Gaydar alert, which actors do you think are gay?

[thermodynamic]

Okay, this post drags me down to a new low, but I don't care! :P

Personally, I couldn't care - it's just fun to guess. :-)

I think Bill Bixby was gay. For some reason my gaydar goes off the scale everytime I see him in "The Incredible Hulk".

Robert Reed was an obvious one as well (long before the AIDS revelation and other recent TV shows which pointed out the fact, I could tell.)

Or am I just poking at pins and needles? :shrug:

[arwalden]

1. Ben Affleck... and Matt Damon

of course.

[arcos]

34. and they would make a HOT couple!

n/t

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

48. daaamn

That would kind of make me upset, you can't have them both!! :(

[philosophie_en_rose]

51. Matt Damon is Hillary Swank.

So Matt/Hillary may or may not be gay depending on gender.

[supernova]

2. Are you looking for a date, thermo?

:D

[thermodynamic]

23. If I were, I'd say so....

That having been said, I love dates!

And oranges

and apples

and bananas

maybe pears

Love those grapes!

And especially kiwi (only fruity folk eat kiwi...) :D

[arwalden]

3. Christopher Lowell and Sean Hayes

well DUH!!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

49. Christopher Lowell *ISN"T* gay!

Surprise, but he actually has a wife and kids!

[philosophie_en_rose]

50. Him and my gay uncle Martin!

n/t

[Obamarama]

60. Christopher Lowell not gay?

If you told me aliens swooped down over Washington DC and abducted the entire Bush administration and transported them to some far away galaxy, I'd believe THAT. But you tell me Christopher Lowell isn't gay? Wouldn't believe it in a million years. Methinks you are confused. There is no way in hell that man is straight. Nope. Nada. No how. That man makes the Cowardly Lion look like the most macho male thing on earth.

[ronnykmarshall]

4. Tom Cruise

[thermodynamic]

9. Be careful, if he sees that he'll sue you for $15 mil!

Intolerant little boring little overrated dweeb that he is...

[Az]

11. No prob

Just drop a Metallica mp3 file on his computer and let the big guys duke it out with each other.

[ronnykmarshall]

20. Tell the runt to "bring it on".

I can't stand him.

[Az]

21. He(Cruise) is a wee one isn't he - Jeff Goldbloom n/t

.

[lazarus]

36. about Goldblum

He's got a reputation for sleeping with his leading lady, so I dunno about his being gay.

[Az]

37. Was marvelling at his opinion of Cruise

rather than his mating patterns.

[Az]

5. Paul Lynde and maybe Rip Taylor?

I don't know, there was just something about them.

[arwalden]

13. Don Knotts

[Az]

19. Got a friend that is a Don Knotts lookalike

Even does a killer impression. You need to see him in his Biker Getup.

[Champion Jack]

46. is his name Mick Jagger?

[thermodynamic]

22. Don Knotts rules!!!

I see what you mean...

But he was absolutely hilarious in everything he did, particularly "Three's Company" as the goofy wackball (or is that 'wacky goofball?) Mr. Furley.

Man, they've got to release more of these old shows on DVD... I imaging they don't because then nobody would watch the new stuff on the telly, which is pretty much worthless and they know it...

[thermodynamic]

14. Don't forget Vincent Price, but

that's like shooting a fish in a barrel. Given the time period, I can see why he wanted to stay closeted.

And then there's Liberace, who strived to be the greatest piano player ever but is now forgotten except for the one little thing he was too ashamed of... (being gay) :-(

Lynde definitely was... I dunno about Rip Taylor, mostly because I've not ever seen him...

[Az]

17. Rip Taylor = ProtoCarot Top

If you saw Rip you would know. Trust me on this one. I may not have a well tuned gaydar but this guy would light up Jerry Falwell's gaydar.

[TheBigGuy]

66. Paul Lynde was indeed gay

so ive heard.

[Maple]

6. Who was the guy

who played Wyatt Earp many year ago?

Hugh....?

And the man from UNCLE....Robert....?

[Az]

7. Vaughn

Was also in the worst made yet most used SciFlick ever. Battle Beyond the Stars.

