Let’s Discuss Ben Hardy and how he got cast in TWO Bryan Singer films..
I know that Singer ultimately sought out Hardy and got him in XMen Apocalypse, but do you believe the rumors Hardy (born Ben Jones) let Singer get a go or two to confirm his casting?
I can’t help but find it odd that Hardy was then cast again by Singer in Bohemian Rhapsody, which is giving him incredible exposure all over the world. People who didn’t know he existed are looking him up and know his name now. Did Singer cast him because he felt he would be perfect for Roger or did Hardy use his ASSets to score this role again when Singer told him about it?

Now let’s discuss Lucas Till...
Till was in XMen First Class NOT directed by Bryan Singer. He probably earned his role. But when Singer was brought back for Days of Future Past Till was not originally gonna be brought back. The film didn’t have him in the script and he was gonna be one of the dead characters (many of the first class characters are dead in DOFP) until Till reached out to Singer and begged him to let him be in the movie, no matter how small the role. Supposedly Singer met with him then late in filming it was announced Till would be reprising his role as Alex Summers (although only in one scene where we see him escape with two other mutants then we never see them again). Of course, in Apocalypse he was given much more to do and then killed off.
What do you think was said in that meeting that convinced Singer to keep Till on board?

R14 I know R36 already answered your question, but let me jump in with a little trivia.
Aaron Stanford (the second, main actor for the X-Men character Pyro) was brought on to Singer’s X-MEN to replace a younger twinkier guy who was mysteriously fired from the role after the first Fox X-MEN. Stanford once gave a cryptic response to an interview question about this doing press rounds for X2, implying that no-one on-set was allowed to discuss the firing and that Singer was sore about it. Stanford actually got the role because at his audition he made Singer laugh, humming the theme to COPS while he pretended to shoot fireballs.
[quote] And just to ensure employment in future X"-sequels he won't be asking any more questions regarding the fate of Alex Burton, the actor who briefly played Pyro in the first film. "I have no idea what happened to that guy," says Stanford, laughing. "I asked a bunch of times, and no one seems to want to tell me."
Little brunette Stanford was in his mid-late 20s when he got the role and lookswise he was never Singer’s type, if that clarifies anything.
Given that Pyro as a character in these movies serves as an allegory for tortured gays with a bitter spite for straight mores & values, it’s probably safe to suggest that Pyro was an avataric character for Singer more than a lust object (look more to Shawn Ashmore’s Iceman for that, on whom Pyro has a noticeable jealous crush in X3 and later sleeps with in the comics...)

I suspect Singer's X-Men is one of the reasons Marvel even decided to take the movie business seriously. Both Fox and Sony (with Spidermen films) have offered a nice counterpoint to Marvel Studios offerings. I doubt we'd really have the MCU we have today without Singer and Raimi.
And obviously the rights are just about to revert back to Marvel since Disney bought 21st Century Fox.

^all sound points. The only downside is that under the D—ney umbrella there is no chance of decent gay adult mutants getting respectful storylines. You’ll have cute pandering stereotypical ‘LGBT’ stuff and shipper craziness, but it will go no further.
The cool thing about Singer? (vile as is the man) His approach to gay subtext and making homosexuality seem like a credible threatening alternative to straight lives. He conflates being gay with being necessarily an opposition to established power & authority and in doing so lent gravitas. He’s still an awful creepy scumbag, though.

He's a shit actor, was in EastEnders and still is now. He doesn't have the charisma to cover up for bad acting either so I expect him to disappear from Hollywood in a few years, probably back to the UK for a couple of itv dramas and then back to soap, not EastEnders though his character will have definitely been recast by that point, I'd say something really bad like Hollyoaks, at which point he will be one of the older members of the cast.

Such an odd post. Every movie has a nobody or two in it. If a guy is young and attractive, gossip web sites always have simpering gays just SURE the guy's gay, slept with so-and-so to get the job, And usually with resh talent, after a irt film another will follow. An actor born Ben Jones, so?, calling himself Ben Hardy, because he is nice looking, probably nicer than most posters on gossip fourms, doesn't have to be someone's fuck to get work.

Look don’t crucify me but I had heard that Ben and the boy playing cyclops did a three way with singer. I know it sounds fucking crazy since the cyclops kid already had a functioning career in the States. People become crabs in a barrel when huge franchises are on the line and you haven’t broken through.
I do believe that Ben has put out. His whole thing about type doesn’t take into account the power that goes along with these aligstions. Almost everything in the world is about sex to some degree, except sex.
The gossip, also said that there was a video that elites were holding of the encounter. Same stuff I had heard about Zac Ef0n. They get you into sex, film it and hold it over you for continued use.

