Why has Keanu Reeves never had any real gay rumors/gossip?

There’s been rumors about Keanu Reeves for years. I first heard about him in the nineties when I was stationed in San Diego…and there were threads about his sexuality here on Datalounge! Probably deleted now. There were a few blinds about it on AGC.

During the late 90's there were rumors about him and David Geffen.

Maybe because he is not gay. And I don’t count ‘runouts’ on DL because DL is nuts on the topic of who is and is not gay.

He’s had a girlfriend for years now. They are just low key and she’s about the same age as him, in her 50s, so the media doesn’t give her much attention.

That having been said there have always been rumors about his sexuality; I’m not sure I believe them. The Geffen thing doesn’t seem that plausible.

OP,

Keanu Reeves has Aspergers Syndrome.

This is confirmed by almost everything he says or does.

[quote] While on the set of "Speed," Bullock said she told Reeves that she had never tried Champagne or truffles. Not long after, Reeves arrived at her place with flowers, Champagne, and truffles, the actor told Esquire in 2021. She told Esquire he said, "I just thought you might want to try Champagne and truffles, to see what it's like." She said this type of listening was common for Reeves. "When I first met him, I would spend as much time as I could filling a silence, just to feel comfortable. And the more I jibber-jabbered on, the quieter he would get. "And I thought, I don't understand what's happening!" she continued. "He's looking at me with eyes of confusion. He's quiet. Did I say something to offend him? And then a day or two later, he would arrive with a note or a little package, saying, 'I thought about what you said.' And he would have his response."

Doesn't he have a long term GF who everyone was lauding for actually being his age?

Or this.

Or this.

He seems like an asexual.

Or maybe he's a raging gay boy who kept it quiet for years!

Or this.

R8 Keanu is so Canadian nice

There were not only rumors, there were detailed “allegations”. Not of anything bad, just somewhat salacious details. Like he enjoyed being dirty “down there” while having sex and referred to that as “just guys being guys”.

Or this.

Or this.

Indeed he’s on the spectrum.

Kind eyes. Love him.

Or this.

He was kept by David Geffen

R11 that has absolutely nothing to do with Canadian nice.

It’s Aspergers: a mixture of rigid routine and an odd formality.

Keanu is not "asexual" He sleeps with whomever he wants!!

Nicest Major male celebrity I ever met, female celebrity was Vanessa Williams

Keanu taught& helped my children learn how to surf at the beach in La Jolla. My daughter Willamina(I called her Billy, her friends Willie and College buddies Mina) named her daughter Keana after her Uncle K, my son Richard Lucca named one of his twins Reeves and the other Lucca.

Or this.

Or this:

[quote] I have two Keanu Stories of my own, both brief but sweet. In 2006, at a performance by the dancer Pina Bausch, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, I saw Reeves seated a couple of rows away from me—in the cheap seats—his gangly legs crammed into the small space in front of him. Three years later, at Film Forum, I spotted him emerging alone from a Kurosawa movie, carrying a large tub of popcorn. These moments aren’t much, but I keep them close, picking them up every once in a while, the way you would a crystal or an amulet.

R19 yo wtf?

R19:= dV1Da r0ch3ll3

R22 if you don’t know, it’s better you don’t ask

It is impressive that he's navigated decades of A-list fame without all the angst and drama of his contemporaries. He could be a wastrel like Johnny Depp or an alcoholic like Affleck or a narcissistic cokehead like Brad Pitt or a...Charlie Sheen. Whatever his peccadilloes, at least he is discreet.

And finally there is there is his girlfriend.

An autistic spectrum man can only have a successful relationship with an empathic woman.

[quote] Alexandra is an accomplished artist with a background in painting, drawing, sculpture, and video. She has exhibited her work in prestigious galleries and museums, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Galerie Gradiva in Paris, and the Harris Lieberman Gallery in New York. Her art often explores the connections between language, communication, and human relationships.

Wow I didn’t know there had been wider talk about his sexuality. It seems when he became this cult figure of sorts for the newer generations they haven’t spoke of his sexuality much or questioned that he wasn’t straight.

People have noted, on here and elsewhere, that he and his latest girlfriend don’t have much of any sexual chemistry it seems (beyond the jokes that she looks really old), and I wonder if it’s because she is more of a companion type rather than caring about whether he’s physically attracted to her.

R26 younger generations have grown up with the concept of neurodiversity.

Older generations tend to be intolerant of it.

[R28] That’s true. His particular expression of love, sex and relationships seems to have always been ahead of it’s time, with millennials and gen z having an intuitive thing with how he lives his life.

It’s just so interesting because he goes/went years between openly being in a relationship with a woman and there weren’t any jokes/rumors beyond the 90s David Geffen stories. I think it was like 2006 that he was last publicly in a relationship before Alexandra and yet I never read any gossip about him being closeted or whatever. Even if he doesn’t seem or ping for anyone you would think people would be wondering about it.

[quote]I never read any gossip about him being closeted or whatever.

Because he does not seem gay.

R30 - but I’ve noticed other celebs who don’t seem gay at all (and they were) and didn’t date women for the public. Again, I genuinely don’t think Keanu is gay but when you’re a huge star and have great looks and you don’t publicly have a girlfriend for years I would think many people would wonder why. I think in his case asexuality could be one possibility or some other emotional reason.