[SoCalDem]

8. Hugh O'Brien

:)

[Maple]

25. I dunno

but to the best of my knowledge neither Robert Vaughn nor Hugh O'Brian (and thank you for the names) ever married, or were even seen with women for that matter.

Vaughn talked about political office at one time, but nothing ever came of it. O'Brian sank without a trace after the series ended.

I think there were tabloid photos of Vaughn, but never of O'Brian with dates.

Given the times, I assumed they just stayed closeted.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

39. Hugh O'Brian dated Soraya

who was the ex-wife of the Shah of Iran (the one before Queen Farah). I know this because my relatives subscribed to German gossip magazines, and Soraya was as much of a favorite topic for them as Jennifer Lopez is for our tabloids.

They said that she went for Hugh O'Brian because he looked like the Shah (which he did, kind of).

On the other hand, she could have been "camouflage" for him.

[thermodynamic]

10. Robert Vaughn?!

Doesn't seem right...

[Feanorcurufinwe]

12. There are gay people in show business?

There are gay people in show business?

Who'd a thunk it?

[thermodynamic]

16. I'd say the same for straight people...

Of course, the one thing that's universal is that there's no such thing as an actor who is emotionally well-balanced or one who isn't mentally ill. They're all selfish egomaniacs to an extent. Tom Cruise comes to mind, oddly...

[arwalden]

15. Chris Melloni and Patrick Stewart

just because.

[thermodynamic]

18. Ever see "Jeffrey"?

Patrick Stewart hams it up in that little movie... So much so that I think he's more anti-gay than really-gay. I mean, he was waaaaaay over the top in some scenes. But I will admit he certainly ENJOYED playing the role, that's indisputable.

Of course, maybe he's always wanted to act like that - I can't exactly blame him, I go around saying things like "oh animal crackers" instead of actually swearing, so that's my dead giveaway...

[arwalden]

40. He was definitely over-the-top...

I love that movie.

[SPICYHOT]

24. Tom Cruise!

and Jud Lowe

[arwalden]

26. Bart Braverman and Anson Williams...

just because I always thought they were adorable. Too adorable NOT to be at LEAST bisexual.

Ooops. Am I projecting?

-- Allen

[Dulcinea]

27. Ton Cruise (yawn) & Keanu Reeves.

mw

[rbnyc]

38. Keanu Reeves is a bad tipper, so he can't be gay. (nt)

[arwalden]

28. Definitely... KEVIN SPACEY (Picture Inside)

[Maccagirl]

29. Has David Hyde Pierce come "out" yet?

n/t

[TNDemo]

30. Tom Selleck.

Know someone who swears he went to gay parties with him in Denver back when.

[BurtWorm]

31. Van Damme

Jean-Claude or whatever his name is. I read a little blind item in Movieline a few years ago about "which big time action movie star is a closet queen" and my mind kept settling on him for some reason.

[mitchum]

32. Jack Cassidy (dad of David and Shaun)...

a very cruel man who used to make the crippled Cole Porter crawl across the floor in order to sample Jack's wares. Cassidy later burned to death in a fire. Hmmm....

[corarose]

33. Joel Gray

Jennifer Gray's dad.

[BurtWorm]

35. Jim Nabors?

Is it my imagination or did I really hear that he and Rock Hudson used to be an item?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

42. The pair I have trouble believing is

Sir Laurence Olivier and Danny Kaye, although their relationship is supposed to have lasted for several years.

It's not that I have trouble believing that either of them was gay--I just have trouble picturing them as a couple.

Oh, and then there's Raymond Burr. He always claimed to be a widower, but no one could find a record of any marriages, and then after he died, it was revealed that he'd been in a relationship with another man for decades.

[Sirius_on]

63. I believe he came out about it

I am almost 100% sure that Jim came out about being gay.

[ForrestGump]

67. Jim Nabors made a clumsy pass at Elvis, in the '70s

It wasn't particularly welcome.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

[arwalden]

41. Wesley Snipes

for obvious reasons.

