COLTO GOES TO HOLLWOOD!

At age 14 he was a stripper in Witcha Kn and had a 40 yo BF.

I could never understand why so many of these guys had a thing for farm play. But I could sell a farm scene: I was from the Midwest, a little town in Kansas called Andale, northwest of Wichita. I thought it was weird that my phone-operator job had nothing to do with the way I looked, since that was the only thing about me that had ever been affirmed — mostly by much older men. My first serious relationship, if you could call it that, at 14, was with a man in his 40s who worked in the area. I began go-go dancing at a gay bar in Wichita that same year — fake ID in hand — after sneaking in one night with a few castmates from my community-theater program. I felt at home there. The thumping of the beat rattled the club, and from up on the box, all the men looked like wild animals. We danced in cowboy hats, low-rise boot-cut jeans, and no underwear, sweat trickling down our abdomens toward our shaved crotches.

I feel like chicken tonite...

By age 15, I got my first modeling agent. I had submitted photos to the top agencies in New York hoping they’d be my ticket out of my provincial hometown. When I got a message on Myspace in 2005 asking if my then-boyfriend, Jay, and I would pose for a gay magazine called XY, I didn’t think twice. As soon as I got there, I knew exactly what to do. I took my shirt off. I changed into a pair of shredded jeans. I began lifting dumbbells. I put a beanie on and stuck my tongue out. I looked up at the camera, trying to fuck it the way I’d seen boys do in other shoots. I crawled on my knees, changed into a pair of pants with a hole in the crotch, and lay on the bed shirtless with my legs spread so you could see my white underwear through the rip in the groin. Everything but the camera fell away. It felt just like dancing at the club.

Sex Scene " rehearsal" The next day, I met Ethan at his apartment, where he was rooming with a few other young actors, all of whom seemed straight and uninterested in befriending me.

“We’re going to have to get really comfortable with each other if we’re going to do this during sexy-scene night,” Ethan said as we began reading together.

“What’s sexy-scene night?” I finally asked.

“We all do sex scenes where we have to get fully naked,” he said. “It teaches us how to be comfortable showing our bodies onscreen.”

“We’re doing this scene naked?”

“Yes.”

“We’re doing a sex scene?”

“We don’t actually have sex,” he said. “But according to this stage direction” — he flicked through the pages — “I’ll be mounting you and thrusting in and out of you. And we have to make out. So why don’t we get it out of the way and make out now? So we’re both comfortable.” I must have looked confused. “I’m straight,” he added. “Just so you know.” Ethan grabbed me by the back of my head and kissed me for longer than I was expecting. Our lips pressed together. He gazed into my eyes with such tenderness it confused me. Were we about to actually have sex? Or was this acting? Then his eyes went cold. “Okay,” he said, “let’s run the scene.”

Already a stripper,phone sex operator specializing in "farm scenarios" with a 40 yo boyfriend . And he hadn't even left Kansas!

Colto was used and abused. Sob!

We began with our lines. Eventually, I had to take off my pants. I stared into Ethan’s eyes, feeling everyone else’s eyes on my body. I pulled down my boxers, and I got on my knees. I turned Ethan, bare naked, toward the audience and began performing a fake oral-sex scene on him. Then he threw me down on all fours and simulated penetration while my dick flapped back and forth, slapping against my stomach. I closed my eyes so I wouldn’t have to look at the audience.

After it was over, we put our clothes back on and stood onstage while Brad critiqued us. “Your balls hang so low,” he marveled to Ethan.

“Thank you,” Ethan said.

Then Brad’s gaze turned to me. “Colton, we have got to cut that hair,” he said. “And please stop moving your forehead so much. It looks like I could grow crops in those lines. We’ve been over this already.” Of all the things that had happened to me in my life, I had never felt more demoralized.

^ Was he demoralized by the sexual exploration or the haircut?

He should have played the Halle Berry part...

Up first that Thursday night were an actress and actor re-creating Halle Berry’s sex scene from Monster’s Ball. “Make me feel good,” the young woman said, tears streaming down her face. She took off her lacy tank top and revealed her breasts. “I just want you to make me feel good.” She hiked up her skirt and pulled her underwear down to her ankles over her stripper heels.

The young actor playing the Billy Bob Thornton part was already on a hit TV show. I watched, paralyzed, as he unbuttoned his pants, stripped naked, and crawled behind her on his knees. Mascara tears ran down her face. She stared at us, at Brad. As her scene partner took her from behind, she let out a bloodcurdling scream, as if he had really just jammed himself inside her. “Make me feel good!” she screamed. “Make me feel good!” It was disturbing: a young woman pretending to be penetrated in front of a class of actors for the sake of impressing her manager. I was terrified knowing Ethan and I would be performing next.

Rape victim ennui

It's Valley of The Dolls 2.0 !

Later that week, Brad arranged for me to meet a hairstylist at his house. He presented this opportunity like it was a favor, so I pretended to be grateful as the man sheared my hair military short. Brad had just finished working out with his trainer, and there were still beads of sweat on his Botoxed forehead. He was eating a bowl of cereal; milk dribbled down his chin as he appraised my new hair. “There’s the boy everyone will want to see,” he said. “There’s the star.” I felt naked again. I couldn’t hide behind my mop of tween-star hair

[quote]Was he demoralized by the sexual exploration or the haircut?

Probably by the fact that he was particularly vulnerable having just done a simulated sex scene while nude and in front of an audience and then the 'director' chose to ridicule him under the guise of a critique. "Your fuck face is too ugly for us to envision wanting to fuck you", is what he might as well have said.

He was a deer in the headlights. They raped Bambi!

Rentboy School for Method Acting

“Colton, he still isn’t interested,” Brad said flatly. “I’m sorry, but this isn’t working out. Your voice, your mannerisms — they’re still too … gay.” I looked at him incredulously.

“You still have so much work to do. We think you will be better served at a different management company,” he said.

I felt tears trickling down my cheeks. I wiped them away, furious this man was making me cry. “What am I gonna do?” I asked.

“If you’re hard up for money,” he said, “I know a place that might be able to help.” He wrote down something on a business card, then handed it to me. “It’s been a pleasure working with you,” he said. Back at my apartment, I looked at the card. On the back, he’d written “rentboy.com.” I typed it into my browser. It was a site for sex workers.

I don't know her.

R1 Stripping at 14? Did he have no parents?

The internet is forever..

I signed with a new team, but the rules were the same. It considered the XY photo shoot I had done so radioactive it had lawyers send cease-and-desist letters to anyone who posted the images online. When I was photographed cozying up with Lauren Conrad at an event in 2011, I was told not to deny our rumored relationship — better to have the tabloids speculate about us. (She must have known I was gay, but we never spoke about it.) At a photo shoot for a fashion editorial, the XY pictures were up on the mood board. A member of my team threw a fit. I understood because it was explained to me repeatedly — by managers, agents, publicists, executives, producers — that the only thing standing between me and the career I wanted was that I was gay. It was like this for my best years of work, throughout the early 2010s, as I built a career on young-adult shows like MTV’s Teen Wolf and the CW superhero series Arrow. It’s not just straight people who are the gatekeepers — the call often comes from inside the house. I’m eternally grateful to the handful of gay men who created opportunities for me: Jeff Davis, Greg

Best DL Colto thread in years.

R14 Inane. Do think he was breed in a test tube ?

He should write his memoirs in the style of a Jackie Collins novel.

COLTO GOES TO HOLLYWOOD

Soon to be a major motion picture!

^ I've already signed for the lead.

Why does he rename Jerreth as "Jay"?

R19 Starring Timothee Chalamet in the role he was born to play!

My mental health deteriorated, and I grew dependent on alcohol and pills. When a doctor suggested my secret was making me sick, I knew he was right. I came out of the closet in an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2016. I hoped it would set me free, and in some ways it did. An outpouring of support followed. But people also published think pieces saying it had taken me too long; another gay actor implied the way I’d done it was cowardly. And incidentally, the work mostly dried up. When I was closeted, I beat out straight guys to play straight roles, and I played them well. Now, the only auditions I get are for gay characters, which remain sparse. Is that because I’m not very good? Maybe. But that didn’t stop me from booking roles before. It’s no different for the young gay actors I see coming up today, trying to make it in a system that isn’t built for them.

These little gems need to be performed, or at least read aloud. Right now I’m using a slow ‘Norman Bates’ voice. It heightens the experience, you guys should try it.

I think a Colton biopic should actually be a miniseries. His father's suicide, his mother's drinking... there's a lot there before he even made it to Hollywood.

Teen Wolf doesn't go for booze and pills!

Back off bitches, I've got this. And I already have my eyes on who's going to play the lead.

You'd need a full 2 hours just for the Leatham-Fart years...

I saw Brad again a few years after he dropped me. I was at an industry event, and he was sitting at my table along with the actress who had played the Halle Berry character on sexy-scene night. He was still her manager. We locked eyes across the table but didn’t say hello. Later in the night, he came to my side of the table and said quietly to me, “Dropping you was a mistake.”

It should have validated me. Maybe at the time it did. Now I’m not so sure. On some level, he had been right: I was too gay. He’d understood something I hadn’t at the time, which was that all of this, everything in Hollywood, was about selling a fantasy; you just had to know who was buying.

Would Froy take the lead role?

I wonder if Brad filmed those sexy scene nights. It would explain why the actress stayed with him.

and who's SELLING

In our next on-camera class, Brad praised me. “Everyone needs to look at Colton,” he said. “This kid is going places.” I knew what he was doing: withholding validation, then meting it out one morsel at a time so you craved the attention even as you hated him for being stingy with it. It was the kind of behavior that bonded him to the damaged young people who passed through his class. I was happy he had said my performance was strong — as though I had passed the test. People with a stronger sense of self-worth might have quit after being so humiliated, but I belonged here. I guess I was an actor after all.

Has he shot the show with the Broad City creators?

How many of you eldergays jerked off to this article?

Sad how Colton has become such an attention whore.

Tyler Posey had 7 years as the lead on a TV show. He must have snorted a lot of drugs.

R35 Not as many as jerked off on Colton

r38 Is that fake?

"That poor innocent boy corrupted and molested by predatory Hollywood eldergay perverted (democrats)!!

Frau invasion in 5...4... 3.. 2...

R39 Clueless

And now he has his own show on Netflix.

I would diddle Colton. The younger version. Now, meh.

If the whole cast of Teen Wolf were Jeff Davis pass around bottom boys then why was only Colto fired after Season 2?

R44 Because Colton was a diva and thought he could do better!

He singles out Ryan Murphy as a "good gay" because Murphy gave him a role in American Horror Story when he was bloated and washed up.

Both Tyler and Colton look scary now. How could they lose their looks so fast?

So the theme of this thread is "Unlike Colton, I was not able to lose my gay voice by putting highlighters and post it notes in my mouth and did not get roles so now I am going to shit on him."

Got it.

Is Colton a gay role model? A gay icon? DL fave?

