How did Allen Carr turn Russell Todd and Howard McGillin GAY?

In the early 80s both Russell Todd and Howard McGillin were straight men married to women. In fact both men told Allen Carr to his face they were

STRAIGHT

But after working with Allen Carr in the film "Where The Boys Are '84" both men eventually left their wives and embraced being out and gay.

So how did Allen Carr turn both these men gay?

So did Allen Carr, hence hiring him for Where The Boys Are '84. However he never made it with Russell. But how did he turn Russell gay after the movie was completed? He was straight and married PRIOR to meeting Allen Carr

I don't think you can "turn" someone gay. Either it's in them or it's not. But you can help them to accept it rather than deny it.

R11 both men were MARRIED to Women and told Allen Carr they are STRAIGHT.

Where is the confusion?

He promised them roles in Grease 3. And when they squealed with delight that they may be working with John Travolta, Allan Carr *knew* he could turn them like a brown grilled cheese sandwich.

by Anonymousreply 25November 30, 2016 4:32 PM

They were both gay. Allen had nothing to do with 'turning' them. Don't be so stupid OP.

by Anonymousreply 26November 30, 2016 4:33 PM

R26 when they first met Allen Carr they were

MARRIED TO WOMEN

And told Allen Carr they were both STRAIGHT to their face.

Now years later they are out and proud

So explain that.

I'm as gay as a Christmas card, but I'd tell Allen Carr I was straight just so he wouldn't be knocking on my hotel door at 3:00 am.

I had to look very closely at that picture of Todd. Body still looks great ........... the grey hair is nice and the smile and eyes are the same.

Haven't seen anything indicting he is gay ? Link ??

Apparently he's got an agency now that books cameramen.

OP ---- You understand there could be a laundry list of men who were MARRIED and 'STRAIGH' and later came out as GAY, right ??

Turning someone gay, if they weren't already so inclined, even if somehow possible, would be INCREDIBLY difficult. Simply being in a movie isn't going to turn someone, no way, no how.
