“Cobra Kai” star Tanner Buchanan — Is he family?

Well, he wants to play a bisexual Robin

He has a Tim-O-Tayish quality.

I always thought he looked like a young Val Kilmer, too. He never pinged for me, though, but that's based on me watching him play a character on Cobra Kai.

He’s played gay before when he was younger.

Based on the photo shoot at your link op, I'd say he's a big mo.

Not only that, but he looks really short. Like a dwarf.

Oh, and he has lots of lines on his forehead. What is he, 46?

[quote] Is the photographer grooming him to be a gay twink?

That photographer is Doug Inglish.

He has photographed a lot of celebs who are bigger than this kid so he's kind of lucky to have been photographed by him so soon in his career.

Ooh, squee! Miss OP, I sure hope you're right!

[quote]He has a Tim-O-Tayish quality.

So he’s a nasty rat faced incel, R2?

Mason Kendall is not a fag and I'm just the dame to prove it!

[quote] Mason Kendall is not a fag

He’s a fag.

A Robin he is not.

Is the relationship real or is it just a fauxmance?

If you go to his Facebook, he posts photos of himself wearing a gold bra and skirt.

As a kid, he wore glasses. You can tell he probably liked more girly stuff when he was younger.

Anybody watched Season 4 of “Cobra Kai” yet?

R5, he would be carded for 🥃. I get a straight guy vibe

I've only watched a few episodes but hes got a great ass. Any nudes further down in the series?

Eh. He looks like a butch lesbian flirting with a transition. I’ll pass.

He looks like if Nancy McKeon transitioned.

A name couldn’t get more masculine than “Tanner Buchanan.” Make me think of chopping wood and wearing spurs.

Good call, OP. He does look like a young Val Kilmer! I could not think of who he reminded me of when I watched "Cobra Kai." It's 40 years since Kilmer looked like that, and my memory is not as good as it was back then.

OP, look at what he's wearing in those fotos, yeah, he's family.

R1 Oh wow, he'd be perfect as Tim Drake (Batman's Bisexual Boy-Wonder)!

R23 seconded, would love to see Tanner become Robin III.

He couldn't be any worse than that kid they got to play Tim Drake in TITANS, he was so forgettable and flavourless.

[quote]He has a Tim-O-Tayish quality.

With that greasy greige hair? We think not.

Tanner and Sebastian Croft started following each other.

[quote] He looks like a young Val Kilmer

So he will, in time, resemble the fat man we know today.

Wrinkly bitch.

His girlfriend is friends with Brandon Flynn.

So was Jacob Elordi's.

R15 is S4 worth the watch? I punched out halfway through S3, bored with it. The middle-school shit is tedious as is the malarkey about Daniel & Amanda’s business, the karate jumps the shark and becomes too unbelievable, the Valley setting is constraining, and the references have become less cute and more heavy-handed.

Also, the show seems to have walked back the hints about major gay characters or a couple, which I don’t appreciate.

R31, S4 brought back Thomas Ian Griffith, who was an interesting character.

Is he in London?

Listening to his podcast interview with Anna Faris. He doesn’t strike me as the “straightest” guy, being that he was into tap dancing instead of sports, never been to a strip club, not interested in going to one, not interested in lap dances because he doesn’t like to be touched, etc. he was really into the Cheetah Girls when he was a kid.

I think he’s comfortable with his current girlfriend, but I could see him experimenting with a guy if he were single. But he’s very comfortable being monogamous.

Zac Efron was really into Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music as a child. And Cinderella. And Moulin Rouge. And the recorded output of Celine Dion. He's as straight as they come.

R35, you sure about that?

[Quote] you sure about that?

Gay men don't worry about aging to the point that they dive into plastic surgery and fillers in their late twenties and early thirties. That something only straight men do.

Tanner in York today. He’s filming a movie with Sebastian Croft and Charithra Chandran.

Although I haven't gotten around to watch it yet, what I find really intriguing about Cobra Kai is that the fundamental conceit of the show is that Barney was right, Zabka's Johnny Lawrence was actually the hero and Macchio's Daniel LaRusso was the villain all along.

The idea that Macchio became such a douchenozzle while Zabka's live spiraled downward after Macchio's illegal kick to the face won the tournament represents a true reversal that had great story potential.

Is it any good or did they waste an opportunity?

Tanner changed his Instagram profile picture to Sebastian Croft:

Are they dating?

What's up with the tiny body? Is that a dyke?

R41 No, Sebastian also changed his photo-- to a female coworker.

