Rick Cosnett (Eddie Thawne on The Flash)

And I guess he hangs out with Colton Haynes... whatever that might mean.

He and Grant Gustin would make a cute couple though.

He's from originally from Zimbabwe but also lived in Australia and The U.S. and considers himself Zimbabwean, Australian and American.

So does that mean he's African American?

Just asking for a friend....

Nice!

Grant sure acts like he wants to be gay around handsome men.

I find him delectable.

He doesnt "hang out" with colton. Some of the Arrow/Flash cast did a couple of conventions in europe together. Thats where these pics of them together are from.

R7 I automatically look at Colton.

He's gay though, right?

Damn it! Wrong link for r10. Although same song plays over it.

Yum His voice is super sexy

Hanging with the bros.

He's a homosexualist. Not in the closet either.

That r13 pic is 5 good-looking gay guys, right?

I watched The Flash this past season. Rick has gay-voice. I assume he is gay.

R15, it's taken on Fire Island. Does that answer your question?

So which lucky bastard gets to fuck him?

Thanks R13/R17. I always assumed he must be gay from watching the "The Flash" but it is nice to see that is pretty much certainly true.

He supposedly has a girlfriend.

If there is a girlfriend, he definitely doesn't highlight her anywhere on his social media pages.

Rick was just cast playing an openly gay character in a new drama. I suppose this means a lot of DL'ers will assume he has to be gay now.

Is his character still on The Flash? Will he be doing 2 series at the same time?

His charater was killed off on the Flash.

R22, DL assumed he was gay long before this casting news! lol

He does appear to have a girlfriend. It's obvious by looking at his Instagram.

I haven't checked his account in a while but he usually posts pictures with his sister Michelle.

r27 is right and r26 is mistaken at least with saying there is an obvious gf on Instagram. The person that appears most often on his IG is his trainer Drew Logan - lots of pics of them together for a few years now.

There aren't a lot of females, but the one that shows up regularly is him with his sister Michelle Alexandra. R26 might be thinking that his sister is actually a girlfriend.

Yes, you're right, R28. I was talking about that Michelle girl. I didn't know she was his sister, sorry.

So he seems gay, there is no girlfriend, and he hangs out with guys on Fire Island? I mean, dude is clearly gay. There doesn't seem to be any reason to think otherwise.

Maybe with the press for his gay character in this new Quantico show (r22s link) he'll make some sort of statement about how he's always been out but just hadn't spoken to the media about it.

Rick and Josh Hopkins together! If that trailer's a-rockin'....

Beefcake.

Rick looks great in drag...

He really does look good in drag. Damn. He'd make a lovely woman.

Is Eddie Murphy being coy, or did he just forget to sign his post at r35?

He looks pretty damn good in just a Speedo too.

Finally a shirtless shot - thank you R37.!

I hope Rick shares scenes with Jake McLaughlin on Quantico.

.....

This is going to suck, sorry kids. "Incredibly funny." They're going to make him "incredibly funny." Thanks for the heads-up.

Too much smegma.

More Rick on the beach.

I know I want him in the bedroom but now I want him on the dancefloor.

He likes wearing speedos on the beach, is happy to do drag and likes making a fool of himself on the dance floor. Seems like a fun guy, probably would be a fun lay.

Setting aside the poor grammar, this comment that someone made on Cosnett's recent Instagram pic makes me chuckle.

[quote] martybal: That's not his Sister!! Just a friend!! Come on, he dates Men, so it wouldn't be anything else's.

He is SO beautiful!!!!

And that gravelly voice... !!!!!!

an entire island made of fire? how masculine!!!

Candice Patton gives off strong femmedyke vibes on her social media, too. Is anyone on that show straight? Anyone at all?

Grant Gustin is straight. It's DL so people assume everyone is gay, but honestly there has never been any evidence to support that he's gay.

I actually do think Grant Gustin is straight, too. Just a musical theater straight guy. Those do exist (and they get laid a lot, being such a scarce resource and all). I think Tom Cavanagh is straight, too. But I'm honestly iffy on the entire West family.

Rick in Ferrvor Mag.

he makes my pants tight

So is the consensus now he is gay? I mean I remember finding it hard to find shirtless pics of him out there on the internet, and all of sudden this summer we get shirtless pics, pics and videos of him prancing about on the beach in a green speedo and just having fun. I can't think of too many straight actors who wear neon green speedos out in public. All said and done the hunk has nothing to be ashamed of w/ that body.

r54 green speedo o rly?

it would just like 5 seconds for them speedos to be on the floor of my bedroom

Cosnett pings hard but let's not forget he grew up in Africa and moved to Australia as a teen and lived there for almost 10 years. Speedos probably aren't as big deal for him as for your average het American man. When I saw him in The Flash I immediately thought he's gay but when I found out he's a white African I could totally see that in the way he moved and talked. I'm not saying he's not gay (I mean I'd love to go balls deep in him) but his mannerisms might come mostly from his background.

Or it really is his natural femmeness coming through. We'll probably find out at some point.