I've known Keanu since right before Point Break, my company helped re-negotiate his contract(points Gross, not net)

When The Matrix came along(well Mega Monster hits-all of them) get forensic accountants to check the math of the studios!!

He taught my young children how to surf in La Jolla. I have mentioned this b4 in DL.

Keaunu isn't Miss Bradley Cooper, no one likes Miss Cooper!!

R32 Seek help immediately, sis.

[quote] Again, I genuinely don’t think Keanu is gay but when you’re a huge star and have great looks and you don’t publicly have a girlfriend for years I would think many people would wonder why.

Because people intuitively understand that Keanu is DIFFERENT. They cannot articulate it but they know he is. The New Yorker wrote about him:

[quote] Though he possesses a classic leading-man beauty, he is no run-of-the-mill Hollywood stud; he is too aloof, too cipher-like, too mysterious. There is something a bit “Man Who Fell to Earth” about him, an otherworldliness that comes across in all of his performances… Reeves has somehow managed to “pull off the nearly impossible feat of remaining an enigmatic cult figure despite having been an A-list actor for decades.”

They are saying the A word without saying the A word.

[quote] Wow I didn’t know there had been wider talk about his sexuality. It seems when he became this cult figure of sorts for the newer generations they haven’t spoke of his sexuality much or questioned that he wasn’t straight.

There was lots of "gay" talk in the 90s when he did "My Own Private Idaho" but it was never substantiated so it didn't stick.

R35 Thanks for posting that quote, I think it’s explains a lot of his appeal and that autism/Asperger's was something that could’ve been looked at as a thing that people looked down upon back then, for not understanding it.

I guess I would think that people, even before the last ten years when awareness became so mainstream, wouldn’t think of him as being on the spectrum as an explanation for his very private/non existent love or sex life. And I mean more so the people who weren’t different like he was, who would be suspicious, however unwarranted.

To R34 High again ?????????????????? Okay now, just take deep breaths, let the drugs flow through u!!

I know he and his girlfriend have been friends for years and the internet exploded when they were first confirmed as a couple in 2019, but there’s pics of them in 2016 standing close together at events and such and there was no fuss like there was a few years later. Weird.

Here’s another article about a different actor who is 42, unmarried and without children, but does not seem gay,

The writer calls him “a mystical creature, an anomaly in the bro/nerd dichotomy” and her “favorite little weirdo.”

The public senses something, but they can’t put it into words. The writer literally says “It broke my brain.”

Because he never cruised dudes.

Wasn't there a rumor that he got married to a man in Hawaii?

R40 The only gay whispers I’ve heard about Evans have been on here, which isn’t saying much of course (but could he be one of the actors Kate Winslet spoke of?! I’m sure there’s so many closeted a-list stars who have wisely not come out, sadly.)

The difference with Chris though is that he’s usually seen dating women for significant periods of time and without too much rime between them. With Keanu he’s rarely confirmed he’s dating the women that he’s been rumored to have been with, and if they did date it lasted a very brief time.

R3 honestly, I think we are pretty accurate about who is gay or not… I must admit, we have been inaccurate a few times but a lot of time we are spot on.

Keanu was talked about in many a thread on here, especially during the Matrix era. Some say Alexandra is a tranny.

It seems like if an actor doesn’t ping/isn’t clearly gay and isn’t caught in a romantic/sexual story (Travolta and Spacey’s noted sexcapades) or picture with a man (Richard Madden wants us to know without confirming it yet because he wants certain roles) then most people usually won’t suspect. This basically is the case with Keanu, but I don’t think he is gay and people attribute this to his distant/enigmatic nature and lack of a sexual aura (possibly because he doesn’t have much sexual desire). Fascinating stuff.

Lived and worked in Phoneywood for 35 years. Heard the usual BS that K slept around to get gigs with Van Sant and others but in his off camera life he was rather "chaste" spent most of his free time with his band Dogstar and was not into groupies. Professionally His rep was he was a "mega sweetheart". Nothing new.

So you think he used sex to get ahead but didn’t care much for it personally?

He's had loads of gay rumors over the years! LOADS!

We care, the mainstream doesn't care. They like him enough to either accept him as he is, or they like him enough to dismiss the rumors because they refuse to believe someone they like is gay.

Who’s the actor who was really into building models during the pandemic?

Asperger’s makes sense but it doesn’t mean he’s asexual.

Actually Evans’s dating history is not significant and much of it is based off speculation of him just being photographed with someone at a party.

[quote]He's had loads of gay rumors over the years! LOADS! We care, the mainstream doesn't care. They like him enough to either accept him as he is, or they like him enough to dismiss the rumors because they refuse to believe someone they like is gay.

I know this is a bit of self-back-patting you’ve done for yourself, but gay neurotypicism is actually just as strident and intolerant as straight neurotypicism. Gay people will pick up that someone is “different”, they will rationalize that difference as being gay, and they will not accept any other explanation. If you suggest that the individual is neurodivergent, they will express anger and disgust at you for even suggesting that.

R50 Or he’s asexual (attracted to women but not sex) and doesn’t have Asperger’s, or he’s both. I think there’s strong clues that he genuinely could be both of those things. I think a reason why he didn’t date seriously or even likely hook up casually (the paps likely would’ve caught him more times) for a long time is because he’s completely fine with friendship and companionship that doesn’t involve any sex. Possibly.

R51 interesting, I have to look more into that. From what I heard he was dating some women for a few years or so (of course they could be seen together for that time in public and not actually date or be fucking), but maybe that’s not true and where the whispers about him started.

