Male celebrities who have had sugar daddies

Charles and Camilla

Jesus

Anyone who ever spent more than a night at Geffen's place. He is a very generous man.

I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it.

Was Brad Pitt ever a kept man?

Zac Efron, he's had "lots of older men" Not me though! I have seen Zac at the Chateau Marmont's bar more than a few times. When I have business or meet clients in LA, I stay at the Chateau.

Wasn't Ms. Seacrest rumored to have been the boytoy of Merv Griffin?

I had forgotten about Seacrest. It is sad that I have heard about him again. I hope he is happy with that girl he french kissed in front of the press on some 'romantic' beach....

Bradley Cooper -- allegedly kept by Victor Garber and his boyfriend

Lee Majors -- allegedly kept by Rock Hudson

Tony Danza -- also allegedly kept by Merv Griffin

Deny Terio (host of "Dance Fever" on TV) -- also allegedly kept by merv Griffin

Other celebrities who have been supposed to be kept by men (I forget by whom) Brad Pitt, Clint Eastwood

R9 Clint Eastwood would dispute that.

James van der Beek -- allegedly kept by Kevin Williamson (although this is highly disputed)

If you can't prove it --- didn't happen.

Bobby Sherman,,,,"discovered" by Sal Mineo.

Julius Caesar

Tom Daley.

Tom Daley is an issue, for sure.

A quick Google image search for Tony Danza/Merv Griffin locates several images of the two looking chummy...

[quote] Tony Danza/Merv Griffin

I have never heard of either of them.

Lance is broke. He relies on Daley who has a Daddy somewhere Geffen?

Was Seann William Scott ever kept?

What about the whole Keanu/Geffen connection?

Aladdin

Horse DLB

You sound quite proud of your stupidity since you clearly do not even know how to use Google to find out who they are.

Eddie Fisher and Eddie Cantor.

Clark Gable allegedly got George Cuckor fired from GWWT because he was Cuckor's kept boy.

Apparently Bradley Cooper dated older men when he was on Alias, including Victor Garber.

Alex Pettyfer, when he was still a twink in England, was said to rely on the kindness of old gents.

Tom Ford and Richard Buckley.

Porn studio owner Michael Lucas and his rich sugar daddy who financed his porn studio for years.

Weren't there rumours about Tom Cruise as well? I forgot who the alleged sugar daddy was though.

I would think Marky Mark at some point was sucking cocks and had older gentlemen assisting him with his career -- it's not like his inexplicable rise to the top was due to innate talent.

Calvin Klein fucked Marky Mark for sure.

Tom Cruise was kept by Ralph Lauren R30.

Prince Harry is being kept by Tyler Perry.

r33, was that before or after David Geffen gave Tom a make-over (like, new teeth) and put him in movies?

Victor brought Bradley as his date to the Emmys.

Edd Byrnes, who played Kookie on 77 SUNSET STRIP. At age 17, he began to work as a photographer’s model and was drawn into male hustling with wealthy older men that introduced him to a “strange world” of “art, wealth, sadism, limousines, sex for money, theater and fine restaurants,” Byrnes wrote in his 1996 autobiography, “ ’Kookie’ No More.”

R33, you’ve got your rumor wrong. There has never been any personal or business connection between Tom Cruise and Ralph Lauren. If so, please post evidence of any sort.

Tom Cruise wore Ralph Lauren's underwear.

I remember an older thread where someone mentions Keanu and Chad Everett. Really?

Terrence McNally and Edward Albee

Darren Criss

R28, I've never heard that. I heard it was because Gable didn't want to be directed by a homosexual or by a "woman's director," which is what Cukor (not Cuckor) was known as. Cukor continued to coach the film's actresses--who didn't like manly-man Victor Fleming--at his home on the weekends.

The Gable Cukor thing seems like a stretch. But maybe Clark was down for one of Cukor’s “clinical blowjobs.”

R37 Fascinating, I’ve never heard of him before, but want to know more.

As much as I support homosexuals and find homosexuality another beautiful form of love between two people, IF these younger men were not gay and doing it for $, then it's just as nasty as gold-diggers like Melania. The older men participating in such affairs with younger and poorer men/women are pathetic. Don't the realize nobody would want them without the dollars? Like Larry King and that Mormon woman...ewwww

Someone just arrived here through a celebrity internet search.

