Famous Men in the Closet

Why would you think it's ok to out anyone? Even by speculation.

R1 doesn't understand the culture here.

Either that or he's a closeted celeb!!

Oh wasn’t that Nxivm guy in a closet? What was his name again?

Per DataLounge every famous celebrity is gay and just not out. Most are tortured closet cases. This is a bedrock principle on which DL is based. Anyone positing any knowledge to the contrary will be immediately flamed and fraued.

R2. It's the latter.

And R4 is R1 's lover.

All famous men are secretly gay. That is the cardinal rule of DL.

Not us! We're both very butch and can't get enough pussy.

[quote]Per DataLounge every famous celebrity is gay and just not out.

Only the hot ones and the homophobic ones. As per DL there is no such thing as a straight homophobe.

Wow, such an original idea for a thread, OP.

We haven't had a who's gay list in ages R10.

[quote]This is a bedrock principle on which DL is based.

I AM NOT GAY!!!

Shannon Sharpe.

I don't know anyone in this predicament.

OP, there are hundreds of closeted celebrities still in the closet today. It would take days to list them all.

R15, maybe it does or will or did take actual days, but this site was pretty much founded on the subject. We have many older lists and discussions but nothing like we had in the 90's and 2000's. Basically, DL has always done such lists and found the time to do so.

^should read nothing in 2024 like we had in the 90's and 2000's.

A few closeted celebrities have come out since those days, but there's still a long list left to go.

Gene Hackman

Lyle Lovett

Chrissy Metz

R Kelly (Water Closet)

Richard Simmons

Judy Dench

Gene Hackman? Now, that's a new one! I've never heard that before.

R Kelly??

Straight men don't go into show business. All are a bit bi at the very least.

We saw Wayne Brady before he came out

Tyler P

Ryan S

Jake G

R22 uh huh. But every semi attractive athlete is also a closeted gay, according to DL.

Wishful thinking abounds.

On DL all famous men are gay, especially if they have played a gay man on film. No one on this thread has any first hand knowledge. I know of 2 first hand: John Travolta and Timothy Dalton. I’ve heard lots of second hand stuff over the decades- who knows. I also believe all that is in Scotty Bowers book about old Hollywood. Why? Because I knew two guys quite well who worked/networked with him in the late 70s. Scotty was a well known “secret” in LA for decades.

R25 I heard stories about Dalton, what have you heard/seen regarding his proclivities...

I have it on very good authority that the following are Gay:

Jake G Austin N Bradley C James F Lance B! Tom C Jeremy R Charlie S J Bairstow (lol) Keanu R W Miller John T

And so many more…

I'll Make this easy. Here are all the famous men that are not in the closet per DL:

.

Whoops! Here are all the famous men in and out of the closet per DL:

All famous good looking men.

The guy who is on Abbott Elementary who used to be on Everybody Hates Chris.

Lance bass is already out, isn't he?

R26, he very nicely asked me out when I sold him about a half dozen slacks at Andre Oliver in about 1980.

This queen is in the GOP closet, along with Lindz and Tim

Another one in the GOP closet

Aaron Rodgers

Matt Damon

Vin Diesel

In frau world, there are no famous gay/bi men. You could be a drag kaween and the local fraus will swear up and down the DQ in question is het. All mens just love the stench of Cheryl’s pussoi.

Also in the GOP closet

Football seems to have a fair amount.

R40, lies! All lies!

At this point, English footballer Ben Chilwell (last one from left to right) should just come out already.

^ Guuuurl

what's the verdict on Chris Evans?

On his marriage or his sexuality, R44?

Gosh, sorry OP. I started making my list but quit when my typing fingers were worn down to nothing but shreds of hanging flesh clinging to painful bones.

[quote] Gene Hackman? Now, that's a new one! I've never heard that before.

Guuurl, don't tell me you didn't know about Miss Gene Hackman!

The link at R33 lists Jason Smith as being “close friends” with. Aaron Schock.

R47 what about him? Who said that?

[quote]Famous Men in the Closet: Politics/Sports/Business/Tech/ - Music/Hollywood - whatever? Who is gay/bi and not out?

I don't understand the question...

and I refuse to answer it!

R49 - R19 did (referencing the National Enquierer)

John Goodman

R52 receipts? I adore him.

