Joel Schumacher sucked a lot of cocks!

Look up details on that evil piece of shit's relationship with Brad Renfro, among other self-destroying child actors.

Come and get it!

And?

He is disgusting.

Amateur

[quote] Asked if he’s ever guessed the number of sexual partners he’s had, Schumacher responded that “It would be in the double-digit thousands, but that is not unusual.”

What???

Eww.

wonder if he ever during pre-production copped a feel from the front and the back with clooney and o'donnell on batman & robin in their suits.. you know just to make sure they fit correctly and highlighted their "assets"..

Can someone paste the copy? It's behind a paywall.

If he's been sexually active since he was a teen, three times a week for 65 years gets you to 10,000 easily. I'm sure Andy Cohen's had more.

This is what he looked like at his best, when he was young--he's at upper-left (Halston the designer is at upper-left).

There's a striking lounge-lizard exotic appeal to him, I will grant that; but he was never hunky or handsome. If he had THAT much sex, he must have been a total sleazebag when he was young, and then also pressured young men into having sex with him as soon as he had power.

It is really creepy of him to say to have more than 10,000 sexual partners "is not unusual." That's just not true, and feeds into stereotypes straight people about gay men being total whores. I know a very very few guys who have had that many partners, and they are the exceptions, NOT the rule.

If you only did one per week for 45 years, that would add up to 2,340. But that limits you to only one per week!

It also means no three-ways, no fourgies, no orgies. There would be no Fire Island, no PTown, no West Hollywood, and certainly no San Francisco. Ditto sex clubs and bath houses.

It seems to me that a gay man in America with a normal lifespan would have to work hard not to break 3,000.

Good for him I guess but he looked kinda repulsive when he was young (not even getting into present day) so you wonder how he nabbed 20,000 guys.

He’s a lousy lay

How? He was a Hollywood power.

OR he could be exaggerating so that people will talk about him.

R11, if some straight person judges me or assumes s/he knows anything about me based on the random musings of some celebrity has-been, what does that have to do with me? Do you judge straight people based on Donald Trump’s behavior or Bernie Madoff’s behavior. Sounds childish to me.

And so what if I’ve sucked thousands of cocks? That sounds like a humanitarian contribution to society.

Easily one of the creepiest old lizards in Hollywood. A minimum of 3/4 of those guys only did it because he's a famed director, and most of those whores are probably still in counseling over it. The remaining 1/4 were as grotesque as he is.

He was well-spoken in the Halston documentary on HBO. Didn’t seem creepy at all.

[quote]If he's been sexually active since he was a teen, three times a week for 65 years gets you to 10,000 easily. I'm sure Andy Cohen's had more.

It doesn’t even have to be a “per week “ metric. One visit to a bath house (which people his age indulged in, frequently) can produce 10-20 sex partners I OBE night (that takes care of six of those “weeks” ). An orgy (again, as he says, very available to people in his position) or a drug-fueled weekend binge, bam, 10 and 10 right there.

Then there’s the occasional tea rooms, circuit parties, back rooms, porno palaces and peep show booths. 15, 5, 20, 7, 5, boom.

It adds up. And many gay men have lived an entire lifetime like that, even when they’re partnered. Those of you with monogamous lifestyles can’t just be in denial. It is, after all, how an epidemic that counted on the spread of a virus via intimate anal relations caught up with an entire generation. We lived, we died, we survived, we learned. Don’t act like Puritan prisspots..

in ONE night

Oh! I thought he sucked so much cock he was awarded the Order of the British Empire.

^^😄^^

He still may, once Charles becomes King.

[quote]He still may, once Charles becomes King.

I'll decide when Charles gets his cock sucked and by whom!

I loved the interview and I like that he's very forthright, but he's an idiot for saying that children can be seductive. They cannot. End of.

But fuck the interviewer for keep pushing Schumacher to feel that he's been abused.  It's fine for the interviewer to challenge him but to keep trying to draw some hidden pain out of him is disgraceful and an embarrassment.

Isn't this how Gerard Butler got the lead role in Schumacher's Phantom of the Opera movie?

Whore!

How many were children?

Even if you're ultra-promiscuous, 10,000 - 20,000 is a LOT.

