Did Robert Downey Jr ever hook up with his Weird Science co-star Robert Rusler?

So, I recently discovered that Robert Rusler, who co-starred with Mark Patton in A Nightmare On Elm Street 2, is apparently bisexual. If you look at his Facebook profile, he says he’s interested in men and women. To be honest, I was surprised, as I did not get any gay vibe from him. Plus, he is married with four children.

But it’s interesting to learn that Mark Patton wasn’t the only queer actor in NOES 2.

And seeing how Robert Downey Jr used to be openly bi, is it too much of a stretch to think he and Robert Rusler hooked up while filming Weird Science together?

Weird. His Facebook page does say he likes men and women and he’s married to a wife and has kids. I’m not proposing bi-erasure, but that seems like an overshare.

Maybe it was an error when he selected it? I don't know. But I think he was one of the hottest men of the '80s. He still looks good. He was so sexy in Shag.

R22 Drew Barrymore once said*most actors in Hollywood are bisexual "

She would know, having grown up there

I said it before and I'll say it again, there are more bisexual men than gay men, it's just that almost ALL bisexual men are likely to not be open about it so it goes undetected

Straight people think every man who likes men is a flaming queen and is obvious and they're all 100% gay (no male bisexuality!) , it makes them feel more comfortable that way, when it's not true at all

Fraus definitely think this

Could it be some woke liberal men just say they are bi just to be inclusive?

I always felt there are just as many truly str8 men as gay men in the world. The rest are bi-sexual.

He does not give off any gay vibes because he's a top who like only to get sucked off and fuck fem bottoms.

OP, not everyone uses Facebook as a hook-up site. Plenty of people set it to "men and women" they're interested in because they want to make friends. I have family members who do the same and they're definitely not gay or even bi.

Not everything in the world is about fucking.

I kissed someone in R10’s photo!

R10, is that a young Johnny Rapid on the far left? I believe he’s bisexual, too.

R12, at the far left is Jay R. Ferguson, whom I remember as Stan Rizzo in "Mad Men." I don't know what else he's done.

I must say looking at R10s photo, David Arquette is an example of someone who got more attractive as they got older.

And what the fuck was going on on the set of My Own Private Idaho? Rodney Harvey, the hot guy in the center, died of a heroine and cocaine overdose just like River Phoenix, in 1998. His wiki says he started using on the set of My Own Private Idaho. Who introduced it to whom? How did Keanu escape all of that?

The old geocities gossip site listed Robert Rusler as gay actually. I was kind of surprised he was on there since he wasn't a major star. I wonder if he shagged his openly gay co-star from Shag, Scott Coffey.

R12 Was Johnny Rapid even born yet when that show came out?

by Anonymousreply 17May 19, 2022 2:54 PM

He was hot. I'm glad he's openly bisexual

R13 he’s on The Conners now. His character just got married to lesbian Darlene.

R15 Rodney Harvey definitely messes around with dudes

I know his family from South Philly, his Mom Lois passed last year

His manager was gay and they lived together and poses for Christmas cards together with their dog...

There are lots more bisexuals than we think, they congregate in the unlikeliest of places like straight clubs,gyms and bars, and walk carefully among extremely femme or activist gay- that might target or expose them. There are “tells” like an over starched shirt, a barely there bright pop of color on the underside of clothing, or an impeccable manicure.

They cruise in stealth mode and you’d never realize if you were straight it was a pass.

Here’s a test- visit any very high end hotel lobby or bar and check out those out of the way bathrooms tucked by the auditorium or meeting halls. It’s a fuckfest in there! You can see the cum all over the walls of the stalls and I’ve been in some of the finest hotels all over the nation.

[quote]I must say looking at R10s photo, David Arquette is an example of someone who got more attractive as they got older

I’ve been mistaken for David Arquette more times in my life than I can count. When Scream first came out, it got out of control. People stopping me in the streets and following me. I was in a bar and this totally drunk guy was slurring something I couldn’t understand and after saying about five “I’m sorry, I couldn’t quite make that out” his head snapped up and he shouted “Don’t lie to me you Dewey motherfucker!” and a friend burst into laughter and said “he thinks you’re from Scream”.

My own mom called to tell me she saw a guy on tv who looked *exactly* like me and I said “are you watching Scream?” Yup.

But I have totally silver hair now and he, magically, doesn’t, so people don’t do It anymore.

Bisexuals are like masc or non scene gays. They don't associate with modern gay culture and thus blend into the straight population. You see so many on Grindr.

Rusler was in "Thrashin'" in 1986 with 18 year old Josh Brolin. I had to get a new VCR after renting the video because the character 'Radley' was so flaming it caught my VCR on fire.

by Anonymousreply 29May 19, 2022 4:24 PM

Matt Dillon is at least bisexual.

by Anonymousreply 30May 19, 2022 4:24 PM

Harold Pruett, the guy behind the girl in the photo at R10, also died of a heroin overdose, in 2002, four years after Rodney Harvey.

The Outsiders TV show was pretty good. Kept the homoeroticism and male objectification of the original movie. Too bad it didn't last.
