Sam Heughan gets major film role

Sam couldn't top a sundae.

[Quote] the eccentric Aussie George Finch (Heughan)

Travis Fimmel turned it down?

Rhinoplasty?

Haven’t I seen Sam on xvideos. If it was him he sure knows how to take a thick cock up his ass

LOL his frau-cult followers posted comments on Deadline

A movie about climbing Mt Everest starring Sam Heughan....did a Datalounger greenlight this?

Will there be a scene where he eats Kwanzaa cak?

Your costume is ready, Mr. Heughan.

Yes! I’d kill for that man.

Isn't Ewan box office poison?

r9 He certainly seems to have a mixed reputation. Birds of Prey didn't seem to do much good.

Yes, Ewan is in the twilight of his career.

This can only end in career takedowns.

Looks like Heughan, who famously sucks at accents, will have to learn 'Strine.

[quote]...but for Mallory and his rival, the eccentric Aussie George Finch (Heughan)...

I don't know why anyone would think this is some kind of career stepdown for anyone, Doug Liman is a major film director.

R14, agreed. This is a coup for him

Why call it 'Everest' when there is already a (pretty good) film called that? I hate when filmmakers do that, be fucking original ffs. It's like all the fucking sequels with 'Rises/Rise of' or similar, gag.

FFS it’s just a working title.

And THIS is why actors like Sam stay in the closet. They know that coming out would damage their chances and so they avoiding coming out as gay at all costs.

I think the movie actually sounds good

Heughan has done more than stay in the closet... We remember his little typed diatribe...

r20 Oh, yeh. Poor little 'normal guy'. Very clever bringing up mental health issues (boo hoo) to deflect from his appalling Covidiocy and lying. You wonder if he was given general guidance by JA but then he put the rant into his own idiotic words. Liar liar pants on fire.

No publicist would recommend using the word "homosexual" in a piece like that.

Sam Heughan is basically nuts. And I say that as someone who likes him. If he were not famous he would be a running a cult-like CrossFit box in Ibiza or South Beach.

That Sam, he'd skull fuck his own grandmother for a movie role, or to disguise his homosexuality.

So I guess staying in the closet paid off then? Just sad.

R25, yeah, that's what I was saying above. The reason so many of the actors we talk about stay in the closet for years is because they are told by their agents that revealing they are gay will affect their prospects for roles.

Related: It's Pride Month and we should be speaking out against Hollywood homophobia. Hollywood continues to shun gay actors for gay roles. Let's face it, Tom Hanks was never believable as a gay man in award-winning Philadelphia.

[quote]Also, far from being surprised they have dared to take the role on lest they queer the pitch of their apparently straight persona, actors now find themselves challenged in the media for taking work away from actual gay performers.

[quote]Although key names such as Derek Jacobi have rejected Russell T Davies’s comparison of playing another sexuality as “blacking up”, all four stars of Ammonite and Supernova have been careful to criticise an industry in which, as Winslet put it, LGBTQ+ actors are still fearful of coming out lest they no longer be put up for straight roles.

[quote]Firth has gone further, while also deflecting blame to the system. “Taking on a role feels like an insufferable presumption,” he said. “You know nothing about this person’s lived experience and yet you are presuming to take a step into it and convince everybody that this is a deeply felt experience. “That always feels outrageous to me, but it’s also the job. You just hope it resonates in a way that is somewhat truthful.”

Hello! Did you miss the news that Mark Strong is in this as well?

Sadly all three will be bundled up in layers of bulky clothes and have ice-rimmed beards. Not hot.

I'm predicting a weak attempt at an Aussie accent will painfully distract. The saving grace may be unintended chemistry with the other male actors, if Heughan's past performances are any indication.

This has flop written all of it. Wasn't there something with the same title made a few years ago?

r30 Yep - 2015. Different story - the real-life climbing attempts by two groups in 1996. Some well-known names in the ensemble cast. Commercial success, positive reviews, although a journalist who was on the climb called the script 'total bull', and didn't like the way he was portrayed.

I dunno Ewan may become quite big again with his show on Disney plus. Everything Disney plus has pumped out so far has been gold so a dwindling career may be quickly reversed. This in tern could help Sam for the movie.

True r18 and r26 but Heughan went further in his pathetic attempts to hide any hint of homosexuality when he posted his grotesque comment about just being a “normal guy”. Stay in the closet if you wish but please stay silent.

I'm surprised his self-loathing hasn't turned him into an alcoholic.

Every few weeks there's a Blind Item about Sam and beard.

R34 What a great cover to have your own whisky brand when you always have a drink in your hand, and it makes no sense to push both whisky and fitness, another tell. Judging by how clumsy and inarticulate he's been, I'm guessing he hits the sauce pretty hard.

r36 Well, if he's not, he's given that impression, including in some media. But then closeting must be tough.

He must take a note from Ewan's career and remove his undies, show his lovely big Scottish cock and pert young arse.

If anyone deserves success, it's not him.

What happened to his bf whom he was dating free years ago( the who use to go trekking with him)?

Who he a currently dating

Sam is straight. The guy you're thinking about was his "personal trainer".

Product placement! Shill, shill shill! This is my 'drunken deer-in-the-headlights' look. Now, run out and buy my hootch, granny cultists.

At the Bloodshot premiere, I was on the red carpet shilling whisky instead of the fucking movie I was supposed to be promoting.

Priorities!

That's what the closet has done to him.

Sam Heughan, 2015.

I have some news for you fraus

Sam would be fucked up even if he was out of the closet. Growing up homosexual in a heterosexual world fucks you up. Look at all the out people who are crazy, like Luke Evans.

How in the name of God do you pronounce his last name? Hoo-ann?

And now....

Any recent naked skinny dipping pics?

[quote] How in the name of God do you pronounce his last name? Hoo-ann?

Hew-ann. Coincidentally, rhyming with "Ewan".

r49 Nah, only the MIK one with a side shot of the Great One's uncut sausage bouncing around in the surf. Guess he's only got full frontal left now.

He is dreamy.

During lockdown, STARZ had some travel show/Outlander promotion called "Men In Kilts" with Sam & Graham McTavish; I'd never heard of Graham, but by the end of the brief series, Graham seemed like a great guy while Sam came across as a whiney, petulant cunt.

R53 Thought they came across as lovers, actually.

McTavish is a hot daddy.
