Hank Azaria

Wasn''t he out and proud long before Neil Patrick Harris or even Sir Ian McKellen? Isn''t Hank the real gay pioneer in the entertainment world?

• OP = Helen Hunt

• Um, he''s not out, OP.%0D\ %0D\ I''m not even 100% convinced he''s gay at all. %0D\ %0D\ (Plus only about 25 people know or care who he is.)

• How "out and proud" could he possibly be if he was married to Helen Hunt?

• R2, millions of people have seen The Birdcage, and I think they all know who he is.

• He has a nice built body which he loves to show off in nude scenes or skimpy costumes. Doesn''t mean he''s gay, however.

• [quote]millions of people have seen The Birdcage, and I think they all know who he is.\ \ Most of those people don''t even know who Nathan Lane is, much less the Mexican guy who played the maid.

• Would lick his shitter.

• You''re an idiot, R6. Azaria is a Greek Sephardic Jew.

• R6 is an idiot in more ways than one.

  One of the little estrogen Rockettes

• You should''ve added a smiley face for the mentally deficient, r6.

• My best friend for the last 14 years knew Hank Azaria and Helen Hunt. He has seen Helen in bed with her girlfriend and knows Hank is gay. I have posted this on many occasions. If I told you how he knew both of them you would believe him as I do.

• You''re the Idiot, r8... to most people who saw the movie Hank Azaria is just "the Mexican guy who played the maid."

• And the guy who walked the dog in Mad About You

• There is a spread in one of the decorating magazines of the house he shares with his wife. Doesn''t mean he isn''t gay but I don''t know why he would go to all that trouble.

• Both he and Helen Hunt are cowardly gay closet-dwellers.%0D\ %0D\ Disgusting.

• Was in an LTR with Matthew Perry for years before he bearded with Miz Hunt. And the marriage "failed" because Hank''s sperm couldn''t give Helen a child.

  Lisa Kudrow (I know it all and I was there)

• I think John Cusack would know. Like r11,I posted several years ago that HUFF was a vanity project for Azaria that Cusack was behind. The entire cast of HUFF reads like a "Six Degrees Of Separation", but with Cusack instead of Kevin Bacon. Just look at the credits-from the producers to the actors-they have all worked or been associated with Cusack before. The same with the canceled FX series DIRT with Courtney Cox. That show was produced by Helen Hunt''s curent husband who,like r11 noted,was once married to Azaria. Check the credits on that one as well. You guys really missed the boat on this one.

  Talk about hiding in plain sight...

• Wait...Helen Hunt''s current husband was once married to Hank Azaria?!?

• I''m completely lost.%0D\ %0D\ Are you saying Cusack is also gay?

  It''s been a long week

• Full hank-

• I think many people, gay and straight, know who in the hell Hank Azaria is by now. He''s a talented actor who can look and sound different so it wasn''t always easy to spot him or know who he was in different projects at first.\ \ They may not have realized it in The Birdcage, but many did in the Simpsons and his guest appearances on talk shows and other shows. He did play Phoebe''s scientist love interest on Friends who had to go to Minsk. Is someone saying Azaria and Matthew Perry hooked up or were bfs or something? If so, what and when was this rumor?\ \ And well Helen Hunt was on Friends too on an episode although many actors were --

• Sorry about that,r17! I meant to say that Helen Hunt''s current husband produced DIRT and that Azaria was married to Hunt first!

• I personally know a chorus member in "Spamalot" who was fucking him regularly during the run.\ \ And it was a female chorus member.

• The only place I ever read about him being gay is here. I have detected a hint of gayness watching him interviewd. A bit OT but I remember watching him interviewed on a show called Celebrity Liars with Matthew Perry and it was amazing how much better he looked than Perry and he is almost 4 years older.

• I was obsessed with The Simpsons as a middle-schooler and I barely even know who he is.

• R24 I have *never* detected a hint of gayness watching him interviewed.

• seriously R25 learn the meaning of the word Obsessed

• Jeez, I meant r18! One Long Day for me....

  r22

• he has a wife and kid(s), but yeah, i''d be really shocked if he were actually heterosexual.

• I first heard HH is a lesbian from someone who worked on "Dr. T and the women." Then HH got married. I guess she is bi.

• I have no clue about his sexuality but HH is definitely a lesbian.