Wasn't Keanu lovers with one of his Dogshart band members?

[quote] he’s completely fine with friendship and companionship that doesn’t involve any sex.

While this is possible I have the idea that you perhaps understand the Syndrome backwards? Aspergers is not “he wants friendship and companionship just no sex.” The friendship and the companionship IS the problem.

From Johns Hopkins Kennedy Krieger:

“ [Aspergians] may be able to describe correctly, in a cognitive and often formalistic fashion, other people’s emotions, expected intentions, and social conventions; yet, they are unable to act on this knowledge in an intuitive and spontaneous fashion, thus losing the tempo of the interaction. Their poor intuition and lack of spontaneous adaptation are accompanied by a marked reliance on formalistic rules of behavior and rigid social conventions. This presentation is largely responsible for the impression of social naiveté and behavioral rigidity that is so forcefully conveyed by these individuals.”

The Reeves married Geffen rumor was started when Geffen took his then boy toy Jimmy Duval into Gorgio's on Rodeo. They were both queening it up and high as a kites all over each other. If you remember Jimmy at that time you can understand the mistaken identity.

When I think of Reeves sexuality reminded of quote about Marilyn Monroe:

"Sex is something that happens to her when she's thinking of something else."

"Who’s the actor who was really into building models during the pandemic?"

Henry Cavill admitted to making nerdy models during the pandemic.

R52, you're doing what everyone does with Reeves. Look at a guy who's "different" but who never tells the public anything significant about themselves, and assuming "He's just like me!". Yes, the gays do it (which may or may not be the source of the gay rumors over the years), the hets do it, and you're doing it.

The only thing we know for certain about him is that... he doesn't tell the public about his private life. Well, more power to him for doing that, more actors should do the same.

R39 yeah she is lucky.

R56 Thanks for quoting that. I think what I was trying to say is that he could have Asperger’s, in that it’s hard for him to have or sustain that kind of (platonic) bond naturally, or rather he could be asexual in that he *can* have deep connections and such but he doesn’t actively date women because having sex isn’t on his mind. I hope that makes sense. And it could be that he’s both, possibly, which makes him even more singular and elusive in ways because in a sense he owns both aspects of himself that many might not, especially as a major public figure.

R57 wow this makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks for the explanation. I always wondered where those rumors came from because Geffen and Keanu simply did not seem like each other’s type.

I had a brief conversation with him once, in a Jamba Juice lol, and he was polite, witty and with it. He made spontaneous charming and friendly comments.

And he was beautiful. The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. This was 2009.

I was cute then myself, it was before my fat whore life. But he was not flirty. Just kind and funny.

Just like other other celebs, Aspergers and an older, ugly girlfriend = closeted.

He has a reputation for being, publically and privately, a decent man of quiet integrity.

He doesn't make headlines, so the paps aren't interested.

He has never fucked up a relationship where someone wanted to do him public harm.

The only stories I read are about how he treats people respectfully, with dignity, and is quietly philanthropic to those he works with and respects.

Lord, how I wish he were gay. He would make a great role model.

R66 why do they like them older and not as attractive?

Because those are the women that look to gay men for affection because straight men aren’t attracted to them either.

I don't think he's gay, or we would have heard more by now.

I don’t think he is either, but I would’ve thought his behavior of either hidden relationships or a lack of many of them at all wouldn’t be seen as being closeted by many.

Keanu has had rumors circulating about everything from being a young hustler, addict, idiot, to genius. He doesn't give anything any air, which makes him not that fun to gossip about bc he couldn't have less fucks to give.

His actions and accounts of his interactions with everyday people outside of Hollywood has also helped him earn immeasurable goodwill. Managing to stay a humble, and kind human being after so many years in the industry he is in, is quite a hat trick.

While he wasn't ALWAYS on the money with the way he played some parts, he was great in enough performances, to now be considered a thorough professional and a bankable lead.

Who is the person in this picture?

It literally identifies him as Geffen “boytoy Jimmy Duval” in the post you pulled it from

Was it too much to move your eyes up one centimeter to look for a name?

A lotta people think his behavior of hiding or not being in relationships at all happened solely because of Jennifer Syme’s tragic death, but if you look back to the years and women he was linked with before they were either not confirmed, very brief, or spaced apart.

Whatever’s going on inside his head I'm glad he’s always lived his life on his terms.

Maybe people saw me with my boyfriends and thought I was gay Keanu. Keanu and I are the same age and I was a dead ringer for Keanu for 15 years, when I was out and about in NY, LA, London and Paris.

One summer afternoon in the 90s I turned on 42nd to head up Fifth Avenue and I slammed into another doppelgänger. He said whoa dude, the real Keanu? I laughed and said "I know its you, dude". But it was neither of us.

Idk, he seems pretty smitten with the woman he's with now. I've seen videos of them and affection seems genuine. Just because she's "older" (btw, younger than him still by now than a few years) doesn't mean no one would want her. She's accomplished, seems intelligent, and I think it's just the natural gray that makes her look "older".

His GF looks like Heidi Gardner from SNL, or Aaron Taylor Johnson's wife. Similar vibe.

R73 Jimmy Duval .Geffen's actual BF

R52 I know I’m dumb, but I have to ask… What does neurotypicism mean? I looked it up and there was no definition.