R41 They are staring in a romcom together with Charithra Chandran called How to Date Billy Walsh. 99% of it being straight so don't get your hopes up.

Is Sebastian the best friend or antagonist?

R45 No clue yet. Considering all three costars have changed their pictures to each other tonight, I suspect some news coming out in the morning or this week sometime.

[quote]Sebastian Croft, Charithra Chandran and Tanner Buchanan to star in rom-com ‘How To Date Billy Walsh.’

In the movie promo photo Tanner’s character has painted nails and cuffed pants. 🤞he ends up being gay/bi and falling for Bash’s character in the end. The plot description indicates nice guy Bash is going to try to stop his best friend (and secret crush) Charithra from getting together with hot new American transfer student Tanner. This movie will probably be super stupid, but there’s a slim chance we could see an interesting gay twist.

LONDON, UK, 25 August 2022 – Prime Video today announced a new British high school romantic comedy movie, How To Date Billy Walsh, starring Sebastian Croft (Heartstopper), Charithra Chandran (Bridgerton), and Tanner Buchanan (Cobra Kai). Further cast includes Kunal Nayyar (The Big Bang Theory), Nick Frost (Paul), Guz Khan (Army of Thieves), Lucy Punch (Motherland) and newcomer Daisy Jelley (London Kills). Filming on How To Date Billy Walsh has already begun, and the movie will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories worldwide.

[italic]Teenagers Amelia (Charithra Chandran) and Archie (Sebastian Croft) have been best friends since childhood. Archie has always been there to fight Amelia’s battles, laugh at her jokes, whilst constantly striving for her love and affection. Archie has been in love with his best friend for as long as he can remember. Just when he builds up the courage to declare his feelings, Amelia falls head over heels for Billy Walsh (Tanner Buchanan), the new American transfer student. Heartbroken Archie goes to great lengths to try and keep Amelia and Billy away from each other, but ends up pushing them closer together and risks losing his best friend at the same time.

What kind of name is Daisy Jelley?

[quote]What kind of name is Daisy Jelley?

A fucking weird one.

An extremely English name.

Daisy looks reminiscent of Melissa George.

Tanner, Sebastian and Charithra:

Hot bro

In the picture on the left in the black outfit, he reminds me of Rex Manning.

It’s Rex Manning Day!

Yes, he's not a natural fashion boy.

Good, that’s my type bro

Hopefully he hooks up with Croft’s character at the end of the movie.

Tanner with some of the film crew at Manchester Pride today...

Suck me off

Who is the other white guy? He looks familiar. Damn, Pride runs long throught the world.

The other guy is somebody named Ryan, but he’s nobody famous. He only has 102 followers.

I’m not sure this his evidence that Tanner is gay or bi, although I love to think so. How many gays would really wear that shirt at Pride? That looks more like queer baiting. Although, all the guys he’s with appear to be gay.

Only shirtlifters wear shirts at Gay Pride!

It's sort of an odd outfit for him to wear... If he were on a Pride float in the parade, it would make more sense. He could get press from it.

One thing I’ll say about Tanner… his character Robby is kind of like Tyler Blackburn’s Caleb Rivers from “Pretty Little Liars,” and we know how Tyler Blackburn turned out.

I could see Tanner coming out as bisexual at around age 30.

It's a good thing Tanner has forehead wrinkles or Froy might have to watch out...

I wonder if he’s ever kissed a boy when he was single?

R68, he’s afraid of needles, I don’t think he’ll want to get Botox.

Apparently, the “Suck Me” shirt that Tanner is wearing was designed by Sebastian Croft.

Do we suspect that Tanner and Sebastian secretly hooked up?

Not alone. They spitroasted Little Joe.

r71

No, that refers to the shirt the fan is wearing - a cartoon of 2 gay dinosaurs, Sebastian designed it for some charity. (I don't think he would have designed something as racy as Tanner's shirt.)

Has Tanner been pictured at Pride before 2022?

R74, not that I know of. Maybe he privately identifies as bi and is inching his way out of the closet?

Sebastian Croft and Tanner:

You KNOW that Bash was so horny while that photo was taken.

OMG! Does Joe know?!?

Joe liked the photo, but didn’t leave a comment. Kit committed “terrifyingly attractive people”.

You're in danger Joe - Tanner is usurping your place on Bash's shoulder now!

Tanner looks more into it that Bash.

If Tanner is into guys, what kind of guys is he into? Small guys like him? Or big muscle men who will dominate him?

English fops.

