What IS Ronan Farrow?

A little stubble makes all the difference...

So sexy.

Stud of my dreams.

According to Finding Your Roots, mamma Mia and Ronan Farrow are distant relations to......

Jane Lynch

...and a full-on lesbian here.

I don't get it.

He's a two face!

He's a little nebbish named Satchel trying to plastic surgery himself into a blue-eyed Italian.

R7 Basically true, but my concern is what is driving my Rosemary's Baby horror fantasy of lying down and being mounted by the guy at R3 and R2 and then opening my eyes midway through to discover a weird looking porcelain doll with a blond bob and tiny doll hands penetrating me. I feel like he may have been manufactured in Satan's toy workshop...and part of me likes it!

He looked good on CNN last night

He has perfect skin no matter what, and his features are distinctive but overall attractive. His lady-executive haircut and lesbian chic style of dress is disorienting, though. Is he nonbinary now? Or is he a lesbian in a gay man's body? Or transitioning? Or is it just wrong to ask because he is a Millennial?

R7 nailed it. Time to stop with the plastic surgery, Satchel, before you uncanny valley yourself into oblivion.

OK, I give, what was the Jeopardy clue for this answer?

Zhir, Jan!

R12 "This clip from the hit sitcom Seinfeld meets Rosemary's Pulitzer Prize-winning baby."

He looks good in instagram photos, which are filtered and shopped. He looks weird in real life interviews.

I guess OP is the obsessive who has to start a thread saying "Ronan looks trans" every time Ronan makes a public appearance, and honestly I think it's some of the more freakish behavior on DL. We're no stranger to people with personality disorders, but we're on what must be the 50th "Ronan looks like a tranny!" thread and it's officially really fuckin' weird.

He's got some big muscular arms in that tight white v-neck t-shirt.

R16 Yes, there is some sad fat queen on here who keeps beating the Ronan is Trans or About To Transition drum.

It's tiresome.

R16 OP here. I have noted that he looks transgender because he often does look transgender to me. I don't exactly troll him for it. I admire his reporting, as I have said I find him very attractive at times, and I am certainly not one of the DL's resident transgender bashers. (I'm the opposite if you want to check my history; I typically defend trans people and argue with hateful gay people until I become exhausted.)

I understand if you are annoyed by some of my posts. I can be annoying. I try to be kind of funny sometimes and that may fall flat sometimes.

The reason I have posted about Farrow's appearance is as I describe above: I am legitimately intrigued by it. He is conventionally handsome at times, sometimes very pretty, and sometimes androgynously doll-like. To say it neutrally, I just find that "interesting" from an aestheric standpoint. Most people typically have one face that can be lit differently to look better or worse, but Farrow looks physically different in many of his photos. It's weird and I find it weirdly intruiguing.

I admire his work. Overall, I find him attractive. I don't care about his personal family dramas. His little bitty hands freak me out a little, but everyone has quirks.

I knew a rock musician that crushed his face in a horrific motorcycle in the 90’s and almost his entire face is a titanium plate. He looks hot, youthful but with no emotion. And doesn’t tab evenly.

Ronan reminds me of this guy.

Tan, not tab

He is Frank Sinatra’s long lost gay son. Shares zero DNA with Woody Allen.

He looks like Frank, no?

He certainly looks a lot like Frank here, but the gurls say he gets work done to appear that way.

Ronan Farrow is:

the look of wonder on a child’s face on Christmas morning

Ronan Farrow is:

the smell of freshly washed laundry on a summer morning

He is starting to look like Linda McCartney. Weird.

I've noticed this as well. Sometimes, I think he's gorgeous and then, at other times, he looks like an emotionless, smooth mannequin or puppet. I can't imagine him having sex or going to the bathroom. There's definitely something uncanny valley about him.

A whore

Aren’t the blue eyes allegedly false or are they real?

He’s definitely have shitload of plastic surgery. He reminds me of so many Jewish girls I knew and hung out with in H.S. and college. All of them hated ‘looking Jewish’. They were getting nose jobs and implants even back then.

Ronan is trying super hard to look WASPY and he’s going to look like a creepy face transplant patient before he’s 40.