Go away R46. You are not welcome here.

[quote] IF these younger men were not gay and doing it for $, then it's just as nasty as gold-diggers like Melania.

Insecure rich people (gay or straight) parade their trophy wives, mistresses, or boy toys around to impress their peers. There is an actual demand in so-called gold-diggers.

R49 - but why would people like this need to validate their success with someone who EVERYONE knows would never be with them if they weren't paid? They must know deep inside that they are being used and that everyone else knows too and is snickering behind their backs.

r46 has a great point. Just saying.

R45, here’s a link to Edd Byrnes’ book on Amazon. Looks like it’s out of print and getting expensive.

I thought that the book was brave and incredibly honest. I can’t think of any other celebrity, of recent years, that admitted to anything similar in their past... although you know it happened a lot.

r50, you're kidding. Right?

Being so rich that you can afford your own sex slave, a human pet which can perform all kinds of neat tricks? You think these rich people have actual high standard morals about how to treat other non-rich people?

R53, if two people are getting something out a relationship, what difference does it make to anyone except them? It’s not about morals.

Please take your straight frau SJW comments someplace else. You are derailing this thread, or was that your intention?

When my folks immigrated to the US in the early 80's, they worked as property managers in a luxury building in West Hollywood and almost all the residents were affluent gay men. I was 9 and lived there for 7 years. I vividly recall seeing a few men around the beautiful pool and gardens who looked very ill and my dad explaining that they had AIDS. One particular fellow was older and he lived in the penthouse and he was always at the pool, always with a different handsome young guy who would stay at his place a few months to a year. When he got sick and then died, not one of those guys materialized to see him or was there except his sister who took care of EVERYTHING. In the last days he had a nurse and my dad and mom would sometimes go to see how he was and all (he was a cool guy, loved my dad's paintings). This is the reason I personally do not think there is any true love in these relationships.

r54, Fuck off yourself if you can't follow a discussion and which comment I replied to.

[quote] Brad Pitt

He had a booster - if not an outright benefactor - in writer Thom Racina.

[quote] This is the reason I personally do not think there is any true love in these relationships.

True love is rare and some never experience it, because they believe they don't deserve true love. And just to be clear: Obsessing about other people's failure in love only creates a self-fulfilling prophecy for yourself where you observe conditions and think they must be true for you, too.

Clark Gable was afflicted with Phimosis, a tight foreskin that does not retract. This caused him problems with, ahem, personal hygiene. My dear friend, George Cukor, discovered this first hand when Clark was young and available for rent. George let this be known to other single gentlemen within his Hollywood circle. Clark was not amused. And that, Datalounge lads, is why Victor Fleming directed Gone With The Wind. George never kept Clark. He preferred to buy his cheese at the Hollywood Market. -Livie DeH

R55, there is a difference between love and sex. Love can be free, and sex can cost money.

R19, Have you heard of "Jeopardy!"? How about "Wheel of Fortune"? Maybe "Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips"?

Don't advertise your ignorance.

R59 - agree on the self-fulfilling prophecy but it was a pretty impressionable thing to see at 11 years old and it's pretty hard to forget those times even if you were the kid of immigrants because you were kind of in the eye of the storm. Seeing apartments become vacant, my dad coming from a tenant's apartment looking forlorn and calling the owner to say so and so had died of AIDS. Just a real prep for this hell of a crisis we are in now. I really think that this time, the whole sugar daddy thing will die off and everything will change.

A former escort said that you can never buy one's love, but you can pay for someone's pleasant company.

Looking at the flip side there’s Liberace and Scott Thorson and all the stuff that went on behind the candelabra.

R54, you're derailing the thread with your right-wing complaints about SJWs. Most "fraus" are Trumpsters, not liberals

Getting back on the topic....Colin Farrell was "discovered" by Kevin Spacey. Robert Urich was "discovered" by Burt Reynolds

Dear r63, don't walk, RUN to the nearest shrink to deal with your issues. Nobody at DL can help you with that.

[quote]Tom Cruise wore Ralph Lauren's underwear.

