:38

wasn't he mugged on hampstead heath at 3am while he was 'walking his dog'? I remember a bizarre interview with him in the Today prog about it....

expatinscotland · 06/10/2005 12:41

Yes, he was 'walking his dog'. More like dogging.

teeavee · 06/10/2005 12:42

great actor though

And look where he is now doing most of his work in consequence...the UK, where we don't expect all our actors to be straight, thank goodness.
It's interesting that slightly more women in the US public eye feel able to come out...Ellen de Generes, Rosie O'Donnell, Melissa Etheredge.
Apart from his total lack of discernible talent I just find Tom Cruise contemptible on so many levels I don't know where to begin. Ugh ugh ugh

bundlebat · 06/10/2005 13:18

snap, marina

LadyCodofCodford · 06/10/2005 13:23
