Christopher Reeve

He cruised me in a bathroom @ Williamstown once. Does that count?

You turned that down, R1? Please say NOT

What a beautiful looking guy

Very beautiful

With Michael Caine.

There's a newscaster who works for the CBS-TV affiliate in Chicago who looks EXACTLY like Reeve. I'm lucky enough to be casual friends with him (but sorry, dolls - he's SUPER straight.)

Name's Mike Puccinelli. Also, sorry I can't post a photo or a link, but I'm an eldergay, what can you do?

R6, oh honey..your pal Mike is no Reeve!!

He broke his neck when his horse fell. I wonder why he didn't get more interesting roles, maybe he should have never done Superman?

You mean SUPERFOOL? Did you see that stiff Jacks on ,horse. Only MDinnately looked more foolish.

To ride and ride well you need to possess empathy. If not, that equine won't think twice about sacraficin you.

I'm from another place in North America and while Hollywood Jews flipped over this meh guy, his destiny was secure. He was a dumb fool.

The one I feel for us his wife who died of lung cancer without ever smoking cigs. Now her story was tragic, not this dull eyed above average farmhand she called a husband.

Did you see that stiff jackass on a jumping horse? Jerk. Roll the tape.

Newsflash: riding, like Madonna will tell you now (another pretentious idiot thinking you can pull off growing up on the manor)..

Jeez, it's about becoming one with an animal. Becoming THEIR appendage. You coax on dressage but never, ever try to override your horse's wisdom!

I never laughed to hard by seeing him on a horse 2nd time, aspie neighborhood kid, left handed gauche tried to be an equestrian and Madonna clueless on a horse in Manhattan. So disconnected to the animal friend Horses and other people can get killed.. but the aspie, narcissist, psychopath manages to survive and waste of oxygen

Can someone translate R9's first sentence?

Stiff jackass and Madonna of Deeee-troit

Before and during his time on Love of Life he slept mostly with men. I don't know if his marriage to Dana Reeve was one of love or arrangement.

I actually went home with him. Instead of having sex, we talked all night. He had a very strained relationship with his father. Personally, I don't think he was gay, I think he really did have daddy issues.

Yeah, loom at th ed pics iN this post alone

Pingy pig just like gay HW producer/studio heads like theM

Reeve was a com gutter slurping whore who took old people's money back in the 90s w/his self induced sob story

GRIFTER

R17 was this when Robin Williams was his roomie? Or did he have his own place? What was it like? Did you consider trying to persuade him? I wouldn't have been able to keep my fucking paws off of him!

It would have been between Somewhere in Time and Deathtrap. He was staying in a hotel. There was some pawing involved ;)

Had a wonderful encounter with him with my family when was I younger. It was right after "Superman" was a huge success. He was in previews in a new Broadway play "Fifth Of July". I had just bought the windowcard (poster) of the show. We were waiting for him at the stage door, just us. Up he walks and takes one look at the window card I'm holding and he becomes a little kid. "Oh my God, where did you get that?!" It was his first Broadway starring role and his first windowcard, hadn't seen one yet and he was thrilled. I tried to explain where I bought it, a few blocks away but he insisted we show him, so off we go chatting up 8th Ave from 43rd St to 45th ST to a poster shop called Triton. We had to go right back because he was going to work and I don't know if he ever went back and got one, but it was cool experience. He was charming, funny and my Mom was forever smitten. I still have the framed poster hanging.

I always thought he was hot so imagine my disappointment when my driver in London who was CR's driver when he was in town told me CR was an insufferable snob/cunt.

I have never seen any reason to trust a horse. They know that they actually hold the cards.

Robbin Williams seemed to love him, so I thought maybe he was a good guy.

Reported to have had a relationship of the homo sex variety with Cal Culver/Casey Donovan. Lucky him.

Couldn't disagree more, Snowflake At R7. That photo doesn't do Mikey justice.

So he was a rider come lately? I thought he grew up around horsey types.

Too bad.

He was a big guy, and wen he was thrown, all that body weight landed on his neck.

A male escort and winner of Howard Stern's BIG PENIS CONTEST, told Stern that he once serviced Christopher Reeve.

He sucked a mean cock.

Eldergay has been nipping.