Dementia

That's not normal. No wonder the AIDS hit the community so severely.

he introduced colin ferrel to the cinema world….and to cock cant u see colin sitting on the old pharts face? pullin open his ass hole real good so jo can get his long tongue way up in that ass canal deep?

The idea only handsome people have sex is laughable. You don't even need to be handsome to have sex. Everyone is having sex. We're at a 7 billion capacity. My oldest brother has had as many as 3k women, easily. It's not really that hard. Real world is something else.

He should have spent more time making better movies.

Fucking freak. We can't bury scum like this soon enough.

You call that an achievement?

Very few people would find such an admission laudable. I always wonder what goes through someone's head when he announces something like this, as if people are going to applaud or it somehow makes the person more interesting.

Joel, the tittering in the background is embarrassment for you, not laughing with you.

There is nothing wrong with having many partners. There is nothing wrong with enjoying sex. There is something rather vulgar about bragging about it.

Good article very candid about those he worked with. He wanted armie hammer to play halston not Ewan mcgregor.

Of Datalounge hates him because....well, you already know why.

When I look at pics of Halston, I think of actors like Richard E. Grant. I suppose he must in his sixties now.

Doesn't he own a farm in South Carolina?

So, these partners were voluntary?

I'm surprised I'm not rotten to the core considering the insane number of people I've had sex with. At least I have healthy cut flora with all that diversity. :)

He's a DataLounger.

He sucked Rob Lowe's cock when he cast him in St. Elmos. Rob has pretty much admitted it.

How far up his own ass does he need to be that he thinks have 10,000 sexual partners is not unusual....?

Yeah I am sure in the circle him and Bryan Singer travel in its not, but you guys are obsessive sexual predators.

Joel Schumacher disgusts me. Not so much because of how many men he’s slept with (though his numbers are abnormal), but because of what he did to the Batman franchise.

It's a great, honest and unapologetic interview. Children most certainly can be seductive. All of life and literature and art tells us so. Schumaker say it is adult responsibility to never act on it. I like that he neither defends or condemns Michael Jackson and Bryan Singer, but expresses real sympathy to all young victims of abuse. He doesn't feel he was one, though he was sexually active from a young age.

His comments about HIV and loss, unsafe sex and drug use, his own lack of talent vs. the critics - all of it was very illuminating. 20,000 people is a gross number to have had sex with. He didn't say how he felt about it, only that life was different then. His comments about Julia Roberts, Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones and child actors were dishy if not the whole truth. Who gives a fuck about Batman?

[quote]He sucked Rob Lowe's cock when he cast him in St. Elmos. Rob has pretty much admitted it

Link, please!

who didn't suck mr lowe off????

So he was always ugly and creepy.

It’s a very good interview!

R46, Colin Farrell, as well.

I like my tricks to feel special.

And yet there's no one on DL admitting to having been with him. I wonder how many times he had a VD of some kind.

"And she was in my arms in the back of a car, sobbing. Her mascara was rolling down her eyes... I said, “Julia, I wish I could tell you that this is a one-off kind of thing. But you have to become very strong now because you’re a phenomenon. And everything in the world from the highest praise to shit like this is going to happen to you.” And she looked up at me, crying, and said, “I never needed to be this famous.” And it was so profound"

POOR JULIA ROBERTS!!

I had no idea he was gay. This explains A LOT about Batman & Robin.

Another gross, smarmy, "sexually liberated" Boomer that can't bite the dirt soon enough. God I wish that generation would just die already.

"Everyone is having sex."

Um, no.

BUMP

Jason Patric slept with him to get the lead in The Lost Boys.

He’s not a slut, he’s The Slut!

I would bet a lot of the young stars he "discovered" had to suck or fuck him.

Jason Patric

Kiefer Sutherland

Chris O'Donnell

Colin Farrell (that goes without saying)

Gerard Butler

Campbell Scott

Brad Renfro

Patrick Wilson

Rob Lowe

LOL!!

R2 clearly shows that there nacreous layer of permacum

R64, From that list, I'd take Patrick Wilson.

