Amber Heard says she was asked to beard for a closeted actor

So, Tom asked her to be his beard?

Good for her for speaking out about this.

She’s too old for Taylor Lautner, no?

[quote]Good for her for speaking out about this.

Maybe if she says who it was. Otherwise, it's not anything we didn't know about before.

Jake G?

You cant expect her to out somebody, that would be a very shitty thing to do.

No, it wouldn’t.

Leo D

Leonardo DiCaprio is plausible. She would have said AA list, right? If it was DiCaprio?

Well be here until next fall trying to figure this one out - The possibilities are endless.

Cant be dicaprio. She would have to be 10 years younger to be like the women Dicaprio dates.

On the one hand you wouldn't expect her to out anyone, on the other hand why bring it up. People know it happens. Unless it's a subtle form of advertising she's willing, but the previous offer wasn't right. It also casts a particular light on the next man she publicly dates, if he's an actor. Also given that she identifies as bi, that seems like the kind of beard you would steer away from.

She strikes me as someone that has been on the verge of happening for many years, but hasn't quite gotten there and at this point probably won't.

No reason why Heard cant happen, unless Depp sabotages her. She is extremely beautiful and not a bad actress. Shes only 32, there are people like Chastain and Amy Adams who got their breakthrough roles in their 30s. Not everyone can be like JLaw or Emma Stone.

Obviously Leo is gay and I have no idea why he doesn't come out of the closet. Little girls are no longer in love with Leo.

Whats so obvious about Leo being gay?

We know r4, but a gay gossip crowd is different than the average person. Having an actor go on record that this happens means more.

"Amber Heard says she was asked to beard for a closeted actor"

What have you Heard?

She really isn't playing the gold-digging game right.

First she blows up with Depp in a way that'll make other rich bastards think twice about taking her on, now she talks about bearding in a way that'll keep future offers away. Who wants a beard who talks about being a beard for hire?

What r10 said. And she'll never spill the beans. She wants to continue to work.

Ya, she really blowed the whole thing with Depp, when he was the crazy drug addict who beat her. She really doesnt know how to do gold-digging, considering that she donated the whole settlement.

She looks like Karla Holmka to me

Jake Gyllenhaal or maybe Matthew McConaughy?

She should date women again and stop playing games with old men.

Yeah, R23, I hear Megan Ellison is available.

Amber Heard is as much trouble cray as Sean Young, without any of Young's talent. Poor Amber is quite going nowhere now for several years and has NOTHING, no legendary work whatsoever.

R20 she got pissed when Depp gave the settlement directly to the charity, stopping her from having the tax break (if she really intended to give it all). She does play the famewhore/golddigging alright.

R13 she is not happening because she is average actress at best (she was wooden in Justice League, let's see how she does in Aquaman), she is beautiful, and that's all she got for her.

Bradley Cooper? Then he started with the model.

Some really pathetic misogynistic assholes on this thread. Feel really sorry for the people who have to deal with them in real life.

Bradley Cooper is a good guess

Frrrrr

R7, if the actor lost his livelihood, yeah, it would.

Either she has real shit on these people to be so reckless, or she is completely stooooooopid about potential repercussions.

I have never really seen her great beauty....she's attractive but beautiful, I think not.

That's the sort of thing you save for your memoirs when you're 75 and give all sorts of hints as to who it might be.

Saying it now seems sort of childish, like "I have a secret but I'm not telling"

Remember when Amber Heard used to be bisexual and dated women?

Remember when we didn't even know there was an Amber Heard? Can we go back to that time?

If you think that she donated her entire settlement from Depp to charity then you are incredibly naive. She got her share from him and Musk.

"if the actor lost his livelihood, yeah, it would."

As if any actor who says "I'm gay" automatically loses any ability to work ever again and automatically becomes homeless

I agree, r33. I’m not seeing it either. She has a blank, unintelligent look, like nobody’s really home...

[quote]She got her share from him and Musk.

What would she have been entitled to from Musk, other than maybe receiving lavish gifts from him during the short time they "dated"?