R79 Joe never leaves comments anymore to Bash

Were Joe and Bash hooking up in real life?

r85

Not just hooking up - it's basically an open secret that they're a couple.

R85 all signs point to them being in a committed relationship for the past year and a half. They’ve never made any public statement to confirm or deny dating rumors, but… They share clothes constantly (likely live together). Joe was Bash’s +1 to his sisters wedding. They’ve gone on multiple vacations together. They are frequently spotted in public holding hands, sitting on each other’s laps, hugging, and generally acting like a couple. When Joe was in school, he very frequently visited Bash in London, and Bash also visited Joe in IOM almost as frequently. Bash’s parents treat Joe like a son. It’s honestly hard to imagine two gay guys being this close and not having a physical relationship, but some of the fan girls are trying really hard to insist they’re just best friends.

R85 Still are. They've been dating for a year and a half a least.. Bash just came to London to see the closing of Joe's play and had his whole extended family and friends and their partners and their mothers there with him to watch his boyfriend, and his costars. Though Tanner didn't go.

And the picture Bash posted on IG referenced his Heartstopper character. Joe stays on his mind. Like the Connor Jessup thing, probably best to pick someone else to fuck this guy.

This thread is about me.

R89 You are pretty hot.

[quote]Were Joe and Bash hooking up in real life?

Ha! You’re new to DL, I take it?

Tell me more about Cassie Broadway. Any congenital defects?

R88 Connor Jessup could fuck Tanner. Bash can play matchmaker.

[quote]How many gays would really wear that shirt at Pride? That looks more like queer baiting.

If it were Queer Baiting he'd be the one drawing attention to all of this or making comments to keep people "guessing."

Instead, he's on other people's instagrams and he's never made the kind of comments Harry Styles, Charlie Puth or even Nick Jonas at his height ever made.

He has always worn his nails, rings and "interesting" outfits even outside of this.

He just reads as bi, but not screaming it from the hill tops especially since he's dating a woman now.

Uh oh, he and Lizzie Broadway may have broken up. They don’t appear to follow each other on IG.

Also, here’s THIS photo… with his LATEST outfit….

He seems to be going all out with Pride.

And here he is with a kid of girl hairstyle with braids being pulled around the side of his head.

Scratch what I said above… Lizzie Broadway, at least his girlfriend, doesn’t even appear to be on IG.

Tanner’s ig story:

That doesn't flatter his shoulders situation.

R99, he certainly surrounds himself with lots of gay men

At Netflix's Cobra Kai season 5 Los Angeles premiere last night:

Not sure about the curl right in the middle of her forehead but he carries off the outfit quite well.

Does he ping?

I’m not crazy about the shaved eyebrow.

You know R102, I don’t think he necessarily looks “gay” as much as he looks like a Final Fantasy protagonist.

But as for his other outfits at Pride, I think if he’s game to wear those outfits, then he’s also game for hooking up with guys as well.

Is that glitter on his eyebrow?

I suspect he's just hopped on the Harry Styles train. Tragic het music at the link.

Nice dick print. He's clearly angling for an adult breakout role.

Damn, this look was better than the Suckmeoff one.

R109, is that a bi bracelet he’s wearing?

I don't know what a bi bracelet entails. Someone said he's wearing something that they give you when you get STI tested. I guess it's a promotional item.

[quote]R99, he certainly surrounds himself with lots of gay men.

He was in Manchester during the middle of Pride; his most recent co-star is openly gay; and Gen Z guys – regardless of orientation – have been actively gender-bending in terms of attire for a while now (long before Harry graced the cover of Vogue in a dress). You bitches STILL can't tell the difference between straight guys comfortable with their orientations and closet-cases; there are WAY more of the former than the latter, disappointing though I'm sure that is.

[quote]Not sure about the curl right in the middle of her forehead but he carries off the outfit quite well.

Agreed. The outfit is on-trend *and* goes with the show's karate theme.

Very few "straight but not narrow" men would wear a "Suck Me Off" t-shirt to Gay Pride. Most wouldn't attend without being glued to a woman.

From watching a few of the interview clips posted recently, popping his eyes and generally giving "big" facial expression is pretty gayish. His voice is pretty even in the red carpet interviews, but there was lots more falsetto flipping in the Anna Faris interview (which had a cameo from his gf).

Computer Says: The Jury Is Out.

R111, a bi bracelet would have the colors of the bi Pride flag — blue, violet and pink.

I wonder if Buchanan and Croft exchanged some friendly hand jobs between shooting....