Well, honey at r67, maybe someday you can grow up to be a big Hollywood producer and director like Joel Schumacher and make whomever you choose fuck you.

r36 isn't a homophobic piece of shit AT ALL.

Fine, if you really want to cheapen the sexual act to the point where it loses all meaning and is stripped of any spiritual dimension: just bodies using other bodies for disposable pleasure.

So shoot me: I'm an old eldergay hippie who believes sexual energy is to be used sparingly, with people for whom you feel some degree of commitment and responsibility. I believe rampant promiscuity is ultimately damaging to the soul. Unpopular, outdated, and no doubt scoff-worthy opinions, I know.

[quote] Don’t act like Puritan prisspots..

So you're actually saying that if someone registers concern or disapproval that someone else famous boasts to the press he fucked 10-20,000 guys, that first someone must therefore be "a Puritan prisspot."

Wow.

R68, What makes you think I'm not one now?

R70 - Hear Hear.

R59 you’re just an awful person.

R70, who are you to judge what "cheapens the sexual act" (oof, you know this one's a piece of work)? Why should two contenting adults want to be "just bodies using other bodies for disposable pleasure" then what possible business could it be of yours, and what concern?

Photo of R70, below...

^That should read, "If two contenting adults want to be "just bodies using other bodies for disposable pleasure"..."

^^consenting. Oh forget it. Maybe I had my brains fucked out and R70 is right.

R29 "How many were children?"

You're a fucking degenerate cunt. You're probably dreaming about sex with children while awake.

I just have a different take on casual sex than you, R75. Not necessarily right or wrong, just different. Being somewhat cautious and selective about whom you have sex with because you find anonymous encounters ultimately hollow and ungratifying is not the same as being prudish. I'm not judging you.

W H O R E

r78 Look it up, sparky -- Schumacher is pretty well known to have exploited young male actors, most notably Brad Renfro.

Total fucking degenerate, can't die horribly of some kind of dignity-destroying cancer soon enough.

I don't believe any Brad Renfro story about Schumacher. Renfro was 11 years old when he was cast in The Client. The interviewer goes quite hard in this line of questioning. Youthful abuse and youthful promiscuity. He's brave enough to raise questions about Spielberg and Singer too. Gay men have a #MeToo call to answer. But rumors are not facts. There are all kinds of abuse in the film industry. Schumacher seems to have some conscience about Renfro and asks himself if the kid would have been better or with his very disturbed, heroin addicted family who sold him off to films in the first place. Joel's answer about the Coreys is pretty confusing. If any one of us confronted one instance of this kind of thing in our life or family - it stays with us forever. Schumacher presents it a bit more sadly as a fact of life in the pursuit of show business dream, especially for children.

This old bad director spend 20 years on speed in a speedo having non stop sex in those gross fire pines of ugly Fire Island. I seriously doubt that he fucked around with an 11 year old boy. Did he blow a HUGE number of famous actors that we all know? For sure. He's pretty honest while protecting the names of the blown. Cuz lots of fools in the unsophisticated world and even MORE of them here on Datalounge, would say that an actor MUST be gay if he let a lisping director suck him off to secure a job!! How hard is that? That's up to the cocksucker.

Schumacher says that Hollywood movie making is a much tougher business than people know. Directors and casting agents aren't social workers. But they are in a position to abuse. Doesn't always happen as predicted AND the usual suspects may not be the most guilty. The same with those assumed to be GAY.

He's a bit of the gay man as court jester, but nowhere near as arch, scuzzy and doomed as his old friend Halston. I look down of bush dwelling sex pigs. I do. But he neither defends it or apologizes for it and that's the sign of a smart mature man. The interviewer kept the conversation very much in the area or Schumacher's failings and the rumors about him. There is always the possibility that those who confess to so much dark behavior and impulsive sex are hiding even darker sins. Let his accusers come forward. Now is the time.

I would never let him blow me. But I would for a good part. Why didn't they just ask him about that?

Good fer him, he sucked a lot of hot young stars dicks and assholes. And made them stars....touche!

Straight men's assholes?

Friend now deceased worked with Joel in window dressing in the 1970s. Joel was very low-end and common and had very bad teeth--as I recall the story, it was so long ago.