Well, that was a weird theory. But integrity, please. Bryan Singer flew him in, it's not like little Ben was likely calling the shots. Hopefully it wasn't too unpleasant, given that Singer is the worst. Though he apparently only got to hate him on the set of BR.

It’s known how Ben got his role in X-Men...
The character is American and he can’t speak with an American accent. Hence why they cut so many of his lines and he’s just standing around.

After working with Singer twice, I'm sure Ben sucks cock like a pro (which he is). I wonder if they had a code phrase, like 'going over the script', to get Ben into Singer's trailer. Boy must have swallowed a bunch of jizz - I bet Singer's balls ache every time he sees the boy's pics.

Hardy is a U.K. Soap actor. Singer found him and offered him the role in XMen after their “meeting”.
No way did he not offer services in exchange for the role. He didn’t even audition.
Many didn’t like him on set cause he couldn’t even do the American accent required so they had to change the script to give him less lines.

[quote] My feelings exactly [R15] ! That photoshoot was like a clarion call to the chickenhawks in Hollywood who I feel sure read those magazines!
Hardy was 23 during the shoot, hardly a chicken. Discussing Singer and other gays in Hollywood has always been difficult here since homophobic women seem to think older men lusting after guys under 30 are all pedophiles. Obviously if Singer has fucked guys under 16 he should be be punished but as we see with Hardy some people think a 27 year old man is apparently not mature enough to make his own decisions.
Quite telling that one poster got angry when she thought Halle Berry was somehow implied to have had something to do with all these yucky gays.

"Getting started, many actors try to make friends with casting agents, directors, producers...some admit to it but wise actors" quickly learn you don't want to be friends with these people, casting directors anyway. The bottom of the entertainment food chain and mostly cunts, male and female alike. And, at their worst, big time assholes like B. DaMotta.
I always tells actors you only want to know them in their offices, then get the hell out and go home. Speak through your agent only.

r227 You are pathetic with your constant Singer defence. Always the same wording...
No one said Hardy was underaged or a child. No one. No one even called him a victim of sexual abuse.
However Singer is a sick fuck who clearly went for this 22 year old because he could still pass as a teenager and therefore tickled his fancy and power fantasies. Good for Ben that he was 22, even if he didn't look it, and already had an established sex life, so hopefully will not have to turn to heroin to drown the Singer memories out. Also good for Ben that he actually got results for his trouble.
That does not make Singer any less of a sick fuck in general.

R237, why am I not surprised that you side with Mia Farrow. The delusion you show is just breathtaking. No wonder you seem so hell bent on attacking Singer, and apparently Hardy as well. You really seem to have trouble with male sexuality, even when all parties are over 20. I guess every man under 30 really is too young to have sex with other men in your eyes. You're probably some middle-aged cougar wannabe who fantasizes about teen boys.

I'm not attacking Hardy, nor any of the actresses who had to suffer through Weinstein (all of whom were off age, some of whom got Oscars out of it). I do not like rapists though. No surprise that people who are professional power abusing pervs always end up being accused of rape as well as those lines get more and more blurred the more they get away with. Weinstein, Singer, Allen, birds of a feather.
You do realise that asking people for sex in exchange for jobs or job related benefits, never mind demanding it, is highly frowned upon outside of the entertainment biz, as well as illegal? Laws made by fat underfucked fraus in your opinion, I'm sure.

R240, your tales of Bryan Singer's casting couch sound like they are coming from CDAN. Is this the case? I don't remember anyone even gossiping about it before some people started saying he must be fucking all the young guys who have appeared in his films. For some reason it's the gay Hollywood directors and producers who are getting accused of using casting couches here. It has happened with Ryan Murphy, Roland Emmerich and Greg Berlanti. Since not many straight directors are accused of doing the same I can only imagine we're dealing with a homophobic smear campaign.
And yes, Bryan Singer is a chicken hawk, we all know that. The question is did he truly have sex with guys under 16 or not, and was the sex consentual and not forced in any way. If he's broken the law he'll have to face the consequences. However you try claim he practically raped Ben Hardy even though there's no way you can know if they even had sex. I can only wonder why.

Even if the sex was consensual it’s rape if the people are teens. Look up facts R241
And Singer and Hardy exchanging sex for a role isn’t rape. It’s an exchange. A transaction.
