James Marsden Has A 15-Year-Old Son

I don't think the kid looks exactly like his father.

Doesn't he know that he is gay???

Jack and Mary? Christ. Why not name the kid John Doe?

Something tells me james isn't his father.

stop the presses! op has quite a scoop.

Cyclops has beautiful eyes. James is one handsome daddy-o.

He looks awkward and extremely uncomfortable kissing dudes on the screen. He and Scott Speedman make for a gorgeous couple, if only in that depressing as hell movie 24 Hours. I'd plow Jimmy here at least that long. He's hot.

Over the years there have been multiple threads about James Marsden but no threads about Matthew Marsden who IMHO is much better looking, 4 inches taller and the same age, I don't get it.

R1 There is definitely a resemblance, but identical, no. The boy is clearly his.

He goes to my gym sometimes. And no, they are nowhere near "identical"

The inevitable "I like men, not boys" poster in 3, 2, 1...

[quote]He looks awkward and extremely uncomfortable kissing dudes on the screen.

Oh thank god he's not one of those deviants. I mean, I have no clue what this has anything to do with the op's post but thank god he is all man and not at all comfortable kissing "dudes". He is 100% and not a f-ggot. Thank god.

Excuse you R11. If you're a consummate, professional actor and accept a role that involves kissing another man, do your fucking job and ACT. Marsden is insulting the whole creative process, film crew and the gay community by anything less than a full commitment and effort.

Decline the movie role and move on if you can't portray gay. The greats at acting can play any role, effortlessly.

I don't think they look exactly alike. Maybe if the kid didn't have such blond hair.

They don't look alike at all. I'd never guess Marsden is his father. Except now one minute later after I've watched the video of their red carpet interview I can see the kid's mouth and his expressions looking a lot like his dad's.

When the son isn't peroxided out I see the resemblance.

R4 the majority of men aren't jazzed enough about kids to be cool with raising another man's son. For a lot of straight guys it's all about that primitive urge to continue the line and pass on their seed.

If Jnr. isn't James's? Chances are Daddy doesn't know. Either that or even knows and is using it as leverage to step out.

To the posters talking about Marsden not having a gay kiss in 24TH DAY - when talking to Dennis Hensley for 'The Advocate' about the movie (in around 2005, for the press circuit when it came out), Jimmy remarked that he was enthusiastic to kiss for the camera, it just wasn't in the script. He said that Speedman felt the same.

Wait, I'm confused by this article. Does "look exactly alike" still mean "resemble"?

James Mardsen knocked up some model in a one night stand and has a kid by her as well.

R9 my dude, you can't just show up in a place like this with "he goes to my gym sometimes" and not give juicy details.

And I have a role for James Marsden in my new play!

James was in another gay film, The D Train.

Disturbing Behavior-era James Marsden was one of the hottest things ever.

For some fucking stupid reason I'm sitting here laughing at the idea of James parenting his son in the same jerkass way his homophobe closet-case character Rex in SEX DRIVE treats his brother. Like James calling him "Clay Aiken" & "Queerbait" when his son scratches the car, oversleeps etc.

There's absolutely no evidence to suggest James is a phobe, a closet-case or a jerk at all. It's pretty clear he isn't at least two of those things. And I get it's not a funny scenario at all outside of a dumb comedy movie. It's just a really, really funny thought given how that character was.

Didn't know JT Leroy was James Marsden's son!

'Nathan' would have been a better name.

Will the son model like his Dad did, though?

James took Jack to the last SAG awards.

With the bleached do Jack looks like a long-lost member of Spandau Ballet.

Marsden also placed a gay character in 'Heights'.

He's an interesting performer--he actually can act, despite his hunkiness, and he's got a nice singing voice too. His hunkiness makes him oddly hard to cast, though, and he's best suited for lighter comic roles.

He would have been great in romantic comedy when he was younger--I wonder why he didn't get cast in more.

Loved him in Hairspray.

The son does have a bit of a gayface going on.

He’s kind of what everyone wanted Mark Ruffalo to be.

True also that he’s hard to cast, because he’s so good an all-rounder. He can act, sing & dance worth a damn, plus he’s gorgeous & charming enough to get whatever he wants - we all hate people like that IRL. That’s why I’m not sure he’d work in a romance unless black comedy; he doesn’t have enough obvious foibles. I loved him in THE D-TRAIN because it played with the type of pristine public image James has.

I'm blond-blind. I can't tell if they look alike or not.

Fun Fact : James Marsden's father is (still for some unfathomable reason) in charge of food safety at Chipotle.

[quote]James was in another gay film, The D Train.

The best gay film he was in was Heights.

I remember him on some awful early 90s teen show called Boogie's Diner or something.

I don't think they look that much alike but James is incredible good looking.

He was the original Griffin on Party of Five, and when they recasted him, he went from hot, angsty loner to loser.

