Encountering random semi-famous people on grindr

Not exactly Grindr - but on manhunt. There’s an incredibly pretty blond twink - he’s been on there for years. Always looking out for top daddies. He’s blond, tanned, nice body - blindingly white, perfect teeth - but a fairly dreary fuck. Just tended to lie there and do nothing and just wants cock in his arse - till he quickly cums - then it’s all over red rover.

I saw him a couple of times - then didnt bother. He’s hot - but dull. He kepthitting me up - I kept making excuses - and then eventually just told him why I didn’t go back. He apologised. And I go back occasionally now - and he does seem to hav made an effort to lift his game somewhat - but when it comes down to it - still selfish and lacking in much passion...

Anyway - he sent me some texts rather than messages online - and text came up with email address attached - which was a name. I googled it out of curiosity. Turns out he’s this children’s daytime show co-compare. He’s got this whole squeaky-clean, pretty boy image and life going on - boy-band handsome and just as unthreatening. Gather he’s really popular. Sheesh!

The reality tho - he lives in the messy basement flat of someone’s house - doesn’t do drugs - but usually online when he’s been drinking - which is a lot! - and he reeks of cigarettes. Think his shelf-life will soon be up - the looks are no longer nearly as fresh as they were even with the online pics from just a few years ago. Hope he has a plan B!

Any guesses who r1 is talking about?

R1 here - also encountered one of the eurocreme porn boys on Grindr once a while ago. He’d supposedly given that up and returned home. He was normally way outta my league - but we had a great fuck! He was wired on crystal and wanted daddy dick - and daddy dick! - and more daddy dick!

He was really cute - and heard he’d hooked up a bit with some other topguys I know as well - but he was all about the drugs - and don’t think somehow it’s going to end well :(

Elaine Stritch.

Some DLrs of past have claimed encounters with Bradley Cooper (baseball cap “disguise” and total oral bottom) and that hot guy with an Indian or Islam sounding name who was in some Law and Orders and some fireman or cop show .

Stop looking at me!

I chatted with Perez Hilton and porn stars Brent Corrigan and Zach Alexander on Grindr years ago, and I’ve blocked Billy Santoro many times. Didn’t meet or want to meet any of them. I am 90% sure I hooked up with Aaron Schock around 2014, but I didn’t know who he was at the time and so I am not a hundred percent sure. I do recall he said he worked on the Hill and couldn’t show his face because of his job but guaranteed me his face was as impressive as his body, and he was physically way out of my league and so I went for it. I figured he must have been married or something.

[QUOTE]Turns out he’s this children’s daytime show co-compare

Was his co-star a puppet dog?

Why do people insist on saying 'Grindr' as a representation of all hookup apps? There is Scruff, FFS.

And Manhunt!!

Grindr is the new Kleenex.

Lots is Bway boys actually

Victor Garber used to cruise me at the Pavillions in WEHO years ago.

Lucky you! Garber is a silver fox.

Garber is a Friend of Cohen. No thanks.

I'd hit it

Davey wavey ? Porn actor ace era2

I've chatted with Clay Aiken numerous times on several platforms. I once admonished him on Connexion in 2006-ish for not being out. What a mess.

R18 Oh yeah, he begged a friend of mine to fuck him on Manhunt many years before he came out. Sad.

I first read OP's line as "Dom Deluise" nude leaks.

I saw a Taiwanese pop star once in LA in the days of AOL chat rooms.

Who??!

He was performing under the name 'Tom Cruise' I have no idea what his real name was

Queer Eye's Thom Filicia

He was visiting N.C. for furniture market. He's a bottom. I didn't mention to him that I knew who he was. We exchanged pics, chatted briefly. He seemed nice enough. I just don't really find him to be very attractive. Incidentally, I also have a friend who went to high school with him in NY.

SheMar. Grindr.

tgrtyry

Froy

I attracted newscasters. One does NBC nightly news clips - I met him when he worked in Vegas. Met guys from CNN and CBS overseas.

r28, spill!

Davey Wavey on A4A in Toronto. He's actually quite polite

Who is Davey Wavey?