Apart from the sex themes, this is a great interview. So much don't-give-a-fuck-anymore gossip.

We need more old guys like him ams Quincy Jones spilling in the media.

Any chance Clint Eastwood will talk before he croaks? Or Michael Douglas?

hell no, clint very close lipped bout his early cock sucking climbing the ladder days....

doubt douglas had to do that....unless he was high.

brad pitt sure dam did! and colin….and rob lowe….etc

He seems like the type that likes wearing panties.

^^^ You say that like it’s a bad thing?

R64, I'd remove Kiefer, who, no doubt had strong industry connections through his father. And already had some success with Stand By Me. Jason Patric also had the benefit of nepotism. His father is Jason Miller (The Exorcist) and his grandfather was Jackie Gleason.

100% believe Gerard Butler and Colin Farrell. There were a lot of side eyes when Butler, without any singing ability, landed the POTO role. That was also around the time when there were a lot of gay rumors about him.

[quote]I'd remove Kiefer, who, no doubt had strong industry connections through his father.

Ditto Campbell Scott.

I admit I did giggle a bit at the comment about Campbell Scott being "discovered" by Schumacher. Ehhh no. Campbell Scott didn't need to be discovered.

This is why *I* hate us

I always thought he was a hack, now I think he’s a sleazy hack!

Yeah, but he's an authentic sleazy hack who cops to everything he's done. I respect that!

A mutual physical attraction.

The Divine Miss M comments:

“In an interview, 80 year-old director Joel Schumacher said he's had sex with 10-20,000 men. More power to him. I fucked up my back just reading about it!”

Why would Rob Lowe have needed to fuck him for a role in St. Elmo's Fire?

Who is Campbell Scott’s family? Ridley and Tony? Never mind googling.

George C.?

OK I googled. His parents are George C. and Colleen Dewhurst

Don't exaggerate. Nobody had to fuck Schumacher. Just let the old cocksucker do his job. I let men suck my dick for cash and gifts too when I was in college. Joel is obviously a ditchpig cocksucker or he would be dead of AIDS decades ago.

That’s pretty well-connected r101.

keifer Sutherland? nasty....smells of booze and cigs and crack and body odor from every orifice on his fugly body.

he pissed himself the time I blew him, passed out and was covered in piss, grossest john I ever serviced. even the hundred dolla bills he gave me smelled like bad crack..

How come none of the boys he blew have sued him for molestation?

r10, that 3 different men a week for 65 years. So to get that high one must never have been in a relationship? No repeats? How do you have all that time even if you have an open relationship.

R105 He was just that good

Why would Henry Cavill and Michael Fassbender need to fuck him for a role in a low budget horror flick? R98

Good grief...that is just sick. 20,000?

Where exactly do you meet 20.000 gay men? I mean most gay communities are pretty small and you meet the same people over and over again. Even on apps you often see the same profiles. You constantly have to move to different cities or countries to fuck different men every day/week.

Didn’t he say he spent a decade in a speedo on fire island doing meth as a young man, I’m sure that racked up a majority of his 10,000?

I presume most encounters were giving head at a gloryhole.

She is one lazy sister!

This seems to be a humblebrag by an elderly gay who clearly doesn't know how to count. 10,000 to 20,000 is too much of a variance. It sounds like, "let me throw out a shockingly high number to impress you".

I'm not impressed. He should have had a good 8-10 years of lower sex behavior due to the AIDS crisis.

This sounds like he abused his power to nab younger gay (or straight men) in the industry. That is what he is really copping to - he's a lech and abuser. Or a sex addict. Or both.

"[R10], that 3 different men a week for 65 years. So to get that high one must never have been in a relationship? No repeats? How do you have all that time even if you have an open relationship."

R106 It doesn't requiere that much time when you're sexually compulsive as it appears to be the case with Schumacher. You may end up devoting every free minute to cruising and scoring, and if he hanged out in places like the Pines or Griffith Park, he would have probably scored with 2 or 3 guys in an afternoon or end up in a group sex scene or an orgy. And if you're in a relationship with another compulsive, you score guys for each other. I have a friend who claims 15,000 guys. He's a successful guy who goes out to the sex store 4 or 5 times a week after work. so he ends up having sexual contact with some 5-10 guys a week, times 52 that's 250 a year, at least. He's in his late 50's so you do the math.