Recasted?

[quote] I don't think they look that much alike but James is incredible good looking.

Ooh, savage. Young Jack is a cutie, leave him alone.

R33 what do you mean about Ruffalo? That Ruffalo is a triple threat meant for superstardom, but it deviated somewhere along his path?

About Marsden, I forget about him until some article comes up showing how hot he still is. Marsden isn't on a lot of people's consciousness because he's not cast more, and not in blockbuster movies since x-men or so!

I'm not surprised that Marsden's dad is still working. Marsden's net worth can't be that much. A few tens of millions? And the child support oy vey.

Marsden > Ruffalo.

r41, how was that savage. They don't look alike, didn't have anything to do with dissing Jack at all.

R40, yeah, with Jeremy London in season 2. Apparently James got a movie.

Even in his 40s James is devastating handsome. It pisses me off he is in a HBO show the women walk around nude for no reason he hasn’t done any good nudity. Is he still on the show. Haven’t really watched but his character has been killed twice but he is a robot so that’s no big deal.

What's with the hair? Is it for real? Is it on purpose? Tragic.

[quote] Marsden isn't on a lot of people's consciousness because he's not cast more, and not in blockbuster movies since X-men or so!

I love Cyclops/Scott Summers as a character, and when written correctly he is a great lead character.

Unfortunately, this did not happen in the Fox X-MEN movies. Scott’s sidelining hurt Marsden’s career in the same way that Logan/Wolverine’s ascension in pop-culture to ‘alpha X-Man’ saved Jackman’s.

Thank you, R49.

Maybe because of Westworld he'll now be cast in more things.

R23 : Yes.

Is westworld a movie or a series.

Where can I watch it.

damn daddy. i want him to fuck me

James must have one of those mathematically near-perfect faces, as not a one of you bitches have called him ugly yet.

It must be difficult growing up as the son of such a man. Jack might turn out a bette artist than his father for this very reason.

[quote] Jack might turn out a bette artist than his father for this very reason.

Are you saying he risks becoming a drag queen? When he comes of age, I doubt there will be many or any Bette Davis impersonators left. But who knows he may bring them back?

[quote]Jack might turn out a bette artist

Midler or Davis?

I see the resemblance. The kid should lay off the hair bleach.

I know that the current trend is for beards and stubble.

But I'm not sure if it works on this guy with his deep dimples etc.

Another celebrity spawn model.

The son looks like his mother.

Son looks gay.

Son is gay.

James Marsden is attractive in the way toothpaste models and game show hosts are. Dimples make a man's face too smiley and pretty----like a live mannequin. That's why he's really not leading man material.

I used to think that about him, r64. I think my opinion changed after The D Train.

R64 no wonder he was perfect in Hairspray as the host. Not gritty enough for superhero movies.

He's still incredibly handsome, but during the late 90s and early 00s he was beautiful. Like, distractingly so. Not a word I would use often to describe a good looking man, but in James's case it's accurate.

R64 Yes. A little too cheesy to be credible.

I remember reading a blind item about James a long time ago. A famous designer lured James to get him alone for some clothes and the designer had sex with him.

Marsden is the most beautiful man. I crush on him like a teenage girl. He can change his look from picture to picture. I've never understood why he's not a huge star.

He played gay in one movie. But I've forgotten its name.

Which designer do you think it was, R69? Donna Karan?

The D Train he topped Kack Black. Who wouldn’t want to fuck James in the ass?

R72 I can’t remember but of course it was a man.

R71, see R17.

That interview with the son at R60 is kind of hilarious (in a "when he looks back at it when he's older, he'll cringe" kind of way).

The son is hairier than I would have thought. Not that I've thought about it. Too twinky for me...but James?? Oh hell yah.

Poor Jack’s dream was to work with recording artist Lil Peep.

Hope James kept his son intact like dad.

R70, I wanted to crack a joke about all this but I have so much respect for James that I couldn’t bring myself to do it. And it’s not like he’s got some all-time great role that I cherish—I honestly can’t tell you the name of a single character he’s played. He’s just such a stand up guy. I also wish he was more successful but I bet he’s pleased with where he is and wouldn’t change a thing. That’s the kind of guy he is.

This guy is incredibly handsome, and I am generally pretty unimpressed with the newer crop of actors and actresses.

Really love this guy. And I like to think that every gay role he’s played is a big FUCK YOU to Kirk Cameron.

He's the right level of fame...gets work, is well known, but not so famous that paparazzi are following him around all the time.

And, he's hot.

He played Corny Collins in the John Travolta version of Hairspray. He was adorable. He's on Westworld now. Still adorable.

I love this queen analyzing his dancing style in the movie.

He’s a cute above. A true gem.

Although often nude in Westworld I don't think we got frontal. Which is a shame.

JM from 14 to 43.

