Blind Item #8
Our favorite closeted actor is in the desert and enjoying all that hit show Emmy type buzz by feasting on a variety of guys and pushed the beard to the background. He didn't think anyone recognized him coming out of that villa at the Hyatt in Indian Wells making out with another guy.
Darren Criss of course
ReplyDeleteI think ASkars is our favorite closeted actor, according To Enty not mine though.
ReplyDeleteDarren Criss, for sure. Emmy buzz being for the Versace show.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't appear as if ASkars is there this year, so we have a new favorite closeted actor in Darren Criss. Thanks for telling me this Entwerd.
ReplyDeletelol of course darren criss
ReplyDeleteanybody who thinks he's straight is clueless
same for ansel elgort & his bottom-buddy tim chalamet
ReplyDeleteI don't like any of these new guys: Chalamet, Elgort, the Han Solo guy, Theo James, Teller, Hedges...none of them really look like future star leading men.
ReplyDeleteThe women are way ahead of yhem in talent and potential.
Real vacuum for a talented male actor to step into - one who isn't gay (nttiawwt) or tainted as a rapist or a drug addict or some combination of those.
The young guys suck right now.
"The young guys suck right now."
DeleteThat's the way Arnon Milchan likes it!
*rimshot*
@ Geeljire Ha!! Freudian slip.
ReplyDeleteTheo James is actually a really cool guy and a good actor. Isn't in the closet, either. Sadly though I don't see him making it to leading man in Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteThe music festival def sounds like catnip for Darren Criss. But I still don’t get it.
ReplyDeleteNobody seems to be able to answer why the heck Darren Criss would have been in the closet since he was an undergrad at UofM whose only claim to fame was as Harry Potter in a YouTube musical. Because that’s when he and Mia Swier started their relationship.
The other part that doesn’t make sense re:closet is that he was willing to go to the mat for staying in the closet while trying to make it in Hollywood, but he wasn’t willing to cut his hair and clean up his look until he reached the broke and desperate stage?
The closet seems a lot more extreme than a haircut when it comes to image... and his choice of roles is about as queer as one can get whether as Hedwig or Blaine or the new Versace movie.
I’m not saying I can’t believe Darren would be gay or bisexual. I’m just saying I’m still baffled by why he’d bother to hide it, especially with his whole “raised in SF by drag queens” narrative.
I really would appreciate it if anyone here can explain the gay!Darren thought process vis a vis all that. ^^^^
My sister’s boyfriend is in the closet. He’s not famous. Just has a religious mother that would be horrified if he came out. He’s very obviously gay, and in the nine years he’s been with my sister, they’ve only had sex a handful of times. Bearding happens even in the real world.
DeletePlease tell us more about this. Sounds fascinating.
Delete@Jeannie I know. My best friend and I bearded for each other in High School for similar family reasons. (But no sex. Ech.)
DeleteDarren Criss comes from a famously liberal upbringing and spent his formative years in San Francisco around lots of out queer people and assorted drag queens.
Pretty sure that situation doesn’t apply in his case. Just sayin’.
Theo James could be super bankable. He is great looking.
ReplyDeleteThat closet has glass doors.
ReplyDeleteDarren wants to continue the Versace buzz, this would be it. Don't know who the other guy is.
ReplyDeleteHan, Sean Hayes was closeted during his entire Will and Grace run. It made absolutely no sense, and I don't think anyone really thought he was straight. This could be a similar thing.
ReplyDelete@Brian If I remember correctly, Sean Hayes avoided saying anything at all.
DeleteThat’s different from the sheer amount of noise Darren across made during his Glee run about “OMG! I know! Isn’t it so weird that I’m TOTALLY HETEROSEXUAL!?!? I guess I’m just really super open minded about people and an all around cool guy.”
Feasting? Is the intern that typed this out ok? Now is not the time to utilize your English degree from northwestern.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is our favorite closeted actor. Sooooooo many.
ReplyDelete@Jeannie, I'm genuinely curious, is your sister a real, aware beard? I can't really understand why anyone would do this unless they were paid mega $$$
ReplyDeleteEven then. 9 years? Does she not want her own relationship?
@orange In the case of my friend and I, it was mutual bearding. Getting through school while we needed our families’ support was more important than a romantic relationship.*
DeleteThat was seven years or so right there.
*As I recall, he had a reasonable number of casual hook ups.