I recall seeing him for the first time playing a jock/werewolf (typecasting) in 2010 The Gates. The series was not picked up and Colton landed Tenn Wolf a year later in 2011. So he was essentially a rent boy from arriving in Hollywood 2006-2010? . Four long years of hustling his arse. Sad

The Gates 2011. Funny doesn't mention anything about him selling his "arse" on Rentboy.

Colton Haynes plays Brett Crezski in The Gates, a supernatural series that delves into the well kept secrets of a mysterious gated community. Brett is part of the popular crowd, plays on the football team, dates the prettiest girl in school and runs around with a good pack of kids. But his world gets turned upside down when the Monohan family moves into the neighborhood.

Haynes' career began at the age of 15 when he began modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch while living in New York City. After a move to Los Angeles, an acting career started to take shape with appearances in the television series "CSI: Miami", "Pushing Daisies" and "Privileged".

Telling that in the article he says nothing about his buddies Posey and O'Brien or anything on TW. Especially now that they are going to reboot the show. Is he angling for a part ?

We don't know her.

R51 "Haynes' career began at the age of 15 when he began modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch."

I must have missed this catalog.

Damn, she has a smack-able bottom.

R50 Didn't Tom Cruise do the same eons ago? Allegedly. All Colton lacked was a cult to keep him in the closet.

He was gay, not queer. Jesus.

R54 A & F after he pulled his pants up.

Colty was a used up whore by the age of 18? Sad.

What a nasty washed up old whore. I wouldn't touch it with DJT's little mushroom dick.

OP THIS FUCKIN DOES NOT HAPPEN IN HOLLYWOOD!

I had a subscription to XY and remember saving that issue especially, because of that photo spread.

Colton is a slice of Gay Americana!

Always thought he had a very mature looking face on a little twinks body, a bizarre combo.

[quote]I beat out straight guys to play straight roles, and I played them well.

LOL.

What's Brad's real name? Anyone know?

R64 He has the classic big head(face) small body proportions. This is what makes actors photogenic. Never seen any full frontals so assume he is average. Pretty obvious that he forte was twink bottom

[Quote] Is Colton a gay role model? A gay icon? DL fave?

Do you even go here?

R66 Brad was know as Billy Pitt. His family still calls him Billy. The snap R61 is with Thom Rancine well know "mentor" to young actors.

He means Brad in Colton's article. Stay on topic. This is not a thread about Brad Pitt.

Damnit I'm a VICTIM!

What's the point of this article? It doesn't name names so it won't have legs. Is he angling for a book deal? Gay Interest is a pretty small niche.

He was prime twinkilicious jailbait, I give him that. I don’t recall seeing pics of him prior to beefing up for Teen Wolf. If he was Gogo dancing at age 14 I’m assuming he at least allowed patrons to run their hands on his junk when putting tips in his shorts. I do wonder about whether he had to full on sell his bubbly ass for cash or at least for auditions.

I assume part of his mental troubles is the memories of being physically used over and over in countless degrading ways by everyone he thought could help his career.

^ It was a gay strip club in Wichita Kansas. If you've ever been there, you know those corn feed and corn holed boys sell everything.

Is the hole pic at R54 real?

[quote] Inane. Do think he was breed in a test tube ?

Uh, what?

Corn r75?

Nope.

How did he get the CSI gig without an agent?

R80, please see r54.

The butt pic isn’t him.

He’s obviously looking for a book deal.

Who’s Brad and does anyone have a photo of him?

R52 "is he angling for a part? I would think fluffer.

Perhaps he can do a cameo on Colton Underwood's show. Colton does Colton.

The Ghost of Coltons Past.

[quote] Then he threw me down on all fours and simulated penetration while my dick flapped back and forth, slapping against my stomach.

Colton has a big enough dick that it slaps against his stomach? Doubtful.

R69, are you sure that's Racina? the soap writer; doesn't look like him.

Posey and Hayes were the first two TW cast members promoted as teen heart throbs. Sad to see what's become of them. I'm sure they fucked. At least Hayes has kept some dignity. Posey's OnlyFans is a thirsty desperate train wreck.

Magic Mike has got nothing on Magic Colton, the 14 year old male stripper!

Who do we think the straight tv actor (Ethan?) whose acting exercise was to “fuck” Colton is? And who was Brad?

“Colton, he still isn’t interested. “I’m sorry, but this isn’t working out. Your voice, your mannerisms — they’re still too … gay.” I looked at him incredulously. I felt tears trickling down my cheeks. I wiped them away, furious this man was making me cry. “What am I gonna do?” I asked.

Too gay! Rubbish!

What's become of Colton? He's better off than he's ever been.

R92 Stephen Amell? They were both "working" the audition circuit at the same time. He landed the awful Dante's Cove but quit because he didn't want "the gay" to stick.

Colton and Amell are very chummy. The Ethan guy is portrayed as a cold fish. It was probably someone like Ben Mackenzie - that era, at least.

I don’t think that ass pic is Colton.

Is this picture real? This is CGI? I never read any of this in People! Colton is a normal guy! DREAM ON YOU GAYS!

Is Stephen Amell pregnant at R95?

Colton, honey...

I am practically the same age as Colton and would sneak to to The White Rabbit bookstore in Raleigh every month to by XY magazine. I still remember how good that photo shoot was and how beautiful Colton was. It’s a shame it went out of business. A gay magazine aimed at younger guys with younger guys like XY would never be allowed today.

Everyone knows Colto sold ass, you just know he did.

While I wouldn’t be surprised, I don’t know that.

Colton was the Tony Goodfellow of the 2010s?

Say what you will about him but I think Colton is in a better place mentally and spiritually than Zachary Efron.

I second R104’s motion about Efron. Colton, probably because he’s not as successful, has obviously work through more of his issues than Zac.

Does Bruce Vilanch go for teens? For some reason, I think of him as more of a body builder fancier.

Colton has some intelligence. Zac has never shown any.

Too bad Chaturbate wasn’t around back then or Colton would have definitely been selling hole for tips on it.

it is fascinating. no different than what franco was doing.

so, where did he go to acting school?

Somewhere Kegan Keller is screaming because he wasn’t given the cheat codes for Colton earlier.

So they perform nude for an audience? How do you get tickets for this? Was it ever filmed? It seems weird how they would all just strip naked on stage in front of their peers as if it was nothing.

Well, Colton has received praise for his personality. His social media following reflects that. Whereas Zac became famous at a younger age and much more of a moneymaker; Zac's been kept on a tighter leash.

I remember hearing that London's Drama Centre training sometimes involves stripping off completely.

Frankly I am not surprised at Mr Haynes sordid revelations. Based on my extensive independent research I am well aware of the child traffickers of Demonwood. Will Mr Hayes tell us of his satanic carousing in Mr Tom Hank's boy brothel?. Pray tell us of Mr George Clooney's sodomite nocturns? Mr Steven Speilberg's Hebrew teen boy orgies of the dammed.? By thy works we shall know thee. Rest assured we know! When our true President is reinstated on CHRIST MASS Day. He will purge Commiefornia of these predatory sodomites! Then innocent midwest farm boys like Mr Haynes will be able to safely sleep on their stomachs again. AMEN.

R101 Jareth and Colton were bellissimo. WHET Jareth?

Jerreth!

Jerreth is a made up name. His real name is Jay.

The acting teacher is having them strip naked as a power trip and he no doubt likes to watch. You can get away with everything as an acting teacher.

It's strange that Ethan would do it when he's already on a TV show and he clearly wasn't interested in Colton.

R95 Not Efron. I'm going with Stephen Amell that would explain why Colton was so eager to ditch TW for Green Arrow. Those bois had a history.

The casting couch is old and it exists in other professions besides acting. Also many actors are damaged, mentally unstable people from shitty abusive environments hence their intense drive for fame and recognition which influences them to fuck for roles and backstab others. Colton's story isn't new. But he's at least open about it and is embracing it. I respect he's honest and not a phony like Miss Cruise.

He didn’t confess to any sexual acts.

If I were him, I would have pretended that I choked and fled before performing nude for the acting class.

I believe the nudity is about throwing away any inhibition to "become" the character. You know, the wooden actors who don't put 100% in their performance and give the viewer or audience any subtlety that matches the character, his emotions and backstory.

A lot of closet cases are wooden actors, because they don't want to come off as fags or effeminate.

And yeah, a lot of acting coaches and teachers push their students to the brink of emotional exhaustion, so the mental walls come down, and raw emotion can be found and shaped to fit the character's motivation for an emotional scene.

This wasn’t just a nude scene. It was simulated sex.

Ethan grabbed me by the back of my head and kissed me for longer than I was expecting. Our lips pressed together. He gazed into my eyes with such tenderness it confused me. Were we about to actually have sex? Or was this acting? Then his eyes went cold. “Okay,” he said, “let’s run the scene.”

Ethan= Stephen

R124 Kevin Spacey Dir. Old Vic.

Ethan could be anyone on TV at the time. Would someone cast as a lead in a successful series still be going to acting class?

That struck me too R128

In terms of acting, the issue in LA is that you have all these very pretty men and women who have never studied acting before aside from having maybe had a minor role in a high school play, and have zero idea what they are doing. So teaching them must be tough.

The lucky ones are able to create a persona (Tom Cruise) and pretty much play that persona in every movie.

So Colton has seen Stephen Amell’s uncut cock?

I fear Colto has more likely seen and tasted the cocks of some obese ugly casting agents, prospective managers, or producers.

Yes, working actors still go to class. I have gone to acting school, classes and college level. Degree in it. Yes, nudity can be a part of what you chose to do, but never necessary. I have never seen or heard of full on simulated naked fucking in front of a class. That is extremely unprofessional and an abuse of power. Anyone who would submit to doing that for a CLASS no less is clueless and has zero self esteem.

I don't think Colton sees himself as a victim when it comes to the sex stuff, (except for that class). He seems to posit that he was completely comfortable with his sexuality. The hiding of it is what he feels victimized by. And I am sure he sold his ass for fun and for rent and for jobs. He seems completely comfortable with it. And I don't think he really has a problem with it. A lot of people have no problem fucking for parts. If you could guarantee a career from just fucking someone, who wouldn't do it? It's when you fuck and it leads absolutely no where do you feel used.

These days, there are professionals on film and TV sets called intimacy coaches or coordinators who deal with sex / making out scenes. Even before COVID-19.

And people don’t go full nude for sex scenes. There are cock pouches and vagina sticker patches.

I mean it sounds pretty awful. He was stripping at 14? Whoah. I think he is saying how he was treated really like a commodity. Not many men are open about that- particularly straight men, but it obviously goes on. It's horrible. He didn't have anyone to protect him and that is sad. How can you look at someone that young and abuse your position? It doesn't seem worth it

Who is "Ethan"?

Case Walker from The Other Two would make a good boywhore Colto for the TV movie biopic of his early days.