What is he? A troubled person who seems not always able to distinguish reality from fantasy. That troubles me as he has a large public platform that could harm people if his "handicap" gets in the way.

You WILL NOT offend!

You WILL be infallible!

You WILL express yourself as we demand or face destruction!

You WILL bend to the United States of Woke!

You WILL NOT use epithets commonly used by non-white men!

You WILL tolerate a double standard due to your sex and race!

You WILL BE who we tell you to be!!

He's the funny valentine his father was singing about.

He looks like Woody's sister, Letty Aronson. They've even had similar plastic surgery. There's no way Sinatra was shooting anything but blanks by 1987.

R34 In 1987 Sinatra would have been 72. Entirely possible.

[quote]There's no way Sinatra was shooting anything but blanks by 1987.

You may want to ask Mick Jagger about fatherhood after 70.

The nose knows.

There is no way Ronan is Woody Allen's son, he looks so much like Frank Sinatra. Even their eyebrows are the same!

Have DL sleuths compared Ronan's hands etc with Sinatra's features?

Even though my coloring isn't the same as my father, we have the same hands, nose and head shapes. I have my mom's thick wavy hair. I get my height from my father's side, even though he wasn't super tall, his father and brothers were.

He looks exactly like Frank.

Frank looked a lot like Mia's father, John Farrow. Ronan resembles his grandfather, and he has had plastic surgery to make him look even more WASPy. He's Woody's kid--the brains alone tell you that. He also looked more like Woody when he had his old nose.

Link to old nose.

His hair is too, too blond.

He’s always looked just fine to me.

Uh, do you really think when Frank Sinatra was 70 he had the health and swagger of Mick Jagger? How fucking stupid can you be? Frank was hospitalized with diverticulitis in 1986. He was a frail man in ill health for the last several years of his life, he was not flying around impregnating ex-wives...

he's a troubled person with body dysmorphia.

We've been over this a million times. But because you all love night-time and day-time soaps, you are addicted to scenarios where characters turn out to be secretly someone else's child, so we have to go over this yet again.

The simple reason Mia looks like Frank Sinatra is because Mia had (and continues to have) a daddy complex--she married Frank because he looked so much like her father the director John Farrow (pictured at link). Ronan looks exactly his maternal grandfather.

Mia had no reason to fuck Frank Sinatra when she conceived Ronan--she was happily with Woody then.

That thumbnail the OP posted is hilarious.

Don Lemon looks like he smelled a fart.

So is this like a Chinatown-thing R46? Because how on earth could Ronan look like his grandfather? I have an IQ of 10, so explain please.

Merciful heavens, r48. You’re really not very bright, are you? Poor dear. Let’s be simple here. Genetic traits (like looks) are passed to a child from a parent. Mia inherited some of her father’s genes and passed them on to her own offspring, Ronan. Think about your own family. Or the families of friends. Can you remember anyone ever saying, “oh, he or she looks just like Grandma whatever”? It’s not inconceivable, no pun intended, without “China Town” scenarios.

[quote]oh, he or she looks just like Grandma whatever”?

No.

[quote]Mia inherited some of her father’s genes

So—wouldn’t he look like Mia? I know you really want him to be Woody’s kid, but...

He has Frank’s eyes.

And it’s Chinatown—not China Town.

Gyna Virus

You're right, R46. Ronan looks even more like Mia's dad in this one. I had no idea.

That’s okay, keep being a moron who lacks a basic science education.

[quote] What IS Ronan Farrow?

A plastic android boy-doll purchased by Mia Farrow at a satanic coven meeting. Fancies herself Truman Capote v. 2.0.

He Has His Father's Eyes

[quote]He was a frail man in ill health for the last several years of his life, he was not flying around impregnating ex-wives...

Plus he had had a vasectomy.

I wonder how many posts in the thread it would take for some tired queen troll to mention Frank Sinatra. R22 is the dubious winner.

Isn't Ronan barely taller than a dwarf? Didn't he have some kind of major surgery on his legs to lengthen them?

I find Ronan's intelligence really, really sexy...matched only by Jon's of course.

Does no one else see the resemblance?

