Can Hollywood "cure" gayness?

Luke Evans
Luke Evans


The Advocate, September 3, 2002

The Advocate: How did you decide you were going to be open about your sexuality?

Luke Evans: Well it was something I'd spoken to a lot of people about, including my boyfriend at the time - we've broken up now - but at the time when I just got Taboo, I knew that even though my part was a straight character, everybody knew me as a gay man and, in my life in London, I never tried to hide it. I knew I was going to have to do interviews with gay magazines, so I thought, ‘Well, I’m going to have to be open’. It’s who I am. And if people don’t like it, then I don’t want their jobs. I've never been a very good liar, which is another thing...

The Advocate: Aren't actors all good liars?

Luke Evans: Well, it's not nice. Look at George Michael, let's say. I mean, he hid it for so many years, and then he gets found out in a really awful way... Y'know, you start a slippery slope downward, and I don't want to start that at 22. If that means I'm going to be a poor man at 60, then at least I've lived a happy, open, gay life and not had to hide from anybody.

The Advocate: Do you think it might be different in the UK than in America?

Luke Evans: Well, it depends on how big you are. It's not a big issue, and it's never going to be a big issue for me; whether I'm successful or if I weren't successful, at least I'll never have that skeleton in the closet they can rattle out. Y'know what I mean?


Eight years later...


Wales On Sunday, September 19 2010

RISING actor Luke Evans is rapidly gaining star status after landing yet another major Hollywood role and romancing Charlotte Church’s ex – ex-PA, that is.

Fresh from playing breastplate-baring Zeus in Immortals and Apollo in Clash Of The Titans, 31-year-old Evans is sword fighting once again in a re-make of The Three Musketeers.

And Evans, from Aberbargoed, is described as “top farmer totty” for his role in Brit-com Tamara Drewe, has a special reason to be careful with his blade now he is dating stunning fashion industry marketing expert Holly Goodchild.

Miss Goodchild, 27, former personal assistant to Welsh singing superstar Church, said at the Tamara Drewe movie premiere: “Luke’s lovely – we’re really old friends and it just sort of happened.”

She added: “We are nowhere near engaged but things are really good.”

You still haven't answered. Now THAT's unfuckingbelievable. Talk about avoiding the question!

Can't be sure if you're playing stupid or if you are stupid, so I'll try again.

Jake was out in the city during Sunday.
That means that Austin wasn't in NYC.
Because if Austin was in NYC Jake would stay at home with his "husband and kids".
Because that's what parents and husbands do, especially when they can't be together as a family and as a couple for weeks or months.
Clear enough?

I believe Austin qualifies as a white cool dude.

Why would Jake and Austin risk being seen / photographed in public?

No I am not 12:38. He would be under the radar unlike NY. And as long as he isn't seen hanging around the OTH set or any of the places in Wilmington where the cast is known to hang, no one would hear a peep. Austin must have a place there.

He can afford to fly there from NY, even on a private jet.

Why is it always Austin dropping everything and running everywhere Jake is in the Loons fanfic? Is it because Jake is the bigger "star".

Come on, can the kids always be with nannies, grandparents, cousins, babysitters, etc? That's no way to raise children. You have them because you want them, not because they are an accessory to life, and they come first, so that means making sacrifices. Somebody, somewhere would notice them, especially a large brood. :(

I thought the nanny was watching the kids so Austin wouldn't have to hide them in NC.

Jake is tweeted 24/7 it seems when he is in NY no matter how many millions of people are there, he stands out everywhere he goes, Manhattan, Brooklyn.

Also are they making babies with the same woman/donor so the kids will look like mommy and daddies or do they just pick random women.

If it's the same woman than she has made a lot of $$$$ being the egg carrier. They should have just adopted like Matt Bomer and his partner.

See, now that some people are getting very nervous, including the ever naive OTH fangirls, it's not enough to have interesting absences or quiet to cause unsettlement.

Now the stakes get raised for proof to settle their nerves.

Austin and Jake both being on the East Coast is proving to be too much for some people to handle.

If they have four, it's highly unlikely the surrogate mother is the same. But the eggs come be coming from the same woman. Having four children in as quick succession as Jake & Austin is too hard on the body for it to be the same carrier.

I don't even get what you're saying with your inaccurate assertion that there is no biological tie between Matt Bomer, his partner, and the children.

Simon was single when he had his three children. Matt is now wearing a wedding ring and has stated that he has children, so the assumption is that yes, he adopted them, or at the least is stepfather to them.

