Simon Rex receives standing ovation at Cannes. Yes, you read that correctly.

Yas kween

Where’s his jackoff video?

Cannes gives ovations for everything, but he has received good reviews for the film.

Good for her. It's what she deserves!

Get back to me when he appears fully ejaculated.

Does Brad Posey make a cameo in this film?

Good. Rex has always seemed like a good guy and it's nice to see second acts in Hollywoo.

I've always been a fan too

Wow you can see his soul illuminate

I thought he was so hot, and was excited when I heard he did porn (I was early teens at the time). Unfortunately, the clip is hard to find and you can barely tell it's him.

He's so hot now. Damn. Marry me, bro.

There's one on Myvidster if you search his name.

Clip from the film

I'm happy for him. This is good karma.

Here’s a NSFW link to his late 90s porn scene.

[quote] thought he was so hot, and was excited when I heard he did porn (I was early teens at the time). Unfortunately, the clip is hard to find and you can barely tell it's him.

What are you babbling about? He did a series of jerk off scenes and there is no doubt it's him.

This director makes the worst, most overrated movies. I'm sure it's a snore.

The director -- Sean Baker -- is a thorough-going misogynist.

He handsome and all but so standard issue bro. He loves to talk about success being all about winging it and how things will just fall into your lap when you don’t try too hard but forgets to add that in order for this strategy to work you have to be a gorgeous twenty-something with a big dick which you like to whip out and show off.

He’s not a dummy but he thinks he’s way smarter than he actually is.

You know what, I'm actually happy for him.

Hanging in there all these years, he's earned it.

Guys who look as he did when he was younger all seem to age in the same way - and it's badly.

Costas Mandylor looked similar and aged badly.

R21 is so right. From Mickey Rourke to Jason Behr, it's been a rough ride for so many men of Simon's former caliber.

Jason Behr has always had that strangely long neck. The guy still looks as if he's ripped to the Gods. The problem is, with that low body fat it's probably making his 47 year old face look like a rough 47 years old.

From the cunt director of Tangerine?

Exactly, r24. He's obsessed with degrading women.

So r25 you are saying he is a DLer?

r26, I'd say he's worse. We just want women to go away and leave us alone, he enjoys depicting them being sexually and physically abused.

Jason Behr is more of a case of choosing between the face and the body category

Simon Rex is in the “smoked my residual checks” category

Like it's hard to basically play yourself I guess?

Some grade A idiots in this thread. Seriously, who the fuck are you people? Sean Baker is my favorite working filmmaker. He makes original and hilarious movies that are about real people, unlike 99% of today’s Hollywood garbage. I’m really looking forward to this.

Simon Rex wasn't all that in the 1990s and he's still not much today.

Good thing he did his nudes/pron career when he did. He'd barely cause a ripple today thanks to OF, Instaho and Tik Tok.

He's gonna be able to increase his going rate on Cameo now.

Academy award nominee Simon Rex?

He’s better than mark wahlberg.

R30 This character is pro-Trump.

I think "Starlet" is still Baker's best movie. "Tangerine" and "Florida Project" were both good, but slightly overrated.

Did I fuck him?...

I hated Tangerine but loved The Florida Project, so I will definitely check this out.

Simon Rex Solo

I watched several episodes of that Amanda Bynes - Jennie Garth sitcom for Rex. He has always exuded Hot Douche. It looks like he got his nose bobbed at some point, which disappoints me.

Simon Rex Solo 2

Simon Rex Solo 3

Back in the early 2000s, He was part of the "secret" invite-only Hollywood Hills bisexual swinger party crowd (allegedly). It's hot to think of him banging Jared Leto while he's getting fucked by Charlie Sheen, in some mansion's basement, while drunk and high on GHB!

Is his rapping homophobic?

He's been in the wilderness a good few years so good on him.

R42’s story is believable. This is from his Twitter last week talking about a Milwaukee Bucks basketball player.

He probably got fucked by Alexis Arquette.