R61 People here have discussed leg lengthening surgery, which seems dubious to say the least. But his hands are like 60 percent the size they should be and his head looks gigantic for his body, so I wouldn't be surprised if he has some sort of genetic condition.

His face is really attractive when he is styled like an everyday guy and doesn't look like a killer doll or like a lesbian.

His proportions are unusual. I don't care at all but it would be folly to pretend they're not.

He really does look like Walter Mercado from some angles.

[quote]He's Woody's kid--the brains alone tell you that.

Intelligence isn't entirely genetic, it's at least half environmental, and Woody wasn't around enough to have influenced Ronan's intellect.

Wikipedia cites the 2006 Kaufman-Lichtenberger study showing that there's only a 22% correlation in intelligence between a parent and a child living apart.

The claim that he's Allen's kid because "they're both smart" is ridiculous on its face and I can't believe anyone truly believes that in the first place, but if you do, know that the research doesn't really back you up.

Maybe he's one of those shape-shifting reptilian baby-eaters that the QAnon crowd go on about?

[quote]Didn't he have some kind of major surgery on his legs to lengthen them?

No, he contracted osteomyelitis of the long bones in both legs, and it required surgery to either get rid of the infection or repair the legs after the infection had been cleared.

The conspiracists claimed for years that Mia forced him to get surgery to make himself taller, and Woody repeated that a few months ago, because 99% of Woody's jabs against Mia (and, subsequently, Moses's jabs) come from the crazy corners of the internet these days.

Some people feel lucky to be rich and famous. I am eternally grateful for my unrich, unfamous, loving parents.

Wait, there are idiots here who still believe he’s Woody’s kid???!! lmfao.

I don't think Ronan looks much like Letty Aronson, but I do agree Letty has gone for the typical bland white lady look with her plastic surgery.

Ronan doesn't seem like he's had plastic surgery so much as massive amounts of facials and peels, lip fillers, and some questionable hair extensions. His nose is still pretty large and his eyes are getting hooded with age.

Are we sure he isn't Walter Mercado's son?

Ronan Farrow as a child. Look at the nose.

Woody Allen when younger. Same nose.

Pre plastic surgery teenage Ronan (old nose).

Youngish Woody Allen (with the nose he still has).

Fuck how he looks! I wanna know details. Dick size? Top/Bottom? How big is Lovett. SOMEONE has to know.

G: What's that?

R:. I've been to Vidal Sassoon!

G:. Don't tell me you paid for that?

I too kind of get the non-binary thing vibe with Ronan. It’s not a bad thing-it makes him very unique. He is good looking, but I think he is one of those people that needs to be en pointe or else he can look strange.

Ronan looks like Jared.

He seems like a good bloke.

His hair is a wig and yes he spent most of his teens in a wheelchair having his legs cranked longer because he’s a vain dwarf.

I agree. Sometimes he is stunning. Like model tier standard. Other times he is borderline ugly. Not just not hot, but ugly.

So strange.

If Ronan weren't Woody's son he would have let us know.

Well, I'm the real beauty in the family!

COME ON you guys, Everybody knows he is the son of Rosemary! Hail Satan! Hail Adrian!

R69 get real, how many cases have there been of someone contracting osteomyelitis in not one but both legs (as opposed to the feet, pelvis or vertebrae) and then needing extensive surgery to correct it? Adults who contract this infection usually do so by exposing a wound to staph bacteria—how would this have happened to otherwise healthy Ronan? Unless he’s omitting details where he was shot or gravely injured à la Ashley Judd. Standard treatment for this (and any other bacterial infection) is antibiotic treatment and then in extreme cases amputation if antibiotics don’t work. Ronan has never given any specifics about this condition and tells people he contracted the illness in Sudan with Mia, as if it’s easier to believe because he was in a developing country, but there’s not a higher incidence of infections there.

I think Ronan is going to eventually come out as trans. Doubt his husband is prepared for that.

I think he’s very handsome Op.

R88 An infection and a nevessary intervention like that also would be quite a coincidence given that his arms and hands are smaller than they would be for an average-sized man, as well. I think he has mild dwarfism.