It’s very important for me to understand what words mean. In college and grad school, I carried around a dictionary so I could make sure I understood the words. It helps with comprehension of the text. If I do not understand a word then I forget the rest of the text.

It’s funny at first I was made fun of and then I actually had other students asking to borrow my dictionary.

Sorry for my stupidity.

R80 The "word" is likely gobbledygook from gender studies.

R81 oh gotcha.

For R80

Ok, this is gonna reveal my true age as an Elder here ( Oh Shit, what's the point, I'm older than Pharos's Tomb!), but it pertains to Keanu Gossip re: Geffen. Anyways, had a couple of good amigos WAAAYY back in the day at the bottom-feeder level of AP's at SKG. Along with doing all the shit the majordomos didn't want to do, yeah- they saw a lot of shit no one was supposed to talk about of course. ( Ok, except for a lot of beers and years.)

Well, yeah, except that Spielberg was/is a notorious slave-driver,egocentric dick, who gives not a shit about having his underlings be on call Christmas, New Years, 24/7,etc, and the other Notables in *KG* were equally blatant in their flaunted arrogance and demands. Geffen in particular, both my friends reported, thought nothing of keeping others on hold whole he took EXTRA long "lunches" with his up and coming favorites, one of whom was a frequent visitor - Keanu Reeves. Sigh.

But yeah. Like all the other posters above, I really think the guy was just playing the crap hand dealt to him as "Servicing Boy toy", (as are all the promising newcomers looking for a break- ESPECIALLY the ones so obviously damn Stunning and Gorgeous as K.R.)

Whatever his Sexual Preferences are, Diagnoses may be, the man is utterly, utterly cool, acts nothing less, dare I say, than a Respectable Adult ( looking at you Britney!) in EVERY occasion I have witnessed him in, and minds his own damn Fucking business! A real "Gentleman" in my book any day of the week.

R84 maybe it’s time to buzz the nightnurse

Dreamworks SKG was founded in 1994. Keanu Reeves was an A-list celebrity in 1994 having just made Speed. He was not an up and coming actor.

“Pill lady. Pill please. 💊 “

R85, say what you want- he was doing it of his own accord then. But there were many, many whose testimony I heard directly on multiple (social) that attested to these scenes. I only mention my two friends, because I knew and can vouch for them personally. Why tech crew, writers, and end even a few (grousing, higher-level associates) should mention this as common place ( and not just with Keanu!) is beyond me.

Personally, I'm surprised more of you can't begrudgingly concede the well-acknowledged execrable proclivities of Geffen at least. *If* true, ( which by many reports these liaisons with K.R. and other movie stars were) they bare NO reflection on him, but rather the craven and in inequitable demands of a manipulative Studio Head.

Also, See: Harvey Weinstein.

Additionally, David Geffen wasn’t involved in film production at Dreamworks. He was not a studio head. He oversaw Dreamworks Records. That was the point of DreamWorks. Spielberg =film; Katzenberg= animation and Geffen=music.

I have said it before and I’ll say it again:

Talking to people who know nothing about show business is like talking to children.

Additionally since we’re on the topic of neurotypicism

R84/R86 is a very good example of gay neurotypicism. Note the “I know how the world works/this is how it is” attitude and confrontational response when countered.

I’ll go a little bit further and add:

There is a further subset of gay neurotypicism which I have termed “Gay bottom-centric neurotypical projection syndrome.” This mindset presumes that all gay interactions are based on the same patterns of power exchanges, role-playing and tastes.

Very good example of this is Bryan Singer and his casting of both Hugh Jackman and Brandon Routh. I cannot tell you how many posters on here will INSIST these were both casting couch related. Because with GBCNPS, their expectation is that the desire to possess/be dominated by a strong, tall, well-built male is universal. Or that a strong tall well built male will also latently want to be dominated by a wealthy or powerful man, like R84/R86 insists.

Now, we KNOW what Bryan Singer’s sexual tastes are: teenage boys. But you will still run into people who will insist that he desired and bedded Jackman/Routh. Another good example related to Singer is when Matthew Lawrence said that he was sexually assaulted by an unnamed top director during a casting session. But the associated thread for that had people running to IMDB and looking for names of directors who won Oscars in the 2000s-2010s when, in their minds, Lawrence was at his most sexually desirable because he was in his twenties. And they kept throwing out names of guys who were twenty/thirty/forty years older than him. When, in reality, the event most likely happened when Singer was in his mid thirties and Lawrence was 18.

I wonder if he got Renfro’d at some point in the early days of his career…

Some more amusing writings from women trying to explain Keanu:

[quote] Reeves has never claimed to be a great actor; he humbly submits that he loves movies, and he loves making movies, and given that people love to see his movies, his mark on the world has been firmly struck in the column of love, and happiness, and dreamy eyes. Despite being world-famous, Reeves has eluded capture by celebrity culture. He is not on social media, so we are blissfully ignorant of his thoughts on many, many subjects. He seems to promote his movies and then vanish back to his normal Keanu-ish life, which I imagine involves riding his motorbike through the Mojave desert, surfing in remote parts of Central America, and visiting his mother.

Brad Renfro had an absent father and druggie jailbird mom who before abandoning him. He was raised by his grandma. With both parents absent (only coming back when he started making money) and an older guardian who can't watch him closely due to her age. It's no wonder he fell into a bad crowd and he wasn't supervised when was a minor in Hollywood.