Canada is very small, r31

I tried to chat up Danny Pintauro and Cynthia Lee Fontaine on Scruff, but neither responded to my messages. Fuck ‘em.

You must have been horrified

CNN/MSNBC Thomas Roberts (ass pic as his profile)

RKOBH's Jonny Drubel

Human Ken Doll

CNN's Will Ripley

I WISH I had encountered Thomas Roberts

[quote]I WISH I had encountered Thomas Roberts

He was on grindr when we were both in Orlando the day after the Pulse shooting, so he's either in an open marriage or cheating on his husband.

[quote]that hot guy with an Indian or Islam sounding name who was in some Law and Orders and some fireman or cop show

I'm so curious about who ^ this is.

Anyway, when I lived in LA and NY this happened all the time. Not so much now that I live in fuckin Florida.

SPOTTED: Half the Broadway community

TALKED TO:

Marc Jacobs: He was recruiting for a "party" -- no joke.

Jeffrey Self: not my type, but smart and funny

Matt Lucas: from Little Britain. The fat one. When he and on-the-cusp of global fame Rebel Wilson were renting a house together in LA. He actually invited me over for dinner and drinks with his roommate, which I found an odd proposition to receive on Grindr. I would have said yes if I'd realized at the time that Rebel was his roommate. (Also, via his unsolicited x-pics, I can confirm he's hairless everywhere. )

Kal Penn: was in the midst of planning a meetup and he ghosted me.

HOOKED UP WITH:

Hamed Sinno: Openly gay lead singer of Lebanese indie/alt band Mashrou' Leila. They've kind of blown up since, but this was 2 years ago when he was visiting the US (with the band, I think) and I had literally no idea who he was. When a guy in LA tells you he's in a band or he's an actor, it's not terribly surprising. It wasn't until maybe a year later I heard his band being profiled on NPR and started seeing them turn up in articles all over the place that I made the connection. We just didn't chat about his band. He seemed whip smart, cultured and hid some nervous ticks and anxiety behind his sharp wit (don't we all?). His English was beautifully accented and flawless. We didn't fuck. But he was a VERY good kisser and gives world class head. Oh, and when he came he hit the ceiling.

Owen Pallett: He bottomed. Solid 7/10.

A very successful, but not necessarily household name journeyman actor with dozens of IMDB credits. Bit of a silver daddy in his 50s. Still in great shape. One of those actors you've probably seen in several shows, but may not know his name. Nice house in Brentwood. I bottomed. He knew what he was doing. Not out, so, sorry, won't out him here.

I've got a few more, but I don't want to be a thread hog. Fun topic, OP!

[quote]Kal Penn: was in the midst of planning a meetup and he ghosted me.

I want to hear more about this. I find him incredibly hot.

[QUOTE]I've got a few more, but I don't want to be a thread hog

Please, hog away!

Just curious about the Broadway ones - how high up the cast list did it go? Anyone recognisable to a non-theatre queen? And did anyone use their headshot as their face pic?

30 Rock's Jeffrey Weinerslave on Growlr

[quote]I want to hear more about this. I find him incredibly hot.

Not much to report. I was in DC for work. He messaged me first. We chatted on Skype (trust, but verify, boys) for an hour or so. Smart, politically engaged (obviously) guy with a slightly bro'y sense of humor. After about an hour of chatting, I invited him over to my hotel room. He said that would be fun and got my details, but that was the last I heard from him and he didn't respond to a follow up message from me a couple of hours later. I THINK he was in to me as he was the one who first messaged, but who knows?

[quote]Just curious about the Broadway ones - how high up the cast list did it go? Anyone recognisable to a non-theatre queen? And did anyone use their headshot as their face pic?

Ha. No headshots... that I recall. Funnily, the guys who do seem to use their headshots are often the wannabe actors. I'm always amused when they use professional photography on hookup apps.

I wouldn't say household names. I did hookup with a guy from Scruff once who was nominated for a best featured actor in a musical Tony. Other than that, a few well employed gypsies. I'm still gonna use that term, dammit.

Kal Penn is family?!