LOL at the stuff about "dating" Lauren Conrad. Sad that this kind of thing still goes on

The thing is, nobody said "No!" to him. If I remember correctly, he begged his mom to sign the release form for him, so he could do the XY shoot since he was still underage at the time. He went down a path filled with predators without the maturity to understand what it will cost him. And I presume that this article is about him saying that it cost him dearly, a cautionary tale.

No, it didn’t cost him dearly since he got fame and fortune from it. If his mom said no, then he would be a waiter at a Denny’s today.

r140, is that your opinion or Colton's?

Case in point, R140. Though I don’t really agree. Colton seemed determined to get out of his small-town life.

But the thing is he shouldn't have had to pay that price is the point

I am not sure what world you're living in R143. Saying he shouldn't to pay that is as naive as saying life isn't fair. When you enter in a career where a commodity is your "fuckability" I think you know what you might be up against. People become leading men and women in Hollywood based on how many people would fantasise about having sex with them. You have a handful of outliers who have broken that mold, but very few.

One thing I did like about going to school for acting is how attractive, for the most part, your classmates are. No, everyone isn't beautiful. But for the most part, people are attractive in some way. And what people lack in looks they make up for with their personality. And you get very intimate, and very close. No, it isn't sex but it is like group therapy which reveals things about your classmates that makes you feel like you're in a relationship with them.

Cliche to say but he seems beautiful inside and out. You don't see the same amount of self-awareness and self- reflection from other pretty boys. You could easily write Colton off as another braindead arrogant himbo but he isn't. He seems very emotionally intelligent and goodnatured. He'll be an industry lifer because those emotional connections and kindness matter a lot when your looks start to fade.

R145, I would argue he has to be more self-aware and likely to be open with his life story because he came out. It’s really the only choice he has now.

When your whole life is built around living a lie would seem to inhibit self awareness and honesty.

I can't believe poor Max Jenkins got name-checked on THIS thread... LOL

[quote]Ethan could be anyone on TV at the time. Would someone cast as a lead in a successful series still be going to acting class?

Many actors, even after they're what you could call "successful" still take acting classes and have acting coaches. Sometimes you do it to brush up, sometimes you do it because you want to go out for a role and you need help working through something or other that you haven't done before. There are some acting coaches that specialize in dealing with A listers.

[quote]No, it didn’t cost him dearly since he got fame and fortune from it.

I don't think that's necessarily what he was writing about. He doesn't seem to be passing much judgment on certain aspects of his life. He focuses primarily on how he was once confidently queer and yeah, after everything he'd been through, that manager was right. He was "too gay" for Hollywood.

He "dated" someone he shouldn't have been, he was a go-go dancer, he did phone sex, he stripped naked in front of a class full of people, etc. At no point does he really delve into how he feels about any of that, where his parents were, whether or not anyone was wrong, etc.

Now that I think about it, this article is kind of brilliant but like he says at the start, he was "confidently queer" initially. Hollywood changed that but they weren't apparently wrong.

[quote]Saying he shouldn't to pay that is as naive as saying life isn't fair.

Two things can be true at once. He shouldn't have had to pay that price but that's the way it goes for some people. Not everyone does but you can't do better unless you know better.

Who is Colton Hayes?

R70 "this thread is not about Brad Pitt. Stay on topic!..

Actually it is. This snap is illustrative of Colton and Brad Pitt and all the other pretty boys from the sticks who have to cuddle up to grotesque powerful and offer up their arses to get a part. It's an old story. Perhaps even older then you R70 but I doubt that.

R133 How can I get a job as an "Intimacy Coach". I want to be paid to make sure Chris Hemsworth's cock sock is secure.

So many Hollywood pretty boys were "discovered" by older men who got them onto the big screen.

R152, I don't understand what you're talking about.

R128 Colton writes that he recognized Nathan from a successful TV show. Not that he was the star or the lead of that show. By 2007 Stephen Amell had been fired from the cheesy Dante's Cove because he was uncomfortable doing gay sex scenes. Perhaps he was taking acting classes in LA to overcome this "artistic block"? He was just another young pretty boy doing bits and looking for work. In 2007 Amell did have a minor reoccurring role in a successful Canadian TV show called Rent-a-Goalie. Perhaps Colton watched Canadian TV? My monies still on Stephen Amell = Nathan

[quote] It’s no different for the young gay actors I see coming up today, trying to make it in a system that isn’t built for them.

The problem is that coming out doesn't come with a material reward like a never-ending supply of career opportunities and acting gig offers. Having the weight off your shoulders should be rewarding enough. And the realization that the system that is still in place is also the one that pushed guys like Colton in the closet in the first place. This system will not reward people who dare to defy its rules.

Hollywood is still homophobic behind the scenes and will not give openly gay people a fair chance to shine and earn big bucks. There are a few good eggs who give openly gay actors and openly gay celebrities jobs and roles, but they can't provide permanent employment for every single out gay. Hell, Hollywood can't guarantee that for straight celebs either.

Even a change of leadership will not change the fact that Hollywood is a cruel business that only hires those who will make them money (and actors without backup will get blamed if the project underperforms). And that's what it will remain its no.1 priority. Hollywood doesn't validate anyone, unless you're someone with power and have an insecure ego to satisfy by being cruel to those who have no power.

It's called show BUSINESS baby!

14 and dancing at a gay Bar? When I was 14 I was collecting baseball cards....Solo in NYC at 15!!! I'm surprised he made it to where he is...Was his older gay brother around?

Up until the studio system PR depts concocted their backstories , most actors were just assumed to be homosexual or whores or both.

R158, lies! All lies!

"All I know how to do is take off my clothes!"

R152 The" Hollywood Casting Couch Is An Over Blown Myth thread." has been done to death on DL. There was some old marginal publicist David (Something Or The Other )who use to go berserk every time someone would post such and such no talent fucked his/her way to stardom. This guy swore that based on his 50 years in "the business" that Phoneywood was the greatest meritocracy ever see. Flash: The old adage "it's not who ya know but who ya blow" was coined by an actor. Yes nepotism does play a part. Sometimes you even have to blow Uncle Saul. But even in the new Hollywood "woke" culture it's not the "killing audition" that gets you the part. It's the wink baby.

R161, yes, the casting couch exists but it's silly to pretend that sleeping with some execs will magically make you A-list. Tons of Z-list actors and actresses slept with some director and exec and have nothing to show for it

R161 I can't wink but I can ...

Charlotte Kirk fucked a bunch of powerful guys but never made it off the D-list

There is a saying that casting couch might get you to the middle, but you have to rely on your own wit and luck to make to the top.

"It's really a very sad story... whym it would make you weep!"

R162 Where did I say A-list ? I said "get you a part". Your lack of comprehension is awe inspiring.

The funniest part was the sex scene simulation nude in front of the whole class.

R165

Confidently queer? Do we not use openly gay anymore?

Why should Hollywood be the exception to the rule. I'm in a non entertainment profession. I've see plenty of employees women and men fuck themselves into a promotion. Some have risen quit highly on their horizontal talents. Their vertical talent leaves something to be desired. We call it The Suck My Peter Principle.

R171 Prostitution is the world's oldest business. Marrying up, using sugar daddies or doing sexual favors for a gig or higher paying position; that's all just prostitution by another name. If you're a good-looking person also, everyone will treat you better, give you opportunities and forgive your for being lazy and fucking up. Beauty privilege is very real. Though we like to say "looks don't matter." Colton is like a modern James Dean, a Midwestern gay hoe with a photogenic face who made it to Hollywood by sheer will and fucking older men. If Colton was a few decades older, he would have been a major star like Beatty and Newman.

WHET to his hubby? Only hitched for 16 months. Not exactly Pete & Chasten

R173 Is that the florist?

What R171 said. This kinda stuff happens wherever there are men with money and power. As for young men and women like Colton, who just have a face and body, your bargaining position seems pretty obvious...

The ex-husband was with Tyler Nixon.

Colton went thru a pretty rough few years. Split with his florist husband Jeff Leatham . His mum died of cancer. He moved to the country. The anti depressants he was on packed on the pounds. He seems to be a nice guy not very forceful and easily manipulated by his handlers. Give him credit for coming out. Better late then never. IMO he's ok actor and still handsome at 33 yo. Does he have any projects in the works? Think this new article may be a way to get some extra publicity. Wish him better times.

R175 Rick what is the purpose of your link ?This is the third time you've posted a link to the film Brainstorm. Colton was born on 1988 so don't think he was in the cast.

He’s spamming a lot of threads R178

[quote]If Colton was a few decades older, he would have been a major star like Beatty and Newman.

Stop it. Enough with this. He’s not even close to this! You think “Coloto” could direct Reds? ENOUGH!

Damaged. You can see it in his eyes.

It's kind of sad that there was no one to protect him or to intervene from all this grooming.

He doesn't seem vengeful at all he actually seems like a sweet guy

^ Thanks. Blocked.

Or co-write Reds?

[quote]Coloto

Like evolution toe?

He had a cameo in the Lil Nas-X vid. Industry Baby .Colton is a racist cop who gets the shit kicked out of him.

Sorry. I was just putting my blog out there if anybody wanted to see it. New here, didn't mean to upset people.

No problem. A lot of people would be interested in it if you made a thread about it.

R186 Thank you Rick . I've unblocked you. Your blog looks very interesting. Especially liked the post on Gefforey Scott from Dynasty. He was a dead ringer for my first love.

Thanks, wasn't trying to hijack the thread, just showing I'm interested in showbiz stuff.

Colton's latest film entitled Triumph released this year. Don't know if it was a theatrical release. He plays the jock friend of the main character who has cerebral palsy. It's a wrestling film so perhaps we get to see him in a singlet.

Back to Colton, he seems like a decent guy trying to find his way career-wise and personally. He reminds me of a throwback to a Tony Curtis or Rock Hudson kind of star. Back then, the studio would build them up as heart throbs, then give them meatier parts to see if they had talent. Sometimes they did, or sometimes they didn't, like Guy Madison. But today, pretty faces like Haynes have to navigate this without a studio guiding them...

Colton & Stephen appear to share a bond that goes beyond just being in the same cast. Good for them.

it's a shame she got so fat and ugly

R191 Back in the day, Colton would definitely be considered a Henry Willson boy.

[quote]Colton is like a modern James Dean, a Midwestern gay hoe with a photogenic face who made it to Hollywood by sheer will and fucking older men. If Colton was a few decades older, he would have been a major star like Beatty and Newman.

Stars with actual talent who opened /and directed/ movies and won Oscars =/= Colton Haynes

Colton is a mediocre talent to say the least. And what's worse, for all his beauty he doesn't have an inch of charisma on screen.

No acting "class" where you have to simulate fucking and blow jobs in front of a teacher and the class is a legit acting class. They don't teach how to do porn at Yale Drama School. Kids like Colton who were doing this, their self esteem must have been in the gutter.

R195 Well he moved me to tears.

He got the Hillary Rodham Clinton Visibility Award?

Bless your heart R196

Ethan was Evan Peters.

R193

R201, DISGUSTING.