Great actress r13? In what vehicle? Or are you saying she has had bad direction? Please enlighten us as to how she has moved you with a performance?

This is the same talent-free 'actress' chick who came out as lesbian years before she married Depp. Fuck her.

Where are the truly talented performers? Today, people seem more interested in performers private lives than their talent.

It seems all is takes these days: be somewhat attractive, have a fake or embellished backstory, get a fantastic publicist and you too can become a star. Actual talent seems to be an afterthought.

A see very little true talent these days. Most people seem more interested in gossip and artifice than a celeb's talent.

I believe you answered your own question R40

"This is the same talent-free 'actress' chick who came out as lesbian years before she married Depp."

She came out as bi, not as a lesbian

"It seems all is takes these days: be somewhat attractive, have a fake or embellished backstory, get a fantastic publicist and you too can become a star. Actual talent seems to be an afterthought."

That's nothing new, there have always been manufactured stars, and there have always been stars who were better known for their personal lives than for their movies. She's not even that famous, anyway.

Who says she's telling the truth? no A+ or A list actor would ever go near her as a beard because she's sullied and tarnished and would HURT any top tier actor's BRAND.

She's considered a mess --- bad news, gold digger, man destroyer, people aren't sure if she's lying about the abuse, and then the crapping the bed incident.

Leo or Coop or Cruise or any of these premier TOP LEVEL actors wouldn't touch Amber Heard as a beard not with a barge pole. LOL. That's so stupid to even suggest you're not understanding their level and what brand means.

Channing Tatum, who is currently bearding again, yes, i suspect it was him or his camp ... definitely someone of his ilk that Heard may have been asked to beard for.

I knew people who knew her back in Austin and her name always elicited an eyeroll.

[quote]That's nothing new, there have always been manufactured stars, and there have always been stars who were better known for their personal lives than for their movies. She's not even that famous, anyway.

You must be very young or quite naive. Sure, there were always gossip and scandals involving celebs private lives, yet years ago so many stars actually had real talent. They were interesting, scandalous AND entertaining. Today so many of these fake celebs try waaaay too hard.

It seems these peoples private lives are more interesting than their actual talent.

People like Taylor Swift are stars?! She has to be one of the least interesting and marginally talented 'singers' on the planet. Besides her dumb twee 'songs', her private life is so fake and contrived, yet all her stupid fans easily buy into her bullshit.

The fact that so many boring, dull and talentless people are famous says more about the caliber of fans than the talentless people they consider 'stars'. Most people today simply aren't very discerning. Look who is the president!

This woman is too much of an attention seeker to take what she says at face value.

Channing Tatum is gay?

Amber should have gone with Cooper but it would have been strictly business. He never would have fallen for her shit.

Blind items rehash says it's Emile Hirsch and a movie called Alpha Dog. When I looked it up Miss Timberlake was another cast member and equally, if not more, likely as a beard seeking candidate to me.

Well, if you believe it Sean Penn PAID Scarlett and Charlize to "pretend" to be his girlfriends because HE'S even gay.

Who the hell knows what's going on in HellyWeird!

R47, you must be naive if you think all stars in the past were talented. You believe someone like Lana Turner was famous for her talent?

[quote]Depp gave the settlement directly to the charity

The charity confirmed SHE gave them the money and her name is listed as the donor.

Do you really go around the internet lying to defend Johnny Depp? Yikes.

I feel like Margot Robbie took all the roles that Heard might have been considered for. They're a similar type except Robbie is more talented and much less problematic.

"Amber Heard says she was asked to beard for a closeted actor "

Pfft, she wishes -

R54 my bad, you're right, my info was from 2016 (see YT vid attached), it was confirmed earlier this year that she was added to a list of donators, a full year and half after the first news of Depp giving the money directly.

Yeah, r56, it's really implausible that a closeted actor would ask a semi-famous actress to beard for him. We all know stuff like that never happens!