Keanu's father was a deadbeat jailbird too who wasn't in Keanu's life but Keanu's mom raised him and did a good job. She remarried and his stepdad became a good role model and his real father. Keanu may have used the casting couch but he never let any of the studio execs fuck him over.

[Quote]Why has Keanu Reeves never had any real gay rumors/gossip?

Why is Keanu Reeves still alive is what I wanna know.

"Now, we KNOW what Bryan Singer’s sexual tastes are: teenage boys."

Are you Bryan Singer, R88? Are you a long-term PA who knows exactly who he's bedded for the last 30-40 years? If not, you're just as bad as the rest of us for insisting that you and only you know what's going on, but you're ruder about it that we are so STFU.

Yes, Singer prefers teen boys, the whole world knows that. But we don't know that he's 100% exclusively limited himself to twinks over the years, maybe he was sluttier back around 2000 and would occasionally enjoy a different type, or maybe he's just an evil monster who insists that any hot guy he casts submit to him, even if the hot guy isn't his type, and nobody can say that Singer isn't a coked-up dirtbag who might be capable of anything. We just don't know, or at least, the rest of us know that we don't know.

^ see how defensive they get?

Brandon Routh was a grown ass man at the time of Superman Returns. Superman is usually played a hot hunky guy with an innocent air. That's expected. Now Singer may have harassed Stephen Bender who played the younger version of Routh's Supes. Bender was a pretty good actor who did a few roles (like tgr 2000s gay teen classic Dream Boy) and then disappeared to become a rancher.

Incapable of admitting you might not know everything, then R94? I just admitted above I don't know everything!

Come on, you do it too, or prove you're as guilty of arrogance and projection as you accuse the rest of us of being.

Yes unfortunately Stephen Bender was 100% Singer’s type

Poor boy

Keanu seems more private than your typical guy so maybe he only engages with people who will be discreet.

Keanu is legit about being a private person and his circle of friends is small. Unlike other celebrities who claim they want their privacy yet live on social media 24/7 or just happen to just be hanging out at public spots and dressed up in designer clothes for the paparazzi..

Seriously, more actors should keep their private lives private, because the better-known an acto is as a personality and/or a private person, the less they are able to vanish into a role. That's one of the things that sunk Angelina Jolie's acting career, BTW, that and being a woman over forty. She got so famous for being famous, that she couldn't be a for-real human character any more.

R3 -and maybe Richard Simmons isn’t gay either

The idea that Keanu had to whore himself to get in the business is rubbish. His Brit mum Patricia Taylor was already a costume designer of note . His step dad was Paul Aaron a director and producer. He got a typical start thru them in commercials and small productions in Toronto. It's not who ya blow it's who you're related to. Phoneywood is all about nepotism.

R102 Yes. Even in the case Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney and Freddie Prinze Jr who didn't necessarily have their parents giving them roles (as opposed to Lily Rose Depp, Angelina Jolie or Jaden Smith). All they still had to do was mention a relative and I think that definitely helped them because it wasn't just their talent. Even in music, politics and sports you see this.

He seems asexual to me

I can see bisexual but I don't see gay. He also seems like the type who needs to have a strong connection with someone to be sexual. I think demisexual is what that's called. It's not asexual but it's more common than people think. Hookup culture tricked us into seeing sex as emotionless.

R105 yes demisexual or sapiosexual. Definitely not neurotypically sexual like those guys who can fuck a brain dead skank just because she has big tits and is willing.

Found it unbelievable his mom is British after hearing his accent in Dracula.

His accent in Dracula sounded as if a California surfer dude traveled back in time to Victorian England and wanted to blend in and did so terribly. Granted, Winona sounded awful too and exactly if Winona Ryder wanted to be British and failed. Gary Oldman carried that movie thank God.

R102 it was because he was beautiful. Gorgeous. Stunning. Knock out. Hot. Sexy. Good looking. A wax of a man.

NOT because he was a great actor.

Bryan Singer isn't exclusively into teens. I know a former Singer Boy who hooked up with Bryan when he was around 22. Btw, this same guy also "befriended" David Geffen.

He did. During the filming of My Own Private Idaho, it was alleged that he and River Phoenix were having sex.

ALLEGED?

More like they were in love.

^

The rumor was Keanu was at the Viper Room the nite River ODed but they hustled him out the back. Hence the life long guilt.

I think he's probably into some weird shit that would scare people if he ever made it public!

River Phoenix apparently was bicurious and open-minded but there's zero evidence he was gay. Just very gay-friendly, probably experimented at one point. So could have been bisexual, he died young. So we never will know. Not only was close to Keanu but also Michael Stipe. I think if he was gay/bi, he'd say it because after 1991, he was going on a downward spiral, showing up to interviews high of his mind and having no filter and even admitted he was molested. Martha Plimpton would out him because she also has no filter.

Martha Plumpton outed him?

R117 Sorry I meant to say "she would have outed him because she has no filter." Martha admitted she aborted their baby, that he had mental issues, his family were sketchy grifters and was a drug abuser for a while (despite his clean image) in interviews. So if he enjoyed homosex and she knew about it, I don't think she'd hide that either.

River was bisexual. His live in girlfriend Suzanne knew that River would also have sex with men at times.

River Phoenix was a child actor. All troubled former child actors were probably molested. By men. So Their pursuit of gay sex may not arise out of genuine homosexuality but rather as a coping mechanism for their trauma.

River had a cute little hairy chest and treasure trail. Little known fact.