John Goodman has long been brought up here in very similar threads.

David Tyler Muir

Long suspected: Magnum PI and 2 out of 3 of the male cast of Friends. (They were all on Friends, actually)

R48, I'm sure those two are very,very close

Pedro Pascal is still resisting officially coming out.

Mike Pence

Shawn Mendes

Pedro Pascal

Edgar Ramirez

Richard Madden

FF me all you want, but I still maintain that Mouseboy is gay or bi, and not because he made out with Arm & Hammer onscreen. He pinged for me from the word go.

Kiefer Sutherland

MAGA Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House

Shannon Sharpe? Really, R13?

Makes sense.

R25 The thing that bothered me about Bowers' book (besides the fact that it was so poorly written) was that there wasn't a single picture of him with any of the scores of celebrities he claimed to have been friends with and for whom he procured sex partners.

It makes me skeptical about how much of his story was true and how much was greatly embellished.

R64 like a lot of closeted athletes in professional sports, his network of handlers and hangers on exercise a lot of spin control. Allegedly he was with Kerry Rhodes’s former side piece.

^ Wait, Mantasia was with Shannon Sharpe? Details, please!

For r67..

Miss Matt Schlapp

Men I have slept with who are closeted Homos that mentioned here on DL- Miss Troy Aikman, Skip Baylis outed him first in his book. 2 divorces Troy. You destroyed all the good financial work I did for you. Bad closeted GAY Troy...Bad!!

Barry Diller- I wanted to know if his giant penis was THAT big and thick...It is that big!! I was 25 yrs old, just graduated from Wharton. I was too old for him (it was 1984), and I was married. He told me that my wife was a very good choice for a 1st marriage, all those Canadian billions on both sides of the families. They're Midwesterners& frequent Chicago in the summer.

Phillywhore here- Jeff Garcia-Philly Eagle& 49'er quarterback. How the HELL that the press didn't report on his sexual gay adventures in the 2-4 club in Philly& San Francisco clubs.

Tommy Morrison, boxer, filmed Rocky V in Philly in 1990, developed a taste for penis and ass, plus rim jobs while filming his movie. Another one who loved the 2-4 club, gay bars, ABS and bathhouses all over Philadelphia.

Wait, you slept with Troy Aikman? Details please!

Every appraiser ever on Antiques Roadshow US.

We said famous, R73.

Tommy Morrison was gay? Wow.

That's not much of a closet, r60. A 14 year old girl could guess those.

Oscar Isaac too, if you believe the blind items.

Like Magic Johnson, Tommy claimed that Hetro pussy infected him with Aids because he loved pussy soooo much. However, Tommy couldn't stay out of ABS, gay bookstores, movie theatres, peep shows, bathhouses in CC Philly& South Philly Cannot forget the strip clubs, where more HOMO sex goes on than str8(esp. the sleazy ones). Even the boxing clubs in North Philly& private gay parties, where Tommy was always welcome to "cum in& have fun".

To R74, the Gay twin brothers are pretty famous& well-known. They are twins, correct.

[quote]I still maintain that Mouseboy is gay or bi

He may be. I've come to realize it was Elio Perlman I fell in love with in CMBYN, not Tim O'Tay. Which means he played a fiercely convincing homosexual. Which runs directly into your point that he's gay or bi.

Timmy Chevrolet…not a typo, is so obviously thirsty he’d take anything presented to him, especially if it would be career-enhancing.

He’s the epitome of the 21st Century casting couch slut.

[quote]Which means he played a fiercely convincing homosexual.

He basically played himself.

Ian McDiarmid

I’ve posted this before a few years ago, but James Garner. With his wife’s blessings too.

R84 More details, please.

R70 Is Troy Aikman hung?

R85 it was a blind item that I read on AGC. He confessed to his wife that he was attracted to men and they made some kind of arrangement a la SJP and Matthew Broderick.

R87 I'd have gladly arranged something with him back in the day when he was hot as hell.

James Garner was good friends with Steve McQueen who was also rumored to enjoy cock.

Seth MacFarlane - creator of Family Guy and American Dad. Slight gay face. Always wears suits and very clean cut and well groomed. Obsessed with musicals and old big band. Seems to be a huge fan of the golden era of Hollywood. Private guy who rarely talks about himself.