[quote] The “Justice League” star’s name was included on the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ recently released 2017 donors list honor roll in a category for donations between $1 million and nearly $5 million for the fiscal year ending in June 2017. The contribution appears to be proof the 31-year-old is following through on her promise to donate her $7 million divorce settlement from ex-husband Johnny Depp to charities such as the American Civil Liberties Union, specifically to prevent violence against women, and CHLA, where Heard works as a volunteer.

^^ This is such horseshit. She donated the net proceeds. Zero. After she'd taken her share to continue to live the live style to which she became accustom, nothing was left.

R57, I believe that Depp offered to donate the money rather than give it to her, which was perhaps the only good PR move made in the entire long nasty divorce.

There are 2 options regarding the people posting such disgusting comments about Heard on this thread: either they are insane, delusional assholes who genuinely believe their own bullshit, or they are pathetic, misogynistic creatures who think that posting lying, anonymous, illogical comments about her is actually going to make them true.

Either way, know that you are the scum of the earth doomed to live nasty, miserable lives and you will never know a moment of true happiness if your minds are filled with such bile. You will probably end up like Heard's crazy, abusive, drug-addicted ex who is likely going to die a miserable death pretty soon, except without the money he has, though he has pissed most of it away.

R62 Bla bla, bla bla, bla bla

I know for a fact it's Matthew Gray Gubler. I'm friends with the showrunner and they were worried early on that gubler's sexuality would turn off all the women who keep Criminal Minds ratings up. So they asked Amber. She refused but they gave her a part in one of the early episodes.

^ that's interesting

Thanks, r64, we appreciate the info.

[quote]the crapping the bed incident.

The what?

Depp accused her of defecating in his bed after an argument and NOT cleaning it up.

How's that chocolate eclair tasting now, brown cow?

By all accounts Heard was always up against Scarlett Johansson in their salad says (they were considered the same type), and she always lost out. Hates Scarlett's guts, from what I've heard.

If anyone ever crapped in the Depp's bed, it was Johnny the aging alcoholic.

Mind you, he probably didn't remember doing it.

Amber Heard is so "dead behind the eyes" looking. Is she in any way expressive outside of a divorce hearing?

If she's telling the truth I'd say Henry Cavill, instead Kaley Cuoco got the job.

Amber hates Scarlett Johansson because they were competing for movie roles? Is that what you are saying?

From the outside I would imagine Scarlett is another dimension entirely in terms of pecking order and her A list status and box office appeal.

Some folks are suggesting it was Austin Nichols, her Informers co-star and the supposed sometime boyfriend of Jake G.

Is it true that Jake, Maggie (short lesbian haircut all her life) and their mother Naomi are all gay? I heard that from someone who attended Harvard Westlake with the siblings.

Apparently he's been bearding for years, found this online: "Following his breakup from Kat Dennings, Gubler was linked with music artiste Victoria Asher. In July 2013, it was also reported that a relationship appeared to be brewing between the actor and music royalty Taylor Swift. Exciting as their possible relationship may be, this report was never confirmed by either of the two."

Taylor Swift?! Well, that should certainly answer the question about his sexuality!

About his character on Criminal Minds: "Going by his previous choice of relationship partners, it would be safe to say that Matthew Gray Gubler is not gay. In addition, the actor has never made any statements that may suggest otherwise. In 2012, the creator of Criminal Minds announced that Gubler’s character on the show Dr. Spencer Reid had initially been intended to be bisexual. This piece of information could possibly have been misconstrued in many ways. However, Matthew Gray Gubler has never admitted to being bisexual in real life."

Who is Amber Heard dating now -- back with the lesbian artist or Shnabel's kid or what?

George Clooney.

god I love mr grey. gubler…....so cute and his style of acting: scrumptious... and tasty to look at, he da only reason I watch that repulsive tv show.

HE IS A DISH

She should have accepted. Her career hasn’t taken off the way she has hoped. Or maybe she actually hasn’t hoped. What do I know.