[quote]he would have probably scored with 2 or 3 guys in an afternoon or end up in a group sex scene or an orgy.

A person can go to the Ramble in Central Park at night and score 6-8 men per night from April to October. Or so a friend has told me.

blowjobs in park, glory holes, or at beach don't count....has to be a ho u take home or to hotel or to sex store.

I’m glad he got some cock out of all those shitty movies he lobbed out over the years.

Cumdumps can get 4-8 a night

[quote][R10], that 3 different men a week for 65 years. So to get that high one must never have been in a relationship? No repeats? How do you have all that time even if you have an open relationship.

You’re distributing his total number of encounters evenly and neatly resulting in a weekly rate throughout his lifetime. That’s not how it works. As previously and repeatedly stated upthread, a one-evening session, whether it’d be an orgy, a park or a bathhouse , could fairly easily rack up a dozen sexual encounters, especially when drugs, cruising and/or hook-up tools were involved.

[quote]blowjobs in park, glory holes, or at beach don't count....

Says you? I’m sure Mr.S. begs to differ. A blowjob encounter resulting in a full orgasm by one of the parties constitutes a sexual encounter in almost anyone’s book. Setting, dinner, candlelights, romance, and beds are extra amenities.

Love to see him eat Colin F's asshole out....layin under his ass, his face full of ass juice, his long thin grey hair flopping bout his head...colin moanin like a cow . " o fuk yea"

JS is a well known paedo/paedo-appologist, just like GVS, and JS is THE classic example of someone who suffered a lot of sexual abuse as a child or teen, and then goes onto sexually abuse others who are not of age and adults. SS is also a creepy paedo as well. It is not a surprise JS is a total hypocrite claiming the whole "I was not sexually abused!" and touting the fake as hell #metoo BS when it is well known he has used the casting couch or his power/nepotism to sleep with bisexual and gay actors, and that #metoo has not stopped the real predatory types like JS.

Cut this number in half and maybe it would be more accurate. Also if you read the interview Joel claims he used condoms in the 1960s and 1970s and very few gay men did this. His brain is fried from all the METH he used, as well as other drugs, and it is not surprising he defends Woody Allen who sexually abused Soon Yi.

I have a gay friend in his late 70s who came out as an adult in the mid 1960s and all through the 1960s, 1970s, until about the very early 1980s would go to glory holes and tea-rooms or public sex places on an almost daily basis and suck off multiple men and get sucked by a man, sometimes would go to the baths or saunas while traveling for work and suck off or fuck men there, or pick men up in bars and suck or get sucked by them, he would sometimes fuck or get fucked but just by men he was dating or friends with; but was a lot more into oral and and he estimates he's been with 1,000 men or close to it. He believes that because he was more into oral sex and when HIV/AIDS was called GRIDS or it was thought to be a 'cancer' he started using condoms and being a lot more picky about who he had sex with that is why he stayed HIV neg while everyone else he was friends or peers with in his age group who was bisexual or gay died from HIV/AIDS. He also did not have sex with every single guy who he met who wanted to have sex the way a lot of men did, and in the early 1980s he told me about going to a small orgy of 8 men and just fucking two of them safely using condoms and by the late 1980s only he and one other guy who were at the orgy were alive.

True R119 I have know bottoms who liked and still do, go to the baths or saunas, present hole, and try to take on as many men as they can up their ass in the night or multiple days they are there. Of course drugs and low self-esteem are to play at this, or they are HIV+ out about it with + or biohazard tattoos or tell the men they want it raw/bare and are HIV+ and that they only get with other HIV+ men.

THIS is why they hate us!

R125 LOL, I was just about to type that.

Joel should have laid off the cock and paid better attention to his crap movies.

r126, what's going on in the background of that picture. Looks like the guy is excited to see such tawdry events and his wife is saying, "Can we please get out of here?"

20,000 lovers

High but not unusual for gay men of his generation. Any one of you eldergays had him?

But he did find time to make the most unpretentious and pure fun Batman films this side of camp. RIP and thank you Joel.