We'll know soon enough. When he plays gay in Quantico, it's usually pretty clear: a gay man playing a gay man gives off a whole different vibe than a straight man playing a gay man. There are subtle differences that make it clear it's the actor not the character who's gay...

Rick and his Quantico cast members Brian J. Smith, Graham Rogers, Priyanka Chopra, Yasmine Massri and Johanna Braddy.

Wait.. Brian J Smith.. THE Brian J Smith from Sense8 who is rumored to be gay? So not only do we get gay characters on this show, we'll get (possibly) gay actors too? That's awesome :)

Brian J. Smith also had a fling with Zach Quinto when they did GLASS MENAGERIE together on Broadway; it was the fling that broke up Quinto and Jon Groff...

Interesting gossip R61

Bump for Qunatico premiering on Sunday.

I haven't seen the show yet, but according to his Twitter posts, Cosnett wasn't even in the first episode. He says his character shows up in Episode 2.

For anyone who watched though, Is Quantico worth checking out?

[quote]Is Quantico worth checking out?

R64, depends. Personally I was disappointed. It's got its own thread but be prepared for major spoilers pretty much from the get-go.

The two hottest guys got killed off in the first episode. Pass, baby, pass.

Has he come out yet?

Has he had gay sex on QUANTICO yet? The "gay" recruit he flirts with isn't really gay (in life or on the show), so if there's no sex why bother watching?

So his character on Quantico is dead, right? No coming back to that show?

What about The Flash? Is he back there?

Since he was killed off on The Flash too, that seems highly unlikely R69.

What a douche.

Why are they all douches, every time?

Shallow, dull stooges.

The show was practically daytime-soap with a big budget. I won't bother with season 2 especially if Rick is no longer around.

Christ! he was prancing and mincing on the latest episode of Quantico. He plays gay convincingly too well. Hope he appears again on the Flash again. He's pretty too look at.

I wish he had posted more pics from this holiday visit to an Aussie beach.

What's he doing these days?

He looks more like Barry "The Flash" Allen than Grant ever will.

Hollywood still doesn't seem to want to hire someone with gay/bi rumors as a lead on a super hero show.

Apparently his character will be back on the March 29th episode of The Flash.

R76 He might look like comics Barry but Grant is a way better actor that he'll ever be and I'm glad that he's the one who plays the Flash on the tv show at least (Ezra Miller is in the movies). If Rick was Barry Allen on the show, I wouldn't watch it cuz no matter how hot he is, he can't act, especially on emotional scenes where Grant slays there, Rick wouldn't even. Anyway, he'll be back as Eddie on next week's episode of The Flash.

Rick added a couple of beach shots to his Instagram last week.

Guess who's coming back to The Flash!

Meh.

It'll probably be another one shot unmemorable return. If he doesn't get to stick around to develop his relationships with the leads, what's the point of returning?

Please let him be gay.

I wonder what his type would be.

[quote]Please let him be gay.

....obviously he is gay.

What is up with all of these gym fucking pics? So ridiculous. Another thing I blame gays for, besides Mark Wahlberg and Justin Bieber.

R85: Was Cosnett fucking the gym in the gym fucking pics? Or was he fucking someone else in the gym?

He looks kinda gay to me too

He hasn't come out yet?! He's obviously gay.

Nice legs

Will he ever come out? He's obviously gay.

Cute. Clearly gay.

Who is his boyfriend? Why is there so little gossip about him? He's obviously gay.

Yeah, who gets this???

Very handsome guy - it's a bit odd that he looks so much like the guy from Arrow Stephen Amell since the two shows are related.

So cute.

So not publicly out.

Reminds me of Stephen Amell.

Based on his post I can't tell if Rick also bought out a full showing of Love Simon, of if he's just promoting that Berlanti and Robbie Rogers did it.

R97 I think he's just supporting Berlanti. It's a regram. I still think he's gay though, lol. I don't know why he won't come out when it's so obvious. Maybe he has some issues. He's African after all, we all know about the deep rooted homophobia there.

He posted a pic on his twitter and he was wearing pink nail polish.

He’s so cute but totally gay.

r98 he's an actor trying to work in Hollywood, which still says out actors will be a at a disadvantage. He doesn't need any more issues.

Receipts were posted in the “Actors Who Out...IG Habits” thread, or maybe the “Who will come out in 2018” thread of him cozied up the some guy in P-town during the fourth.

R101 I’ve had a quick look in both those threads and didn’t see it. Any other topics it could have been posted in?

Here it is. I still had the screenshot. The IG story series made it clearer that they were in P-town. But I think Prior is out at any rate, since he follows Best of Grindr.

Thanks, much appreciated. Such a babe.

Shirtless and in speedos. What a guy.

bump

2019 and still in the closet. Sad.

I could never understand why RIck wasn't cast as The Flash. He was/is so much more interesting to look at.

IRL, Rick is a cousin of Hugh Grant. So much handsome in one family.

Rick was too old for the character.