But why does any of that matter?

Also don't know why you'd think Austin would just hang out in NC on weekends when all his family and friends are elsewhere. Tons of stars fly home on the weekend when they film in a different location.

Sean Maher didn't hide his children:

Having a family is what ultimately what made Maher want to be honest about his sexuality. “I have these beautiful children and this extraordinary family,” Maher says, “and to think in any way shape or form that that’s wrong or that there’s shame in that or that there’s something to hide actually turns my stomach.” Maher kept thinking about what daughter Sophia would say when she realized he was closeted professionally. “What would she think if I said, ‘Oh honey, you can’t come with me to work because they don’t know I have an adopted daughter and they don’t know that I’m gay.’ My children and our family, I’ve really never been as proud of anything in my life. I couldn’t be happier at this point in my life, and I feel like we’ve created this pretty extraordinary family.”

Jake said...

No, if it were Henry, they would have tweeted the stunningly gorgeous white guy.

destiny said...

Sean hid his children from the people he worked with. He said he spent 14 years in the closet, and that the only people he really socialized with were his friends from college, who knew him when he was still out. He said having two separate lives was tearing him apart.

But being in the closet tormented Maher. “It was so exhausting, and I was so miserable,” Maher says. “I didn’t really have any life other than work and this façade I was putting on. So I kept my friends from college [where he was out] separate from my work friends, and that was very confusing. I just kept going on and on painting this picture of somebody I wasn’t."

And did you not read the quote you put up 3:42, the part about how he was afraid of what his daughter would think if he had to tell her she couldn't come to work with him because he was in the closet, i.e, no one could know about her?

His oldest child is 4 years old, and he has just now come out professionally. He was clearly hiding the fact he had children from everyone but his closest friends and family, for the first four years of his daughter's life.

I'm not making anything up, you are. People can read the article, and it makes it plain as day that Sean was hiding who he was for 14 years. Most people adopt children when they are infants, so it is a safe bet that he adopted Sophia when she was very young, and not when she was 4 years old. It's also entirely possible that his partner had the child with a surrogate, and that Sean then adopted her.

And yes, I'm going to compare Sean to Jake, because it shows that people can hide a child if they want to. No he's not well known, but he clearly went out of his way to make sure, with the few exceptions mentioned in the article, to not tell anyone he worked with, or the public, about his sexuality and his children.

You skipped adopted part in your first comment - that was pathetic attempt to spin the story.

Anonymous said...

We know it's possible, but just because you can find examples of that doesn't mean Jake is doing it. Time after time, we see and read that it's the decision to have a child that makes a man come out about his sexuality and family situation. It sounds to me like the family is a recent thing - he couldn't hide his daughter for four years and then suddenly say it turns his stomach to lie to her?

You can hide kids for years and years, that was never the point (as you know) - it is easy to find a house with big basement.
The point is that only deranged persons abuse kids like that.

How many times we need to repeat the OBVIOUS: in Jake's case we are talkink about "parent" who wouldn't be able to take his "kids" to park or zoo or school or shop. For as long as he's in the closet.

And Jake's "kids" would never go out with Ramona or other close family.

4:58, that's why it would be terribly poor judgement on his part to have children. Anything's possible of course, but I'm pretty skeptical. Add that to the fact that the only gossip person who even insinuated the whole thing is Ted, and that other guy who backtracked.

It takes forever and a day to adopt also, especially from a foreign country. I know women who have been tearful about the process and the length of time it takes.

destiny said...

I think if he'd recently adopted her he would have said so, e.g., we just adopted children, and I can't see lying to them.

It's possible that his coming out now has something to do with his daughter's age. I think it is easier to keep very young kids at home, not take them to work, Disneyland, no school yet to take them to, too young to really think about what exactly it is a parent does for work, etc.

People are taking small kids with them to work? Since when?

Sean Maher was in the closet at work - I'm sure he and his husband didn't hide their kids in the house, I don't see any reason for that.

destiny said...

It's true that we don't have many facts about Sean and his kids, but my assumptions are as valid as the person who thinks he's only had his two kids a few months. But it would be kind of unusual that they'd adopt two kids at the same time, everyone else I know who has adopted kids waited a few years to get another child--another reason I don't think it just happened.

Yes, Sean was in the closet at work, just as Jake is in the closet at work. Sean made it clear in the interview he was out to old friends, so yes he was out in his own house (whatever that means), but he also said that he didn't become friends with people at work because he kept his two lives very separate.