Colton did what many pretty gay boys did in the 80's. Stuck in Bumfuck feeling like a freak in their butt crack little towns the grabbed their boyfriend (s) loaded up the Mazda and headed out to big bad LA for fame and fortune. Unfortunately for many of my Coltonesque friends their careers ended in an AIDS ward. A generation of beautifully talented what might have beens wiped out. I still here their voices and see their bellissimo faces. Glad Colton's generation got their chance.

R202 yes R193 is certainly that.

R195 Well Beatty, Newman and Dean were trained and developed by the studio system. They did theatre work too. And they all were chosen for their beauty not talent and used the casting couch for roles. I'm sure if Colton was born in their time, he would have done that type of training and development by the studio system to become a major Hollywood star.

R205 No, that was an earlier generation, if you mean trained in acting. Dean and Newman trained at the Actos Studio and Beatty trained with Stella Adler. Dean also studied theatre at UCLA and Newman studied at Yale School Of Drama.

This seems like a story from the 1970s - not 2010. I wasn’t a naive kid and was in gay bars at 15. But a stripper at 14?! And working a phone sex line in Hollywood at 17-18? He has to be damaged to have gone that route in the 21st century. That is pretty hard core hustling. Maybe expected of a kid who was kicked out of the trailer at 14 after years of abuse. But no stable kid starts that young and goes that hard into it. I’m shocked he goes there - but he does strike me as not the most strategic, smartest kid in Hollywood. Grabbed his 15 minutes - but now like a porn star or escort, it’s going to be really hard to settle into a normal, happy, simple life. Damaged.

R206 Regardless. They still were chosen by studios on their looks and marketability. Dean used the casting couch to get ahead. They were all were imitators of Montgomery Clift and Marlon Brando. If Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves and Brad Pitt can become huge Hollywood actors, I don't think Colton was disqualified either.

[quote]Was his older gay brother around?

I believe so as Colton lived in Texas for a time which is where Joshua lived (they are half siblings). But Colto was out living that life while Joshua was getting an education and another sister was in the military.

R205 cannot part with the delusion that Colton Haynes has the level of talent of a Paul Newman.

R207 You type like an old damaged cunt.

R210 He certainly has the level of talent of a Tab Hunter or Troy Donahue.

Dean was molested by his minister after his mother died. It might explain his promiscuity and why he had no qualms about trading sex for television roles.

I must not have any reading skills because the anecdote has him sneaking into a gay bar and dancing. Nothing about being an UNDERAGE STRIPPER in a gay bar. So I guess its me and I can't read right.

R214, yes it’s you who can’t read “right.”

He details what “we” wore while go-go dancing. Random people dancing on speakers in a gay club don’t have matching uniforms.

Kids spontaneously being exhibitionists is not being a STRIPPER IN A BAR. Walking into a shitty dive bar and hopping on a tiny dirty black "podium" and gyrating is not being A STRIPPER IN A BAR.

Even the trashiest bar is not going to hire a 14 yo boy and PAY him to put a MINOR on public display as a stripper. No bar owner is this stupid.

Channing Tatum was REALLY a stripper in a bar. He wasn't a minor. He was young. And it wasn't even that sleazy. This is being a twink STRIPPER. Colton snuck into a bar and shook his twink ass for attention. That is not being a STRIPPER:

R210 Did I say he was as talented as Newman? The point I was making was Colton's looks are movie star level and had he existed in a previous era, he would have been scouted by a studio and developed into a heartthrob leading man. He probably would have been made to do acting lessons and other types of training to come across as less wooden. But whether or not he is talented or extremely charismatic meant little in Hollywood, then and now, it's about marketability and selling magazine covers. Getting people to see the movies and being photogenic and likable is more than enough for that.

Nothing says stable home environment like stripping at 14.

I disagree that Colton has no charisma onscreen. He's an effective antagonist in a light comic style.

[quote]Did I say he was as talented as Newman? The point I was making was Colton's looks are movie star level

Yes, you did, he'd have had their career if only he was born earlier.

Nonsense, there were hundreds of Coltons at the time too, pretty faces on the casting couch who didn't go anywhere. There's no shortage of Coltons at any time in this industry.

But there's a distinct lack of Newmans.

Newman, Beatty, Brando, Dean weren't just pretty faces. They were charismatic performers. And they had talent.

R214 You're about as much an idiot as the people thinking those acting classes were legit

[quote]My first serious relationship, if you could call it that, [bold]at 14[/bold], was with a man in his 40s who worked in the area. [bold]I began go-go dancing at a gay bar in Wichita that same year — fake ID in hand[/bold]

He was a pass around bottom long before he made it to LA

R224 I think you mean he was groomed long before he made it to LA. Funny how many DLers want to ignore the role of old perverts and instead blame their victims.

He reminds me of a young Alec Baldwin. There's not a reason in the world why he can't now go on to build a rewarding career. Providing no one hands him a live gun!

He was essentially 'the perfect twink.' Think how hot he would be now if he maintained a healthy lifestyle and didn't become a used up bloated out alcoholic coke whore.

R227 if he'd never come to LA, he'd be dead or in a trailer park

[Quote] He was essentially 'the perfect twink.' Think how hot he would be now if he maintained a healthy lifestyle and didn't become a used up bloated out alcoholic coke whore.

What year are you posting from? Colton lost the chunk years ago.

[Quote] Funny how many DLers want to ignore the role of old perverts and instead blame their victims.

Many DLers are old and perceive themselves as unfuckable. It's no surprise that they type as they do.

I doubt the actor he refers to is Stephen, as he writes about him with clear disdain. And Colton seems to have a good relationship with Amell so that doesnt really square. My guess that the writer in his 50's was gus van sant. The hypocrite homo that eventually signed him was Podwall. I get why he feels upset at Noah Gavin, but he only said what we all thought. Noah is also a gay icon for calling out Bryan Singer and the fact he was blacklisted and had his career ruined despite later being vindicated, is an utter shame. There arent many celebs that I have any admiration for, but Noah really just straight up told the world Bryan was a p*do and his career was destroyed as a result.

James Franco was sued and lost $2 million dollars for his nude acting classes .

[quote] and his career was destroyed as a result.

Destroyed? Mary!

He’s on The Good Doctor and dating Ben Platt.

I'm not an idiot. R1 started the idiocy labelling Colton a "stripper" when Colton's words describe a different scenario. Then a bunch of other dumb DL cunts just went with it, the "stripper" label. He was boy with a fake ID who went dancing like a little lolita twink in a gay bar. Not a "stripper".

Yes. I wonder if the blaming of the victim is to do with the fact they are jealous? A mixture of I wish I had sex when I was younger but was too scared etc. Then all the he is damaged, used up etc. it doesn't sound like it was all a bed of roses at all for Colton. But it seems that's what people hope on here too. They get off on it, are jealous and want to blame the pretty boy who would never look at them. Now that is a tale that is old as time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...poor Colton...boo-hoo-hoo...

Now where is this bar in Kansas with 14 year-old boy strippers???

You have friends?

Red some stories from gay men that work behind the scenes and shockingly women are more homophobic than men in the industry, red one story about how a big female producer and her assistant were loudly guessing who was a "faggot" in the shoot, so I don't buy any of Hollywood's fake "inclusivity", Hollywood eats up people with insecurities, you have to be cold and dead inside to make it in that business.

Like the most hated celebs like gweny are just being their real genuine cuntastic selfs, no fake humble act.

A sense of humor is wasted on R237.

Although, maybe it's his inability to spell that gets in the way...?

WOW. He's had quite a life. Enh...wayyy more interesting than mine. I'm a little envious, honestly. At fourteen, I was walking to school praying that I wouldn't get attacked by stray dogs because my mom was too lazy to take me.

Struggle builds character. He owns up to his past and it shaped who he is today. He still got the fame he wanted.

Also with all the former child and teen stars opening up about abuse. It's becoming apparent the abuse all starts at home prior to entering Hollywood. If Colton was fucking older men and dancing underage in gay bars for money in bumblefuck town. He would have no qualms about using the casting couch to get modeling gigs and later acting gigs. He knows he's extremely goodlooking and got attention from older men. He used his looks as a bargaining chip to escape his surroundings. Extremely driven.

He’s a pedophile victim

I don't know about pedophilia but he was targeted by the older men who prey on gay teenagers from religious and conservative environments. I wouldn't be surprised if he was diddled with as a little kid. But so far he makes no mention of that. He just said he was seeing older men when he was in his teens.

The most interesting thing about that article is the fact his ex, Jerreth Ludwig, used to go by “Jay.”

The article does sort of peter out. It could have done with a big finish.

It was written by a former phone sex operator with a high school education, R247. What did you expect?

^^ Per US magazine.

[quote]Jerreth Ludwig, used to go by “Jay.”

I think Colton didn't want to use his actual name so used "Jay" as a stand-in.

R238, women are not more homophobic than men, look at how straight guys in the industry go out of their way to deny any gay rumors.

Colton wants his come back... in showbiz.

He also says the 40+ year old man when he was 14 was his first SERIOUS relationship. God only knows what happened before that

Can you believe that there is a duplicate thread to this one?

I mean come on. How pathetic can people be.

[quote] Colton wants his come back... in showbiz.

Well, he would have to come first before he can have a come back.

Par for the course these days R254

R255 He came loads on various old geezers in HW... Hasn't he paid his due?

And you know that middle aged creep wasn't using condoms.

Just to course-correct the thread. He wasn't a stripper and he wasn't just a twink he went to bars and danced. The article states he was a Go-Go boy. Go-Go Boys do not strip but they are HIRED by an establishment to dance around a club in their underwear. Stripping is not usually part of it since they start off in their underwear. To be a Go Go Boy at 14 years old is very sexually mature, especially when I consider I had my first orgasm at 12.

Hollywood is the exception because it is in industry based on sex and sex appeal. Tonya might have sucked her way into her promotion at the accounting firm. But the success of her job isn't dependent on her fuckability. Leading men and Leading Woman's careers, not character actors, are based on their sex appeal, their face, body, charisma and if people want to fuck them or not. And people are right, sex will open the door, it does not guarantee a career. There are several desperate people who have fucked themselves to nothingness.

This is the reason why roles for gay actors dry up when they come out because the fantasy is broken. It's too much a jump in the female viewers mind that the hunk of a gay man wants to fuck them. The only actor I've seen to successfully play straight AND do straight sex scenes after coming out is Jonathan Groff. But most of the actors who come out end up JUST playing gay. Fortunately more gay roles are being written into series now.

And anyone else remember Stephen Amell in HBO's Hung before Green Arrow?

[quote]Red some stories

Oh, deer...

No. No, actually no one had to.

He uses the term gogo boy but if you ask the bar manager you would get a blank stare. No bar is hiring 14 yo GOGO BOYs, or STRIPPERS. Yes, he snuck into gay bars and danced around with his buddies and fantasized he was a pogo boy. He was not paid by anyone to be gogo boy. Sheesh.

