Thank you so much!
I totally agree with all you wrote, but to reply in more detail:
The girl I mentioned never made the papers, as I wrote he never spoke about her and never introduced her anywhere, except his trainer at the time and the trainer's wife. She was brunette and was generally regarded as... "crazy". She was US American and this happened in the US, trainer & wife are also US Americans. There were pics of her socials online, she was into hunting and had smeared blood of some deer all over her face and was laughing, toting her gun. I think that's where the "crazy" label partly came from, and I can't say I disagree, that's quite disgusting (Armie Hammer territory LOL).
I only remember her name, not her surname, but won't write it in public as she isn't in the public eye and it's not really fair, esp. on her.
The blonde was his second barely legal gf, but he spoke about her publicly and took her to at least one premiere and she posed with his family and was in the papers. You'll for sure find her name by googling, initials are TK. She's British, I think from London.
No, sadly I'm not that much of an insider and don't know him personally or his family. I used to read his imdb thread occasionally and even though many a poster went too far, there was some smoking hot tea there to be found, like all the info about the barely legal US gf and pics and everything. I just happened to be at the right time in the right digital place
I was so mad when imdb closed their forum, don't know where the posters went (if anyone knows or was a poster there, please raise your hand and spill some tea and tell us where to find more!).
Ah yes I totally forgot PR relationships for other purposes than covering sexuality, but the gay label gets thrown around so much, that that's where my mind immediately went.
But because of his and Gina's living arrangements (imdb boards were still up and people gathered the fan sightings there) I doubt it was solely for PR. PR was beneficial for both for sure, but that was more like a nice side effect. I don't think anyone moves to bmfck countryside for anyone for PR and then doesn't even get column space out of it (would be a pretty bad deal!).
I never posted on the imdb boards, just read. As bit of additional side info, before anyone asks
Yes, lots of bi erasure and I have no doubt there are lots of (closeted) gay and bi actors/singers/entertainers out there. But according to DL everyone is
DL also has some great tea though, so I'm not slamming the board, just as note to take some things with a grain of salt (which is a solid approach always in life, innit
)
Another of my issues with DL (aside from everyone being said to be gay nilly willy without a speck of proof or reliable account) is that they call anyone who questions a gay rumour a "frau". "Is he really? How do you know?" "oh you're such a frau if you can't handle it leave" is then the tone, turnt me off the board so I'm rarely there except when there's something good to be found (eg the current Armie Hammer shyte, sorry to mention him so much but it fits and that tea is frikkin hot!).
CDAN!! Literally the place I thought of first and foremost!!!!
Yes, I've heard about that older woman and who knows, could be true. Don't have much info there, but as I said, he seems to be a bit of a dog and added fame had turnt him into a cad (at least for a while, don't know whether he's cooled down, don't really follow him much since the imdb boards were shut down), so I think he just takes any woman who throws herself at him and plays the field liberally, no regard for age as long as she's legal, willing and impressed by "Supes"
. That's my impression.
Oh and by the way, someone once said that you've only made it once you get the gay rumour (Sam Jones in SATC???) and boy, that is SO true!!! If there aren't people out there questioning your sexuality on the internets, are you really famous??
Edit: The gay rumours started on DL based on his roomate and the thing of him liking "under age" or "too young girls" started only once he'd (very stupidly) introduced the blonde 18/19 year old publicly (seemed like she and her friends were also busy leaking at the time, keen on some media attention). Ever since there are always comments how he "likes them young", this was never ever said before the blonde. Can't blame people, he shouldn't have gone there, that's too young (no matter how mature they claim or seem to be, they're not, end of story) and now he can't live it down and it gets mentioned ad nauseum (can't blame the commenters on that front, either, tbh).
These bases for those rumours then seem to have grown their own legs, like a Chinese whisper.
Knowing the depravity of that business and how awful people are and all the shyte that becomes public about shyte people I'll also say that little surprises me, so if some dirt comes out about him or sth turns out to be true, I won't be too shocked, because what else is new??