I wonder, R116, I wonder….

I don't think Tanner is willowy enough for Croft.

R116

Only until Croft introduced Buchanan to the joy of bottoming.

🥵

Damn, is Tanner Buchanan the twinkiest twink that ever twinked or what!?!?

Twunked

He plays rawk guitar, so no.

OMG… just finished episode 4 of season 5 of Cobra Kai! Shirtless Tanner at the water park is delicious!

Tanner and Sebastian with a crew member from their movie.

He looks like Nancy McKeon

They wrapped up filming in Manchester. Tanner kissing Bash on the cheek.

I’m guessing in the movie the characters end up as a throuple.

I’m not into girls but I’d happily watch that threesome R128

Shirtless Hawk and Robbie. Dayum.

I need both in me.

Tanner and Sebastian back in York. With Kit Connor and Maia Refrico.

Where in the world is Lizze Broadway?

OP, you needs your eyes checked.

He looks like the unholy abomination of Austin Butler and ratfaceboy Timootay

That abortion should be burned and have it's ashes scattered on unhallowed ground!

To whom should we attend, r134?

If hes straight, QEII will rise from the dead and rule for the next 100 years

He and Lizze have apprently been together since age 17. That's a long time at such a young age.

Tanner looks like he’s transitioning here. Kind of going for the look that Cody Fern had a few years back.

Kal Penn doesn't look very comfortable there.

Omg are you really that thick or plain ignorant you automatically think a male actor is transitioning because he's wearing makeup? Next time it's best to keep your mouth shut on the subject of transitioning because you are making yourself sound stupid.

They're probably turned on at the idea.

Clearly a few weeks with Sebastian have turned Tanner from a straight all-American jock with a high school sweetheart into a flamboyant gay slut. Exceptional work.

They should tap together.

Is this a cardboard cut out?

Watch out, Joe and Lizzie. Bash and Tanner have been cheating on you both together.

Tanner isn't serving dick print in those tight pants, for once.

Apparently, Tanner is a Hawk and Robby shipper.

Sultry?

R120 Ot but Mary Mouser’s dango-buns hairstyle is giving me cute aggression. I like her plaid coat-dress or whatever it is too.

[quote] not interested in lap dances because he doesn’t like to be touched

Take it from one who knows and endures the same—this is a major indicator of avoidant-personality, and possibly autism-spectrum disorder as well.

That said, I’m not sure I believe the statement applies to him even from the horse’s mouth, because there are a dozen pics of him upthread casually hugging and kissing and putting an arm around costars. So he probably announced that only as a tactful way to make sure fans keep their hands to themselves.

R147 Tanner doesn’t pay attention to his own show then😔

The obvious and natural gay pairings are clearly Robby/Miguel and Demetri/Hawk

Here’s Tanner wearing a playboy bunny shirt.

Tanner apparently calls his hairstylist “hair daddy.”

....

No straight guy would wear that outfit at r96 unless he was queerbaiting.

I would like to think that Tanner is better than that so it likely his way of wink wink nudge nudge coming out as bi without saying it.

I play football and Basketball r124 and I have absolutely no interest in RuPaul's drag race. So you never know. 🤷‍♂️

Back in 2000, I did a study abroad at Cambridge, UK, anf my gaydar was wholly confounded. Most English guys could have gone either way as far as I could tell. I think that European metrosexuality has finally been fully integrated into our youth culture.

His fingernails are smurfy at R154!

R157 the Greeks invented homosexuality, but we Brits refined it, don’tcha know.

Ok, the way he says "Nine and a half?!"...

4:08

R161 sorry to feminism but the vocal fry on that young girl interviewing them is horrific.

Jacob is buddies with Cameron Kasky. He should be up to date on all of the lastest girly boy obsessions.

Tanner

Regardless of his orientation, I think Tanner loves being the object of gay men’s affection and desire.

Tanner’s instagram pic and bio is still about Sebastian 😂

R164 little slut!

He should leave sultry leggy photoshoots to the pros.

Tanner wants Jake Gyllenhaal to give Taylor Swift back her scarf!

Is that a rainbow bangle?

It appears to be indeed, R169.

He seems openly gay or 'queer' to me. Is it a big mystery? Nothing about him suggests 'straight dude.'

With the longer hair, he reminds me a lot for some reason of Hannah Einbender from Hacks.

No one "seems" openly gay or queer. Openly... means definitive statement has been made.

Does Tanner choose to put on makeup himself? Is this his own fashion choice, or is he required to have this look by his publicists?