He’s very funny I used to watch his rapping and comedy videos on YouTube and he’s got something. Major pothead but seems likable. Good for him and he looks fine. Can’t wait to see it. I saw all the directors movies and Starlet was definitely my favorite. It had a lot of heart. Tangerine was not my cup of tea. Is it streaming yet?

The film got the ovation.

But Simon received the fellation.

Baker invests the film with tremendous energy, although it never becomes frantic or overheated, and his confidence in the relatively untested Rex (aka Dirt Nasty, whose career has embraced MTV, rapping, modeling, stand-up and, evidently, some solo porn) is thoroughly rewarded. The man has tremendous energy, looks, resourcefulness and no fear of coming off like an idiot if need be, and he makes you believe that he could talk anyone into just about anything.

NEWS FLASH! Scientist have determined the Earth actually revolves around R30 and not the Sun. News at 11.

I think he was physically hottest when he did the Jennie Garth show. The right amount of muscle.

Damn, this happened 12 years ago? Where did the years go.

I'd say his body is even better here, from 2015.

He tries to make it sound like he had to do the videos for the money.

In the videos he seems to want to be there. Even jokes that he wants to be an actor and here he is jacking off on video.

I think he was 18 and curious about being nude in front of men.

He's never married and was a friend of Charlie Sheen's during his crazy tour.

Meh it’s not that good in r54

[Quote] I think he was 18 and curious about being nude in front of men.

Have you seen most pornographers?

[Quote] Meh it’s not that good in [R54]

He has more definition than in the pic with Garth.

It has been a long time coming.

Red Rocket? Is this movie about dog dicks or what? I read once that "red rocket" is what those into sex with male dogs call dog peckers.

r57 Brad Posey who shot Rex's video was quite hot and a model himself. I know I was really tempted to pose for him as a young gayling. I had some long phone conversations with him but was smart enough to know it would haunt me. He was quite seductive though. I sort of wish I'd done it.

Is the character an ex-gay porn star or an ex-straight porn star?

r55, I've heard him on a podcast have much more of a sense-of-humor about it. As time goes by, and porn becomes even MORE mainstreamed, this will mean nothing. In fact, I think we're there, right now.

Was the standing ovation during his full frontal?

[Quote] Brad Posey who shot Rex's video was quite hot and a model himself.

Pics?

I've never heard anything about his private life. Doesn't appear he ever married or that he has kids. He looks tired for his age but I still like him.

What R19 meant is "he's very New York, if you catch my drift"

Damn look at these reviews. Simon Rex in freaking Vanity Fair.

He has a girlfriend. She's been on his podcast behind the camera, but not in front of it. They live in a super modern shipping container type dwelling out in Joshua Tree in the desert. (I think for financial reasons he had to sell his Hollywood home. Ah, the unpredictable life of an actor!!)

WARNING: I stopped reading the review at R68 as it was starting to turn into one of those reviews that gives away too much of the movie.

Suffice to say the reviewer really like the movie and Rex's performance and noted that gay men in their 30s and 40s all jerked off along with Simon back in the day.

[Quote] "he's very New York, if you catch my drift"

You're alluding to him being Jewish?

Simon Rex Cutright (born July 20, 1974), 46, in San Francisco, also known as Dirt Nasty, is an American actor, rapper, comedian, and former model. Rising to fame as an MTV VJ, Rex later became an actor known for What I Like About You, starring in three films of the Scary Movie franchise, and National Lampoon's Pledge This!. He later developed a rap persona, Dirt Nasty, and had several solo albums and co-founded the hip-hop group Three Loco.

Reportedly worth $3 million.

[quote]He looks tired for his age

Very tired and it was even more pronounced when he began hanging around the young Vine crowds and doing Vine videos when the app was a thing.

His roman nose was one of his best features.

[quote] Does Brad Posey make a cameo in this film?

He’s too busy tending to his drugged out son, Tyler.

Any clips to his nude scenes in the new movie? Has his dick aged? New wrinkles? Sagging balls?

Before filming commenced, Simon had his balls lifted.

