John Barrowman

[Reverend]

His career is screwed and it's never coming back. His new album failed to make the Top 100 which means it must have sold less than a hundred copies and his upcoming tour, already cancelled once, looks dead in the water.

If you follow him on socials, his behaviour can be concerning, swinging between manic shrillness to complete despondency. Although his behaviour was wrong, and his 'apologies' mealy-mouthed, I always got the feeling he was, at heart, a good guy, and I was impressed with the way he promoted LGBT+ rights and called out racism and other forms of bigotry. Attacking him further at this point seems like cruelty and I would genuinely worry about his mental health.

Noel Clarke, on the other hand, can go ¤¤¤¤ himself.

Why the faux Scottish accent? He's always been camp with an American accent.

yip noticed this too `I believe he has used his Scottish accent on previous occasions to! maybe because he was being interviewed by a fellow scot LuLu does the same puts her Scottish accent when the mood suits!

 

[Doodlebug005]

I don't see how anyone can think this is acceptable. Even worse when you consider how rich he is so it's not like a movie ticket is that big a deal and the fact he tagged the director and studio in, how supportive of fellow creators! Imagine doing that to him.

AND STOP USING 'TROLLS' AND 'HATERS' TO DISMISS FAIR CRITICISM!!!

Comes across quite cocky, pardon pun... Reminded me I had seen this. All has been forgiven????

John Barrowman 'given second chance to make ITV comeback' after flashing scandal

ITV bosses have reportedly decided to give John Barrowman another chance after he was dogged by a flashing scandal and will make him host of All Star Musicals

I say this is just him saving face in PR. Jumped before pushed

[Flowergirl14]

Exactly! No way is it acceptable to flash...

 

[Mark81]

A friend made the point that now if you Google John Barrowman this will be the job story, puts the getting his dick out stories further in the past.

 

[Mark81]

It's time the BBC or someone did an expose on itv. It's very clear they are covering up bad behaviour to protect their 'happy family' approach

 

[MarshMallowMonster]

Back in the day we just thought Saville was a wacky eccentric dude, we were too naive to see he was creepy. His victims had cried out, some of them at least but by then he was in such a high pedestal they had no chance to expose him. Saville was also a champion groomer.

There is certainly an element of grooming too in JB’s case. He convinced his fan base / entourages that his lewd behaviour was all in good jest and acceptable.

I remember watching him on Celebrity Juice am sure he mentioned about getting his bit or arse our and the audience thought it was hilarious. Leigh Francis milked that for laughs. He is another one who found humour in putting others in embarrassing situations.

 

[MarshMallowMonster]

John left so early after puking. He got in some digs though about the media portraying him as a sexual deviant. Did Dr.Who have nude scenes? Touchwood did I think. Nevertheless not a reason to wave your genitals around…

 

[Briar Rose]

Used to be a fan but there is something very wrong with someone who thinks getting their dick out whenever they feel like it is okay. I feel awful for anyone he's made uncomfortable over the years but was too afraid to speak up.

 

[LadyMuck]

Lasted 30 minutes on Who Dares Wins apparently.

Was this supposed to be part of his rehabilitation and reinvention as a wholesome celebrity? Ooops.

Wimp. He took the place of another contestant

Leigh Francis

Disgusting individual. I can see why Holly Willoughby's husband rates him so highly. Birds of a Feather.

 

[EastofHollywood]

I wonder if he got it out when he was in the the jungle in I'm a Celebrity get me out of here

I suspect he knew that acting is full of enablers and people who won't say anything in order to not offend the talent. In DoI he wasnt the star, so couldnt get away with doing it to Jayne Torvill!

 

[DanDanTheIceCreamMan]

He strikes me as someone who doesn't like authority in general TBH

Hope he doesn't get paid for it...

 

[JanetDeVana]

Aaaaaand hes now been sacked from DOI. Good.

 

[Millennial Pink]

Christ alive, is he still talking about this? He needs to keep quiet about it. His career was completely over anyway, he'd resorted to reality tv long ago. I remember reading that he's been reprimanded for this on the set of Torchwood but he kept doing it anyway. He needs therapy if it's a compulsion.

On the accent thing, he's bi-dialectal as a result of moving when he was a kid. I believe his sister is the same.

I just wish he'd retire gracefully into obscurity so we never have to think about his grotty penis ever again...

Re: the Barrowman situation, I think it should be pointed out that when somebody complained about his behaviour, the producers reprimanded him, so it’s not like they turned a blind eye.
Personally, I think that his antics are juvenile and disgusting, but many people who worked with him are on record saying that it’s brilliant fun. At fan conventions, he used to literally show his bare bottom to the audience and get loud cheers, and actually people would ask him specifically to do that. At least once he put a fan’s phone down his pants and took a picture, and she said it was the best day of her life or something like that, and others were quite excited, and not a single person said “eww.” Not to mention he told the story about waving his dick around several times and the audience ate it up and he got zero repercussions at the time. It’s all on youtube btw, and a lot of comments are quite positive as well.
I mean, it’s fair to blame the producers for a lot of things that went down on set, and of course Barrowman carries his own responsibility, but talking about enablers, it’s clear that a lot of people in the audience enabled his behaviour for years.

 

[LadyMuck]

His lack of accountability is shocking, but at same time not surprising. He really doesn't see anything wrong with it. ITV are complacent in encouraging him

I agree, others have been dropped for much less, and banished from our screens forever.

 

[Phoenix Lazarus]

It’s just “John” flopping his cock out in the workplace, it’s okay he does that to all the girls.

if someone did this to any of my female family I would be livid

shame someone hadnt a rolling pin out and smashed it.

I think it would be fairly unpleasant for many male recipients as well.

 

[Amelia99]

Has he got a role in Snow White and the Seven Perverts instead?

Or maybe Dick Whittington with the emphasis on the Dick.