Anyhow, I’m not sure what bearding pays, but at least it’s a job, with a decent income. Im guessing one must actually get along very well, with the other person one is bearding for, being that both will be spending lots of time together, & perhaps even having children. If the gentleman in question is a decent person, who treats her well and isn’t abusive in any way, then it could be a plus.

Here’s the thing that escapes me, however; how do these closeted celebrities keep it all under wraps for so long? That’s not easily done in the age of social media and cellphones.

Why would anyone beard for Gubler??? He’s not even B list.

Amber could have easily bearded for an A lister. Instead, she married Depp. No A Lister wants to be attached to that train wreck. It sullied her credibility.

She was young enough, and gorgeous enough to hold out for an A lister, no?

Amber is a lesbian. She will have better luck sticking to the ladies, and finding genuine love.

I’m not sure that I’d be able to beard at such a young age. You still want to hold out for true love. Why marry a man who doesn’t love you, when you can marry a man who does? Well, in her case, a woman.

I really hope we get to a place in our society, as well as other societies, where we don’t expect this out of those in the biz.

I know people will disagree with me, but I never saw or perceived Rupert Everett as less of a man, or less handsome, because he came out.

I found him to be stunning, and I never doubted his character’s attraction to women, whenever playing a heterosexual man, on the big screen.

Why would anyone ask her to beard for her when she is crazy. And she attracts crazy.

Depp, Musk

I think both were thinking 3somes, she be okay with that as the draw.

It looks like her demise was greatly exaggerated she's everywhere speaking to UN and doing work around the world and she'll literally be ALL OVER THE PLACE for Aquaman promotion.

Bradley Cooper

I bet it's Bradley Cooper or Tom Hiddleston, depends how long ago it was.

"Why would anyone beard for Gubler??? He’s not even B list."

He's on a hit tv show.....there are guys who are way less famous than him who have bearded (including one D-list actor I knew years ago)

Please, r86. Weve had other people say they are insiders over the years. If you check the archives you will find:

One who said they worked for CBS and that the network covered up statutory rape.

Another who said they went to college with him and that he is straight.

And more recently someone who said he and is girlfriend are expecting a child.

Combine that with the rumors of him and Ali Michaels and Charlotte Muhl, I'd say that the Amber Heard post is wishful thinking and that you are crushing on a possible perv.

"Combine that with the rumors of him and Ali Michaels and Charlotte Muhl, I'd say that the Amber Heard post is wishful thinking and that you are crushing on a possible perv."

I'm not crushing on him....I don't even care about him, just think it's weird that people believe only A+ list actors beard.

Sure Jan.

You sound dumb, I was responding to the poster who said he "wasn't famous enough" to beard which is stupid. It's the less famous actors who need to beard more.

Sure Jan.

Yawn, not even clever enough to think of a real response.

Sure Jan.

I have no comment on Heard or who she might have been offered to beard for (other than I think she is a gay leaning, but hugely ambitious, bisexual who will do whatever, and whoever to get ahead. I say this as because as 'problematic' as it may be, most bi women tend to be straight leaning in my experince. I see her as the opposite and is simply being an actor in her 'romantic' interactions with men most of the time, but I digress) but it always makes me laugh at those who think that someone isnt 'famous' enough to beard. R90 is correct, its the up and coming actors who need to, and do beard, if they have dreams of becoming A-List. Its not rocket science.

And that holds true for two actors who weren't on anyone's radar at the time, r94?

R94 No, it doesnt make sense that Amber ( a solid B list) would beard for an irrlevant c/d list man unless they were at the same agency and they thought he had the looks and could quickly move into the same/ higher level. So no.

If the timeline from upthread holds then both were z-list at the time.

Then yes, especially if the woman isnt straight herself, but is going for fem roles......

My money is on Justin Timberlake when both were in Alpha Dog. Usually there is one famous person in a bearding relationship. Timberlake would have been the famous one at the time and its been long rumored that he and Biel beard for each other.

She's so basic and boring. And yes, she looks like Karla Holmka.

R96, this happened years ago, before she was well-known