[quote]There are several desperate people who have fucked themselves to nothingness.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

You guys act like gay bars operate like every other business in the country. I worked at a few during school and never once did I have to provide ID or a SS#, I got paid cash, and never got a W2. In NC where I worked, we also hired go-go boys who either wore two pair of underwear (to keep their dicks from falling out when they got sweaty) or a matching outfit like Colton described. To those saying g he was just sneaking in and living a fantasy, why does he mention they “we” wore cowboy hats and low-rise jeans? Like gay teens were wearing cowboy hats en masse to gay bars in the mid-90s.

None of what he says sounds made up, and is totally believable to someone who worked in gay bars just after the time he would have.

Because a college boy working in a bar is different than a 14 yo boy. No bar is hiring 14 year of gogo boys. You can't hide 14.

[quote]The only actor I've seen to successfully play straight AND do straight sex scenes after coming out is Jonathan Groff.

Matt Bomer seems to be doing better than fine, occasionally playing straight while working consistently but he had to make it as a straight actor before he could come out and fly on his own.

Jim Parsons definitely never relied on his fuckability, he's was just very talented at playing a specific type of "awkward"/"nerdy" person.

R264, Seriously, it was a gay bar in frickin Wichita, Kansas back in the early 2000s. I don't think he's making it up nor do I think that place was on the up and up (of course) and still was able to run in some way.

[quote] You can't hide 14.

R265, if that were the case they wouldn’t have let him in the bar in the first place.

R266 in what Universe is Jim Parsons a leading man? Character actors don't have to be fuckable. They just have to be talented. And Matt Bomer's sex scene with Lady Gaga in American Horror Story was about one of the gayest things I've scene. He is doing well though, but I haven't seen him in any straight sex scene. Jonathan Groff actually was in a long term relationship on Mind Hunters, fucking and going down on his girlfriend pretty convincingly.

I know a bar in Raleigh that hired a 15 yo DJ. Dad would drop him off!

R265 You've lived a very sheltered life Karen.

[quote] You can't hide 14.

I imagine you pretty much HAVE to hide 14.

I imagine Colton looked older than 14. Probably more 17 or 18. That age of puberty from 13 to 21 can be blurred lines. A lot of kids develop early. Models tend to look more mature than their age.

[quote]R266 in what Universe is Jim Parsons a leading man? Character actors don't have to be fuckable.

By the end of Big Bang Theory, it was clearly his and Kaley Cuoco's show. His wish to exit the series, killed it. His character got a spinoff he produced.

[quote]And Matt Bomer's sex scene with Lady Gaga in American Horror Story was about one of the gayest things I've scene. He is doing well though, but I haven't seen him in any straight sex scene.

He's been straight and had sex scenes on more than one series but you've only seen the one where he was some kind of a vampire with Lady Gaga who once wore a dress made of meat, on a Ryan Murphy show? Everything on that man's shows is supposed to be gay!

You should have just said, "I haven't seen most of what this actor has been in so I can't really comment."

If you say so.

yeah totally passes for OK - lets hire him to GOGO

[quote]By the end of Big Bang Theory, it was clearly his and Kaley Cuoco's show. His wish to exit the series, killed it. His character got a spinoff he produced.

r273, Success does not equate leading man status. Just because you have success as a character actor doesn't mean you are a leading man. Dan Devito was the most popular character coming out of Taxi. I doubt anyone would describe him as a leading man. Leading Man is a certain TYPE. A Hollywood leading man is a certain type, look and appeal - and part of that is usually being the lead in a non-comedic film. Jim Parsons will forever and always be a character actor based on his looks, no matter how successful he becomes. Colton obviously has leading men looks. Whether he has the talent or charisma is another matter. But based on his looks alone he could have had a lot of success as a leading man in Hollywood IF he hadn't come out as gay. And that is his point exactly. But it wasn't worth it to him, to his credit. It's just the way it is right now.

[quote] But based on his looks alone he could have had a lot of success as a leading man in Hollywood IF he hadn't come out as gay.

I think the publication of the XY photos weighed against him.

R275 Can pass for a college freshman imho. Between 18 to 20. Helix would hire him in a heartbeat.

From ATRL:

[Quote] I see he still doesn’t talk about how he actively went after my friend’s husband (he’s a photographer) while still in the closet, and tried to get him fired from a campaign when he rebuffed his advances. Let’s talk about that, Colton. Maybe if he wasn’t such a shitty fucking person maybe he’d have more work. It has nothing to do with your sexuality, Colton, it’s YOU.

Another ATRL comment, this one from Cork St. Clair:

[Quote] there is something in this article he is not being truthful about. I grew up in the same area he did around the same time. He mentions the local community theater scene and going to one of the gay clubs and getting work there dancing. Here's what he is lying about: I was an active, VERY active member of the local community theatre scene at this same time. I didn't know him, I'd never heard of him. No one else I know knew him either and I knew all the big players in the local theatre scene. All of them. There were two gay nightclubs at the time and I will also tell you there is no way he regularly danced at one of them at the age of 14 on a consistent basis. In a medium-sized city the gay nightclub and theatre scene overlap a lot. He would have been recognized by too many people who also would have known his age. If he's not being entirely truthful about that, he might not be truthful about other things here.

^LIAR!!

Why does it seem like Colto has been around as long as I've been alive? And I'm almost 60.

He's been discussed here since at least 2011. That's a decade.

I tried to show the obvious tall tales in his picturesquely gritty "origin story", in this thread. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Old perverts much too invested in the exciting fantasy that 14 yo Colton was hired and dancing in a club.

2010

R281 No clue how old you are but as someone in my late 20s I get mistaken for early 20s and when I was in my early 20s got mistaken for mid teens and I am 6 feet tall. Young adults today have younger looking faces but tall and developed bodies. It's a weird mix of staying indoors more, more sunscreen and less cigarettes which keeps the face looking more youthful but the hormones in all the foods are causing precocious puberty. When I look at teens from the 40s and 50s they look absolutely ancient. Colton at 14 and 15 can absolutely pass for a college student. Just like Timothee Chalamet and Harry Styles could pass for high school seniors. The lines are more blurred nowadays.

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

I am a college professor an this does not pass for a college student

R287 That's probably true. But like I said it's relative to the person. Also that's just his face. Who knows how tall he was of if he was pushing 6 feet. Some people look younger and some look older.

Colto and Dan Levy were weirdly flirty on Instagram for awhile pre-pandemic. I wonder if they ever got together.

Is Colton not with that guy who wrote a drugs memoir?

Colton is not tall. Not at all.

Colton will never push 6 feet.

That’s why he didn’t get runway work.

I'm not a go go enthusiast but I recall Jonny McGovern promoting his go go dancers at Fubar on Vine etc. It was all very explicit, not just dick prints but dicks flopping out.

Different states have different laws when alcohol and nudity mix. You can’t show genitalia and serve alcohol in NC, for instance.

This article was much better-written than I expected, he should think about trying to write or produce something in which he could have a part.

The internet denizens trying to claim he’s lying about his early life come across to me as people desperate to distract from some of the disturbing sides of Hollywood Colton describes.

If they make a biopic/mini-series, Colton should play the writer who tells him that his first love relationship will end soon.

[quote] Noah is also a gay icon for calling out Bryan Singer

No, he isn’t. lol. No one even knows him.

A gay guy lying? Shocking.

Colton in general is more than his looks. Like he looks like a typical dumb pretty boy jerk but he's surprisingly intelligent, funny and sensitive. He needs to publish his memoirs one day. Also, his looks are so 1950s wholesome. Like something out of Pleasantville. The pearl clutchers in this thread trying to make it out like Colton was molested.

He was an adventurous gay teen who grew up in a conservative religion environment. He rebelled and got into adult situations. Did older men perv on him? Yes but got what he wanted by exploiting their lust for monetary gains and escaping the area. At 14 myself I would have done the same if I had more confidence and had his looks. He's old enough to know what is abuse or not. He never paints that the go go dancing or older bf was exploitative. And it's important to respect his feelings on the matter.

surprisingly intelligent...uh-huh.

Maybe someday When I look back, I'll be able to say You didn't mean to be cruel Somebody hurt you too R182

I have always believed that he was on Rentboy at one time anyone feel the same way?

Is this bottom whore really trying to play the victim ? All of his decisions were for greed. He’s lucky he didn’t have to do gang bang porn because being a cum dump is probably the only thing he is good for.

R303 I've thought the same. I thought it was common knowledge but the Teen Wolf fangirls kept saying "he's too sensitive and fragile". As if that has anything to do with playing with an old dick for some cash and a place to crash. It's easy money and he clearly has little to no shame in using his looks and sexiness.

R280 Cork ShitClair

This former “pretty” boy has aged like a banana and at just 33 (and even with tons of photo filters and photoshop) he looks like a cracked out old bottom whore. I imagine his used up hole is an even bigger disaster than his face.

What a bloody bizzaro world you Fraus live in. When an openly gay actor tells you how he got where he is you roll your yes and scoff. But when People magazine lauds some obvious closet case fauxmance you're...

R307

[Quote] I have always believed that he was on Rentboy at one time anyone feel the same way?

Fuck your feelings. Show us the receipts!

No. Colton is still handsome. You can't take that away from him.

Agreed he’s still handsome.

I wish he'd stop shaving his hair so close at the sides, though. Maybe he's paranoid about greys or something.

I’m too lazy to scroll back the top and check the article, but I thought he said he had fake id when he was dancing at the bar.

He did. And as others have asserted, it's not unusual to get paid in cash for such gigs.

He's not ugly at all. He's heavier now though. Them cornfed farmboy genes are hard to fight.

He got back in shape long before the pandemic. If he's carrying some quarantine weight, it's not much.

R312 Still handsome in the straight world definitely.... But in the gay world, if there's a wrinkle, you are over the hill and not worth another look.

I think he just needs darker hair and darker eyes. I think the brown hair and blue eyes are what make him look older. His face his fine but his bright eyes make him look off.

Why did he have such dark hair when he was young? Do hair go lighter as you age?

Why is his face so photoshopped at R317?

2016 quote from Colto. I think had superstardoom came his way he would never had brought up these events. Now that he's a B-list (C-list?) actor with a spotty career whose ambition led him to willingly engage with certain people he's letting his regret turn to victimhood.

For those of you who are new to Hollywood or any business …be careful who you work with,’ he warns."Watch out for liars, brainswashers and manipulators. Those who promise you the world then f*ck you over leaving you blindsided.’

It's not. He's photogenic.

[Quote] For those of you who are new to Hollywood or any business …be careful who you work with,’ he warns."Watch out for liars, brainswashers and manipulators. Those who promise you the world then f*ck you over leaving you blindsided.’

That quote is clearly aimed at Podwall.

[quote] ambition led him to willingly engage with certain people he's letting his regret turn to victimhood.

Was it dumb of him to take a class with a producer that had actors and actresses do sex scenes naked? Yes.

But he wasn't the only person in it, furthermore, it seems this guy still works and still manages people that he knew back then.

Colton was also a guy whose father killed himself because he found out he was gay, his mother was absent and had her own issues, he clearly had fucked up relationships as a teenager with men ...