I guess that funeral movie is the best nudity he has done.

I guess I’m getting old but I’m finding men in their 40s hot.

Maybe the designer who he had sex with was Versace.

Oh shit, my bad. I said I couldn’t remember the name of a single character he played—but I forgot he was Cyclops. So there.

It's weird sometimes watching hot guys emerge from their pupas.

It's true that many of today's good looking actors are guys who have always looked much younger than their years and didn't come into their looks until they were in their mid-20s when they could pass for good looking 17 year olds.

But at age 18, the likely were skinny and looked like they were 13.

The good news is it gives them a certain longevity--think Rob Lowe -- in that they continue to look young into their early 50s.

Agree r94. Women's looks only decline and they are past their prime after 50. Some men are still in their peak 40-55, like Marsden, Ruffalo, RDJ, Rudd. RDJ's wrinkles are overtaking his looks with drug use, at 52 he might cling to 2 more years left.

Exception is Dylan McDermott who's 56 and looks 46.

Women are past their prime after **30**

(And men can be breakout hunk celebs starting at 40 even. See Thor 3 director Taika Waititi)

[quote] Women's looks only decline and they are past their prime after 50.

Except the well-kept dykes among us who stay fit, eat our nuts & seeds and eschew hardcore makeup/tanning/bad surgery.

Ever hear of ‘lesbian skin’? It’s really a thing.

Peeped the kid's instagram. He's gay as the day is long.

I was one of those skinny guys who didn't look decent until my 20s. I had high cheekbones and a strong jawline but really bad skin. Nobody looked at me. Then one day when I was about 23 my own mother said to me, "You know, you're not bad looking after all." Kept it too, until my 50s. I was always surprised when people were attracted to me. And now, at 65, I'm back to invisible.

Gay women age well on the strength of their personalities.

Looks like he's a hairy little monkey.

No kidding, r98. Gaybie and his mom.

At least he looks more like a model than Jude Law's dough-faced son.

Isn't 5'8" a little diminutive for a model?

R97, do you like nutloaf?

[quote] Marsden resembled Matt Damon in high school.

Did his ass look like Matt’s too?

I was coming here to post 'AWG' as I'd confused the name with someone else, but he is truly one handsome man. More beautiful than the overhyped Brad Pitt at his peak. And he's one of those who were merely cute, if a little less manly, when they were younger but grew more handsome in their 30s and 40s. I wonder if he's experienced the homosex especially in his modelling days.

For once, a hot guy thread on DL I can agree with.

R100 I’m getting Franco brothers vibes from those shots.

Identical? Methinks not! They do have a similar jaw line.

[quote]Isn't 5'8" a little diminutive for a model?

Celebrity children get a lot of leeway on the usual ironclad modeling codes, like height, or being goodlooking.

They have the same phenotype.

Is that like a mutant thing R109? Is Jack one day going to sprout wings or grow in some blue fur?

i think its cute that james often likes his son's IG pics. Do you think he'd be a cool dad or too absent with work to be much of an influence?

What work r111?

He’s currently got a pretty good gig on Westworld.

...’Westworld’ had more than one season?

Didn’t he die twice on Westworld and the second time is for keeps?

Liking your kids' instagram pics ≠ parenting.

Not sure how accurate it is but IMDB has him in all 10 episodes of Season Two of Westworld.

Is Westworld east of Java?

Ok but did Shawn Ashmore call James ‘Daddy’ on the set of X-MEN?

Years ago, celebrities tried desperately to protect their children from the prying eyes of the press. Then something changed and celebrities began spending millions of dollars to give their untalented offspring singing lessons and acting lessons or calling in favors to make their little darlings FAMOUS. Now with social media, talent (or the slightest appearance of talent) is no longer necessary. They all have realized they can become FAMOUS just by being MODELS! And now we have Paris Jackson, Cordell Broadus, Hailey Baldwin, Brooklyn Beckham, Christian Combs, Amelia Hamlin, Sistene Stallone, Hopper Penn, the Jenner spawn and countless others.

r107 perhaps, except Jack's is about 3 inches higher than on any normal human face.

Do you think James is a big enough star to where Jack doesn’t have to bend over to get gigs?

Methinks Jack loves to bend over.

Loved him in this movie.

R39 HOLY FUCKING SHIT, MARSDEN was original Griff? They should have hung on to him, Jason London is no James Marsden.

Now I know who that was. I’ve been rewatching PO5 from the beginning recently and the S01-02 casting changes were messing with my head a little. I guess James’ name was even a ‘featuring’ in the credits but I wasn’t paying enough attention to clock it and afterward didn’t wanna go back to the S01 finale find it. Thanks R39, you’re a Mensch.

Watching him sing and dance in Hairspray, is one of the sexiest things I've seen in my life. Made me realize how much sexier a man can be if he can really dance.