We're not discussing Steve Reeve,r29.

[quote]I wonder why he didn't get more interesting roles, maybe he should have never done Superman?

Because he was a pretty boy with no acting talent.

"Deathtrap" recently on TCM. CR is gorgeous. However the "kiss" between CR and Michael Caine is hardly that. Reeve puts his lips over Caine's upper lip. No contact at all

With those looks, it's not as if he would ever have been offered interesting roles.

R16

I'm sure he dabbled some with men but I'm certain his marriage was a love match not an arraignment.

There's no way a person would stay after such a devastating injury if they didn't love the spouse.

I remembering reading The National Enquirer and it had pictures of his girlfriend who had children by but wasn't married to. It was really a "scandal" back then to have children but not be married.

Met him once, at a matinee of "As Is," in which a friend from the cast of his production of "Fifth of July" was appearing. The matinee was for mostly subscription members of Circle Rep in Sheridan Square. Reeve and I were about the youngest people there. I complimented him on his performance in "Somewhere in Time, " which had flopped theatrically, but became a cult hit when shown on HBO. He was gracious and friendly. I had heard that he had been "seen" occasionally in various gay bars on the Upper West Side, and he did seem to ping, but there was no cruising on his part. We conversed again after the play, then went our separate ways. I checked out the bar Ty's, where I casually knew one of the bartenders, Doric Wilson, a playwright in his own right. On my way back to Sheridan Square, I saw Reeve again. We talked a bit, then again went our separate ways. Curiously, as I watched him go, he turned around and looked back at me. But not for long.

Wistful moment.

I always thought a lot of his career choices were canny. He did a lot of theatre up at Williamstown, and elsewhere. I'd have loved to see a London revival of a play based on Henry James' story, "The Aspern Papers," which Reeve did with Wendy Hiller and Vanessa Redgrave. That would have been something. He had courage, to appear with those two powerhouses.

[quote]The matinee was for mostly subscription members of Circle Rep in Sheridan Square.

I miss the Greenwich Village of those days. And how great New York was in general back then.

Why did they choose Michael Caine for the Deathtrap movie? There are several other men they could have chosen. Robert Reed was a Broadway replacement for the role. Was he considered too television to be in a major motion picture?

After Reeve's insurance and money ran out Robin Williams supposedly paid for Reeve's medical & home care.

Wooden actor.

I worked with Chris Reeve in the early 80s. I didn't know him well but really can't imagine any kind of gay rumors being true based on what I saw. He was a kind and thoughtful young man back then, overwhelmed by his own fame and very aware of his limitations as an actor but very eager to learn and improve. Very sad how it all ended.

R28 I remember that like it was yesterday. I think he was telling the truth too. He was like a complete freak of nature, and knowing how jaded celebs are, always seeking something they haven't had or done, it seemed reasonable to me that CR might have wanted a go at that 15" dong. Not necessarily for actual anal insertion, if that's even possible, but just the novelty of some oral and dick worship play.

I miss the old E!Stern show so much.

I thought that attending Julliard would purge the lisp out of him.

He was into scat.

Oh my, so many meanies on this thread. Did he ever do anything bad to anyone?

[quote]Did he ever do anything bad to anyone?

Good question.

[quote]Why did they choose Michael Caine for the Deathtrap movie?

I'm thinking maybe one reason Caine got the role is that they had trouble finding an American actor who would do the male-male kiss on screen, which is VERY different from doing it on stage. I can't imagine Robert Reed or Farley Granger, or even Stacy Keach or John Cullum, being willing to do that in those days.

Obviously, Chris Reeve was willing to do it, but I've always thought that was exceptionally brave of him. I'll never forget seeing the movie in a theater in a small town. When the guys kissed, there was pandemonium and palpable disgust n the audience, so much so that it scared me.

He was very good looking. But his son Matthew is a fug version.

The shock of the kiss in DEATHTRAP comes not only from the homophobia but also from the knowledge that those two characters are in collusion.

[quote] a love match not an arraignment.

What was he arrested for?

[quote]The shock of the kiss in DEATHTRAP comes not only from the homophobia but also from the knowledge that those two characters are in collusion.