[roguevalley]

43. Snicker. This thread might be two miles long if you talked bisexual.

I would first like to apologize to God for participating in this
but I am a shameless person so here goes:

Robert Vaughn: Married for many, many years. Lovely man.
Joel Gray: fathered a child so maybe bi if he swings.

Tom Selleck: Married for many years and still is, father.

Patrick Stewart: Married, divorced, remarried.

Van Damme: Someone I know did him. Ladies man. Likes belgium waffles
the morning after. :) Cook Belgium food, he's yours. :)

Don Knotts: Married multiple times, loves the ladies, father, still
married. I adore him.

Vincent Price: Married a million years happily.

Jack Cassidy: Married more than once, father.

Chris Melloni: Married, father. Loves to do edgy stuff. rocks as
Keller on Oz. MAJOR gay icon. drool.

Sir Larry and Danny Kay: Long story. Very true. Danny Kay was an open gay secret for millions of years.

Arnold Schwartzennegger was said to be kept by old gay men in his earlier get to the top years. Lots of nude piccies and such floating about. What a great possibility for Governor of my state. SIGH!

Get this. Randolph Scott and Gary Cooper lived together for YEARS before they got married. Open secret in Gollywood.

Word is some of the cast of Lord of the Rings swings both ways, not just Ian McKellan but since they aren't out, I won't say which ones.
But Sean Bean it ain't. Been married three times. Gotta love a guy
who tries. :)

RV, who will burn in hell

[Lydia Leftcoast]

57. But we can't rule people out just because they're married

Sir Lawrence Olivier was married to both Vivien Leigh and Joan Plowright, and maybe someone else in between.

Danny Kaye was married and had a daughter.

This just goes to show that, as Fats Waller says in Stormy Weather, "One never does know, do one?"

[roguevalley]

44. Whoopsie! Gary Cooper and Randolph Scott

Married but not each other. But there are great pictures of them
in pre-speedos standing at the pool of their house in a lot of
Hollywood books. :)

[JCMach1]

45. Jude Law--

and Orlando Bloom...

If not, they are in denial about it...

[roguevalley]

47. it ain't orlando.

unless he's bi. :)

Of course, everyone in my house including all five of my dogs
stands ready to do him. Hypothesis put to the test you know. ;)

[Ein]

52. Gary Glitter?

Hell if I know... maybe... Sandra Bernhardt? NAH!!! Madonna? Hmmmm.

My not so sure guess is Pee Wee Herman... err...

Hugh Grant! Thats the ticket, transvestite hooker or whatever?

[Algorem]

53. Don Rickles and Charles Bronson

have been secretly married for 52 years.

[BurtWorm]

56. Now there's an adorable couple.

[corarose]

54. Raygun was friends with Rock Hudson

He went to Rocks pool parties and they were all boy pool parties.

This is not a joke!

[corarose]

55. Bush Sr.

Remember when the scandal about the young boy prostitutes and Bush came out back in the late 80's and the right wing pressed hushed it up.

[Dulcinea]

58. I doubt Bush Sr., but...

George P. Bush (his grandson) could very well be.

[Kamika]

59. billy chrystall

doesnt he look abit gay

[GumboYaYa]

61. George Clooney...

My wife and I were watching an interview with him a few years ago and both thought he was hiding his sexuality.

[ScreamingMeemie]

62. John Travolta...

Ever since Welcome Back Kotter.

[Sirius_on]

64. Leonardo DiCaprio

I saw him running around the beach once and he had "The walk". I am not gay so my gaydar isnt that tuned in, but it sure went off when I saw that.

[cosmicdot]

65. dead or alive? Rock Hudson; Montgomery Cliff

yes or no?

[davsand]

68. There used to be a guy at Salon who did books about this.

I wish I could remember his name... He had written at least one or two books about who was gay in Hollywood.

He was convinced I'm homophobic because I disagreed with him about outing people. My feeling is that it ain't nobody's business, and it ain't up to you to tell. His view is that everyone should be outed because not to implies there is something wrong with being gay...

We finally agreed to disagree.

He outed DiCaprio and a few others that I have since forgotten.