That's the exact kind of person that people like that manager prey on.

So he was ambitious but he didn't have the greatest foundation on which to form guiding principles and build a life. I can't fault anyone who doesn't have their shit together in their early 20s. It seems like it took him a long time to do it on his own because he was clearly on his own.

2016, was 2016 and he's not the only person to have ever said that about Hollywood. Even celebs with great careers have said the same.

[quote]For those of you who are new to Hollywood or any business …be careful who you work with,’ he warns."Watch out for liars, brainswashers and manipulators. Those who promise you the world then f*ck you over leaving you blindsided.’

The article from 2021 doesn't make it seem like he sees himself as a victim as much as he's just telling you how it is/was from his perspective. He's very careful to not do anything otherwise for most of the article. He leaves the reader to do that.

I just don't get why so many people spit venom when it comes to this kid.

[Quote] I just don't get why so many people spit venom when it comes to this kid.

He's beautiful. And gay. That's enough for gay men to go in... If he were beautiful and straight, gay men would be singing an entirely different tune.

Come on, Colto loved the attention of being the ‘it’ pass around party bottom.

He's a very sexual guy. Clearly adventurous and open-minded. He hustled his looks because he was not rolling in cash when arrived in NYC or LA. Many models will rely on the help of older men who just want to suck young dick. He played those old queens for everything they had. And the old queens don't care because being touched by a hot young thing like Colton is an award. It's a mutually beneficial thing and nobody got hurt. The pearl-clutching churchgoers on this thread don't seem to understand the gay male mentality much. Prostitution is linked to financial need. Colto needed money and those gigs and did what he had to do.

What was he addicted to?

Anyone know?

R328, except, if you actually read the article, he clearly doesn't see these things as positive.

Last time I checked. Sitcoms are not Hollywood. Plus, The Big Bang Theory is an even worse show than Friends.

So dramas are Hollywood but comedies are not? Okay

[quote]The pearl-clutching churchgoers on this thread don't seem to understand the gay male mentality much.

Fuck you for suggesting a middle aged man grooming a 14 year old is "gay male mentality"

EXCUZE ME SWEETIE! I'M AN EXPERT ON GAY MALE MENTALITY.

I was 14 and I knew enough to say no by that point. 14 is not a small child, it's an adolescent who is sexually matured and aware of their surroundings and they have autonomy. Colton was willingly going to bars to go-go dance and hooked up with older men. He probably lied about his age. Teenage boys are horndogs who will take opportunities like that, not innocent flowers. I was jacking off at age 10 and seeking out porn then. If a hot older man hit on me at 14, I would have said yes. Whether I regretted it or not would depend. Are the older men wrong for fucking around with teenage Colton? Absolutely, it's still exploitative because of the maturity gap. But you straight ladies need to remember being gay as a teen in rural area makes your options limited. It's not like Colton was living in a metropolitan area where many gays were open in high school. There was no Grindr in the mid-2000s nor really any gay safe spaces. Colton fucking older gay men was probably because it only options he had for sexual exploration. When you're young and horny, you take what you get. Straight people don't understand how privileged they are that they have boyfriend and girlfriends in elementary school. Gays don't get that option until much later and the sexual frustration and repression is difficult. Take in consideration the time period and blame his homophobic surroundings before you throw judgment around.

"14 is not a small child, it's an adolescent who is sexually matured and aware of their surroundings and they have autonomy."

Cool, should we let 14-year-olds drive, drink, vote, smoke cigarettes, run for office and have sex with 50-year-olds then?

He's lucky he weren't whoring around during the earlier AIDS decade.

Colton would have totally been a favorite of Luchino Visconti, Paul Morrissey, Andy Warhol and Franco Zefferelli in the 60s and 70s.

Visconti and Zeffirelli would have stretched that hole wider than the Grand Canyon

Andy Warhol wasn't a twink fucker. You just pull anything out of your ass.

His father was married 7 times!!!! People said nasty remarks to him that his dad killed himself because Colton came out (at 14). Colton has doubts about that.

You bitter cunts pull endless dumbasshattery out of your unfucked and dusty ancient assholes.

[quote]Take in consideration the time period and blame his homophobic surroundings before you throw judgment around.

Says the asshole trying to blame minors for their sexual immaturity. Your entire post reads like the deluded bullshit pedos used to excuse their fixation on children. Hardly a surprise to see your post history sees you suggest he was abused as a younger child - bet you couldn't wait to bring up that possibility. Again, fuck you, you don't speak for gay men.

R341 Paul Morrissey who Warhol funded and the true mastermind behind Warhol's films, loved to cast beautiful young men like Joe D'Alessandro, Richard Ulacia Justin Lazard and Sasha Mitchell in his films. Zefferelli and Visconti did the same. Also, what does twinks have to do with it? Beautiful young men, regardless of muscular physique or a skinny figure not are popular with gays. Chickenhawks they were not exclusively twink-fuckers.

R343

You're the ignoramus who dragged Warhol into this. Now you're doing a bait and switch.

[quote]Last time I checked.

Better check again 332, your post makes zero sense. I didn't even put the rest of it here, it's not worth it. I'll let you go live with that in mute land since you can't admit that you weren't right about something and I have zero energy for that.

[quote] The pearl-clutching churchgoers on this thread don't seem to understand the gay male mentality much.

Ma'am, the large majority of us weren't running around go-go dancing at 14 or working as phone sex operators at 18.

I had to be at home by the time the streetlights came on at that age and you bet your ass my parents had me in bed by 10. They wanted me to be safe and get enough sleep so I could be awake in class the next day. They did that because they cared.

He didn't have anyone to do that for him which is exactly why most of the stuff he posted happened, not because he was gay.

^ Frau triggered.

You have to have a very limited grasp of human nature to think a magic switch is turned on at 18 yo and only then do we become sexual.

No one said that. Of course people think about sex and have sex before turning 18. Doesn't mean they should be exploited by adults though

R347 I had to be at home by the time the streetlights came on at that age and you bet your ass my parents had me in bed by 10. None of these fancy latex battery operated dildos.I had to use a corn cobb. They wanted me to be safe and get enough sleep so when they locked me in the barn soes I could loose my virginity to a Shetland pony. They did that because they cared Ma'm not becasue my name is Honey Boo Boo

Many 14 year olds can start working jobs, have responsibilities, many begin learning to drive and they know the difference between right and wrong. The thing is they lack maturity and don't always think of consequences. They are not helpless and innocent but they just need guidance and discipline to prevent from making stupid choices. Stop infantilizing teenage boys, yes do they get manipulated by older people but they aren't completely stupid either and it's better to educate them than shelter and coddle them. Almost every teenage boy is sex-crazed. Teenage boy do not see sex the same way as girls do and the biological differences play a big role in that. Most teenage boys want to fuck and they see it as a conquest. If Colton was molested, he would have said it because he's open about everything else. He clearly states he was having sex with older men and it seems he was using sex to get what he wanted too. It is statutory rape but not molestation nor actual rape. The older men are clearly in the wrong but Colton was also old enough to know better. He clearly agreed to this and while illegal, he does paint that experience as abusive but rather a passage for himself. I don't know. It just feels disrespectful to Colton to say it was sexual abuse if himself does not see it that way. He played these older men and got what he wanted. I'm sick of this moralizing.

*does not paint

[quote}I began go-go dancing at a gay bar in Wichita that same year — fake ID in hand — after sneaking in one night with a few castmates from my community-theater program. I felt at home there. The thumping of the beat rattled the club, and from up on the box, all the men looked like wild animals. We danced in cowboy hats, low-rise boot-cut jeans, and no underwear, sweat trickling down our abdomens toward our shaved crotches.

He began go-go dancing at a gay bar in Wichita - using a fake ID. Previously, he had snuck in one night (before he was a go-go dancer). FROM UP ON THE BOX, "we" (he and the other go-go dancers) danced in cowboy hats, low-rise boot-cut jeans, and no underwear. This is pretty clear. He was a go-go dancer in a club, meaning he worked there. He used a fake ID to get the job. Go-go dancers are paid to entertain crowds in clubs, and they dance up above the crowd. He did NOT dance in his underwear. He wore no underwear. Any questions?

Colton today had he stayed in Wichita.

R354 Is the club still open? Web site please.

[quote]It is statutory rape but not molestation nor actual rape.

Ah look, the cousin to "Ackchyually it's hebephilia not paedophilia".

[quote]The older men are clearly in the wrong but Colton was also old enough to know better.

You dumb fuck. In your own post you say that teen boys are sex-crazed, lack maturity and don't think of the consequences. And then you still try to say he was old enough to know better. Which is it then?

[quote]I'm sick of this moralizing.

Imagine thinking that saying 40 year old men shouldn't take advantage of the sexual immaturity of minors is "moralizing".

If anyone in this thread is a homophobic frau, it's you for suggesting this shit is common amongst gay men.

[quote]Young adults today have younger looking faces but tall and developed bodies. It's a weird mix of staying indoors more, more sunscreen and less cigarettes which keeps the face looking more youthful but the hormones in all the foods are causing precocious puberty. When I look at teens from the 40s and 50s they look absolutely ancient.

That's interesting because many young adults today do a lot of drugs and pot, vs then, when almost no one did. But of course, some of them smoked cigarettes for a couple of years. And that aged all of them and made them all look ancient.

R318, that’s so incredibly sad . Gay men are awful to each other .

He was a hateful little bitch and a slutty mess during his myspace days. I am glad karma has gotten him good. He is getting the old bloated face that matches his insides.

[quote]2010 Winner Primetime Emmy, Outstanding LEAD ACTOR in a Comedy Series "The Big Bang Theory"(2007) For playing "Sheldon Cooper".

Lead actor =/= LEADING MAN

R361 thank you. A lead role and a leading man are not the same thing.

Kids and teens do make mistakes. In an ideal world, they learn from their mistakes and become better, wiser, and mature adults because of that.

R354, your quote makes it seem like it was just he and his friends dancing at a club as patrons, not paid go go dancers.

[quote] He was a hateful little bitch and a slutty mess during his myspace days. I am glad karma has gotten him good

MySpace?

Girl, he was 16? 17?

What were you even doing there???!? Why you still mad?

R360 You need to turn your projector off . Your meds are on the nite stand.

Jesus, this thread and the one called Joshua Bassett is a survivor took quite a dark turn.

The times, where people (including celebrities) could use social media to receive some support and validation, are definitely gone.

Why does a has been like Colto have pathetic white knights ready to come to his defense?

Because gay men don't like cunts especially rancid ones like you R368

"What was he addicted to? Anyone know?"

Attention...

At least the kid has kept his nudes off the internet which is saying something.

R14

SOMETHING WRONG WITH STRIPPIN?

R277 Nah. Just because he's handsome doesn't mean he could be a leading man. He lacks the gravitas to pull that off--which is fine. Some people have it but MOST people don't (see Zac Efron). He could be a good-looking character actor (see Zac Efron).

