Zac Efron currently is an enslaved pass-around yacht boy

All of them.

r6/r7 You're oddly desperate for attention.

R7 : Tom Hardy?

I'm sure Channing Tatum hustled on the side when he was stripping.

Jon Hamm was a waiter. I worked with him at a restaurant in St. Louis.

Brad Pitt...Houseboy or stud?

Come on, Brad! Houseboy or stud?!

Kelly Ripa husband-Mark Consuelos was a stripper in Tampa??

Stripper, peep shows, wealthy older mens, gloryholes.

Poor James Dean was actually blackmailed by his sugar daddy

John Wilkes Booth

Lee Majors was "discovered" by Rock Hudson

Every young male attractive actor on a Ryan Murphy production.

Al Pacino

Colin Farrell was brought to the U.S. by Kevin Spacey.

Make of that what you will.

R32: Not me.

Groucho Marx kept Bud Cort (of Harold and Maude fame)

Sexy!

[quote]From what I have read pertaining to Groucho Marx, there seems to be nothing about him that says that he wasn't a heterosexual; but regarding Bud Cort, it's harder to say. Early on in his career, he was linked to Olivia Hussey and Carol Lynley, and said that he had a romance with Patti D'Arbanville and that, if it had worked out, he would have married her. He also said that he used to fall in love with his leading ladies. (Yes, I am sure that in his eccentric way, like Harold Chasen, he'd find an elderly woman like Ruth Gordon attractiveand he did. Bud even tried to ask out Ruby Keeler because he liked her little feet after watching her dance in "No, No, Nanette", but she declined).

Keanu Reeves

THREAD CLOSED

I don't know what you're talking about.

R34, and given an early role by Joel Schumacher

Jeff Davis (of Teen Wolf fame) apparently runs a casting couch for all the twinks on his shows

Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel, and Lee Majors.

Keanu Reeves

r42 Twunks, surely?

Gary Cooper

Antonio Sabato

Miles O'Keeffe

I cannot believe no one has mentioned Tony Danza. The toast of 53rd and 3rd!

Ross Matthews, I guess he found the one in a million!

I’m not an actor so keep my name out ya damn mouths

All of the pretty ones.

Finn Wittrock

Baio was passed around.

Finn Wittrock? Was he an escort?

Robert Wagner was a Henry Willson boy and was "mentored" by Clifton Webb

Keep my fat ass outa yo fuckin' mouth.

"Colin Farrell was brought to the U.S. by Kevin Spacey"

So was Covid!

Usher was kept by Diddy

Arnold Stang

Doesn't get much better than having a young Brad Pitt as your houseboy!

David Soul admitted he worked Hollywood Blvd. Get a blow job, get a meal. It's a win-win.

David Soul was a streetwalker?!!!

Pedro Pascale was a go-go dancer as a young man.

Pedro Pascal second from left in the green shirt

I imagine it must have been way easier to access a top producer or industry insider by meeting them for sex. And i guess some of these big guns took a shine to the boy and helped them out.

M Emmet Walsh

Rupert Everett has discussed turning tricks for cash and drugs in his younger days,

r65 that was allegedly how Tom Cruise broke into the business. He was an escort.

There were rumors that Cruise got the role in Risky Business after a "private audition" with David Geffen

Any young male actors in any Jeff Davis or Ryan Murphy production -

Froy Gutierrez

Andrew Matarazzo

Colton Haynes

Nico Greetham

Rainer Dawn

Tyler Lawrence Gray

Zack Nelson

Chase Liefield

And a lot of the now older guys from the old CW shows - Matt Lanter, Trevor Donovan, Chase Crawford, etc...

Prostitution is when you actively sell yourself to men for money and do it regularly because it is your main source of funds. Most of these guys strategically have sex with higher ups to get ahead which happens in law, banking, and politics. Ask Lindsey Graham and he will tell you of all the dick he sucked to make it to the US Senate.

[quote]Rainer Dawn

That name can't be real.

Clint Eastwood was supposedly a kept boy once

Thomas Jane has admitted he was a male prostitute

Al Pacino admitted he was but said he only turned tricks for women (a likely story)

Tom Cruise would sue me if I said he was a male prostitute before he hit it big, so I would never say that

Clint was kept by director Arthur Lubin

A young Tom Cruise wouldnt have been that popular a call boy . He was bland looking when he was young.

If I had a fortune I would have given a hell of a lot of money to get my hands on Clint.

Clint looks like a mean fuck too R76 . One of those that just takes what he wants no matter how bad it hurts you .

David Dastmalchian was a homeless heroin addict so more than likely.

[quote] Jon Hamm claims he was a Waiter for years. You know he never was.

As much as I wish it were true Jon is just so relentlessly straight - I can't see him being kept or an escort.

Maybe he'd let some straight guy get his hands on that huge hog but that would be about the extent of it.

[quote] Ask Lindsey Graham and he will tell you of all the dick he sucked to make it to the US Senate.

Liah! A lady never tells

Chuck Norris was known as Butt Fuck Chuck before he hit it big.