Charlize Theron is his close friend and she seemed madly in love with Keanu.

Charlize is a sociopath with bad taste in men. Her love of Keanu doesn't speak well of him.

All women are madly in love with Keanu.

I do believe if he were to be harmed somehow, the women would rise up like in Paris right now.

[quote] ( Oh Shit, what's the point, I'm older than Pharos's Tomb!),

Oh, [italic]dear.[/italic]

Wow you must all be REALLY young. I’m a millennial but even I’m aware he has the most consistent gay rumors of any current major movie star besides Leo D.

But Keanu Reeves had gay rumors due to the absence of a robust heterosexual love life, not the presence of anything like a pronounced effeminacy or love of musicals.

Winona Ryder also seemed infatuated with him. They apparently got married on the set of Dracula but weren't aware it was a legitimate marriage. It's nice they got to reunite on screen 20 years later for Destination Wedding.

Leo seems emotionally stuck in adolescence. He can't articulate or express intellectual depth. He seems so vapid and shallow. His PR dates with models (aka escorts) is annoying.

R120, oh please. Being molested doesn't make you magically turn bi or gay. Ask all those guys who were molested by priests and are suing the church. Like 95% of them are straight

He slashed a Rothko painting during a fight with Geffen

Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t really have gay rumors. It’s generally understood many straight men would act like him if they could. Same deal with Jack Nicholson.

^ There have been rumors about Leo and the guys in his "posse"

…You do realize that straight men have friends right?

There are rumors that those guys are more than friends

But why? Everything stems from a frankly frauish view that all men want to aspire to monogamous heterosexual procreating Christian marriage.

R136 must have his head in the sand. Or be a DL newbie. We've been gossiping about Leo, Lukas, Tobey and the gang for years

But why? Those are exactly the type of friends he would have. None of them are even very good looking. You are creating something dimply based on the absence of something else rather than evidence.

R138, go read some old DL threads. We've been talking about them for years, it's not just me

R118 Martha Plimptons mom was a beautiful model. The baby would have been cute. How set for life would she have been having River Phonenix' baby?

And she was on Broadway in Hair

If Martha had River's baby. She'd probably get a restraining order against Heart and John because they'd be trying to put that baby in showbiz to support them and their grifts. Poor Joaquin and Rain had to take over as breadwinners for their lazy criminal parents. Heart really tried to make River into a "martyr" when he had a clear drug addiction and she as his mother didn't push him to get clean and put pressure on him to keep his wholesome vegan image. River was a total mama's boy.

I don't hear much of Keanu associating with the Phoenix clan. Which is a good thing. They are crazy.

Also Martha coming from money can provide way better than the cult leader bums that are the Phoenix parents.

I think Leo is just an asshole. He may be bisexual and all but I don't think he's just gay. Also those young women are hired companions and for his playboy image. They also have come out and said he's shitty in bed. I do think Lukas Haas is gay and he and Leo have a FWB thing going on.

I had an old boyfriend in the late 90s who said he slept with him. Also said he slept with Dan Córtese, the MTV host. Who knows?

Keanu was hooked on drugs and booze for a long time. He was seen often in the east village in the mid 90s. I was in a bar with him once but I didn't even know until my friend told me Keanu was standing next to me, he was incognito I suppose.

Right. Leo is best friends with a gay guy and has never been married and all his girlfriends follow the same fucking script but Leo himself is not gay...

Who let the fraus out?

R147 So a bisexual man (Leo) and a gay man (Lukas) can't be friends? Okay. And why would he be married and want kids? He acts like a teenager and is very immature. You think he would want to be be burdened with marriage. Now he'll probably pull a Naomi or Janet, and get a surrogate to have a child to inherit his fortune and let a nanny raise.

Here’s the thing, you are applying circumstantial evidence but you are eliminating the most important part IMO:

They have to have a “quality.”

Hugh Jackman has a quality, Jake Gyllenhaal has a quality, Andrew Garfield has a quality, Taron Egerton has a quality, Tom Holland has a quality.

Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t have this quality. Neither does Tom Cruise for that matter, but there is always a group of gay men, usually older, who insist that their homosexuality is the absolute truth.

Garfield is halfway out at least. He trolls people about his sexuality.

Leo just seems like an immature man-child, the rumors would make sense if there weren't women who came out and admitted he was a pig and crap in bed. Famous video vixen and groupie Bobbi Brown described sleeping with him, why would she lie? Yes, Gisele was a showmance. He mainly hired lower-end "models" aka escorts for company and they don't mind getting photographed with him if it helps them "break into" acting. Tobey, Leo, Kevin and Lukas are all friends because they both grew up in LA and were child stars.

Tom Cruise seems so asexual to me. I can see him as a someone whose good looks was the source of attention from powerful men in the industry and he slept with them for the opportunities it gave. All this talk of "spectrum" actors who are just a bit shy or eccentric while Tom Cruise is the biggest example of someone who does seem autistic to me with his single-mindedness, robotic smile and repetitive mannerisms.

Yes all of Cruise’s behavior falls neatly into Autism Spectrum Behavior (had a learning disability, cultivated a fake personality, joined a cult).

However, the demeanor does not. But, the demeanor does fall into the Sociopathic Spectrum. Look at how he looks at the reporter, like he’s hunting.

Autism and Sociopathic Spectrum overlap quite a bit. He is most likely on both.