And I also would be zero percent surprised if he were to come out as transgender. His style has transformed from cisgender male to something overtly feminized, especially the hair, and it does remind me of Caitlyn Jenner. He may just be a Millennial who has decided to adopt a nonbinary aesthetic, but I feel like his making himself into a defender of women plus the working-woman bob 'do are leading him toward becoming a transgender feminist icon.

Nothing I wrote above is with judgment. I am not one of DL's endless anti-trans trolls. I'm just saying what I am seeing and speculating because of what I am seeing. I don't imagine his personality or his work would be any different whether he presents as male or female or eunuch.

I've seen him in 'real life' and he is very handsome.

There is no doubt he has had some plastic surgery in his early 20's but he most certainly had some of Woody's features not to mention Woody's brains and wit. Also, no matter who bat shit crazy you may think Mia is she is also very bright.

As for his hair, plenty of people dye theirs and plenty of people wear colour contact lenses.

What about me and MY needs?!?!

Oooh, a unicorn just landed outside my window. Talk later!

[quote]how many cases have there been of someone contracting osteomyelitis in not one but both legs

You keep saying this but you have no medical background and you never give any links to back up your goofy medical claims.

Osteomyelitis can be infectious and passed on to others, it infects the bloodstream and moves throughout the body, so why COULDN'T it affect both legs, if it spread?

[quote]Standard treatment for this (and any other bacterial infection) is antibiotic treatment and then in extreme cases amputation if antibiotics don’t work.

Even a quick search shows you're wrong. Standard treatment is antibiotics, splinting or surgery.

She's transitioning to "Rona Farrow."

It's her and Mommy's next book, "Mia & Mea."

Some days he wants to be Frank. Some days he wants to be Mia.

R94 you’re still being ridiculous. Bone infections in BOTH legs simultaneously would be highly unusual, especially for an otherwise healthy young adult like Ronan and would only appear as secondary to another condition or the result of a catastrophic injury. You don’t just pick up a bone infection like you do the flu, it’s nonsense. The only surgical intervention for an advanced bone infection would be amputation or bone grafting. Ronan was in ilizarov leg braces for over a year; you are only placed in those things if your legs are broken, and breaking bones is *not* a treatment for osteomyelitis or any other bacterial infection.

I think Ronan and his fiance are both hot.

[quote] I think Ronan and his fiance are both hot.

Really? I wonder how someone as attractive as Ronan could be attracted to Jon Lovett.

In this recent video, Jon & Ronan discuss Ronan's hair and his looks in general.

At 28:35 someone makes the young Brad Pitt comparison.

Jon says:

[quote] (pointing to Ronan) "This is better looking than I need or want. This is very stressful.... We're a year into quarantine, and he's young Brad Pitt and I look like Ted Kaczynski. It's very frustrating...."

[quote]The only surgical intervention for an advanced bone infection would be amputation or bone grafting .. you are only placed in those things (Ilizarov apparatus) if your legs are broken

Bone grafting for osteomyelitis involves surgical debridement which is removal of bone, and the Ilizarov apparatus is used to help bring bone back together in cases where infection inhibits the bones from naturally growing back together as they would in a regular cast.

This is all easily found online, I don't know why you don't bother looking things up first.

[quote]Bone infections in BOTH legs simultaneously would be highly unusual

Link?

[quote]would only appear as secondary to another condition or the result of a catastrophic injury. You don’t just pick up a bone infection like you do the flu, it’s nonsense.

He's never specified what kind of infection it was, he calls it a "bone marrow infection" briefly in a book from a couple of years ago, and has mentioned he needed crutches, braces and a wheelchair, but that's about all we know. Articles that mention it are inconsistent. Ultimately, we don't have solid information on this and we can't really make any claims about what his infection was caused by, or what, if anything, it means.

People trying to defend Woody Allen bring it up like it's some kind of proof that Mia is insane or Ronan is a liar but even if it were, it wouldn't mean Woody Allen is innocent of what Dylan has charged him with. It's just a tangential conspiracy theory.

R99..their intelligence is really sexy. Yes Jon is a bit plain but that man gotta brain and a good sense of humour.......together they just work.
