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.”

«Oldest ‹Older 2201 – 2286 of 2286Why would "Jack the troll" make up fake babbler accounts, I thought that he posted there or did.
The fake accounts started around 2007, shortly after OMG started, they were busted then they stopped.
Then they got bored and realized that google didn't fix the glitch where in some cases you could use the same name to create an account with a bit of tweeking.
They started posting here but the were exposed as fake, I think the loons are bored again.
Also I would like to know what went down on the DC forum between these silly fangirls.
How interested is Jake in his career ? Because he seems to not care at all anymore
Something's up because a lot of posts are being deleted and it can't possibly be just one person. I'm glad that equal opportunity trolling deletion exists, at least here.
How interested is Jake in his career?
Not much from what we can see.
It was one person posting the same thing over and over again, so no, nothing is up other than Jack and or UV having a meltdown.
If it was a fake account, then it was Jack that created it. He's done it before and been caught by OMG, not the other way around, as he'd have everyone here believing.
9:03: You're wrong, I was posting on OMG back in '07 when it first happened. Someone on there made up a fake FL account and then a UV account, I won't say who it was but she will give herself away like she usually do.
And please stop blaming " Jack" for you HS girl silly online fights with other jake blog owners because that's all it is.
The loon are in a snit because Jackie has been deleting their posts.
There is no reason for "Jack" to do that but there sure is a reason for the loons on OMG to do do, they will do anything for attention.
And here I was thinking we could get this blog back on topic
That's a lie, OMG never caught "Jack" making up a fake account. The spin at the time was that FL posted on OMG and signed in using her blogger name and then used it to set up that Jake is straight.
Someone that used to post their at the time said that that FL never posted there using her blogger name, she may have using another name but not her blogger name and certainly not the straight blog.
Whoever saved the screen shots of her post and her alleged blog was the one that made up the fake accounts.
Take a guess on who it was and it
wasn't Jack!
Jack, give it a rest already, and go take your meds. It's been a long day.
I just hopped on to see what the latest news of Jake was and all I can say is, "Boy another day wasted." Someone better get control of this blog. The biggest problem I've seen is that attacks on Omg commenters is allowed in the first place.
Who's attacking OMG commenters?
Their comments and shortcomings are discussed and made fun of like anything and anyone else.
Would you say that we should ignore crazy OMG theories and arogant OMG posters? Or that we should pretend how OMG theories are based on reason and logic?
Someone better get control of this blog.
Fan & gossip blogs are about having fun.

The biggest problem I've seen is that attacks on Omg commenters is allowed in the first place.
Discussing, commenting and criticising is NOT attacking.
There is no reason why WFT2 posters shouldn't discuss, comment or criticise OMG posters and posts.
Maybe you could find some comments that could / should be called "attacks on OMG commenters" but they are exception, not the rule.
I have finished directing my show. I look forward to editing and sharing all the great performances with all of you.

This was one lucky reader, who got to sit next to ~Jake Gyllenhaal~ at Foreign Cinema on a Sunday afternoon.
The tipster reports: “He was dining on French toast and he was with two other ladies, presumably screenwriters because they were discussing a script.” Le swoon.

No wonder J&A believers are frustrated as Hell, Jake was with everyone but Austin (and BT4) last weekend. Babymoon my ass.

Would Ryan mind? :)
How come no one talks about GB and their ridiculous posts if the talk about OMG has nothing to do with an agenda of hate and trolling?

20 days for directing one OTH episode?
How come no one talks about GB and their ridiculous posts if the talk about OMG has nothing to do with an agenda of hate and trolling?
1. GB is blog about "straight" Jake. OMG and WFT2 are blogs about gay and bearding Jake.
2. Why would any OMG poster mind being talked about if he/she stands behind his/her comments and opinions?
3. Talking about OMG is "an agenda of hate and trolling"?????
OMG posters HATE the fact that they can't control WFT2 comments, can't delete them and can't stop people from pointing out lack of logic and sense in their theories. That silly and transparent crap "you are obsessed with OMG / with me" comes from that frustration.
There is just one problem - J&A believers / Ted believers ditching common sense and insisting that their wishful thinking could be true.
I really want to see OMG reactions when their theories implode . And they will at one point
Let's not underestimate OMG's imagination - they will find a perfectly good "explanation" for any situation :)
OMG posters HATE the fact that they can't control WFT2 comments.
There may be some truth to this, at least for a couple of them. Others are content to live and let live.
1:12 PM - you are right, that should be: OMG posters who post here HATE the fact that they can't control WFT2 comments.

I have posted a number of times in here over the years, that a friend of mine was a buddy of both Elton and Eminem. I used to hear him on the phone with them. He was a famous music producer. He told me the reason Elton got along and did stuff with Eminem was because he was gay. I heard them talking about it. That's all I know.