I think we have conclusive proof here.

Is Tanner wearing makeup here?

He’s wearing a rainbow bracelet.

I love the comment @R174 - He's a stool pusher?

Do we think he and his team have decided on a Harry Styles visual presentation to help him break out of teen idolhood? Or is he, like Connor Jessup, embracing the fey for more than career reasons?

Isn’t it, well… GAY ACTING…. for a guy to put his hand on his hip like this?

Here he is as a kid. Look at those big teeth and glasses. Who would have known he’d grow up to be such a hottie?

You can kind of tell he’d grow up to be gay,

Is he gay, though? Some of upturned hands + wrist combo in this vid has me wondering. What's most noteworthy in the interviews I've seen is that he doesn't try to be sexy. Flirtation is almost a given in interviews but he's relatively earnest.

He and Lizze are done, but he's probably dating Mary Mouser. He went on date with her to Disney as soon as he came back to the states. Someone sent it to Deuxmoi and said they looked like they were on a date.

Also they were wearing matching couple shirts.

I don't get any sexual tension. Lizze is even mentioned in the video by both of them.

Is that his natural wave of is he crimping his tresses?

Is this the general standard of that Cobra Kai show? We criticise Hearstopper, but the acting is more than competent, apart from one or two performers.

I saw a few minutes of Peyton List on that Bunk'd show. She's a rather lifeless performer. I wonder why she works so much.

R183 They were both in long term relationships then. That was also over 3 years ago. Everyone on Cobra Kai seems to be fucking each other, so I'm not to surprised if they were too

Here's them canoodling at the pool a while back.

R182 I would eliminate him from contention RE: being family based on those shirts alone.

R187 Actually correction, the pool picture is from last week

R187, say it isn’t so!!

I'm not really into twinks, but this one has reached peak twink pretty.

But Mary Mouser is so… FAT.

There is no evidence that they were on a DATE at Disneyland. There’s no evidence that they went to Disneyland as anything other than as fag and fag hag!! 😡😡

And R187, that photo is from the water park scene in Cobra Kai. They are not kissing. You can’t even tell if that is Tanner!

R193

You are right it's from the show, actually haven't watched Cobra Kai. But yeah, it them. Fans were laughing at the difference between them being on camera and when they don't think people are watching

Would love it if his character was secretly gay or bi in this.

Tanner has started tweeting again

Is he on the spectrum?

R197 Rainbow bracelet?

He’s a quarter Filipino? No wonder he’s so handsome!

Guys who are like quarter Asian are often BEAUTIFUL.

Filipino? No wonder he’s so short.

R200 that was my first thought too haha

I didn't realise how short he was until I saw the cast in a red carpet interview and realised that all the other kids are only about 5'8" and he's still significantly shorter than them

It's so sad that was my thought to R200, R201. "So that's why he's so short."

I guess that's why he wore the hat last time.

He squatted this time.

Wearing a pride flag pin at utah convention.

🏳️‍🌈

He left for only a month or 2 to film a movie and came back to a new look and sexuality?

He hung out with Sebastian Croft for five weeks in England and now he’s bi LOL

Is he playing a bi character in the new movie with Sebastian? It must be method acting similar to Austin Butler with Elvis because you just can’t just change overnight.

R209 We’re hoping 🤞

He didn't change, he improved.

Maybe he’s hooking up with BOTH Bash and Mary Mouser? After all, he’s wearing Mary Mouser’s badge, but he still has Bash’s profile photo on his IG?

Lizze Broadway is a hetero killer!

R206, plus his shirt colors are the pansexual flag.

I hope Lizze is healing. Someone needs to set up with someone new. Is Lucas Grabeel single?

R215, Shawn Mendes is single!

[quote] plus his shirt colors are the pansexual flag.

His shirt is listed as a LGBT Pansexual Pride shirt and he's not at Pride sooooo .....

Have the Pansexuals shown a lot of support for Tanner?

22:42

Mark Malkin brings up the possibility of playing the (Batman's) Robin who's bi.

217, it’s not even pride month and he has on a pan shirt, a bi bracelet and a lgbt pin.

He was at Pride earlier in Manchester!

But what does it all mean?!

Now that I know he’s part Filipino, I can’t unsee the Filipino in him.

Are you Filipino?

He really looks Filipino here.

He sure likes to wear makeup.

I think his whole style is basically bisexual glam rock.

Is he from Gabon?

It would not surprise me if nonbinary is in Tanner's future.

Don’t jinx it, R228.

And here he is in a David Bowie shirt.

