Jerry O'Connell - Where the hell did this bizarre looking man come from?

Jesus Christ he was in Stand by Me

Are you a Zoomer or something?

Then he was in the cult Fox show Sliders at the peak of his beauty

OP, you can't sit with us. Ever.

middle earth

He was the prized football jock that Tom Cruise desperately wanted to recruit in JERRY MAGUIRE but ultimately lost him to Jay Mohr.

Admittedly he does look like a plastic surgery victim now

Oh... LOL! Well I didn't know he'd been in so much! I'm 50, I should remember Stand By Me but I don't. I don't think I actually even saw it. I DID see Jerry McGuire though and don't remember him. But even in R2's pic he doesn't look all that "beautiful" to me. The pic at R5 just looks weird.

I will say that, in the face, at least in R5's pic, he looks a little like younger Josh Hartnett. And I am deeply in love with Josh Hartnett.

His greatest role was Georgie Cooper, Sheldon's older brother.

OP you totally watch soap operas all day long

LOL no, bitch R10, I don't. But trust me, I so wish I could. I really wish I could. If you knew what my job is like, you might even pity me. ;)

How could you not remember Stand By Me? What were you doing with your time in the 80s?

Early 60s?

He can't be that ugly, he scored Rebecca Romijn

He seems very sweet, but has a manic energy that makes me nervous.

[quote]He can't be that ugly, he scored Rebecca Romijn

Honey, there wasn't a dick in 80's and 90's Hollywood that didn't "score" Rebecca Romijn. I'm sure nobody was clamoring for that by the time she stopped on him.

Weird that OP never heard of him when they’re basically the same age. Jerry has been in front of the camera most of his life. That’s like saying you don’t know Jason Bateman.

My Secret Identity always come to mind when I think of Jerry O'Connell

R16 If you say so, it must be true, anonymous poster on the internet.

[quote]Honey, there wasn't a dick in 80's and 90's Hollywood that didn't "score" Rebecca Romijn.

You clearly are winging it; her first acting roles were in 1998. That's a long time spent on the casting couch.

Prior to O'Connell, Romijn was married to John Stamos for like a decade.

Romijn is now on "Strange New Worlds." She's pretty much lost her looks, but she's a much better actress than I would have given her credit for being.

I'm sure he's totally straight, but he's bizarrely interested in all the comings and goings of the Real Housewives. He seems to watch all the franchises and loves babbling about them on any Andy Cohen vehicle.

[quote]but she's a much better actress than I would have given her credit for being.

She was great in Ugly Betty.,

Jerry is strange looking much like Joey Lawrence. Too polished and stylized.

Also it is rumored he has/had an eating disorder and an inappropriate relationship with his brother.

I think he seems manic ala Ty Pennington and Mark McGrath.

R21 No, she didn't. She's still gorgeous

He does the voice of Cmdr. Jack Ransom on Lower Decks.

Recall a Pleistocene Era rumor he was fucking his brother.

I remember those rumors from long ago. Jerry and his brother Charlie shared an apartment together in LA for years and it was rumored that they were incestuous. I would've loved to have been in the middle of an O'Connell brothers sandwich!

Brothers sharing an apartment. What a bizarre idea. Of course, they must have been lovers.

I can't imagine wanting your brother as your roommate. Better to get a total stranger who might be a psycho than the brother you grew up with.

r28, they are well known to have shared an entire apartment COMPLEX, not just one apartment...16 units as I remember...they invested their money at a young age and probably are still reaping the rent checks...which go up every year, apparently. True, they did share one of the upstairs units for years, but I think two relatively well-adjusted siblings can do that without being incestuous.

It was more than them sharing an apartment together, they acted very "close" in public.

Why does DL think that whenever two straight men are close as friends or brothers that they must also be lovers somehow?

R32 because many gay men didn’t get enough love from their fathers

[quote] Early 60s?

She's trolling. He's 49 and looks no older than his age. He's cute.

Where did he come from? He's had a career spanning decades, OP. And he was pretty damn cute in the 90's, too.

Nope r33. Not me. But the rumors were around for a long time, people who knew both brothers said they were VERY close. Whatever, this is a gossip board and that's gossip for you.

His current "career" can be attributed to one thing: Female human beings find him non-threatening.

[quote] But the rumors were around for a long time, people who knew both brothers said they were VERY close. Whatever, this is a gossip board and that's gossip for you.

Granted this is a gossip board and so you are of course free (and welcome!) to post gossip,.

But, that doesn't mean other people can't also post their skepticism about it.

OP you are such a liar.

The O'Connell brothers being incestuous was a big rumor in LA in the 2000s. Who knows what's really true.

Jerry O'Connell propositioned a guy he knew was gay to fuck Rebecca Romijn while he watched. That's another old gossip item.

Total FMD energy

R34 I dunno, I saw Pictionary last week and was struck by how shitty he looked. He seemed embarrassed, and lost about how to behave now that the boyish aww-shuks schtick can’t be as easily sold.

WHET to Charlie?

He was also in Crossing Jordan. He was really cute back then. His brother did a couple guest appearances on there as well.

Boyish doesn't age well.

Brother Charlie was the Bachelor one it’s earlier seasons.

Saw him at the Skylight diner a few years ago. He was walking around looking for the restroom and desperately trying to be recognized.

His mom’s pussy

R42, I just saw O'Connell on Pictionary - why I searched for this thread - and thought he looked good and seemed as comfortable as any host could be on a very low-rent game show. I don't expect him to look the same as he did 20 years ago, but for a 50-year-old, he's nice-looking. He's definitely had some work done, but it looks natural.

He has the same manic energy as ever, but he's warm, charming and very nice. I remember the rumors above about his brother, but has there ever been any real scandal connected with him? Cheating? "Do you know who I am" outbursts?

I remember O'Connell from Jerry Maguire, but he first caught my eye in Scream II, playing pretty Neve Campbell's goofy sexy boyfriend, singing "I Think I Love You" to her in the college library.

If thats him at the pic R5 posted I want to fuck him. Maybe he's had work but damn his body is hot for his age - or any age

R12 - R8 was doing time in the 80s.