I'm also sure that Jake is also out to those closest to him, and that if there is a BT, Jake's family and close friends, like Busy, would know about the child, even if he is keeping his work colleagues and the public in the dark.

destiny said...

People in HW are not normal. If they were you wouldn't have all those people bearding in this day and age.

You wouldn't have people leaving their children for weeks and months on end to make films, and rarely seeing them, the way Jeff Daniels has talked about doing and regretting.

I've also known plenty of kids that got shipped off to boarding school at a young age, and who only came home for the holidays and a few weeks during the summer.

You can chose to believe that there is no BT, but to say no "normal" person would do something like Jake is doing is to not understand reality, something that posters on OMG are always accused of.

Having a child doesn't turn someone into a good parent.

Sorry, I don't agree. You spend so much of your time at work, it has to be rewarding too. Even by osmosis, I can't imagine working with co-workers and not hear about or talk to about myself once in awhile about things we have in common, weekend plans, kids, births, baby showers, weddings, funerals, Holiday parties, etc. etc. It must be a huge effort not to slip and talk about personal things, and to keep yourself under control all the time would be exhausting, and probably quite depressing. :(

What I meant is, even if you aren't that much of a socializer, you still absorb what's going on around you as a member of a group. If you are a social person, it must be very difficult to keep yourself in check all the time, when you'd love to take part. I think a movie set would be an even more intense experience, and you probably do work with the same people at other times.

I think that a movie set would be a place where people wouldn't waste time on idle chat + they don't have time to get to know other people well + celebrities wouldn't discuss their private life just because they have some free time.

L Word actress 'escorted off plane for lesbian kiss' said...

Leisha Hailey, who starred in the US lesbian drama The L Word, says she was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight after a row over kissing her girlfriend.

The actress and singer was with her partner on a flight between Baltimore and St Louis when the incident happened.

She tweeted yesterday: “I have been discriminated against by @SouthwestAir. Flt. attendant said that it was a ‘family’ airline and kissing was not ok. Hailey added: “We were escorted off the plane for getting upset about the issue.@SouthwestAir endorses homophobic employees. No one made her accountable.”

She has demanded a public apology and a refund from Southwest Airlines and is urging other gay people to boycott the airline. Southwest Airlines states on its website that it is the official carrier of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

A representative for the airline told TMZ.com that passengers complained that the couple’s behaviour was “excessive”.

The spokesperson added: “Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all customers on board, approached the passengers based solely on behaviour and not gender. The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight.

“We are ready to work directly with the passengers involved to offer our heartfelt apologies for falling short of their expectation.”

L Word actress 'escorted off plane for lesbian kiss'

My sister was on that flight. What she was doing was way more than just kissing. Also, her behavior during boarding was atrocious. My sis wondered if they were drunk. Playing the lesbian card to cover up your bad behavior is just sad. If you cannot behave in public you should stay home. It's that simple.

Just because someone claims that she was booted for merely kissing her girlfriend, we should all take up a crusade against an airline without knowing all of the facts? Sometimes gays are as stupid as evangelicals in automatically assuming something happened and tking immediate offense and junmping to conclusions.Let's hear all of the facts first.

You don't even need to chat one word - work is a social environment, company emails from HR and bulletin boards. Unless you work in a lead bomb shelter, you can't help but absorb some of the fallout. Even if you aren't that interested. ;)

Men chat just as much as women do, bring their families in to work, etc., have home emergencies. It's not all fashion and man candy talk, but so what if it is on occasion? I once had a male boss (gay and proudly out) who was quite the fashion plate and everybody thought so. You can't make the broad assumption that people hate their work and have nothing better to talk about.

Sorry Jersey Tom, you can trash that story because Jake and Austion don't have any children.

Read the comments over at OMG whereas PG tried and successfully I must say, pulled the GUILT card of anyone (you and Destiny) NOT believing in Jake and Austin having kids (or questioning the idea), and not agreeing with the jovial feeling she and others share of J/A hiding the kids to succeed in thier careers.

You're waiver JT and your emotions are getting the best of you.

It makes no sense to go thru the trouble of getting some woman to carry your surrogate baby months then hide the child from the world. Let's not talk about the time and effort to get it approved and the MONEY it takes.
Now some are talking about 3 and 4. Give me a break.
Logical thinking goes right out the door!