[quote]I did hookup with a guy from Scruff once who was nominated for a best featured actor in a musical Tony.

Interesting, R40. Though you say he's not a household name, is this someone known in the business to be openly gay or closeted?

Davey Wavey. Danny Pintauro. Matt Lucas.

I'll be in my bathroom throwing up the rest of the afternoon.

I saw Ace Era from Lucas Entertainment on Grindr once (the one with the "fuck me" tattoos on his ass. I messaged him and he actually responded, but he probably wanted money so nothing happened. I still wonder what brought him to my tiny hometown in flyoverlandia.

[quote] CNN's Will Ripley

Beautiful guy (except for the tattoos). There was a thread about him on DL a few years ago.

I chatted up Greyson Chance a couple months ago on Grindr. He was the kid who had 15 minutes quite a few years ago for singing Lady Gaga on a piano. Anyway, he's like 20-21 now and pretty damn cute. Guess he likes guys on the "cubby" side.

I’ve never heard of most of these people. Davey Wavey disgusts me, and that’s only his name. And his name is the best part of him.

[quote]CNN's Will Ripley

Thanks for the introduction. He's adorable! Was it just him, or was the husband around, too?

What did the talented Mr Ripley want to do?

Hamed Sinno is so adorable! I want him. And I hate you for having had him!

I will be in London soon! Will it be possible to easily meet famous men there ?

[quote]Though you say he's not a household name, is this someone known in the business to be openly gay or closeted?

openly gay, I believe

In 2003, Eric Balfour messaged me on Gay.com. I didn’t know who he was, but he quickly told me he was on Six Feet Under. I googled his pic and thought he looked scuzzy. Turned him down.

R56 I always thought he was a sexy homely guy.

R56 “I have a small role in a cable drama about a family-operated funeral home. Does that turn you on??”

r56 he didn’t brag to you about his many appearances on “Kids, Incorporated?”

There's NO gay man here who would EVER turn down Eric Fucking Balfour.

Callum Blue on A4A..... when he was on Smallville playing Zod and I was visiting Vancouver for work where it filmed.

He approached me to hook up but always wanted me come over like RIHGT THAT MINUTE or he would dissappear. I was so pissed cuz I really wanted his dick (he was a top)

R60, he didn’t look like that back then. All of his pics from 6FU made him look like a mall rat skater type, which was not at all my type .

Greyson Chance

Some of you may have been catfished lol

Who gives up Eric Boulfour?

[quote]Who gives up Eric Boulfour?

If you mean Eric Balfour, evidently somebody who doesn’t find him attractive. R62 explained his reason.

R64, I was thinking exactly that, especially about Kal Penn, but when the poster said he Skyped with him, I rethought it.

I’m still not 100% certain that you’re not right, though.

R67 doesn’t he have a bf

I saw DL icon Guy Branham on Grindr...while I saw Guy Branham at Ralphs. Hi Guy! I'm sure he comes here and will be thrilled to find his name among the "semi-famous."

Years later Callem Blue "scandal" (not really cuz he wasn't married or anything) broke on D-Listed but then he ha to pull the story cu of a lawuit or something. But I had the exact same experience as what was posted about him. I even had his dick pics and shirtless/headless with matching tatoos to public photos . I still want his dick!!

Idk, R68, does he? I’m not all that invested in him, just find him attractive. I definitely didn’t know that, if he’s gay, he’s out. That I had no idea.

R5, could that guy with a indian sounding name be Daniel Sunjata (sp)?

The closest to a celeb I got was a guy who claimed to be Nick Nolte's brother. We hooked up in San Diego. After I had fucked him we chatted a bit. I mentioned to him that he looked a bit like Nick Nolte, and he said he was his brother. Could never find out if Nick Nolte even has siblings. He 'brother' was a fun dad though.

He has an older sister

Nolte has one sister, no brothers.

I believe the Kal Penn story because:

1) He’s definitely gay based on his social media likes and follows. It’s well documented on DL.

2) Who in the world would time pretend to be him? No shade...