Ew! I hope he washed it first!

Yeah, r34, what IS the story there?? I mean ...Tyler Perry? Madea?!

Harry must be mortified that his life and his wife are strictly about money and the grubbing for it, not about service, nor classiness, nor royalty or history....nothing but the crassest raison d'etre.

Brad Davis was so beautiful and bisexual, were there gentleman callers who gave him a leg up in the business?

R69 - it is pretty obvious what the story is. She was a low grade "actress" and, as a drifter with zero intellect or taster standards, found someone who would let her crash at their pad.

Tbh I don't know that Harry is smart enough to be mortified. He clearly has the same low standards as her if he even accepted her and puts up with the situation. Water settles at it's own level.

Might Brian J. Smith had a better career in Hollywood if he had one? Is it too late?

Prostitution is the world's oldest profession...so nothing has changed there! I say this without judgement - but it does make you see Hollywood/entertainment business very differently.

Lee Majors "befriended" Rock Hudson

R71 "Prince Harry Says ‘Life Has Changed Dramatically’ After L.A. Move With Meghan Markle" But he does not say, "mortified." Are these couch surfers even paying rent?

I had no idea about Brad Pitt and a lot of the men stated here, tbh. It's an education! I googled Thom Racina and a few threads on other sites came up, along with some photos of him and Brad Pitt.

Thom Racina: But Brad did something for me. People say, “Oh you gave him his start, he doesn’t talk to you anymore.” I say that people come into our each other’s lives for a certain time. Sometimes it’s a lifetime, other times it’s for certain times and you do not mourn that. You take that and say, “This was a wonderful thing.” He kept telling me, “You’ve got to write a movie, you’ve got to write another book.” He wanted to play a psychopath. So I wrote my book, “Snow Angel.” which got me out of daytime, because of Brad. He pushed me to do that book. Every time I talked it out with him I got a new idea. He was eager to play it, now he’s too big a star to do it. But he gave me that renewed interest in going back to writing novels.

R67 - thank you, did got to therapy and ended up becoming an NP. Some experiences lead some of us in a good place. On the topic of this thread, we had a VERY sexy trainer at my gym near Calabasas. African-American, married to a churchy African-American lady, very active in the church, etc. Well, one day, he vanished and the other trainers and teachers said KEVIN HART had laid eyes on this fellow and he immediately took him home, bought him a house next to his house, a Rover, and hired him as his "trainer, and personal assistant" and the rumor was that they were lovers but because of the way the African-American community is and Kevin's image and audience...he was still with his "wife" who stayed behind in their condo.

What's a "NP"?

Eastwood was director Arthur Lubin's, erm, "protege."

Bruce Willis bought expensive gifts for Aaron Carter.

When he first broke into show business, Clark Gable allowed William "Billy" Haines to orally service him. Haines was a major star, Gable was nothing. Haines and Cukor were good friends and Gable could not stand to be directed every day by Cukor on "GWTW", aware that Cukor knew of his past wirh Haines. Gable lobbied to have Cukor replaced by Victor Fleming.

Anyone here still any connections to Hollywood? I wonder what it's like these days or is it all closeting

John travolta?

R78 - a nurse practitioner. I FINALLY got it after years of study and breaking my back as an RN, first in ICU, and after I hit 36, I was not able to be as hard-core as the ICU level requires and this hell with the coronavirus hit and I am shitting bricks that they will summon me back to the ICU if things get really bad out here the San Fernando Valley. I see wealthy Persians and other ethnic folks with no masks, having their usual 100 person dinners...it will hit the fan.

R82 - definite closeting among black athletes and celebrities in LA.

Thank you, R84/R77.

And apparently in hip-hop too, R85.

R15 Tom Daley is in the public eye since he was 13. People tend to forget that he was world champion at 15 and he is a celebrity on his own in UK

Liberace and Scott Thorson

R89, are you also R65?

Barry DIller and that talk show host.

[bold] The One Where Eldergays Fantasize About The Hot Young Men Of Their Jerk Off Fantasies Being Kept By Wealthy Older Men

Peter Thiel and Seann William Scott

what about rimming

[quote] Peter Thiel and Seann William Scott

whaaaat

Wasn’t there stuff about John Mayer and Shawn Mendes and then Charlie Puth and also Bieber and Usher? Where are those stories?