Jersey Tom stop letting your emotional strings from being pulled. If you think Jake and Austin are assholes, then say it with no regrets. But not for hiding fictional children.

Some people take the whole J/A/BT saga waayyyyyy too seriously. Only those who are so wrapped up in it would feel any semblance of "guilt". These people need to take a step back and realize that they are too emotionally involved, and this is not representative of the real world. You may feel "guilt" if your family or friends were involved, but not an actor who you do not even personally know.

Calling Dr Freud!

destiny said...

I have no idea what you're trying to say and me and Tom. I speak my mind over at OMG even though I disagree with people.

I think there is plenty of evidence of one BT, although I'd put my belief in a BT at more like 90% than 100%.

I do think it is entirely possible to hide a child, and I think someone who would beard and turn himself into tabloid fodder the way Jake did with Reese and Taylor, and making out in front of his mother in Italy, would have no problem with hiding a child. Jake would do anything to be a big A list star.

Anonymous said...

I don't agree Destiny.
Some get so upset with the presumed "bearding" thing, then this seems to motivate them to agree with the ridiculous idea of having surrogate baby(s) then hiding them while they travel the world (alone) with photos of everyone and everything else except the child that they supposedly spent so much time, energy and money to have and be apart of thier life.

Now 3 or 4 babytiles ???
Naw LMAO

Destiny, are you OK? Why do you keep posting insane things like "Jake decided to have a secret kid because he's desperate to be A list star"?

Anonymous said...

Destiny said Jake hides the kid (along with bearding) so he can be an A lister.

Anonymous said...

Destiny would twist and spin everything she can - including Jake's A list ambition.

Having a secret kid = PROOF that Jake is gay.
So by having secret kid Jake would risk being outed as gay without sex tape (or at least being a major Hollywood scandal).
And we are talking about someone who bearded with high profile beards.
So if Jake is desperate to be A list he wouldn't have a kid via surrogate just to hide it every single day from the rest of the world and worry about being blackmailed or found out.

Oh lawdy. This is hilarious. I typed in "jake gyllenhaal gay" into Google search.

Normally you just get a list of websites. BUT! Now, right at the top of the page, Google gives a "best guess" as to the sexual orientation of said actor!!

Google's verdict: Jake is straight.

I think there was a brief time when Jake thought he could at least live in glass closet and still be a big A list star. I think if there is a BT he planned to have the child before he decided to go screaming back into the deepest closet he could find. I think one of the reasons he did that was to get POP, and possibly because he was generally having trouble getting work--or at least the kind of work he thought he should be getting after BBM.

It has become pretty clear that you can't get a potential franchise like POP without showing the world you are really 100% straight. Look at all the stars that magically get girlfriends when they get certain films--like Luke Evans--or even fiances, like Caville, the minute he was cast in Superman. Others are already bearded up or married.

I think Jake really wanted to do POP, so he bearded up with Reese, and the rest is history.

OK. Why would Jake want to have kid just when he got his big break, when he expected big offers, time to make career?

destiny said...

I'm not so sure the first hint of Reeking wasn't just the usual tabloid nonsense of hooking up movie co-stars and/or came from Reese's camp to make her look good after the divorce news came out.

2006 we had plenty of pictures of jake with Austin or sightings of the two of them together. Not the behavior of someone who I would expect to turn around and start bearding and run deep into the closet.

I don't think there's anything incompatible between having a kid and having your career take off. If people didn't have a kid because they're going to be busy working long hours on films or television then nobody in HW would have children--and if anything, it seems like you can't turn around without reading about someone else having a baby.

There is a considerable amount of time between Baby Tile births. They don't come one right after the other, if my speculation is correct:

2007 October BT1
2009 January BT2 & 3 (twins)
2010 August BT4

There was also the case of those 2 small boxes of candy in Jake's hand as he was leaving the doctor's office. I don't remember when that was but I can't believe the candy was for Jake.

Prairie Girl at OMG:

There was also the case of the multiple yogurts in Jake's bag in the infamous yogurt pictures with Reese. Deacon, Ava, and Reese were already eating theirs - so who were those all for?


They believe that J/A have children on some of the craziest of reasons. I can't believe it.

PG, have you ever decided that some food you bought was so good you want to buy 2 more to take home for later? PG, you don't have to believe that the candy was Jake's. That does not make it true. Just because he wears the same jeans all the time does not mean only has one pair or he does not have a washing machine.
It may seem that way, but it may not be real.

