What celebrity would you least expect to be gay?

[begin_within]

It seems like all the rage now, every day someone else "comes out," usually it's not that big of a surprise. What celebrity - or any famous person - would give you the biggest surprise of your life, if they suddenly announced they are gay? Someone who you never, ever would have thought they are? The most un-gay famous person you can possibly think of?

[Bassic]

1. Harrison Ford.

No idea why.

[WeRQ4U]

2. Paul Senior from Orange County Choppers

No way he's gay.

[Demoiselle]

3. Charles Bronson. (Is he still alive, by the way?) eom

[regnaD kciN]

10. No...

I believe he died in the past couple of years.

He used to live down the block from us in L.A. before he became famous.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

27. how did i miss that?

wow. RIP Charles.

And he was in his 80's!!! wtf?!!??

[begin_within]

11. Born November 3, 1921 – Died August 30, 2003

[gemdem]

14. He passed over the rainbow in August 2003 n/t

[Fuzz]

4. Mr. T. I pity the fool!

[datasuspect]

83. i worked with a lady who dated mr. t

evidently mr. t is somewhat of a sexually omnivorous freak.

this forum too clean to go into details.

[cautiouslywaiting]

5. Um...

I'm gonna say Johnny Depp.

[smirkymonkey]

48. Really? That wouldn't shock me at all.

My pick would be Liam Neeson or Daniel Craig.

[readmoreoften]

68. I agree, because he is really open about his life and totally progressive.

He's got a woman and kids. If JD was gay, he'd just be gay. I wouldn't be surprised if he was bisexual, though.

That being said, GD is the biggest exception-maker that ever lived. Every person I've ever asked has said, "Yeah, sure I'd fuck Johnny Depp. Why not?" Straight male, lesbian, you name it. The only people I've found that don't find JD hot are gay bears: they like big hairy guys. One can see the lack of appeal JD would hold.

[flvegan]

6. Deniro, Pacino, Tom Jane, Jon Bon Jovi, Tommy Lee, Mike Tyson

Any one of them would be big news to me.

[Dem_4_Life]

46. I agree on all of these. nt

[Kire]

73. Have you ever seen Pacino in Cruising?

A police detective (Pacino) goes undercover in the sleazy and underground gay subculture of New York City to catch a serial killer who is murdering numerous gay men with S&M tactics.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080569/

Lots and lots of Leather.

[LoveMyCali]

7. George Clooney

He has the whole ladies man, next Cary Grant image going but then again I suppose Rock Hudson did too so who knows.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

8. I would sob if Clooney played for the other team.

:cry::cry:

:D

[CTyankee]

88. Me too. He makes me tingle.

I'm too old for him but if I were younger, I'd be on his case...

[smirkymonkey]

49. Wasn't Cary Grant gay?

Or Bi? I could be wrong, but I thought he was.

[Left Is Write]

56. He was married five times...

of course, that proves nothing.

I have never even heard a single gay rumor about him, though.

[acmavm]

58. I read once where he swung both ways. Supposedly so did Tyrone

Power.

[cmkramer]

61. There were rumors about him and Randolph Scott

They lived together in Hollywood and there were fan magazine articles about them that showed them doing the dishes, clowning around in their swimming pool, etc. But that's the only man I've ever heard that he was rumored to be linked to.

[smirkymonkey]

84. I think he was bi-sexaul. Found this on Wikipedia

"Grant's personal life was complicated, involving five marriages and speculation about his sexuality. In 1932 he met fellow actor Randolph Scott on the set of Hot Saturday, and the two shared a rented beach house (known as "Bachelor Hall") on and off for twelve years. Rumors ran rampant at the time that Grant and Scott were lovers.

Authors Marc Elliot, Charles Higham and Roy Moseley consider Grant to have been bisexual, with Higham and Moseley claiming that Grant and Scott were seen kissing in a public carpark outside a social function both attended in the 1960s. In his book, Hollywood Gays, Boze Hadleigh cites an interview with homosexual director George Cukor, who said about the alleged homosexual relationship between Scott and Grant: "Oh, Cary won't talk about it. At most, he'll say they did some wonderful pictures together. But Randolph will admit it – to a friend."

According to screenwriter Arthur Laurents, Grant was "at best bisexual". William J. Mann's book Behind the Screen: How Gays and Lesbians Shaped Hollywood, 1910-1969 recounts how photographer Jerome Zerbe spent "three gay months" (his words) in the movie colony taking many photographs of Grant and Scott, "attesting to their involvement in the gay scene." Zerbe says that he often stayed with the two actors, "finding them both warm, charming, and happy." In addition, Darwin Porter's book, Brando Unzipped (2006) claims that Grant had a homosexual affair with Marlon Brando.