I understand that certainly contributes to it -- but if the Reeve character had been a female, I really don't think the audience I was part of when I saw the film would have groaned and shouted and screamed "NOOOOO, that's disgusting!!!"

The pale whiteness of his bare muscular skin was incredibly sexy.

I used to usher at a theatre when I was in college. Reeve came in once and we chatted a bit. He talked about how he ushered when he was a student. Such a nice guy.

Jonathon Groff reminds me of him.

CR and MC had to get drunk to film the kiss

Reeve's younger son Will, with Dana, is more handsome.

I was a brand new RN working the ER in LA in 1983 and a young guy (18-19) came in claiming he'd been raped by Cristopher Reeve. Something had happened to the guy, he'd obviously been raped and beat up but the cops didn't want to deal with him and acted like they didn't believe men could get raped. I've always hoped that the guy was confused, or the guy who raped him looked enough like Reeve that he was believed. Probably about 15 years ago someone posted here that Reeve had raped a woman they knew.

I used to wait on him when I worked at Ernie's on 76th and Broadway in the 1980s. He'd come in with his two kids with Gay Exton. The children were elementary school-aged, and they were all charming and sweet. Chris was very friendly and polite and his kids were so in love with their dad. How sadly it all ended.

Just catching up on this thread. Loved R21's very sweet story.

I worked in a STD clinic in NY in the early eighties. A patient came in with syphilis and said he must have caught it from CR.

He was lovely and super straight.

She was a total homosexual.

Did she euthanize herself finally?

So, do you think these are all right-wing assholes doing their best imitation of a DL bitch? It all seems kind of curdled and off and rather weird, even for DL. I remember back in the day a major local newspaper (the San Diego Union-Tribune) was roundly criticized for shlepping news of Reeve's death to a back page. The Union-Trib was and is a conservative rag that was posthumously punishing Reeve for his support of stem cell research. I would have thought after all this time the sentiment would have died down. But I guess the mindfucks of ridiculous Freeper-types are forever...

His son Mathew got dem crazy Tom Cruise eyes.

Is he the new Julie?

I saw him in the Back Bay while he was shooting a movie. Very tall and very beautiful. Can you guess the movie?

R41 Why should people make all that up? Even here in this small thread there were a couple of first-hand stories and this guy from the Howard Stern show, why should he make that up? If he wasn't gay, he might have been bi. And I don't see 'issues with his dad' as an explanation for 'gay sex but being straight', and he didn't seem to be attracted to older men or not that much.

Soooooo handsome. And that body was STACKED. He seemed kind of prudish to me. He should have gotten naked and done edgier roles. I think that might have helped.

'I think that might have helped.'

Helped what, exactly? His quadriplegia?

He was too good to be true. Seems he had a hidden dark side.

When he was on Love of Life, he pinged mightily.

R9, R10 and R11 are all the same psycho. Maybe he forgot to take his meds or maybe he's just crazy all the time. Anyway, he's an insufferable douchebag and no doubt everybody who knows him hates him.

Anyone who wants to know about Reeves should read his memoir "Still Me." It was written after his terrible accident and it's very moving and well-written.

I know it must be disappointing for some people, but he was straight and by all accounts a good guy.

Years ago, I knew a masseur (male) in NYC who said he had Reeve as a regular client, and he told me there was some level of sexual activity during their sessions.

"Years ago, I knew a masseur (male) in NYC who said he had Reeve as a regular client, and he told me there was some level of sexual activity during their sessions."

I don't believe this male "masseur." I think he just wants people to believe that Christopher Reeve would want to have sex with him. Such bullshit.

R23, like humans and other animals, horses can be dicks. Zebras are the biggest dicks, that's why we don't ride them.

But horses are keen and can distinguish between normal people and psychopaths. If you're truly a good soul, a horse, even a dicky one will know. Go light on you.

If you find yourself outside an empty paddock, picture pink, just pink. Close your eyes. FOCUS. Then open them..there will be a kindred soul horse right there to greet you. Bring snacks and offer them with an open palm

R72, your lower class up bringing is showing

Funny story, he's dead.

[quote]I don't believe this male "masseur." I think he just wants people to believe that Christopher Reeve would want to have sex with him. Such bullshit.