So he had work done on his dick before filming? How vein.

He is quite vascular in appearance.

Simon was HAWT. God, I can't count how many times I jerked off to him. As my roommate at the time used to squeal, "he's so THICK!"

You watch porn with your roommate? You Jack off together?

r51 It also revolves around everyone who gave the film a standing ovation today, but your dumb ass already knew that.

I do find it interesting though that the synopsis says it takes place "right before the 2016 election," so I wonder how politics will weave its way into the story.

No, we both enjoyed him separately. In our own rooms, R81.

Why would two young viral guys watch porn in separate rooms? What a waste of... electricity.

r65 I've never been able to find any online. When he was trying to get me to pose he said I could see what he looks like in a magazine that was on the stands at the time. He was very hot.

Lots of his models let him give them blowjobs in his videos. They don't seem repulsed by him.

He told me he shot nudes of himself for his art degree at UCLA. He was going to do Playgirl but didn't show up the day of the shoot because they used too many women as makeup and styling people. He didn't like the idea of being naked in front of so many people.

I guess that is why his videos were called Private sessions.

So he’s a method actor?

[Quote] two young viral guys

I hope their load was low.

Not a film buff and honestly haven't of Sean Baker before. Reading this thread, I got curious and just watched Florida Project. Jeez, what a bummer. And I meant that in a positive way. It felt so honest and the whole cast is terrific. Looking forward to this.

So, is he a straight male pron star or gay male pron star in this movie?

What do you think?!

Thanks for the clip R13. That right there is some real ACTING!!

I don't think the clip at r13 is bad. The tone seems comic more than anything.

What are you talking about R10? His porn jerk off stuff is everywhere and it's very obviously him...

"So he had work done on his dick before filming? How vein."

Yes, I'm sure his penis has veins, yes...

Is there some significance to it being set in 2016?

I remember being introduced to him in of all places, Newsweek, when his porn past was uncovered. They printed a cropped version of the lower right hand photo in R93 and I jerked of to it about 100 times. I think I was 13.

R40 I bought all three actual VCR videos (actually, at the time and 3/4 of the appeal was that he was on MTV and it was shocking to see his hard cock.

I’m getting Comeback Season 2 vibes from this. I’m verklempt!

I find both Sean Baker and Simon Rex hot as fuck and I liked The Florida Project so I will have to check this out.

For all the suffering he's had to through pretending to like that cunt Jennie Garth on What I like About You, he DESERVES all the awards and recognition and accolades, even if it's 20 years later.

Also, he was AMAZING in Scary Movie 3.

Good for his second act.

He’s quite charming on his IG stories in Cannes.

I don't want to hijack this and turn it into a Brad Posey thread, I have always been drawn to his Club1821 videos for some reason, well for some reason other than the obvious ones. I would love to see HIS modeling shots,. I have always thought it would be hot to see him fuck or or actually show him sucking his models, not just the glimpse . [R85] I would love to hear more of the time you met with him, h just seems to have a very disarming sexiness, even as grew into his daddy stage

[quote]Brad Posey who shot Rex's video was quite hot and a model himself.

This was before he got into country music and started hanging around with Carrie Underwood, right?

Cannes Red Rocket press Conference.

I hope they can fix that damaged face skin by Oscar time.

It would be worth it having him win just to see how Frances McDormand announces it.

"Fix" his "damaged" face skin? I'd much rather see that over an upholstered naugahyde Mickey Rourke sort of nightmare.

It looks like there’s a lot of support for Simon scattered throughout the industry

Whose story is that, r108?

r109: Mark Ronson.

Fascinating that he googles his own name first thing in the morning.

I think all celebrities are just like that so he doesn’t even realize it’s not normal to tell the public that

Hey if we can see hambone Mark Rylance get his average dick sucked on screen, Simon can be nominated.

But if he has Google Alerts, it's automatic, right?

R110 R111 they have Google Alerts. I think he was being sarcastic.

I need more than a thimble to fire up my fantasies.