Many writers seem to have no doubt about the actor's bisexuality; Grant, however, did not identify himself as such. He had many gay friends, including Cukor, William Haines, and Australian artist and costume designer Orry-Kelly, but he is not alleged to have had relationships with them. When Chevy Chase joked about Grant being gay in a television interview with Tom Snyder in 1980 ("Oh, what a gal!") Grant sued him and they settled out of court. Grant also complained to writer/director Peter Bogdanovich about the Chevy Chase incident, emphatically insisting that he was not gay, and that while he had nothing against homosexuals, he was simply not one himself (this exchange is cited at length in the chapter on Grant in Bogdanovich's 2005 book Who the Hell's in It?). Grant thought of the cottage industry of writers imagining him to be gay as merely a media echo chamber of falsehood. Also, it should be noted Grant had numerous heterosexual relationships throughout his life, marrying several times, and during the filming of The Pride and the Passion, he and Sophia Loren engaged in a passionate love affair during which he begged her to marry him. She ultimately decided on Carlo Ponti."

[regnaD kciN]

9. Ahnuld...

:rofl:

[begin_within]

13. But there have been rumors of him hanging around gay guys before.

[LeftyMom]

16. Didn't he do a photo shoot for a gay skin mag? nt

[flvegan]

20. Yeah, but to be honest, offer me enough coin, and I would too.

Nobody would BUY a copy, but I'd do it.

[LeftyMom]

21. Nobody?

Hey, I can think of a few who'd get a copy just on DU.

[xchrom]

62. oh yes they would.

[begin_within]

22. Yes, and some embarrasingly campy "sailor" photos too.

[LeftyMom]

12. Well, we can safely assume anybody on my list is a flaming 'mo.

My gaydar blows.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. ...

:spray:

Yes, it does.

[LeftyMom]

17. For real.

I'm trying to get it serviced, but I can't seem to find gaydar in the yellow pages. Mom says it's under interior design, but I'm not convinced.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. Either you have it or you don't.

You don't.

[flvegan]

19. I hope it doesn't malfunction both ways. If gay is straight, and straight is gay...

then I might be...

[LeftyMom]

23. Sorry dear,

you still can't be a lesbian. :eyes:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. Nah, I think you're safely straight.

You get too "happy" at the thought of LeftyMom & I to be gay.

[flvegan]

25. I'm just

a lesbian looking for visual stimulation. Is that so bad?

Not buying this, are you?

Dammit. Again.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. It's so amusing when you try, though.

And I know you have a good heart, even if your mind is dirtier than a...

Well, I'm probably not allowed to say that on DU.

[LeftyMom]

28. What makes you think he's dirty minded?

Oh, I guess the fact that he's involved with me is a bit of a giveaway. :shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

29. Well that and the three of us have had enough threads together...

:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

30. Shhh, don't say that phrase!

plausible deniability- not just for republicans anymore!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

32. What phrase?

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

[flvegan]

31. I'M completely innocent, thankyouverymuch.

You two are the naughty ones.

(oh, so naughty)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

33. Uh-uh. Sure...

:eyes:

[LeftyMom]

35. You are innocence personified, love.

:rofl:

[billyskank]

44. In fact all it takes to make a homosexual

is for LeftyMom to assume they are a het. :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

47. Or vice versa.

Do not get me started on the number of people I thought were gay who aren't. I think they could fill a small sports arena.

[lildreamer316]

82. AND for me to date them...(before current man,that is)

Ok, I'm gonna come clean here.
Of the last 4 men I've been with, the first one I was with 8 years.
He slept with men behind my back. Then not. Then women. Then not. Now, he's dead. (it's ok,he would appreciate the humour)
Second, is an in-the closet Marine. That took longer to get ready than I did. Friend of first guy. Now I wonder.
Third was definately bi; now lives in SF.
Fourth: my loving straight husband, who used to be a gay porn star. Really. (SHHHHHh!)YES, he is definately straight.

My gaydar sucks too.

[Jamastiene]

34. Honestly, I can't think of anyone surprising me at this point.

It's just not something you can really guage. You can guess. You can get a feeling that someone is gay, but you can't ever really know until they say for sure. That's why I don't assume someone is or is not gay. I can guess, like I said, but you just never know, now do you?

[Floogeldy]

36. Liberace, Rock Hudson, Jim Nabors, Raymond Burr, Nathan Lane, George Michael, Tab Hunter, Rosie O'Do

[Deja Q]

41. No, he said 'least likely' -- and you forgot Vincent Price and Paul Lynde

:rofl:

[readmoreoften]

69. Although good ol' Vincent Price was straight from what I understand.

I had a friend who would practically cry if you suggested otherwise.