Why are you so sure it's "bullshit?" It's possible that the masseur who told me the story was just making it up, but he seemed sincere. Also, it just came up in conversation, and the fact that Reeve was the celebrity he happened to mention made it seem like the truth. I mean, he could have picked any hot guy to tell the story about, but he said it was Reeve. And P.S., the masseur did not say that Reeve "had sex with him." He said there was some sexual activity involved in the massage, which is not necessarily the same thing. (Figure it out, if you can.)

Bump So maybe he's pan sexual. I don't want to believe he raped anyone

You got to love celeb heterosexual defenders. Someone states what they heard about a celeb sexuality and there are those ready to shut down the messenger.

Fun with the ignore feature:

1) Hit ignore on R9. Don't be alarmed when R10-R12 also disappear.

2) Go to your ignore list. Scroll down to your latest ignored poster, AKA R9-R12, et al. from this thread.

3) Bask in the unhinged crazy. It's quite mesmerizing when distilled into one string of uninterrupted mental illness.

4) Remind yourself that this thread is about that handsome guy who played Superman 30+ years ago and then became paralyzed from a riding accent and eventually died a while back, and not some wildly controversial or inflammatory subject.

5) Thank your own lucky stars for whatever keeps you from winding up like R9 or Christopher Reeve.

I've thought about doing that before, R84, but if too many other posters start responding to the ignored party (and not quoting him/her in their responses), doesn't a thread become an incoherent mess and difficult to follow?

[quote] Can someone translate [R9]'s first sentence?

It means "Please put me on ignore."

[quote]your lower class up bringing is showing

Kind of like your poor grasp of English?

Difficult to follow, R85? We're talking about the rantings of a lunatic. The thread is actually more coherent without that distracting nutjob.

"And P.S., the masseur did not say that Reeve "had sex with him." He said there was some sexual activity involved in the massage, which is not necessarily the same thing. (Figure it out, if you can.)"

Sex is sex, hon. I assume this "masseur" was implying that he gave Reeve a happy ending or maybe sucked him off after a "massage session." So indeed Reeve had sex with him, if you believe him. I don't. You must be VERY naïve, if you automatically believe anything you hear. And by the way, your friend sounds like a male whore than a "masseur."

[quote] He was into scat.

That explains [italic]Superman IV[/italic].

"Why should people make all that up? Even here in this small thread there were a couple of first-hand stories and this guy from the Howard Stern show, why should he make that up? "

Are you fucking kidding? Why should people make all that up? Because people are SHITS, that's why. It's fun to spread lies and sleazy stories about a celebrity who's dead and can't defend himself. And profitable, too. Salacious, unsubstantiated tales sell books; just ask Scotty Bowers. You believe a guy on Howard Stern? You believe "first-hand" stories on DATALOUNGE? Boy, you'll believe anything!

I know a lot of people here are saying he couldn't act, but I always thought the way he played Clark Kent and Superman was genius. He actually made you believe they were two separate people. He's the only actor who played the role who did that. George Reeves was great, but his Superman and Clark were exactly the same. The same thing with Cavill. Routh tried to imitate Reeve, and he was okay, but not great. Perhaps Christopher wasn't great in other roles, but his Superman/Clark was magical. Without him in the part, the movie would have flopped. I mean, the producers were interested in Sly Stallone, Robert Redford and Burt Reynolds for the part!

I was just reading Henry James' The Bostonians (I know, Mary!) and was surprised to see that Reeve was perfectly physically cast in the film. I've never seen the film....just looked it up out of curiosity for who played the various roles.

Is it a good film? Has anyone seen it? It also stars Vanessa Redgrave, Jessica Tandy and Linda Hunt.

Reeve obviously tried very hard to avoid doing schlocky commercial action films besides the Superman series. Not sure if that was ultimately a wise career decision but it seemed admirable at the time.

[quote]Sex is sex, hon. I assume this "masseur" was implying that he gave Reeve a happy ending or maybe sucked him off after a "massage session." So indeed Reeve had sex with him, if you believe him. I don't. You must be VERY naïve, if you automatically believe anything you hear.

Seriously, R89, what is your problem? I'm not saying I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was sexual activity between Reeve and the masseur just because the masseur told me so, but why the hell do you find it IMPOSSIBLE to believe that could be true? And why am I "VERY naïve" to believe it might be true?