The only lead he could've pulled off are action B-movies, the Jean Claude Van Damme variety. But I doubt the audience would've accepted an openly gay actor for such roles. On the other hand, Hallmark is always hiring gay actors as male leads in their romantic movies.

Thought his article was outstanding. Well-written and it felt real and candid - enough. He doesn't seem to suffer from any delusions that he may not be anything other than a talentless but pretty (gay)face. Interesting that someone like him gets all the hate around here, whereas these sleazebag agents/managers/producers seem essentially like abusive and twisted sadists, all trying to exorcise their rage that they were not beautiful and desirable young men like their victims.

r289 Dan Levy is a huge whore. Probably making his way around.

He was addicted to Taco Bell.

R360 is a Nelly queen witch

His face isn't at all bloated.

R376 - you think Levy is a whore? I assumed he was a prude.

I don't mind Colto. Agreed it's well written and honest.

Reading the vicious self loathing attacks on this very innocuous actor on this thread, how can any wonder why more young gay actors don't come out? We eat our young.

It reeks of jealousy from bitter queens and the puritanical concerned fraus are also annoying. His life is the typical gay coming of age story with trials and tribulations. He lived a sexually adventurous life and hustled to get around. He made mistakes but owned up to them. In his 33 years, he accomplished a lot. He's in a much better state now. DL hates basically every openly gay celebrity while drooling over closet cases, homophobic straights or vapid divas.

R382, spot on

Agree R382. Very accurate.

More about Levy being a whore please.

He needs to work with Bruce LaBruce or Gregg Araki or John Waters ASAP.

No. I like the Broad City creators as collaborators. Colton does not need to go the way of the Gay Ghetto.

I am so tired of the same tired story that Haines brings to the table when he wants attention. He has a serious mental illness. He is a D-list actor at best and every time I hear about him it’s about him being gay and/or an addict. There was reason why he was a model at 15. This idea that Hollywood sexually abused him in various ways is an old story. He acts as though modeling at 15 didn’t use him too. There was a time when a celebrity of his low status wouldn’t even get media attention. And all you co-dependent gay people out there supporting him- get help.

And for all those people who think he could be actor given the chance- fools!

He’s only 33? I thought he’d been around longer than that.

Are you conflating him with someone else?

[quote] His life is the typical gay coming of age story with trials and tribulations. He lived a sexually adventurous life and hustled to get around.

Speak for yourself. I'm gay and all of my other gay friends and I had regular lives like any other boy. No one was stripping or selling themselves at 15. I'm not judging him because I empathize with his story, but claiming you have to be a frau or some sex negative puritan in order to find his story bizarre is just a lie.

Typical? A 14 year old sodomized by a 40-something?!

Oh please, who amongst us hasn’t stripped and hustled and prostatetuted in our youth?

It's funny how Jeff, Colton's husband, went from one sex worker to another. What's that all about?

Who is Jeff Leatham's new, sexworking, boyfriend?

R390 Nothing bizarre about having a troubled life and homophobic environment He's simply a product of a life that many in rural America live. It doesn't phase me or shock me because I've seen and heard everything. I'm happy he's speaking up because not every gay kid is fortunate to have a stable life. Some gay kids can see themselves in this story.

R364 No, it doesn't. He and his friends snuck in, the first time he went there. Then he became a go-go dancer there, later.

[quote] There was a time when a celebrity of his low status wouldn’t even get media attention. And all you co-dependent gay people out there supporting him- get help.

He starred on two successful TV shows and guested on others. He's wel- known enough, if you're not over 40.

*well-known

I'm so confused by this website. This is a gay and lesbian forum. Why should we not be interested in other gays and lesbians? Who cares if he's not A-List? Is that the only thing that matters? I'm grateful that we have more and more famous people coming out. That's what matters the most. Those Hollywood phonies who live a lie to the public to get to an A-List status are narcissistic sociopaths.

Gays should be supporting other gays imho. Not straight pop divas and hot straight guys that don't give a fucking shit about us.

You guys are sick fucks.

Colton’s had some tough breaks in life that are no laughing matters.

R382 This annoying troll (that w&ws his own posts) thinks that gays should be immune from any negativity if they are out and proud. Colton Haynes gets hate because he is a talentless annoying attention bottom whore that only became semi famous because he gave up his hole.

There are many gay and out celebs that don’t get hate because they aren’t annoying unlikeable twats. Ps. eat shit!

Beauty is a talent.

R402 That's funny because I see so many threads here celebrating hot straight guys, hot porn stars, straight female pop stars, old Hollywood female divas, etc who you could also make the case are marginally talented, all used sex to get ahead and are hot messes in their personal lives.

So how is Colton and the other openly gay celebs who get hate on here any different from the straights? Why are gays expected to be perfect and without flaws when all the other straight people in the entertainment are just as messed up, slutty and untalented? Double standard, no?

R404 we hate annoying straights here too dumbass.

Many posters are too low in reasoning to understand one can discuss the complexities of a public figure's biography and its not only HATE or LOVE. You are so fucking binary. STUPID SOCIAL MEDIA SLAVE MINDS.

I like Colton but its fun to discuss the messiness, too.

R405 Well it doesn't show. If they're goodlooking straight guy or a pop star like Gaga or Madonna you see millions of defenders on here. This site is undeniably filled with self-loathing gays who seem resentful and judgmental towards gay celebs. Maybe your experience is different from my mine. Btw take a chill pill. Way too worked up over Colton despite you claiming he's a nobody. Clearly he's somebody to you that you get a strong reaction.

Well is Colton is a bottom whore there was no hookup with Dan Levy.

he sold his hole at 14! B was conniving back then!

R402 Colton blocked you on Grindr and you never got over it. We get it .Move on sweetie.

It won’t be hard for fans, journos and industry insiders to decrypt whom Colton is talking about, r72.

[quote] He starred on two successful TV shows and guested on others. He's wel- known enough, if you're not over 40.

I asked my class if they knew who this guy was and no one did.

Hon, you have no class if you are asking your class about this person.

So what community theater productions did he star in? Are there programs we can see?

Oklahoma where the homo twinks sell their ass!

So many gay porn stars are from Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Nebraska, Kentucky, etc. The Midwest produces the most whores it seems.

R114 = true believer in everything he typed, pretending to mock it.

R188 = Rick, a.k.a. The Gap Playlist Guy, the Aspie freak who thinks everyone gives a fuck about his endless pop cataloguing and also catalogued talking points about Colton and Hollywood that have been recycled ad nauseam on this website.

You’re really annoying, Rick!

M'kay. That blog seems only a fraction as crazy as the Gap Playlist's creepy/quixotic OCD doom quest.

Colton is a good actor, I don't know what you all are on about.

R402- R418 Better a has been then a never was . Blocked you psycho cunt.

Agree he’s a good actor. Too bad his being gay sabotaged him from a career. He’s a good singer too. He would have EPCOTed if he was straight.

Haters gonna hate.

A lot of gay people, even when they are out, (still) struggle with self-esteem issues. Some express that by being overly critical towards other gay men and how these "bad" gays reflect badly on the Gay Community and those struggling with self-esteem issues (because my precious peers see those bad Gays, they think I'm bad, too! Bad Gays, bad Gays!).

That and bigot trolls pretending to be gay. You know, the "I'm a lifelong Democrat, but what Hillary did with her emails ...!" variety.

[quote]Colton Haynes gets hate because he is a talentless annoying attention bottom whore that only became semi famous because he gave up his hole.

And yet I know who he is. You? Not so much.

See Marc Jacobs.

End up?

R422,

[quote] EPCOTed

At DisneyWorld? Or is it something else?

No one has mentioned Colton's new book?

"Miss Memory Lane"

He says this is what his friends call him because he remembers things from his past.

It's supposed to be released next year.

VALLEY OF THE COLTOS Soon to be a major motion picture!

We had faces then.

R428 Is Colto the NEW Marilu Henner?

I was a pretty boy like Colton and also a sleazy and adventurous kid, and now compared to my contemporaries, I am the one who remembers the most, and clearly. Who would have guessed? If it doesn't kill you, being a lolita tramp makes you stronger, I guess, as long as you stop fucking the hot carnies and achieve success in another domain.

[quote] If it doesn't kill you, being a lolita tramp makes you stronger

Inside sources say Muriel is considering this as the new DL tagline.

Most DLers are more a Shelley Winters than a Lolita.

Unfortunately Colton’s not bright enough to make it without relying on his looks. Now that his looks are gone, he’s unnecessary. Other men, like Ben Affleck, may have gotten entry because of his looks, but now stays because of his brains. This is not the case for poor Colton. I imagine he’ll go the Lindsay Lohan route, and get married to a brown billionaire in some nowhere country.

Pits.

His looks aren't gone. You can tapa-tapa-type that all you want, it won't make it true.

Colton may have chosen the wrong career path. The writing doesn't read idiot savant. Unless he has a ghost-writer. He can still make something of his life.

Nice pits

He'll always make convention money thanks to Teen Wolf and Arrow.

Remember when Colton's tits had DL all aflutter?

r441 I would tittyfuck that.

I like having nice tits - Colton

Healthy milkers.

Why did he use a decades old photo for his book cover? Why do gays always do that for their profile pictures?

Why does a memoir of youth use a photo from one's youth?

Ben Affleck has no brains. He is just friends with the Weinstein's and piggybacked off of his friend Matt Damon plus exploited Jen Garner and Jennifer Lopez to maintain relevance. Affleck just used people to stay famous and he did find a niche in directing.

R445, Perhaps, since the book is called "Miss Memory Lane" it's about the past so he used a photo from his ... past taken when the book primarily takes place?

Colton knew how to work his tits.

What does Colton do? Many actors branch out and invest their money in some business ventures (like producing their own liquor brand, fashion or shoe line, etc.). Is the book the only thing he's working on right now?

He has really big erect nubs. Most twinks have tiny nubs that you can’t even tell the difference if they’re erect or not erect.

[quote]Colton knew how to work his tits.

I'm sure Colton was not the only one who knew how to work those tits.

[quote] What does Colton do?

He’s an actor, Rose.

He is STILL fucking hot. His looks haven't "gone", please.

A 14-year old stripping in a gay bar and then sleeping his way into Hollywood is more ambitious than anything else. I'm sure there were times when it wasn't a party, BUT let's not pretend like he was kidnapped and held captive by an old couple for nine months. He was probably getting some prime BEEF on his adventures. Dick and steak, amirite?

People here seem unaware as a gay teen in a conservative area before social media apps and better acceptance. Colton was a teen in the early 2000s. That his options were limited. He had flings with older men because it was harder for him to find boys his own age who were out. He wasn't living in LA or NYC. He was in Kansas. Gays generally do not have the same freedoms as straight people do to start dating in elementary or middle school. The pool of options is tinier.

[quote]People here seem unaware as a gay teen in a conservative area before social media apps and better acceptance. Colton was a teen in the early 2000s.