Thanks for the recommendation, R35. Just watched Starlet - it was really beautiful. I liked The Florida Project and I love Tangerine, which I have on blu-ray and have watched many times - it's one of my go-to Christmas movies. Starlet was really good. Thanks.

Movie Trivia... Director Sean Baker used James Ransone in "Tangerine" who also jerked off on camera in "Ken Park"

So he passed over Ransone for the role he's given Simon Rex?

Ransone's was the better solo

I'd love to taste Ransone's gooey load.

He was adorable as fuck in the IT movies.

Good. Who doesn't love a redemption story.

So they didn't give Best Actor to Simon Rex nor any prize to Red Rocket. Instead they gave it to, erm, Caleb Landry-Jones for a film no one will ever see.

Simon Rex was robbed !

Purr Simon. He should masturbate on webcam to feel better.

[quote] So they didn't give Best Actor to Simon Rex nor any prize to Red Rocket. Instead they gave it to, erm, Caleb Landry-Jones for a film no one will ever see.

Wait, there was another ceremony where he lost? I thought the standing O was the ceremony.

That was the world premiere festival screening.

Rex wasn’t actually tipped to win. Everyone thought the star of the Iranian film, A Hero, would win. Landry-Jones won for playing a high school shooter. No one is going to want to sit through that; it was an endurance test even for the festival audience.

Scene from his new movie.

Cannes gives standing ovations to ham sandwiches. No one cares what Cannes thinks. Hell, no one cares what the French think about film, period. They are completely disconnected from reality.

R127 What was supposed to see there, it’s only been an hour and I get an icon of a red “X”ed out picture?

r127

Link to the thread, no the image.

What is with all these actors being lauded for playing conservative Trumpists at Cannes? They’re so “brave” according to the press. It’s like ten years ago when straight guys were commended for playing gay.

It’s fucking pathetic. No one needs to see movies about Trumpies and insurrectionists. No one cares about their journeys, unless it’s to jail.

R130 It only says proxy.php so up I need to give the title of it.

R128 - aren't the judges and audience members International at film festivals?

He's a natural hero for an OnlyFans world.

It's interesting; you'd expect it to work the other way in this sexist world, but Simon Rex's career was ruined by a video of him jerking off, while Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian's careers are founded on sex videos.

Colin Farrell made a lot of fans with his sex tape, I guess.

Maybe the difference is that Simon Rex was the sex object of his video. He was objectified as only women are in straight porn, which I guess probably was emasculating in the straight world. Until very recently, the men in straight porn were usually homely and cropped out of the frame so they were only a dick and sometimes a body.

Colin Farrell's video featured mostly a disembodied dick being serviced, whereas Simon Rex's showed his pretty face and body as he lay back vulnerably following the direction of a male director's voice.

R135’s description is getting me aroused.

R135 leaves out the one crucial fact: Simon's vid was aimed at gay men, while the other vids you mentioned were clearly intended for a straight audience.

Gay porn was playing on the television set during Rex's video.

But, were people reluctant to shake his hand?

Simons career was screwed up because the jerk off video was aimed at gay men not straight women. Facts.

Does anyone know if the jo material emerged AFTER he got his job at MTV? I was in my 20s at the time I can’t remember the time table of it all. Have to give him props for having some semblance of a career after all that went down. I can’t help but like him and he was hot as hell during the 90s. Even now, id drain him dry.

[quote]Simon Rex's career was ruined by a video of him jerking off,

ALL his mainstream work was done after the tapes were released. He's a working actor, was probably never going to be a superstar so he did OK .

Don't know why he doesn't do the autograph circuit unless he thinks he'll have bunch of gay boys who want pics of him naked signed.

He'd probably drain your bank account too, R140.

[quote]It's interesting; you'd expect it to work the other way in this sexist world, but Simon Rex's career was ruined by a video of him jerking off, while Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian's careers are founded on sex videos. Colin Farrell made a lot of fans with his sex tape, I guess.