And Actually made an excellent point about Busy Phillips.

Jake never used to hang around her. He hung around with Chris the chef.

But like so many new young parents whose inner circle of friends change when they begin raising a family, Jake's seems to have changed as well.

What does he have in common with Busy? They both have children very close in age.

PG seems to forget that Jake and Busy have something in common: They are the Godparents to Matilda, a fact that the loons never seem to mention. And they didn't just start hanging out I remember someone back in '06 posting a sighting of Jake, Heath, Matilda, Michele and some blonde at a Farmers Market in L.A. Later on everyone on the DC forum where it was posted figured out it was Busy.

Anonymous said...

You have no idea how often he sees Matilda and Michele, just because there are no pics of them on IHJ doesn't mean he does'nt see them.

You see Busy with them but she is a lot closer to Michele.

I also think that he makes sure that he isn't seen with Matilda and Michele, the gossip ghouls would have afield day.

The loons hate Matilda and Ramona, there is such bitterness towards them especially Ramona.

I believe they hate kid especially females and only like's the BT's because they know they are make believe.

Bottom line: PG purposely leaves out the fact that he is a Godparent, wonder why?

Reese Witherspoon considers Jake Gyllenhaal for a revenge rebound romance?

Friends of Hollywood beauty, Reese Witherspoon want her to consider hunky Jake Gyllenhaal for a revenge rebound romance to mend her broken heart reports NW Magazine!

Witherspoon filed for divorce from Ryan Phillippe.
The Oscar-winning actress cited irreconcilable differences and has asked for
joint custody of the couple's children - seven-year-old Ava and
three-year-old Deacon - but is seeking physical custody with visitation
rights granted to her husband.

In the court papers filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Witherspoon, 30, also requests that the court not grant spousal support for Phillippe.

Yesterday, Phillippe issued an exclusive statement to PEOPLE , saying, “I’m not a perfect person, but I’m not guilty of a lot of the things I have been accused of. My priority is and always has been the health and safety of my family."

It was alleged last week that the cause for the break-up Ryan's affair with
Australian actress Abbie Cornish, his co-star in independent film 'Stop
Loss'.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake, one of the movie industry's most eligible bachelors, are set to get together at the end of this month to film the CIA thriller Rendition.

Reese's friends predict the two may simply be unable to resist each other. Jake has a determined track record of seducing his female leads, and career-conscious Reese knows a hot new leading man is just what she needs.
"They're both young, talented and magical. I'm sure sparks will fly," says Clifford Streit, the producer of Reese's hit film American Psycho.

Reese's friends say Jake is perfect for the actress — because he's the opposite of Ryan.
"Jake is just the type of guy Reese needs round right now. It's going to be a huge boost for her ego, spending time with someone who shares so many of her values," says an insider.

Unlike the party-hard Ryan, Jake is a private man who shies away from the spectacle of Hollywood. And, like Reese, he loves to spend time at home, walking his dogs and staying in shape.
"Jake is everything Ryan isn't — he's grounded, he's a family man, he loathes the party scene and, most important, he's a one-woman guy," says an insider. Adds the source, "Jake is ripe for the picking. He hasn't had a serious relationship since splitting with Kirsten Dunst two years ago. He has a history of romancing his beautiful co-stars. When he makes eyes at Reese, you can bet there'll be fireworks."

Picking up the pieces after the end of her seven-year marriage, Reese is determined to handle her divorce with dignity – with or without a new man on her arm.
"She's moving full-speed ahead. She cares more about being embarrassed than about anything else, really," says a pal.
"She's determined to handle the split with poise. She doesn't want a long and protracted divorce battle, but if Ryan fires the first shot, she's ready to fire back. Reese is not going to let Ryan walk all over her anymore."

I never disagreed that there wasn't an early story about Jake and Reese. Once again you are reading what you want, and ignoring the rest of my post. If you're going to slam me at least get your facts straight.

What I said is that it is possible it was just coming from Reese, or the tabloids were making it up the way they do many times withe co-stars on a movie. You don't know any more than I do when a contract was signed. It would have been before Reese got divorced, making my guess wrong, or it could have been the summer of 2007 when the whole stupid little game of people catching glimpses of them together but oooh, those paps just couldn't catch them together.

Most of those screaming Jake and Austin are nothing but gay will willingly except any female stars bisexuality with open arms while tearing down any idea that any MAN could be bi also. In thier heads this will not be heard of or tolerated. Women get a pass.