You're right, no one here has ever been a gay teen in a conservative area in the early 2000s. No one could possibly fathom Colton's struggle or argue that they wouldn't make the same decisions he did. 🙄

[quote]He had flings with older men because it was harder for him to find boys his own age who were out. He wasn't living in LA or NYC. He was in Kansas. Gays generally do not have the same freedoms as straight people do to start dating in elementary or middle school. The pool of options is tinier.

You mean straight people have flings in elementary school, like Colton had with 40 year old men?

Straight teens mostly have relationships with their peers.

R458 I guess my meaning wasn't clear, I meant the poster seemed to be saying elementary school kids have sex.

Y’all are over analyzing this simpleton.

Colton is a DL Legend.

r449 I wonder if he likes to have his nipples bit.

He had them pierced, so probably not.

I'm sure a lot of people on here aren't actual gay men. This site isn't really as gay as it used to be.

R457 I meant to say straight people are privileged to explore themselves at a younger age with their peers. Kissing, holding hands and innocent stuff with each other. Once they reach adolescence, they start becoming sexually active. Yes kids have sex despite the puritans here thinking they do not. Parents who keep them ignorant is why teen pregnancy is high. Gay kids are more repressed and aren't allowed to express themselves until much older. The dating pool is tiny and there's an intense fear of being outed. It's easier for older men to exploit young gay boys because of the homophobic and repressed environment. And a lot of gay teens in that environment will seek out any attention. It's fucked up dynamic that can only change once more and more kids feel safe to be openly gay.

R457 You were still in elementary school at 14 yo? Explains a lot.

I wish I had seen this thread earlier so I could check you disrespectful ass BITCHES. Put some respect on Colton's name. He was a trailblazer for these young hoes out here today that you obsess over, like Froy and now Joshua Bassett. Colton was out there before it was cool to declare yourself LGBTQ. He put in work for these twinks.

You old cunts who have been here for long time know you were drooling over Colton back in the day when he hit the scene as a muscly slut twink partying in Miami with Chace Crawford. Don't even sit up here and act like you didnt! These photos put him on everyone's radar.

It's funny how Colton and Chace never posed together for the cameras at an event. Was Podwall paranoid that they'd be linked in the press like Chace and Chasez were?

Did Chase & Colty fuck?

Well, if Colton was trying to get random photographers to bone him out, it wouldn't surprise me if he made a play for Chace. Though Chace, like Colton, seems to favor older men.

R467 - omygod Colton was so hot back then. You’re right, I had forgotten. However, he hit the wall hard. He’s lost everything he once had .

You wish you "lost it" like this...

R472 - What point are you trying to prove? He’s nothing special in those pics in your post. His appeal was his youth. Some men mature and get even better. Now, he’s just a little insecure boy in a man’s body.

He should give up “Hollywood” and get a real job.

Colton's appeal was not that he was simply young. No one was losing it over Joseph Mazello, FFS.

Colton has probably made more money that you ever will, so it seems odd that you're trying to count his pennies...

Who is Joseph Mozello?

What's Trey up to these days?

R476 - Colton had probably made more money than you ever will.”

It’s been reported he lost it all. His net worth is now approximately $200,000. I can assure you my net worth is many times that amount.

"Nothing special." Sure, Jan.

It looks like Colton’s PR person is posting here. Or Colton himself. (I doubt he has a PR person any longer)

You can't "assure" us of anything, r479.

You're an anonymous nobody and a nothing. A basic hater fabricating everything you type like most DLers. Of course you would fabricate yourself a multi-millionaire even though most of them don't need to brag or "assure."

Now why don't you "assure" us again how much of a loser Tommy DiDario is for "only" making $80,000 per year, Mr. Class Act?

Colton Haynes is still gorgeous and has always been an adequte actor.

He's been through some unusually difficult circumstances and it's a shame posters on Haterlounge can't be happy for an out gay man who achieves some success despite adversity.

I guess Haterloungers are just too fat, ugly, old, decrepit, sexless, loveless and soulless to do that.

I'm definitely buying the book and taking joy in knowing how envious and crazy it drives the DL.

DL would like Colton if he dates someone they hate more.

R483 - “……has always been an adequte actor.”

465 What you said originally was that straight kids start dating in elementary school.

[quote]Yes kids have sex despite the puritans here thinking they do not.

Quote the post where anyone in this thread said anything like that.

Still no details on Dan Levy the whore.

Well, you'd keep it to yourself if you fucked Dan Levy, wouldn't you?

he tried to be a whore but he was too hairy and you couldn't find his hole.

R490 I thought you were rude but then I looked him up and you're right!

I really hope they make a TV movie of this.

R493 Gays would need their own "Lifetime" network first.

R494 Even gay lifetime would be like who??

R479

Remember Dan Levy had the thread taken down about him dating Chris Appleton? So good luck coming forward to report his whoring around town… his PR people are onto us apparently.

I wondered where that thread went. Are we sure it was Dan and not Chris?

It was largely talking about how hot Chris is and how hairy DL’s hole must be - so I doubt it was Chris? A Reddit thread once talked about how DL’s publicist aggressively has anything negative/controversial scrubbed off the internet - which is why there are hardly any old clips to be found of him being a snide little bitch on MTV Canada.

But Chris might not think Dan Levy is good for business. It's a little like Rob Lowe dating Melissa Gilbert.

R500, just stop.

Dan has the power to have the thread pulled quickly.

Chris was probably just happy people were googling his name.

^ DAN THE GREAT & POWERFUL!

Gurl you know petty ass Dan Levy frequents this site to stay up on the old gay culture, which is why he spotted that thread spilling his own teas 🧐☕

DL is a bit ungrateful to shut down a thread talking about how he’s being fucked by someone as hot as Appleton. The nerve on her.

R502 The only thing that is powerful about him are his farts, they clear buildings.

[Quote] DL is a bit ungrateful

The is only one DL here, and it did not start out in Eugene Levy's ball sac.

I just googled Levy and datalounge to see if there were other scandalous threads he had left up and there is a 2017 thread called “anyone made out with minor celebs?” (Fun read btw). One of the responses was that a drunk Dan Levy once asked a poster and his boyfriend to “spit roast” him.

Mon dieu.

See, Chris Appleton was the one who nuked it. Someone here said that they asked him about Dan on his Insta and that Chris deleted the comment...

Oooooof Chris is embarrassing. Still think Dan had the thread deleted though.

God Chris Appleton is embarrassing. A grown man acting like a stupid little girl in that video at R509.

What does he do in the video?

It's him posing looking sad (seemingly in public) while some teen girl sings about a breakup.

Oh, that's harmless.

This trashy slut should change his name to Nomie Malone. Who gives a fuck about him? I like good actors not whores.

Well, you're commenting, so...

I can’t believe we’re discussing Colton Haynes; he’s nothing but a used up old whore.

to be fair R516 we've moved on to discussing fascist queen Dan Levy who is viciously attempting to censor us by deleting threads about his hairy hole.

Better to have whored and lost...

Why isn’t Colton in this weird Gay Netflix Christmas movie Jingle All the Way that I’m trying to watch, it’s unbearably bad, it seems right up his alley. He could have been any of the three gay characters easily. Does he have a bad rep that he’s not being cast?

Maybe he didn't want to be in a shitty movie.

Why don't you rent TRIUMPH and learn something edifying. Then you can quit lying about his "inability" to get cast in the sub-basic horse shit you watch.

r520 had time today.

Colton was also cast in the video for one of the biggeest hit singles on the pop charts this year.

I wouldn't expect the ancient fossils on Haterlounge to know that -- they'll just make up shit because they haven't seen a show since the 1990s.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES or STEEL MAGNOLIAS was the last movie seen by most of the cunts on this website.

R523 - I went to a matinee of West Side Story last week.

Could Colton sing Maria?

R467–we were on to Colton long before those pictures appeared.

Well, duh. Colton was out in the XY pics when he was 17. He and Jerreth were public as fiances on MySpace too.

"Could Colton sing Maria?"

No, but he could PLAY Maria...

Well, he's a better actor than Wood...

He could probably do her hair.

Maria could be his fag hag who holds the camera phone while Colton films adorable TikTok videos.

Wow girls we are almost at 600.

This wasn't unusual in the days of "The Touch, The Feel... of Colton!"

I love openly slutty trashy faggy gay used-up hustler whores like Colton who went Hollywood. I'd rather discuss them than the millions of threads on annoying pop stars (Vadge, Janet, Britney, Gaga), boring straight women (J Ho, Aniston, Tiegen, Kum K) and straight TikTok grifters from flyover country.

Colton is from flyover country.

R535 Yep and he whored his way to Hollywood. Just like Brad Pitt or James Dean but without the charisma. It's the American Dream.

Colton has charisma.

Well there are a lot of actors who aren't superstars like Brad Pitt. Is your point that everyone like Colton Haynes should have the charisma of Brad Pitt?

Brad Pitt has been a snooze in plenty movies.

But, is he happy?

R538 If they want to be a superstar then yes, charisma and marketability is important. But on the other hand, 95% actors are not famous and just do character work or minor roles in hundreds of movies, TV shows and plays. The journeyman actor who gets his or her big break at age 40 is always inspirational. Colton isn't talented but he's the type that gay directors would use as a muse in art films. Paul Morrissey, Gus Van Sant and Franco Zefferelli had a lot of hot young guys with no talent starring in their movies.

[quote] Colton isn't talented

This is so stupid. There are a lot of guys (better looking than Colton) who can't get cast because they're completely untalented. They have no acting talent, can't relate to other actors, can't read lines naturally. I don't get what you think acting talent is. It's being able to play a part and be accepted by the audience, natural, and believable. I don't claim he's a genius, based on what I've seen him in, but he can act, so let's stop the bullshit.

Has he ever sung I’ve Never Been to Me?

R542- there are a great many bad actors. Colton isn’t an actor- he is a model without any charm or uniqueness. Being gay, addicted, and molested isn’t a vista to talent. My God people- semi-good looking trailer trash looking for fame and attention isn’t some one to defend. Unless you too know the smell of Pall Mall, damp living rooms/kitchen, and Walmart shoes.

Colton has been a lead in three network TV series and in one cable TV show. His acting is not bad.

I doubt anyone saying he can't act has watched him in anything for more than a few minutes, if that.

Lol @ those saying he can act. He was a teen drama actor on a cut rate network at best. A glorified soap actor. He’s not doing fucking Hamlet. He’s a whore darlin’.

I guess the only actors who are considered good by some of you morons are the 10 or 15 who are major stars or Shakespearean greats.

No one said he was Hamlet. He's a supporting actor.

He’s a piece of shit, who got lucky because of his look.

Good looking actors getting noticed because of their looks, is that supposed to be something unusual? To stick around, they have to be able to satisfy their audience, though. Grow up.

I am sure Colto has satisfied many an audience.

It’s been rumored that Colton has “satisfied” Tyler Perry, Andy Cohen, John Travolta, and Tom Ford. I believe it’s true.

What about Dan Levy? Did he SATISFY him too?

No one can satisfy Dan Levy

Insatiable hairy hole?