P.S. Have you never heard of the Kinsey scale? Whether Reeve was 90 percent gay, or 40 percent gay, or 10 percent gay or 3 percent gay, I would really like to know why you can't conceive of the possibility that he would let a male masseur give him a happy ending, either manually or orally. Please enlighten us. Go.

"A male escort and winner of Howard Stern's BIG PENIS CONTEST, told Stern that he once serviced Christopher Reeve."

A male escort and winner of Howard Stern's BIG PENIS CONTEST...what a credible source!

I don't think Reeves was gay. There's no real evidence to suggest that he was, just unsubstantiated gossip. But he was a gorgeous actor, so of course there would be gay rumors about him. It goes with the territory. I'm sure there are people who WANT him to be gay. Several of them are on this thread. But that doesn't make it true.

He was more than a pretty face. His performances varied, but he got many good reviews for other roles he did besides Superman.

R76, R77, R78 a horse frau.

Kind of ironic that he was famous for playing Superman but died looking like Lex Luthor.

Hosted him (and met one of his sons) for a talk advocating for stem cell research at my university in Boston in 2002-2003 or so when I was an undergrad. This was after his accident, and maybe two or so years before his death. He was a huge man, and seemed larger than life even strapped down in his wheelchair with that breathing tube.

I was really struck by how well-spoken, knowledgeable and intelligent he was -- particularly during the q&a session after his scripted talk, when he was speaking off the cuff fielding questions from professors and other academics. His son (his eldest, I think one who'd graduated from brown) seemed very kind and unassuming. Of course his condition wouldve brought even the most arrogant actor down to earth, but Somehow I got the distinct impression that Reeve had always been a kind-hearted, earnest person.

They said he looked to "faggy" to play Superman. They were right.

Thank you, Stevie Wonder.

Hubba hubba

So many frauen on this thread and on DL in general.

Hey frauen, you're interlopers. This is a gay site and we're not interested in your thoughts on any subject.

"Hey frauen, you're interlopers. This is a gay site and we're not interested in your thoughts on any subject. "

Hey retard, anyone can post on this site. It's nondiscriminatory. I guess you're too stupid to realize that. And it's not "we", it's YOU. You don't represent the opinions of anyone except your own retarded self. And I think it can rightly be assumed that there is no person on this earth who would be "interested in your thoughts on any subject." You're an idiot. I think everyone who comes in contact with you tries to avoid you like the plague.

R103, I disagree. We can get the straight perspective anywhere; here I want I read gay voices

He was hot from the start

He had the slightly-aspire gorgeous stare of Matt Bomer.

I read somewhere that Christopher was in a relationship with a guy prior to making it big. This guy was model and actor, too, and they lived together. The guy became a gay porn actor and later died (Not sure if it was AIDS) I believe he stated that Christopher was a "better top, than a bottom." or something along those lines, implying he didn't like to bottom. So, it's save to assume there was bi-curiousness in his DNA. But you couldn't be gay and be a movie star back then. Them's was the rules!

(Hey, it was the swinging seventies! Everyone was doin' it!)

I bet the only person who knew the truth was Robin Williams.

One of my all-time favorite hookups was in 1981/82 in DC. His name was Chuck, was a dead0n double-ringer for Christopher Reeves. Sexy, fun and I always looked forward to running into him. I never saw him after March 1982.

I’m certain it wasn’t Reeves. Obviously. But he looked so much like him, that I could indulge the fantasy.

I’ve never forgotten Chuck and Reeves was always a favorite, no matter what he was it.

Just sadness from a broken neck....I loved him with Michael Cane.

At least we still have Mike.

An actor by the name of Paul Satterfield is (was?) a dead ringer for Reeve.

Paul, helping a friend.

R107 Casey Donovan was the porn actor who claimed to date Christopher, until Casey's burgeoning career started to become a liability and he couldn't be seen with a gay porn actor. I got some of the story right/ some of it wrong.

But basically someone wrote a book who claims that Casey stated he bedded Christopher, but the two passionate parties were both deceased when this revelation came to light. Soooo, kinda sorta maybe could be true?????.

Nah. People are mixing up Reeve with that gay author. Tom Tryon (sp?)