R219, why is Robert Pattinson his favorite actor? Did he used to love Twilight? It’s not like Robert Pattinson has been in anything really notable since the Twilight franchise.

Didn't Patterson play Salvador Dali? Maybe Tanner wants to be his Amanda Lear...

Pattinson is one of those indie actors that people love now and he was Batman pretty recently.

R233, but Tanner lived Pattinson before he was Batman

It would not surprise me if Tanner was a Twilight fan. He probably went all Nutty Madam when Kristen Stewart backed that thang up on the British director.

R235, yeah, considering how mad he is at Jake Gyllenhaal for taking Taylor’s scarf.

Look at how the rainbow bracelet hangs from his limp wrist…

Here’s Tanner looking like a lesbian. It’s a photo from last year.

I would love it if Tanner had a gay/bi awakening.

I believe he has been having one, R239,

I mean why would he wear a pansexual shirt, a lgbt pin and bisexual bracelet ?

Why would Harry Styles come out in pink faux fur while duetting on "I Will Survive" with Lizzo at Coachella?

When is Tanner going to do some underwear shoots?

On Cobra Kai, he looks something like Jonathan Taylor Thomas, to me.

I honestly think so much of us would look so much better if we were 25 lbs. lighter.

I wouldn't

I love how people judge performers on TV series on "a few minutes" or on one brief scene and decide they know the level of acting on a show or anything about the characterizations. Maybe watch the show and see how they develop their characters. Not every scene is supposed to be a showstopper or a dramatic highlight. Cobra Kai is an ensemble show. By the way, is this the only thread on here about the show?

[QUOTE] By the way, is this the only thread on here about the show?

No

R248 Thanks.

Have any of you seen... Sinister Seduction?

Celebrity Heights website has him at 5' 61/2'.

IN this video almost everyone has to bend down to get a selfie.

Tanner and the blonde have no chemistry.

R242, what a drastic change after just 2 months of him being in the uk .

"Hair Daddy"...

Is he going to come out as non-binary here? If I didn’t know ego he was, I’d be unable to tell if he’s a guy or a girl here.

Wearing Bash’s t-shirt design today:

Is Tanner trying to inch his way out of the closet or is he just a massive tease?

R258, I’m not sure if he is trying to inch his way out of the closet or he is secretly dating his female co-star who he’s been spotted/photograp several times this year outside work. They are attached to the hip and both have broken up with their long term significant other.

Tanner loves skater boys…

R260, is that pic new? Still confuse on tanner if he’s inching out or dating Mary.

The easiest answer? He’s a bisexual who is dating a girl.

It’s funny how we all speculate on celebs being lgbt on social media and here is Tanner giving us clues but no one is taking the bait.

R263, Pretty sure he's been giving more than just "clues" but outside of a certain group of people he's just not that popular.

[quote]They are attached to the hip and both have broken up with their long term significant other.

Or they're friends. They were friends even before this. She could be his hag. There's more evidence for that than there is anything else.

Either way, people don't wear the stuff this person is wearing, consistently, at nearly every public event, unless they're saying they are not straight. He wants to be photographed wearing this stuff at meet and greets. He doesn't care if people speculate or casting directors have an issue with him.

Harry Styles might wear pearls and a skirt but he's not walking around Pride with a shirt telling people to suck him off.

He may not be gay either.

I wonder if he auditioned for the part of Hulking. Marvel only wants to cast gay actors in their upcoming gay roles. A part in the MCU is a good reason to want to come out. Tanner still having Sebastian Croft as his IG profile picture could be him manifesting kissing Joe Locke in the future. Sebastian’s boyfriend Joe had already been cast as Wiccan.

R264, do you think a gay and a hag would wear matching shirts that say “Bone Daddy” and “His Doll”?

He ‘s had an lgbt awakening ever since he filmed in the uk with Joe.

[quote]Do you think a gay and a hag would wear matching shirts that say “Bone Daddy” and “His Doll”?

R266, Yes. I do. Or have you never had one?

It's like a girlfriend who isn't your girlfriend and you're like her boyfriend but you don't want to have sex with her so she doesn't feel threatened. It's like having an office wife.

I have never seen a hot twink actor try so hard to come out and the gay media take no interest!

Countdown to being cast in a Ryan Murphy show…

I have no idea if he's straight or gay or whatever. But he sure is lovely.

R271, such a cute little slut!

R269, yea it’s strange since Cobra kai is Netflix most popular and top rated show and the only one talking about this is here on DL and it’s not even a popular thread.