R1 is just trolling, but still requests,

[bold]Would someone please shit in my mouth?!?![/bold]

James Garner from his days as a model…

Garner had a hot body as a young man

Will Smith

Shemar Moore

I've mentioned him before and have no idea how he didn't get infected in the late 80's& 1990's. Big old hairy chested whore. Loved bathhouses. NYC, Chicago& LA.

Tom Selleck

Chris Evans aka The G(r)ay Man maybe?

^ Years ago, when David E. (remember him?) posted here, he claimed that Selleck used to troll at some steamroom in LA. One poster posted something like "What's so gay about inhaling steam?" and then David E. responded "He wasn't inhaling steam, he was inhaling cock!" I laughed so hard

That still stands out in my mind, years later

R97 Since when is Chras Avans name Sallack?

laurence fishburns

Jamie Bell

R98, it was in response to the r95 post about Selleck

R101 Thanks for clarifying. Is Evans your type?

Billy Magnussen.

R84, Garner supposedly used to go to Morocco/Tunisia on long vacations with Julie Andrew's director husband.

Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards had a lavender marriage.

R104, I didn’t know that about Garner. I did hear stories about Blake Edwards though.

Wasn’t Julie linked to Carol Burnett?

[quote]Julie Andrew's director husband.

Oh, dear.

R107 likes to cherish that little bit of education s/he has.

Haha, that should been Julie Andrews' husband, Blake Edwards, James Garner was in a marriage similar to Tom Jones.

Tom Jones likes men?

The more you know...

R110 I can die happy now

Cary Grant

R110. My Aunt Erma can die happy now.

R8 They also happen to be the two ugliest men as well.

Jimmy Garoppolo

Simon Cowell

Tony Danza

Tom Jones? What about the affair with Mary Wilson? Mary was a beard?

[quote] Garner had a hot body as a young man

and low-hangers as an old man.

Miss Tyler Perry

Tyler was linked to football player Lavernious Coles and that Brock "manbun" O'Hurn he put on that soap opera that didn't last too long.

Lukas Bravo from Emily in Paris?

Didn't Colin Quinn say that a former "elfish" SNL cast member is in the closet?

^^^he must've meant Chris Kattan.

Are we not counting Hugh now that he & Deb have split?

Robby Soave

Miss Hogan Gidley

[quote]Tom Jones? What about the affair with Mary Wilson? Mary was a beard?

No, but she had one when she couldn't afford electrolysis.

R122 I read something years ago about Chris Kattan being HIV positive. Anyone else ever hear that?

I do r128. Either from drugs or from unprotected sexual contact.

Miss Trevor Donovan

Anthony Jeselnik

Wasn’t there a rumor that JFK Jr. experienced the mansex in college?

R132. Several rumors.

Ted Casablanca

Dubya.

R133 who was the lucky one?

Prince Edward.

Who by the way is looking better and seems to have put back on a few pounds. Whatever illness he had/has seems to be under control.

Eddie Windsor is a "big cock-sucking royal faggot" Ask Michael Ball& Andrew Lloyd-Webber.

Plus, most of the good looking backstage male workers. Maybe Eddie got to swallow sum American baby batter, better for you.

To this day I still think actor Shane West is a closet case.

Just looked at WEST’s Wiki.

Gayer than a pink Easter bonnet.

The late Billy Preston.

R140, how is he gayer than a pink Easter bonnet, other than having the name Shannon?

Ben Affleck

Taylor Swift

Tim Tebow

All the men in the Fox acting dynasty

Brad Pitt on Monday, Thursday and certain Saturdays

R140, I agree that Shane West is probably gay. Pushing 46 and no sign of a wife or kids.

The same is true for Nick Wechsler.

Shane West Is Gay (no I have not fuck him or been fucked by him) However, he is a very nice guy, met him several times over the years. Always confused Shane West with Timothy Olyphant (Justified, Deadwood), and I have told both over the years about my confusion.

Who doesn’t love closets? That’s where I keep all of my dildos.

Interesting background on some classic Hollywood gays.

Cuba Gooding Jr.

Usher

Diddy

What about the guy who played Tom Branson on Downtown Abbey? Weren't there stories here on DL of him being out in Ireland before he made it big?