I think you also have to take in the year. Rex's tape was leaked in 1996. Hilton's tape leaked in 2004, Farrell's leaked in 2005, Kardashian's leaked in 2007. There was definite change in attitudes. Now leaked sex tapes and nudes doesn't even warrant a raised eyebrow.

It was stupid for MTV to fire him, but I understand because they had a demographic to think of, but of all the past veejays, Rex has done well for himself. He began doing TV a few years after being fired. The only veejay I can think of who had a really big career is Carson Daly and he was already established in radio before joining MTV.

Carson Daly's career really took off when he finally gave up food.

I'd definitely give a standing ovation to Simon's cock, sure.

No ass😵‍💫

His pelvis is pushed forward in that shot. I don't remember him ever having a big ass, though.

Mutilated dong.

Streamlined and perfect.

I saw him on the Charlie Sheen Tiger Blood roadshow, what a hottie! They were definitely fucking, major chemistry.

He looks a bit tired and wrinkled for being 47, but I actually don't mind that at all. I would rather have him look like he does, rather than worked on by a plastic surgeon.

His nose has already been worked on by a plastic surgeon.

Trailer

I can't wait to see this.

Nowadays standing ovations mean little. They are so common, and usually undeserved.

Says someone who will never receive one.

I was expecting better; looks cliche ridden.

Also, I can’t stomach watching stories about trashy people anyy

Maybe the audience needed to stretch their legs after sitting for so long. LOL!

Looks like Patti Cakes another film set among the lower middle-class that was praised at film festivals and pretty opened and close simultaneously

He is one of Charlie Sheens "friends". He looks like over the hill dopeheads you would see cruising the Greyhound bus station...

Even the clips I've seen show him to be an adept actor, something I never would have thought. I love it when someone's talent is revealed, unexpectedly. Maybe even he has surprised himself. Good for him.

[quote] I love it when someone's talent is revealed, unexpectedly.

Yes, but is his, uhhhum best talent revealed in the movie?

R165 he's basically playing himself in Red Rocket as opposed to playing with himself

[quote] "Carson Daly's career really took off when he finally gave up food."

Jesus, R145. He looks like an anorexic marionette.

It would be so amazing this year if a Best Actor nomination went to Simon Rex and a Best Actress nomination went to Karen Grassle.

I blew Brad Posey when I was 18, but who didn't? I am really happy for Simon. I always thought he was gorgeous, funny, nice, and a mensch. I cannot wait to see this film and I am thrilled to see he is getting Oscar buzz. Let's make Oscars exciting again with excellent performances in provocative films.

r156 = Mayim Bialik

r157 = NPH

I want to be fucked by both Simon Rex and Ryan Philipe in both past and present.

Haven't listened to it yet but Simon Rex is featured today on Scott Feinberg's Awards Chatter THR podcast.

That's one delicious cock!

Simon has HIS OWN PODCAST, too, and he’s quite humorous and fairly intelligent. His Instagram stories are entertaining, too.

I cannot wait to see this movie.

[quote] He is one of Charlie Sheens "friends". He looks like over the hill dopeheads you would see cruising the Greyhound bus station...

You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

.,.,

Oh good, he's Jewish. I can't deal with uncut. LOL

R177 Most American men are cut, regardless of religious background.

I'm cut!

New management

Simon will appear in "Down Low," a comedy written by (and starring) The White Lotus bellboy Lukas Gage.

My man is blowing up again. So happy for him. I love him and his podcast and his butthole, which I hope is just as hairy, if not hairier, as it was in the mid 90s.

Dear Simon,

There's only one reason those silly, vapid queens AND women gave you a standing ovation.

They enjoyed seeing your very nice cock.

It wasn't because of your acting. It wasn't because of anything spectacular that you accomplished.

They just liked seeing you nude, and they want you to fuck their old assholes and loose twats.

That's all.

Sorry.

Love, Reality.

Oh you’ve seen Red Rocket already, R183?

[quote] Oh you’ve seen Red Rocket already, R183?

By now, everyone has seen Simon's "red rocket."