Yesterday, allegedly leaked DMs between Chris Brown and R&B singer Martyn revealed the two allegedly had some kind of butt sex with Chris Brown being on the receiving end as almost everyone suspected. While the authenticity of the screencaps have been questioned, Martyn has now confirmed the DMs, along with the gay sex, but also says comments were added via Photoshop. At any rate, he’s reveling in the attention on Twitter along with basically telling Chris Brown (And Trey Songz, who he also allegedly banged.) to own up to it now because he’s going to keep talking. Here are some sample tweets from the 800 he sent last night:
- @GoodBoyGoneBadd the DMs were truly sent back and forth. But that’s my business. Thanks for tuning in.
- @IzzyZolanskii @chrisbrown @treysongz I’ll confirm it. It’s all over the web. And twitter.
- @FireBombFenty @chrisbrown they are real just that someone decided to add a lil extra comment through Photoshop..why? Guess 2 b juicier
- @_KirstenBlease ofcourse Chris wouldn’t fck me…read next time…I FCKD him and the DMs are out…haven’t u read?
- @straythenomad sure man am ready for interviews and will be revealing a lot. @chrisbrown maybe u should speak up now n say something.
- @XoxoFxckYou well maybe if he had the guts to say something I would stop..@chrisbrown like I said u can talk any moment now b4 it all spills
- @intangiblelove don’t be confused I’ll speak my mind n say it all on interviews soon 2 com..@chrisbrown it’s out so just cal me b4 it spills
- @BeckyDoran_ they look pretty real to me…tho sum1 if not a mag tried switching something up to make it bigger.
- @_Ryanchris can’t say/give info till I finish interviews :) stay tuned. Am da 1stChris brown alleged lover to come forward with a face damn
While all of this sounds suspiciously self-promoting, if women are allowed to exploit having sex with a male celebrity for a chance at fame, it’s only fair that gay guys have the same right. This is America, goddammit, the land of opportunity if opportunity means fucking rich people so you don’t have to get a job. It’s what we were founded on.

Oops!
Let's not underestimate OMG's imagination - they will find a perfectly good "explanation" for any situation :)
OMG "explanation" protocol (excerpt from OMG Word doc)
1. Shift blame onto the current beard/s
2. Drag out photos of J&A from 2006
3. Say it's all a PR conspiracy
And if the above "explanations" don't work:
4. Blame it on "Jack"!

Closeted male celebrities disagree!

At that point Destiny calls them obsessed and laughs like crazy! Oh wait, that's OMG, OMG posters have different rules for OMG.

LOL :)
Still obsessed with OMG I see.
Still posting stupid bullshit I see. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Nor even a little bit? You should be.
Ashamed? LOL this isn't a confessional!
Ashamed for being pathetic person, dishonest and ball-less about small, trivial things.

about small, trivial things.
By definition, who gives a shit about trivial things. Do you think any on this blog is world shattering? I think that makes you the pathetic one.

10:35 AM - you don't make any sense - I bet you are OMG regular poster.
Poor trolly. he still thinks Jake is straight. LOL!
Sorry 11:08 AM, Jake doesn't need Ted and Austin to be gay.
11:08= the "real m"
Hi Real M! :)
Ted no doubt reads OMG and WFT2 to see what people are talking about. Of course, these days, WFT2 is only talking about OMG, so Ted probably only reads you guys. LOLLL!
Who posted that?
Not a regular...some OMG ass-licking sycophant
I see, thanks.
Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway?
It was instant attraction when they started rehearsals, despite the fact that he’s supposed to be happily married. On set flirtation, some touching in the trailer, soon became after work “prep time”, and heavy petting in the car, and before long it was a full blown affair. May have been a method situation for him, which would surprise no one, but for her, even though she told herself this was a big girl, mature woman thing to do – take a co-star lover – of course she fell in love, although she obediently went back to her boyfriend and tried to shake it off he cut it off after three weeks as soon as his wife came over to stay. He seems to be able to pretend like it never happened. Which, naturally, is confusing her because she thought it was so real. Of course she did. As it happened, there was a break in the schedule and they haven’t had to work together for a while, much to the studio’s relief. These are big names on a big film with big expectation and there was already enough drama last time around. But shooting with everyone resumes again in a few days, and they’ll be sending an executive to stay around through the stretch to keep a close eye. Babysitting is exactly what it is.

No, the opposite - that there's only one, if that.
No, I think that was Destiny.

Jake Gyllenhaal had hoped for a nice, relaxing steam when he turned up at the 10th Street baths last week -- but arrived to find the place packed with power players in robes. Organizers of Elit by Stoli’s male-only gathering had taken over the place, with white towel-wearing guests including Nobu’s Richie Notar, venture capitalist Adam Dell, Niche Media founder Jason Binn, David Rabin and Lance Broumand. We’re told they, ahem, “let it all hang out.”