Randy Travis...1st Beard(wife) was 16 years older than him.

Kenny Chesney (please leave the cowboy hat on), Renee sued him for "FRAUD" when she divorced him 27 seconds later!!

What part of that type of "fraud" didn't Renee Zellweger comprehend? She's covered for both CIooney and Bradley Cooper. Shouldn't she be well versed on the subject?

Willy Geist

David Muir

Harry Styles. Louis Tomlinson. Zayn Malik. Niall Horan. Liam Payne.

Timothy Olyphant has always pinged to me.

[quote]What about the guy who played Tom Branson on Downtown Abbey?

He recently did a miniseries where he played a married gay man.

Are Ben Affleck and Matt Damon still in?

I'm not a fag, fag!

What was up with that reacharound JO storyline Matt Damon dead with Don Cheadle?

Which one, R159?

R160, in 2nd season of House of Lies (2012-2016), Ep 4. Quoting from Reddit "Matt Damon as himself in House of Lies. Starts off the episode basically proclaiming that all the intelligence and charity work is just for show and that he's a skirt-chasing douchebag. Gets more and more strung out on painkillers throughout the episode and ends up demanding a handjob from Don Cheadle's character. He gets the handjob."

Here's a link to part of the episode.

Thank you, R161.

Don't we have some 35 and younger men to add the list?

R163 See R61.

Was Jude Law mentioned?

Jude Law should be mentioned. And what about Ryan Phillipe?

Morey Amsterdam

Kiefer Sutherland

I don't think Jude Law is gay. Or Ryan Phillippe (sadly).

Jude Law and his alleged closeted tea…

CIooney. Also, his long-time buddy Richard Kind.

Does someone have info on Christiano Ronaldo

Clooney was almost out early in his career. But as his star rose, his handlers pushed him back into the closet, where he's been ever since.

When he and Rande aren't turning Italian twinks into vegetables.

[quote]Clooney was almost out early in his career.

During Facts of Life and Roseanne?

I am often surprised how many people do not know Al Pacino is a big mo.

Robert Irwin (Steve Irwin's son)

Apparently R174.

R174, Aunt Rosemary hired him to be the chauffeur for the 4 Girls 4 tour years ago.

All gay men have track lighting. And all gay men are named Mark, Rick or Steve

Any athletes we should know about?

No. None. There are no closeted gay athletes.

Is Travis in the closet?

It’s weird that there hasn’t been a major celeb coming out since Noah Schnapp early in 2023. It might be the industry shutdown last year which slowed everything down. Though currently-closeted celebs probably also see straight or at least non-out actors landing most gay roles these days, so that’s gotta be a big demotivator.

R183:

Froy Gutierrez (and by default, Richard Madden…lol)

Lukas Gage

I know there are others…

John Mayer

R184 Lukas Gage was married to a man. How exactly is he closeted?

R183 mentioned how no one had come out recently…I was replying.

Reading is fundamental.

Does Tanner Buchanan count as closeted? He’s never made an official coming out statement, but he’s been pretty outspoken about his attraction to males. Surprised the media has yet to pick up on it.

Receipts R188 ?

A very random mention, but I think tennis player Juan Martin del Potro must be at least bi. Kinda curious that he'll turn 36 this year and still unmarried and childless.

"that he'll turn 36 this year and still unmarried and childless"

That's gotta be one of the dumbest reasons ever. We don't live in the 1940s anymore

Adam Huber.

Graham Bensinger

Josh Hutcherson

Josh Henderson

Lucas Adams

Adam is pretty in a book-ish/professor kind of way.

R193 He isn't officially out but he doesn't hide it. He has a male "roommate".

R194, are you talking about the same Adam Huber who has a girlfriend all over his IG? If so, it seems like he is somewhat hiding it.

There is a very simple answer to this, OP:

1) Anyone who is hot and handsome is secretly gay, ESPECIALLY if he has only ever been in relationships with women or is happily married to a woman - that only means that he's a closet case and deep in denial about his true sexuality, and he needs to be forced out of the closet in here... Especially if some random DLer has a fantasy of being the one to "turn" him.

2) Anyone ugly or out of shape is definitely not gay, unless they're a politician or public figure we do not like - then we will display our internalized homophobia by issuing accusations of homosexuality in order to ridicule him, because deep down inside this place is full of retrogrades who think they're enlightened intellectuals just because they hate Trump.