• right, r30. just like marcia cross is bi.%0D\ %0D

• Bi? Hunt and Cross are both lesbians, R32.

• This is really hilarious - he''s gay and so is Helen. I know very, very well...

• Well, Miss R34, can you tell us who are they seeing on the side?

• Most of the people R6/12 knows are stupid bigots.

• Azaria and his wife''s "fabulous house was in Architectural Digest. It''s all very standard issue California millionaire and Azaria''s poker and closet/dressing room (insert joke here) are "masculine" without being overdone. As is his son''s playroom. Very made to order, picture perfect, and not quite the Disneyesque extravaganza that is Will and Jada''s Calabasas palace. (But then, even Simpson''s voice-over cash doesn''t equal Willy & Chilly''s Big Bucks).

• He was also the main villian in the "Night at the Museum" sequal... whatever that was called. MILLIONS saw that as well.%0D\ %0D\ He''s been in a LOT of popular movies and comedies, never mind The Simpsons for, like, 84 years now.%0D\ %0D

• OP = troll\ \ THREAD DELETED!

• I saw his house on the AD website and I thought it was odd there was no photo of the wife anywhere.%0D\ %0D\ It made me believe the beard rumors.

• and don''t forget, Lisa Kudrow was on Mad About You for a few years playing Ursula, the waitress at Paul and Jamie''s favorite restaurant. When Friends came around a few years later, they wrote it in that Phoebe was Ursula''s twin sister. As for Hank, who cares? He''s ugly and his new show seems WRETCHED.

• Hank''s very private. Republican, pussyhound.

• r33. Did you not see who I was addressing?%0D\ %0D

  r32

• "Oh, why can''t I find Amanda Hugenkiss?"

  Moe the bartender

• No, the information I have is ten years old. I don''t know anything about them these days.

• R37, who is Simpson, and where does he/she get their voiceover cash?

• [R46], Hank Azaria is on of the voices on The Simpsons. \ \ Married or no, these rumors have been around for eons. He and Hunt were each other''s beards.

  Not Paul Reiser

• I knew Hank before "Birdcage" when he played a gorgeous hunk on a show called "Herman''s Head" with the gorgeous William Ragsdale.

• Back in 1997 or 98, when i was a college student, I went to a music store at midnight for the release of a Sarah McLachlan CD. Helen Hunt, Hank Azaria, and Matthew Perry were also there. At the time, it struck me as odd to see the three of them together... and let me just say that Matthew Perry seemed VERY happy with his new Sarah McLachlan CD.

• And, R48? What do you say, gay or not?

• Apparently he flips out if you pronounce his name like "diarhhea"

• Are you all SURE he''s not out and proud? I thought I read it here like 15 years ago.

• R52 --\ \ If you read here he was gay -- that should have been your first clue he wasn''t.

• I remember he was asked in an interview what he would do if he was transformed into a woman for a day. He answered that he would masturbate in front of a mirror.

• Whatever he is, he hasn''t aged well. He looks horrible in the promos for his Fall Show and the show itself looks terrible.

• Wasn''t he on Tracy Ullman''s original show? (The one where the Simpson''s were a 30 second cartoon break?)

• I've been watching Free Agents and found myself crushing on him. Is he cute or is it just me? He seems like a big dork.

  female%20in%20early%2020s

• Free Agents is not great, but is not the disaster the reviews say it is. (The ratings are another story.) Hank still looks pretty hot to me.

• Re: his nude pic. His ass seems so flat in that.

• yur all stupi..

• r60, we didn't bump a stupid dead thread.

• It's amusing that there are multiple posters in this thread claiming to have first-hand knowledge that Azaria is totally straight and other posters claiming first hand that he is 100% gay. I always assumed he was gay - marrying a lesbian tends to be a tipoff - but didn't realize he married a different woman after HH and has kids now (not that that means he's straight). Just given the responses in this thread it kind of sounds like he's bisexual. My question is - what's all this about Matthew Perry being gay?! It appears to be universal knowledge on this board that David Schwimmer is gay and Matt LeBlanc is gay (& poz, poor bastard) but Matthew Perry is barely discussed, even though he's [arguably] the most attractive of the lot and certainly has had the most successful career post-Friends.

• And, R62, actually, Matthew Perry shows the most evidence of being gay.

• He was Herman on Herman's Head.

• Perry is ugly so no one cares about him. He's got moobs for christ sake