Ah, so you haven’t seen the film, R183/185. Cool.

Bye, loser.

^ I think you'll find Simon's cock all over Porn hub silly. Maybe you're too young?

Good article, bad photo

Simon Rex has been harmless his whole career. I’m glad he’s getting a shot.

He's kind of sexy for an aging man who looks down and out in the movie.

In Esquire

Re Brad Posey: does anyone know how to get a hold of Hot Sessions #5 and Hot Sessions #10? They were my favorites in the series, but I have not been able to locate them anywhere online since the 2000s. Several of the other titles are available for streaming/sale but not these two.

HOT SESSIONS #5

HOT SESSIONS #10

He looks hot in the new GQ

Rex is entering 50s Flynn territory...

I'm glad to see that old male whore getting some love.

They are doing an American Gigolo update with John Bernthal but Simon would be perfect for this.

Is there hope we can someday integrate pron with legit? Simon says.

Why, R197? That guy has zero charisma. He’s alright looking but too much of a dud to make an engaging escort for older women of means. Unless this time he plays some hard edged rough trade stud for old caftan queens.

I’d watch that movie but not some boring hetero shit with a bland lead.

Sexy photos for Interview

Oof. That penultimate slide... Whoever convinced him to get his nose bobbed deserves a kick in the balls.

I like that he's looking aged, and not running to the plastic surgeon like the rest of Hollywood. To me, that's sexy.

R202 Like he could afford it

A pretty boy aging naturally looks more masculine. A pretty boy who tries to stay artificially young just looks desperate.

He was acting like an overgrown fratboy as recently as a few years ago. Postling many videos of himself farting. He may look older, but sure doesn't act it.

I just watched this movie. Like other Sean Baker films, it was very depressing and hard to stomach. I liked the patriotic motifs and the suggestion that everyone in the film is eager to sell their soul instead of staying content with the little that they have in life. That said, the characters left a lot to be desired and the story didn't have much momentum. That's true for his other films as well though. I think Sean just likes to show how shitty life can be when you're poor and live within a culture of poverty. The attitude that people in these dire situations have can lead to even worse outcomes. I was hoping for more from Simon Rex, but it's not his fault. The character he played was meant to be evil and soulless. The stand out element of this movie was the use of Nsync's Bye Bye Bye.

Simon Rex's greatest work will be Scary Movie 3. Too bad he was never really in much else after those.

Baker's work is transcendent in the details and the mastery of the form. Obviously any critic who's not looking for cheap shots disagrees with you, R207.

Speaking of shots, Does Simon have any money shots in this?

R209, full frontal running shot, homie.

R208, I didn't say that Sean Baker's greatest work was Scary Movie 3. Simon Rex displayed way more charisma and talent in the Scary Movie films than he was able to give in Red Rocket.

One article I read on the film stated pretty matter-of-factly that he used a prosthesis for the frontal scene.

R212, I see. Well, it looked real. Maybe they wanted it to look bigger than it is, lol.

Florida Project is great, as is Tangerine. They are bleak stories though. Very intense and sad.

214, Yeah I think Florida Project is his best movie so far. That ending was amazing.

R211, I was only directing my second sentence to you. I think Rex did a great job in Red Rocket.

My bad, R16. Putting the roids down as we speak.

Any screencaps of said prosthetic?

R34 before Trump what did you talk about? You ought to charge him rent for all the time he's been living in your head rent free!

R56 "Not that good"? He looks fantastic! And he was 40 when that was shot, most 40 year olds dont look anywhere near as good as that, even most 30 year olds dont

Simon wins his first major award for Red Rocket.

His jack off vids brought me many hours of self pleasure. I think he looks fantastic,and knowing that gorgeous dick is more than likely a little bit bigger and a little bit thicker than when he was a teen is just icing on the cake.

He’s on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter now with Andrew Garfield and Nicolas Cage

Brenda Deiss, who played the mother-in-law in Red Rocket, died a few weeks ago. She was only 60.

I'll give him a standing ovation...

in my pants!