3) Any openly gay man needs to be picked apart and relentlessly attacked for the silliest reasons, and we must claim that he's not good enough even if he's a 10, and most DLers are 4s at best. Also, if said gay man commits the unforgivable sin of being happy and in love, we must go out of our way to vilify him! How dare he be happy?! Obnoxious little bitch!

Honestly, for some of the mentions, like Chris Kattan, what the hell is the point of staying closeted? What would be the big opportunity they would miss out on if they said, yeah, I take it up the ass every day and twice on Sundays?

R191 When you're a Latino man, it does count.

As we've discussed many times in previous discussions, unless a celebrity officially and fully comes out as gay or reveals that they are in a same-sex relationship, they are not considered out. It's not enough to hint at it or play games about the subject. The media does not consider a celebrity to be out or gay unless it is done officially and completely. That is a big part of the reality of this whole situation we see year after year.

Interesting names above, it's good to get an ideas of the younger names in Hollywood.

R199

So Richard Madden is a straight dude.

Glass closets are a centuries-old, time-honored tradition, not unlike “…bundling, a New England custom both reverenced and honored.”

What other athletes?

R195, pretty sure he was fucking Jonathan Bennett for awhile.

Here is an article from 2014 suggesting Jonathan Bennett was dating Adam Huber.

Here you go R189. Also, check out Tanner’s appearance on the100th episode of Lone Lobos podcast.

All actors are attention whores, and will lap up flattery from any direction, even to the point of having sex. Orientation is immaterial.

James Marsden.

First hand knowledge of Randall Woodfin - Mayor of Birmingham, Alabama and Brian Boitano

I've never met an ex-Marine, no matter how straight, who didn't like to bottom on occasion.

R208, didn't Brian Boitano come out several years ago?

I HOPE Shannon Sharpe is gay!

He's gorgeous.

I've heard that Austrian diver Alex Hart is out to his team mates.

R211 Speaking of divers, I don't believe a shit that Jack Laugher hasn't tasted cock before.

Is Dan Stevens a poly bi married man?

I still have difficulty believing Steele Johnson is a vagina preferrer.

R210 You need glasses

R212, Jack Laugher claims to be straight, but as a friend of Tom Daley's, it is possible he has witnessed a few activities in the locker room over the years . . .

As you may know, Jack has had an OnlyFans for the past few years where he posts photos of himself with underwear cock bulges:

R218 Dude's got a ton of foreskin,

My takes from the above mentioned: Richard Madden Jeremy Renner Bradley Cooper Josh Hutcherson Tom Cruise John Travolta Ryan Seacrest Tyler Perry

One I can't figure out: Henry Cavill

Wasn’t Henry Cavill recently with Paris Hilton? Has she ever been known to be a beard?

Chad White (the model, no the porn performer).

R222 I meant "not the porn performer".

Somebody's contract is up!

Ryan Seacrest .. New beard every few years. Last one thought he would advance her acting career. Best she got was two cooking segments on "Live With ....."

Poor Dad

So do we need to add Robert Mitchum to the list?

I’m guessing Tyler Cameron will be the next himbo from “The Bachelorette” franchise to magically discover his true sexuality. Just a hunch.

R228. He’s dripping with the gay.

How DARE you, R229! He is positively dripping with unbridled machismo!

r221 Has Paris Hilton ever bearded??? She is a lesbian. Any guy you see her with is her beard.

R231 So when Chad Michael Murray was cheating on his wife with Paris, he was doing so to be her beard? Make it make sense

r232 fucking not dating. She might like dick on the side but mama is a carpet muncher.

R233 Yes, cause lesbians are known to like dick on the side. She's been with more dudes that half of Dataloungers combined. Just shut up

R234. Girl…drop the Swifty Stan shit and get a life.

He's a drip.

Troy Aikman and George Strait. That's all I got for you. I'm sure everyone already knows about these two though.

George Strait? Really?

R235 What the fuck are you blabbering about?

Andrey Rublev. At this point, I don't know who does he want to fool?

Myron Floren

Henny Youngman

Richard Madden

^^^ I’m a fanboy of his.

How the fuck did I leave him off the list?

David Hartman