I was always under the impression sociopathy was developed and sociopaths turn their empathy on and off. Like how some people become rich and developed sociopathic traits out of fear of losing their status. I can see many celebrities especially ones who reach A-List start out just regular people then become more and more sociopathic over time due to the power they wield.

Sociopathy can be acquired but it does exist in essence from early childhood. Like how the photos of young Charles Manson seem off.

Story when I was " industry adjacent" in Phoneywood" was that Keanu was in a long term relationship with fellow Dogstar band member Robert Mailhouse . Mailhouse was also an actor in some minor stuff. They both loved motor bikes and music and lived as partners in Keanu's house in the Birds next door to Toby Maguire. Coincidentally right around the corner from another happy "couple" the Haas-DiCaprio's. Sure it made for interesting block parties. Mailhouse is the tall dark haired bloke in this shot.

^ He looks a bit Rupert Everettesque

Nice looking "couple"

Anyone who calls Hollywood “Hollyweird” or “Phoneywood” has never lived there.

" I get an asexual vibe from him."

DL Frau's default position when presented with incontrovertible evidence the object of their fantasy want's nothing to do with their smelly gash.

He's obviously a eunuch ! . The only explanation gals!

want's or wants nothing to do with it ,,,,,either way you're accurate

"DL Frau's default position when presented with incontrovertible evidence the object of their fantasy want's nothing to do with their smelly gash."

No, the Frau default position is "He's a perfect gentleman with women, but of course he's straight!".

But Keanu has never read as either gay or straight onscreen, he reads as the guy who's knows everyone wants him so he doesn't have to display his sexuality, he knows he can just say "yes" when he feels like it. Which gives him a unique presence as an actor, because he's so photogenic that the camera his hot for him along with most of the audience, but that's not the same thing as reading as asexual... just mysterious. If I had to guess I suppose I'd say Bi, probably more into men than women, but like everyone here I'd just be guessing. But unlike SOME people here, I know I'm guessing and not stating an established truth.

Frau is so overused now. 90% of the so-called "fraus" on here are gay men who have independent thoughts.

The worst thing that I’ve heard about Keanu is that he has hygiene issues. Allegedly he was once asked to leave a restaurant in Hollywood because people were complaining about his stench.

Brad Pitt also allegedly had poor hygiene

I wonder why he descended into alcoholism and filth for so many years when he kind of had everything. He was an immense star with shocking wealth, youngish and handsome and fit.

R165, maybe because he *is* asexual and couldn’t find a woman until Alex who also wasn’t really interested in sex?

Depression doesn't discriminate. You can have everything and still suffer from sadness. He had a great stepfather but his biological father's absence still would haunt him. He lost his best friend River also.

You don't understand frauen logic. For these heifers there is NEVER EVEH going to be any incontrovertible PROOF that one of their dream lovers is gay. Even if you showed them a photo of Reeves sucking a cock it would be because : He was researching a part or the victim of childhood sexual abuse or just goofing or in an experimental phase. They live in a hetero normative vagina centric world. Can't conceive a good looking man especial a matinee idol would be homosexual.To these lumpen cows Rock Hudson was the last fag in Hollywood. Then they went extinct like dinosaurs. Even Bi is a leap too far for most of these heifers. After these closet cases are long dead their frau fandom still stake their own self worth on defending their posthumous heterosexuality. BUT HE WAS MARRIED AND HAD KIDS! Waste of time.

or maybe Keanu just likes to suck filthy cock?

R163 Thought that was Brad Pitt whose nick name was "Stanky"

R159 WTF a warning should be required.

Only gays and lesbians insist every famous celebrity is a gay or lesbian. And for the same straight women will insist on heterosexuality, they find them attractive. That's it. Unless there's some consistent anecdotes or hard evidence or a confession. It's speculation. No reason to get all emotional about a lighthearted topic. And funny enough straight men assume everyone is straight 99% of the time.

If I were guessing I'd say Keanu wants to shag moi.

R168

Replace “frauen” with “neurotypicals” and that would be how I think of you

Neurotypicals simply cannot conceive neurodivergent sexuality. They do not accept it at all.

R172, no one here actually think he is gay, the OP asked why there hasn’t been gay rumors about him (because he stays single publicly at least for many years) like their are about Tom Cruise and others. A solid amount here do think he’s straight but asexual meaning he isn’t interested much in sex.

He's still a lousy actor.😁

Possibly because he's always been known to be a heterosexual.

I don't think it's necessarily neurodivergent to be asexual, demisexual or sapiosexual. Sexual attraction has always been complicated and it develops differently based on genetics, environment and exposure. "Born this way" is affirming but it's only halfway true.

Asexual means absence of sexual attraction. It’s not really an accurate word because it means a very specific thing.

Sexual neurodivergent is my preferred term even though it’s a mouthful.

R175 Frau McFraun

We rest our case.

Has any woman claimed to have slept with Keanu? We hear women talk about Leo, Brad, Johnny and others.

He's never looked good in long hair.

R176 Keanu's better at behaving then acting.

R176 The Asian is strong in him. He cannot grow a full beard. It's always a patchy mess.

Acting or behaving apparently he does it with open eyes.

R183 Those pics were so sexy and sensual.

All the Hollywood Aspies tend to have the exact same qualities

1. Often astounding facial beauty and mesmerizing eyes

2. Can seem scorchingly sexual in a posed photograph

3. They do not seem that way in real life or onscreen. When acting, they project, as noted above, a cavalier “take it or leave it” quality which makes them even more mysterious. You’ll frequently hear something like “He’s so beautiful to look at but I don’t get a sexual vibe.” They can seem stiff, aloof, disinterested, passive, recalcitrant, excessively formal. Objet d’art instead of sex object.

