I thought he was out already, but I'm probably thinking of someone else.

The weird thing is with actors like Luke Evans who are "back in the closet" is; is it really going to damage their credibility as an actor or whatever?

Does it really affect that much (in this day and age, maybe I can understand it 30 years ago perhaps)

My nan seems to think alot of her stars during the Hollywood golden age were closeted. A few she had mentioned were Barbara Stanwyk, Tyrone Power and James Dean

Unusually for this thread 2 out of three of those were confirmed as gay or bi.

Well alright then, was it Stanwyk and dean?

Yes it was.

Okay cool. My nan did say a bunch more but I think she was going a little overboard without any solid evidence. She was just like "gay" gay" "half gay" whilst pointing them out this movie star book she has

Congrats on being the first person I have ever seen to post the name of someone who was known to be gay on this vacuous thread. Most people just pluck names out of a hat.

Definately, he was such close 'friends' with Freddie Murcury he was beside Freddie's bedside when he passed away, he couldn't have been so close to him if at least they didn't share the common bond of being gay even if they weren't actualy ever lovers.

Well the thread is 'closet gay' not well known gay.

Barbara Stanwyck: No-one knows for sure that Stanwyck was bisexual, and as she is not alive, people are able to make up anything they want about her.

Dave Clark denies he is gay so saying "definately" doesnt validate your case

Yes, in the very same interview he also insists he hasn't had any plastic surgery or botox/fillers, his face tells a very different story.

Little Richard was closeted as was Gilbert O'Sullivan, Labi Siffre and Johnny Mathis in the music world. Agnes Moorehead who played Endora in Bewitched was a lesbian.

Why do you think these are gay? Why so sure about the one in bold?

Really?
News to me.. tell me more
I thought he'd been married since 80 with two kids

He has been married nearly 35 years to the same woman.How do these ridiculous rumours start?

Taylor Kitsch

Sean Pyfrom

Will Estes

I always misread this as "Sean Payton", who is an American Football coach.

He's been on my watch list for a while. Some of the hairstyles he's sported were way out there for a straight guy and Louboutin shoes? I think he's very metrosexual if anything.

I always thought Chris Dean was gay.

I geniunely hadnt heard them.

Who are the main current crop of hollywood hunks who have persistent rumours about them apart from Kellan Lutz?

Bradley Cooper
Jeremy Renner
Taylor Lautner
Taylor Kitsch
Dave Franco
Colton Haynes
Anton Yelchin
Brenton Thwaites
Chace Crawford
Josh Hutcherson

There's more too, i'm sure.

I'm pretty sure Luke Evans is with a partner right now? Though was having some kind of thing with a woman for a brief while

wouldn't it be wonderful if it didn't matter at all?

that is the kind of message young actors like Josh Hutcherson are trying to say, that sexuality shouldn't make any difference at all to who you are as an actor. I don't actually think he is gay or bi, at the moment, but he has said it shouldn't matter if at some point in the future he did fall in love with a man! and he is quite happy to champion gay rights, as 2 of his uncles died from Aids related diseases before he was born.

However I have a feeling it matters more in some countries than others, maybe its easy to forget that being homosexual is still illegal in some parts of the world, and amongst some religious groups?

I also wonder whether a lot of people at some point in their lives do have some kind of sexual confusion or want to experiment, and even though there are some single sex families, perhaps if a guy or girl wants children, they might get married temporarily, or even permanently. So I do think peoples sexual preferences might change