R273, Tanner has 4.1 IG followers and the gay media celebrates Dylan Geick who only has 600K+ followers.

4.1 million^

He looks great here in undies doing a Risky Business dance.

Dang i saw more pics and he was at a huge Liverpool panel with that shirt and he really wanted people to see. Idk what his intentions are…

Here is the vid

R277 Liverpool is one of the most gay-friendly cities in the U.K. fwiw. Full of historic gay clubs & drag bars, very visible at Pride, a longtime home for gay runaways in the North.

R279, are you suggesting that Tanner is just wearing those clothes to be gay friendly and show allyship?

He’s so, so teeny! I mean, he looks 5’2 or something.

R281, does that go for his weenie as well?

R280, or it’s method acting like with Austin and his accent? He has a movie coming out with Joe and maybe he ends up with his character instead of the girl?

R283, he has a movie coming out with BASH.

As opposed to just plain coming out with Bash.

[Quote] Idk what his intentions are…

He could have your dick in his mouth and you'd probably say the same...

Reformatted link.

[Quote] I have never seen a hot twink actor try so hard to come out and the gay media take no interest!

He has to say the words.

[quote]Met the adorable @tannerbuchananofficial and we happened to be twinning in our Bash tshirts. Whilst waiting for the photo op with him, he looked straight over and pointed at my tshirt whilst realising we were twinning. Then I went up to him and told him I can't wait to see him in "how to date billy walsh" and then we spoke about Bash! The next day he took a pic of me in my shirt and said he's seeing Bash on Tuesday and will show him. I'm literally on Tanners phone omg?? @sebastiancroft

Lets see He attended pride twice this year and wore a “Suck me” shirt with his uk fag and hag friends, had on a pansexual pride shirt , lgbt pin, bisexual bracelet, a “queer was always here” and I love skater boys shirt. at the cons ….what else?

Tanner and Mary spend every waking moment together. He can be bisexual, but he's probably fucking her. And there's probably no interest in saying he's anything but straight despite his recent behavior since he had a long term gf he was pretty open about.

R289 Poor Tanner didn't know that's Bash's stalker

Is Mary bi too? Because it would make no sense to be in a new, opposite sex relationship while loudly wearing bi/queer attire if she weren't also queer.

No clue. They both look like they are going though some kind of emo personality change. Their whole looks have changed completely recently.

R293, both of them completely change after they broke up with their their longterm bf/gfs, Tanner even match Mary’s hair color.

I watched a little of their mukbang. Mary talked and talked. Tanner occasionally spoke. It didn't give couple vibes but who knows.

There are new pics of Tanner and Mary at Disneyland for the Holidays. they really are attached to the hip and most likely dating.

Well, I appreciate that Tanner is sending the message, “It’s okay to be sexually attracted to guys, you can still have a girlfriend if you want! It’s cool to acknowledge it.”

Calling yourself bisexual while only dating the opposite sex is the in thing to do.

Tanner’s ex also unfollowed Mary

Hmmm..

Does Mary's ex follow Tanner?

Tanner follows him but he doesn't follow Tanner. Though the guy hasn't updated his IG in years.

Maybe Casse Broadway stopped following Mary to avoid seeing posts including Tanner?

That’s LIZZE Broadway, R302!

I wonder if Tanner got her wooly jazz pants in the break up...

Well, DUH! Look at him…he can smell cookies in Australia.

It isn't the sexuality spectrum I think of when I see him interviewed.

R306, what do you think of when you see him interviewed?

r298 Watch it buddy. We have feelings too.

I don't feel like reading 300 replies. What is the consensus, is he gay or not?

[Quote] what do you think of when you see him interviewed?

I wonder if he was on another spectrum...

At least Joshua Rush has been open about having problems with men. Same as Nico Tortorella.

r311 Joshua is open about having a lot of internalized homophobia. When you say problems with men what do you mean?

R308, No one understands the ... bisexual but came out only after dating or being married to a woman ... struggle like us.

Where is our parade?

R309 Not gay, though could be bi I suppose. He had a long term relationship that ended with a woman and seems to be back in another relationship with his female costar.

Seems like he's going through a phase. Fans really hate it apparently and think he looks like he smells.

Evidence, R314?

Interesting phase…..

Coupler alert.

Lizza Broadway is going to pretend the floor is Mary's face at tap class today.

This is reminding me of when Joshua Bassett came out to take the heat off himself from "devastating" Olivia Rodrigo. Maybe Tanner has been foregrounding his clothing/styling choices to undermine any criticism he may receive over perceived mistreatment of Miss Broadway.