Most actors aren't that sexy off the camera. Many sexy in real time people aren't sexy on camera either.

This asexual shit is the new frau thing when they don’t want their actors to be gay but they’re too “progressive” to demand they be heterosexual.

Perhaps you are just too reactionary to accept they may be neurodivergent?

R189, nah straight women just ignore any possible gay whispers/clues about their sex symbol crushes (Henry Cavil’s legion are in neck deep denial, I’ve seen first hand). They wouldn’t even want them asexual, that’s still too weird for them. They need imagine their crush fucking them and an ace man wouldn’t want to.

R176 Dude Keanu taught me how a real man kisses a woman.

Neurodivergent , asexual, demisexual , sapiosexual = I love the D !

I don't think it's straight women who push that asexual label. Some celebrities just seem that way. No sexual vibe to them. I'm pretty sure most people on DL are men btw. There's probably way more straight men trolling on here than straight women. Duexmoi, Tumblr and Celebitchy is where straight women post.

R187 that man looks gay

I have a friend in LA who's had him, but that was about 20 years ago.

R187 You've never actually had sex have you dear?

He looks like a member of dead or alive.

Meets Edward Scissorhands

Obviously based on the title of this thread OP is Gen Z or Millennial. Many posters appear to have no idea of the ancient history that " Keanu is gay" has been going around for 30 years.The poster who wrote "no one thinks Keanu is gay" must have the 58 yo grizzled John Wick actor in mind. Well child back in the day ,Johnny Utah was as fine as it got. And women and men wanted to shag him. Speculation about his sexuality hit the main stream. So much so that they came out and asked him. His response was classic Keanu:

When asked in an Interview Magazine interview in 1990 whether he was gay, Reeves responded by saying, “No, but ya never know.”

I really respect he's childfree. He is probably too much of a workaholic to be a devoted father. Celebrities treat their children like pets and have nannies raise them while they do their projects and only take the kids out for the paparazzi. Keanu seems like a good egg to know Hollywood is horrible place to raise kids.

R198 or young Severus Snape

R200 Probably Gen Z. Millennials are in their 30s and 40s.

We went to the premiere of PB in Westwood. Reeves and Swayze literally shone. You had to have been there.

R196, was your friend male or female?

But that’s exactly how you are. Yes, I agree that women think that way; but, many gay men also think that way. In my experience, the further you get on the effeminate/bottom scale, the closer the thinking gets to being like a woman’s. And, ironically but not surprisingly, so does the misogyny. Which again conforms to the pattern of female thinking, because many women hate other women. It’s always the screaming bottoms in pink tube tops who are most flagrant with casual misogyny. Gay Neurotypical Bottom-Centric Projection Syndrome. You want to fantasize about these men exactly like women do: a large man on top of you crushfucking you.

Speaking of Cavill, you don’t know how many gay men pull out for evidence of Cavill’s sexuality that he was roommates with Corey Spears for years before he became famous (Corey Spears was very slight/extremely boyish in the aughts.) Because it confirms to the bottom-projection fantasy of a desirable, large man dominating a smaller effeminate man.

Well he never sucked MY dick.

The last part I disagree with, because these women essentially force-project a chastity onto their celeb and despise any women he publicly dates. Henry Cavill’s fans hate all his girlfriends, Ben Barnes’s fans hate all his girlfriends, Chris Evans dating Alba Baptista sent his fans into a meltdown.

[quote] “Your Fandom is not upset because you’re in a relationship. Rather, it was the reveal of your relationship that made us feel betrayed by you. We feel betrayed by the Chris you lead us to believe is you [...] the rude awakening that our belief in you is based on nothing but lies than you’ve been selling us.”

Chris Evans stopped being hot a while ago. So weird he has obsessive fans.

"The last part I disagree with, because these women essentially force-project a chastity onto their celeb and despise any women he publicly dates."

That's not part of women insisting a man is straight, that's just how they react to hot male celebrities who are actually straight - or who go to the trouble of faking straightness. If he's attached they hate his girlfriend for not being more like themselves or actually being themselves, and if she actually IS like themselves then they say she doesn't deserve him. It's pure jealousy and hatred, seasoned with several kinds of projection, because they'll always blame the man's SO for his own faults.

But it's the guys who don't bother to fake straightness who bring out the real irrationality, and Keanu falls into that category. I have not seen his fans being as crazy as, say Michael Jackson fans, or if you remember the Clay Aikens? They were the WORST, because the poor sap called himself a Christian they convinced himself he was a straight male virgin, but I haven't seen anything like that from Keanu fans. Anyone got any batshittery stories from that fandom?

R211 Sure there's a coherent thought in there somewhere but we don't have the time to dig it out.

[quote]Chris Evans stopped being hot a while ago.

I just know the poster who wrote this is over 60.

Is he a top or a bottom?

Or a SIDE

R210 Maybe he hasn't stop being hot. But definitely he has stopped being interesting with his weird-ass relationships.

Chris Evans was only hot in the late 2000s and early 2010s. He's still decent looking but he peaked half a decade ago..

Chris Evans is 42 years old. Millennials are old now. Gen Z ain't checking for him.

Oh, he PEAKED. Well, throw him back.