[mitchum]

85. and Henry Rollins

[terrya]

37. Tom Cruise

[BreweryYardRat]

38. The Rock.

[billyskank]

52. Dude that guy is SO gay

I'm 99% sure of it. :D

[Left Is Write]

57. I've always thought the Rock looked like...

a pumped up version of Rob Schneider.

[mondo joe]

39. Richard Simmons

[Cannikin]

40. Colin Ferrell. Boy but I wish he was!

[begin_within]

53. I read in some interview with him that he used to hang out in gay bars in

Dublin. I can't remember where I read this though. I'm sure they guys there were all over him. Considering his promiscuous reputation now, it wouldn't be surprised at all if he had spent some time on that side of the fence back then.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

54. That means nothing. I have open-minded straight friends that hang out in gay bars

because they have gay friends. He's also an actor, which means it's likely he has a lot of gay friends.

Good looking straight guys can go into straight bars without having guys all over them.

Also, promiscuity does not equal bisexuality.

[xchrom]

64. dude -- that dirty boy is hittin it with everybody.

and more power to him.

[swimboy]

80. Mmmm-hmmm!

[sarge43]

42. Elizabeth Taylor n/t

[Tikki]

43. Nick Nolte..........n/t

[Dem_4_Life]

45. Tom Hanks nt

[Indy_Dem_Defender]

50. Gene Simmons

if he came out I'd say the guy went to extreme lengths to hide the fact over the past 30 years.

[LeftyMom]

51. I wouldn't be shocked at all if he were bi though.

But yeah, he definitely seems to enjoy the company of women.

[Left Is Write]

59. I would be very shocked if Gene were bi.

I would not, however, be shocked to find out Paul Stanley is bi, and there have been rumors of such going around for about 30 years.

[davidinalameda]

75. I saw a special on Kiss the other day and my gaydar went off bigger than crap

when they were interviewing Paul Stanley

they were talking about everyone having sex with everyone during their hey day so I wouldn't be surprised if he sampled a few of the male groupies

[LNM]

55. Paul Newman

He's been married, what, 40 years to the same woman?

[doc03]

60. David Allen Coe

[readmoreoften]

70. that's a fucking hilarious addition. /nt

[doc03]

90. Why? Because he is not a

big enough celebrity or is he really gay? If you have ever seen or heard one of his concerts at the biker rallies homosexual bashing is what he does.

[WCGreen]

63. Those guys from Queer Eye....

They are so not gay....

[American Jesus]

76. No, they're crab people!

The Crab People are evidently evil beings, given that their appearance is emphasized by the lyrics to their ominous leitmotif: "Crab people, crab people, taste like crab, talk like people."

They are a species of what appears to be mutant crab. They are crabs that stand about four feet tall and speak English. They have appeared or been mentioned in the South Park episodes "South Park is Gay!", "Quest for Ratings" and "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow."

Plan for world domination

Crab people want domination of the world, but are too weak and small to destroy or take down man by force. So the crab people created an ingenious way to take down man: turn all men into metrosexuals. As one crab person said, "If you can't beat man, change man". By changing men into metrosexuals, man would be too weak and "gay" to beat the crab people. They went about achieving this goal by dressing up as the five men from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

[JVS]

65. That Mother Angelica lady from Catholic TV

[JVS]

66. Paul Harvey

[graywarrior]

67. Josh Holloway.

But even if he were, he's still HOT.

[NMMNG]

71. You seem obsessed with gay people

Any particular reason?

[Kire]

74. Good question

Am I the only one bothered by all of this schadenfraude (or however you spell it) about the Haggard thing?

[NMMNG]

77. No, you aren't

Many of us are. We're bothered by this entire rampage on the gays mess.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

78. You're not alone. MANY of us are.

It's sickening overall.

[American Jesus]

72. Hugh Hefner

If that man is gay, then he's the best actor on the fucking planet.

[khashka]

79. Bruce Willis, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, William Macey

But if any hinted they might be interested... I'd be the the first boy on their doorstep.


Portia de Rossi kinda shocked me.....


Khash.

[DaleK2]

81. Reply

Ted Nugent. If he even had a HINT that he might be gay, he probably would have shot himself repeatedly by now.

[mitchum]

86. Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill of ZZTOP...but THEY ARE!

swear to god

[speedoo]

91. No shit!!??

That's a surprise. All their music is focused on women.

Example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGuzKtUBORQ

[American Jesus]

92. So you're saying that Dusty and the Reverend Billy G. do the Tube Snake Boogie....

...with each other??? Now that's a new one:spray:

[mvd]

87. I really don't know

I would have to know them personally. Unless I have reason to think someone is gay, I think of them as straight - nothing against gay people - it's just what the chances are.

[speedoo]

89. I'm surprised no one's mentioned this guy...

Making me re-evaluate my gaydar!