Nah, R319, nobody knows who Ms Broadway is yet, unlike Ms. Rodrigo

Olivia should stop dating gay boys r319 She's hardly blameless.

So they're definitely dating.

Those pics aren't especially coupley.

R322, he still loves skater boys! She accepts him, like Claudia Blaisdel accepted Steven Carrington!

I'm not exactly feeling the heat of passion in those pics r322 but what do I know.

But plenty of gay boys in the entertainment industry have girlfriends.

He got a back tattoo. He's dead to me.

R326 Pic?

Tanner doesn’t interest me of the CK cast. He seems sweet and hardworking and he does have a pretty face, but even with all the bizarre fashion choices something about him reads so npc and vacant. All the punk nail polish and smoochy selfies in the world won’t make this guy interesting.

Really, I just want to know if Gianni & Jacob have hooked up. They’re always flirting and bickering and teasing each other.

Tanner and Mary in Disneyland yesterday:

^Aww, Mary’s just so adorable. I love her vibe. If you like cute babyfaced girls, she’s pretty much the dream.

R306/R310 well, fwiw I have clinically diagnosed ASD/Asperger’s, and my radar for others with it is usually pretty good, but Tanner doesn’t register as ASD for me at all. I think Gianni Decenzo could be, though.

Were they there with kids? I don't trust adults who regularly go there without some.

Will there be a new season?

He’s a cutie

Very plain AWG.

[quote] I could see Tanner coming out as bisexual at around age 30.

Bisexuals are a bore.

This guy reads as straight to me.

Tanner showed a sign of life and liked Sebastian Croft’s Instagram post.

Bulge

How to Date Billy Walsh coming in September. Tanner plays Billy Walsh.

You know how they’re pretending to be each other? Is there a twist in this film where the characters all end up switching bodies?

Okay, in this new podcast, around 35:50, he mentions that 10 Things I Hate About You is up there as one of his favorite rom coms but just because ‘s in love with Heath Ledger.

Around 40:40, he mentions Magic Mike is a good sexy rom com.

At 44:20, he asks if they think Ryan Gosling is attractive. He doesn’t think Ryan Gosling is attractive until Ryan Gosling takes his shirt off and then he thinks he’s attractive,

Good god, I hope he’s not transitioning.

By the way, in his appearance in the above link, he says she goes shopping in the women’s section at Abercrombie and Fitch! He likes clothes that make his ass look good.

Oops, forgot to post the link:

R344, I can only assume you've been in a cave for the past few decades, but guys under 30 (not counting MAGAts) are broadly *supportive* of the queer community. I'm not scrolling all the way back through this long-ass thread, but I assume someone's noted that Tanner appeared in London's Pride parade when he was in the UK in 2022 shooting "Billy Walsh," along with the cast of "Heartstopper" (also filming around the same time).

They're called ALLIES. Supporting queer rights doesn't mean you need to *be* queer any more than supporting a woman's right to an abortion doesn't mean you need to either be a cis female. Playing a queer – or queer-adjacent role – doesn't make you *are* queer.

R347, what does that have to do with Tanner saying he’s in love with Heath Ledger or wearing a shirt with pansexual pride colors or a shirt that says “I ❤️ SKATER BOYS”?

R348, you might want to bone up on some remedial math. Tanner was 9 when Heath Ledger died. He was not "in love with him." And as already noted, he was on the otherwise almost entirely queer float at London Pride 2022. Neither of these facts suggests Tanner is a closet case; rather, he's a straight guy in the mold of the two hetero stars of that *other* big Amazon movie much discussed on here ("Red, White & Royal Blue"), though I know plenty of you bitches will never buy that any of the above are straight, and will continue to make much ado about nothing, namely photos of any of the above with any halfway-decent guy.

Again, when was the last time you left the house? If anything I'm actually getting a bit irked by how many restaurants, bars and retailers all sport queer/pan pride flags: they do *not* mean a business is queer-specific, but rather that they support queerdom generally. It's also in no way unusual for Gen Z types to wear shirts with pride colors. Nonetheless, Tanner has given zero REAL indication that he's anything but straight, and has been dating his "Cobra Kai" co-star, Mary Mouser, on and off (mostly on) for at least two years now.

R349, what does the year Heath Ledger died have to do with when Tanner first watched 10 Things I Hate About You?

James Dean died in the ‘50s. Can you still be in love with him when watching Rebel Without a Cause today? Yes.