R30 I saw that one ! It sure as shit did look like him .

I think we can agree that a young Lee Majors would have had no problem finding a sugar daddy...

[Quote] David Dastmalchian was a homeless heroin addict so more than likely.

So true — as a finance attorney I know many high income men, and each affluent gay man has a homeless heroin addict in his home.

Spencer Tracy also "mentored" Robert Wagner...

R83, I tapped that!

Lee and Rock at the country cookout.

That Cooper Koch is an obvious whore.

Did Ryan Murphy tap Cooper Koch?

Cooper Koch 😂

I had a colleague at a Wall Street law firm who was Jewish and she always got a kick out of the Jewish babies being given ultra-WASPy names. We sound out a colleague had named his son Squire. She couldn’t stop laughing and I caught it from her. “SQUIRE WEINSTEIN” she kept saying, virtually rolling on the floor. (I changed the last name to avoid embarrassing the poor kid.)

Her own daughters were named Sarah and Rebecca. They were reform, but very culturally Jewish.

^^^ found out

R13 Thomas has admitted it publicly

I wonder if any of these male prostitutes were named

FRED GARVIN

Tom Cruise was too short with acne and a fat ass to be a street hustler, but probably got it on with Paul Newman and others who could advance his career.

Isn’t Brad Pitt straight and weren’t his parents middle class? Is it possible he was legitimately a live-in who was there to be a presence, accept packages, and deal with the landscapers?

Plenty of desperate straight actors have been willing to do whatever it takes to make it in the business

And his family wasn't filthy rich, I doubt they were supporting him well into adulthood

Val Kilmer

Zak Efron was a pass around bottom bitch.

Colin Morgan said Kevin Spacey helped him in his career...

Kevin Spacey used to help young actors by sharing his hotel room with them, which they were too broke to afford.

Such a saint.

Before this actor hit it big and became A list, he earned his living by sleeping with the rich and powerful in Hollywood. He was also a guy who you could rough up during sex. He was in demand because of that and in his later years suffered the after effects of the horrible injuries he had sustained. He also lost most of his teeth from being punched so frequently during sex. When he got to be A list he got his revenge against his former tricks as often as possible. He used his star status to remove them from jobs or get them thrown out of town with a carefully whispered tip to the gossip columnists. One of the men who he hated the most was an A list director. He refused to work with him. Well, at one point they were assigned to work together for a film that turned out to be massive. Our actor started trash talking the director every day and did everything he could to make the director look bad. Finally, the studio caved and hired the actor's best friend as the director and they made history together.

Clark Gable

George Cukor ---hated director

Victor Fleming ---Gable friend who replaced Cukor as director of "Gone With The Wind"

The most difficult thing to believe- Dan Ackroyd was only 27 years old when he played this character. He looks like he could be in his 40's.

I bet Brad Pitt accepted a lot of packages!

R101 Yes, Enty stole that bit of ancient gossip from a recent thread on Data Lounge. Enty, or a minion, obviously lurks here to steal shit.

[quote]The most difficult thing to believe- Dan Ackroyd was only 27 years old when he played this character. He looks like he could be in his 40's.

OK, but how old was Dan AYKROYD?

Eat shit r105. People like you are so tedious and common.

James Cagney and Audie Murphy. That was a shock!😳

I'm not sure if the late husband of Lizzy Taylor is the 'author' of these remarks, but, if he is, he should get a medal! I quote: (RICHARD BURTON)" OF COURSE i'M GAY, I'M AN ACTOR AND ALL ACTORS ARE GAY!"

R107 - what's this? Details, please!

[Quote] OK, but how old was Dan AYKROYD?

Is that really how his name is spelled? How absurd.

EY - k - royd

I’m changing his spelling to Ackroyd, and if he doesn’t like it, he can meet me in the parking lot.

there is still an actor who admitted he was a hustler in his younger days...not mentioned here. I can't recall his name but he's been in many films and even I think showtime series.

r111, that's Thomas Jane.

Where’s the interview where Mr. Jane acknowledged this?

I’m very curious!

r113, if only there would some sort of system of tubes that could possibly answer such a question for you!

Chuck Connors was friends with my dad, then he had his aborted baseball career before acting. I never heard anything gay or sketchy.

Nope nothing sketchy here

[quote]R114 if only there would some sort of system of tubes that could possibly answer such a question for you!

I looked on YouTube for “Thomas Jane Hooker,” and no hits : (

"hooker"???

Are you posting from a1970s cop show?

I believe Thomas the Tank Engine was a kept train, widely considered to be the “toy” of Topham Hatt. (Well, there were whispers.)

So Topham was the top?

It's called "networking."

Thomas Jane: A girl's gotta eat.

[italic]prostitution whore!

[Quote] So Topham was the top?

His original name was Steve. He changed his name because he wanted everyone to top him.

Bobby Cannavale

Thomas Jane is the only actor I know of who had the balls to come out and admit he had been a male prostitute in Hollywood before he was famous. He had sex with males too he said.