Callum Blue is hot

Being even a D-list celebrity who is looking to fuck on grindr or other gay hookup apps must be annoying. You can never post your picture in your profile picture. If you're obscure, you might get away with your nudes not being leaked, but that's not always the case. Even a minor character in a Disney TV show got outed (David DeLuise) with his ass hanging in the air!

profile*

Excellent points, R76.

Hadn’t thought of your second one honestly.

Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Chris Hemsworth. I turned all of them down because I had to wash my hair that night.

Callum Blue is aging well

Singer Ed Droste from Grizzly Bear. He was using a face pic. I just told him I was looking forward to his show that night and he thanked me.

I frequently see David Pevsner on Grindr. Would have had no idea who he was were it not for Datalounge.

David DeLuise was always so cute to me. I'm glad his nudes leaked. He's an adorable little bear.

R85= David.

Ryan O’Neal’s son back in the 80s. On my first trip to LA at 18, I met him and his friends at a West Hollywood Bar. My introduction to the ugliness of the LA scene. Helped me realize NYC is more my place.

[quote]Ryan O’Neal’s son back in the 80s.

On Grindr?

Grindr existed in the 80s?!

absolutely, r89, i still have the cartridge for my atari 2600.

Charlie David is very active on Scruff and Grindr in Toronto.

Was the Indian guy Waris Ahluwalia?

[quote]absolutely, [R89], i still have the cartridge for my atari 2600.

Best comment I've seen in a while! :)

erwr23r

This is the type of DL thread were I just sit here and wonder, which of you is telling the truth and which of you is just blowing smoke.

R27 Any more about Froy? I like him.

Reid from Survivor. The bitch blocked me.

R19 is your friend’s name Matt L?

R95 when I read threads like this, I figure it's 90% BS.

^ What makes me think many (but not all) the names are real is that a lot of the people mentioned are C-list or not that hot. It's not a bunch of people claiming that George Clooney tried to pick them up on grindr.

A well known national leader. First in London. Then on the Côte d'Azur. I would be killed if I said the name.

I tapped Jonny McGovern on Grindr but he ignored me. Think he just likes young twinks.

r101, is it someone from the US or an international figure?

A couple of local weatherbottoms from regional TV.

I keep looking for the Broadway boys when I'm in NYC but haven't seen anyone I've recognized

Ditto R84

I saw him and thought to myself "Look! It's that guy from Datalounge!!"

Todd Oldham, Marc Jacobs and Thierry Mugler in the 90’s.

Thierry Mugler was a freak and I would have said yes.

R107 he was totally hot. I hooked up with him a few times. He could get into some real kink.

Miami Miami je suis envious. Had he already pumped his big dick and redone his face?

spell check that was supposed to be Miam Miam (yum yum)

No this was way back in the 90s.

[quote]Charlie David is very active on Scruff and Grindr in Toronto.

Well what else has she got to do nowadays?

Don’t think he’s known in the US, but BBC Weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker, years before the apps. I think it was on Gaydar LOL. We actually went out a few times, it wasnt just hooking up. He was sweet but I was more into the bad boy types who treated me like dirt.

And it was before he started working out and got that perfect body. Oh if I could go back in time and made him my future husband, sigh.

How do you guys know that the guys you chatted to were actually who they claimed to be and not cat fishes, unless you did actually meet?

I chatted and Skyped with Baby Daddy from the Scissor Sisters soon after their first album blew up, he actually asked me out but it didn't fit in around their tour schedule and we lost touch. Always found him very cute

Classic childhood abuse victim behaviour, r1. What a stud you are.

R114 -- Babydaddy was HOT. Hotter than Jake, I'd argue. you missed out!

R104. “Weatherbottoms”. Lol. Love that.

I saw a cute CBC guy on there in Toronto once. Don't remember his name, but I believe he was a married family man at the time, too.

r48 probably had an identity thief.

Any guy of Indian heritage might pretend to be Kal Penn to increase his chances.

But I've heard the Kal Penn rumors for years ...

Surely David Pevsner is the David Pevsner Troll, r84.

[quote]Any guy of Indian heritage might pretend to be Kal Penn to increase his chances.

What?!

That’s pretty fucking racist.

Who is David Pevsner?