Duke of Buckingham

Rock Hudson when he moved to Hollywood from Illinois.

He'd move in with a guy for a few months then move out when a more prominent and influential man in the business came along.

Adam Garcia, and this I've known for a fact!

r97, he was the original rich man's mister-ess

Marquis de Lafayette

James Dean had a sugar daddy before he hit it big

[quote] He'd move in with a guy for a few months then move out when a more prominent and influential man in the business came along.

so THAT's why they called him The Duchess

Tony Curtis

r34 Who'd wanna keep a rapidly aging British ginger?

I could use a sugar daddy at this time. I'm no spring chicken anymore, but I'm physically fit and look a lot younger than I actually am.

[quote] Being so rich that you can afford your own sex slave, a human pet which can perform all kinds of neat tricks? You think these rich people have actual high standard morals about how to treat other non-rich people?

Do reality stars count??

R96: Bieber was a popular singer on youtube, Usher realized he could cash on that and he produced his album or something like that, they even made a duet.

And that's all, Bieber was like 14 and Usher was very well known back then. I think it was probably more an estrategy from to make look legit someone who was a social media star. People forgot it, but back then radio was very reluctant to play people who were internet famous. Bieber spent years without having a pop radio top ten hit (i think Boyfriend was his first top 10 hit on radio). Even Shawmn Mendes who came a good bunch of years after had a lot of trouble to get airplay at the beginning of his career (in Mendes case without the success of Stitches he would be over before the start)

Steve Antin and David Geffen

David Geffen has hired young male actors and porn stars for years and years, sometimes having them live with him for a while (like Steve Antin--I know he also regularly hired Joey Stefano for a while, and may have had him live with him too). not so recently, during the Jarec Wentowrth trial, it was revealed that gorgeous gay porn performer Justin Matthews knows Geffen well--and is afraid of him.

[quote]I could use a sugar daddy at this time. I'm no spring chicken anymore, but I'm physically fit and look a lot younger than I actually am.

I'm taking applications ...

One guy I went to college with "befriended" a real estate tycoon and lived with him for years (ostensibly to be his "assistant")

R111 Do tell more, why does Justin live in fear?

I wish I had a sugar daddy.

[quote]I could use a sugar daddy at this time. I'm no spring chicken anymore, but I'm physically fit and look a lot younger than I actually am.

For your age group, I believe you'd better use a sugar granddaddy.

I am too surprised about Peter Thiel being a sugar daddy. He is extremely private and secretive and the public would not have known he was gay without the Gawker article.

r115, see r112.

Have you considered becoming a houseboy?

Male model/“singer” Baptiste Giabiconi was allegedly kept by Karl Lagerfeld.Rumours have abound for years that Christopher Atkins has had “help” from various older men over the decades.There was the whole Nick Gruber/Calvin Klein debacle of a few years past.Andy Warhol went on record as saying that Joe Dallesandro had a succession of sugar daddies.Most of the biographies of James Dean mention a TV producer that kept him for awhile.And the Brad Pitt/Racina talk has been persistent. These things are almost impossible to completely verify because of course the keepee isn’t ever going to go on record to admit being kept.Too much stigma attached.Edd Byrnes is the exception to the rule.It’s way more common in the gay world than you’d expect I think.And show biz as everyone knows by now is rife with transactional relationships.

Do we consider Simon Doonan to be Jonathan Adler’s Sugar Dadd?

r116 If the price is right, I'll take it!

I just want to be a daddy but I can't supply the sugar.

What about a NutraSweet daddy?

Has Spacey kept anybody?

Any straight men who had a sugar daddy simply for the financial benefits?

David Geffen was Keanu Reeves. Daddy Keanu was Tiger Chen's sugar daddy. David helped Keanu get work and Keanu financed a movie for Tiger Chen.

r125, Colin Farrell and a bunch of British twinks

I wish I was rich enough to be a sugar daddy, doubt I would if I had the money but knowing the option was there would be nice.

Rupert Everett when he was a young rentboy. Before he grew into a miserable twat and then a plastic surgery misshapen ghoul
