Is John Goodman gay?

He's married to a woman, no?

I see it, too. Even though he’s not flamboyant, he’s always pinged to me.

He's gay. Like Karl Malden and Raymond Burr nobody really cares.

Real World: He's been married to a woman since 1989 - so it's extremely unlikely. Why?

Gay World: he’s always pinged to me. He's gay.

The best I've seen him look lately was in Atomic Blonde where, for a change, he didn't play a working class guy or a looser, but a high ranking CIA agent.

I have no idea if he's gay.

[quote] He's married to a woman, no?

Ed Asner was married, but has been living with a male partner for a very long time now.

I mean, LOSER!!!

Old straight men don't hang out at The Abbey.

R5, are you making a reference to John Goodman being "loose?" 😬😱

He's always pinged to me and I have no reason to claim him as gay (I'm not gay). The pinging over the years has never gone away.

Quite a few years back, I knew an ex-girlfriend of his that he was dating at the time. She was younger and very attractive. She never indicated anything that he was gay.

He was hot back in the day.

Gay and very much a bitchy queen. I saw him queen out and bitch about not being bumped to first class on a flight from LAX to Detroit. He booked coach expecting to be bumped up because he was a celebrity but FC was full. I had upgraded with miles weeks ago. I was behind him waiting for FC checking and heard him say "can't you just bump one of these nobodies for me?" The lady at check in thought he was kidding and laughed..he was not kidding. He stepped aside to check me in and I handed her my id and said: "just us nobodies checking in." He shot me a look and rolled his eyes like GURRRRL.

The most fuckable obese guy in the world, IMO.

Wasn't he a big coke fiend at one point?

Does anyone remember the SNL skit where he was lusting after Mango? I think he was fighting over Mango with some other guy. Jon Hamm? It was quite funny.

I will forever love him as Linda Tripp!

He really needs to come back to SNL and do Sarah Huckabee-Sanders!

KFC loves the gays!

Did he play a homo on the HBO series Treme?

...as a PICNIC basket.

Ed Asner? Karl Malden?

This is what I've learned about John Goodman from Datalounge. I haven't the foggiest notion if any of this is true.

1. Years ago, on Oscar night, Goodman showed up at The Abbey, higher than a Georgia pine.

2. Goodman & wife live separate lives.

3. He has a long-time boyfriend, a comedian from New Orleans who appeared on "Roseanne", he also has/had younger" pieces"on the side.

He's not hot, but I'd be happy if he was on the team! He's a great actor, I've liked him in so many things.

I’ve seen him a bunch of times at an eye doctor’s office outside New Orleans. He blended in with the other older, overweight men...if I hadn’t heard and recognized his voice, I wouldn’t have even noticed him.

I always assumed he was. R9 pretty much summed it up for me.

He seems queeny to me in the same way that Richard "Don't-Like-the-Panties-Hanging-on-the-Rod" Dreyfuss is queeny. But Dreyfuss is not gay, so... Just OTT straight actors?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

That's David Duchovny, R26, not Jon Hamm.

^That's David Duchovny.

He may well be straight, but you will never convince his friends and neighbors in New Orleans of that. He was initially drawn to the city(while working there) by its laissez faire anything goes, loose as a goose style of life.

I though so ever since this underwear scene.

R4 is a frau who clearly doesn't understand how the closet works.

What movie is that from, R30?

If you were the irresistible dick magnet Mango, would you have opted for the bearish John Goodman or the suave David Duchovny? Or would a spit roasting be necessary as a Solomonic answer to the quandary?

there have alwys been those pesky rumors......his castmates prob know

R34, stop posting. You contribute nothing.

He is about as gay as your prolapsed anus, OP. FOAD. (fuck off and die)

truth wins out. out em all !!!!!

[quote] He booked coach expecting to be bumped up because he was a celebrity but FC was full. I had upgraded with miles weeks ago. I was behind him waiting for FC checking and heard him say "can't you just bump one of these nobodies for me?"

I'm a nobody who got bumped from first class by a celebrity in the 1980s.

I had been upgraded and was in my seat when, just before take-off, I was 'un-upgraded' because the passenger who had booked the seat initially finally showed up.

It was pre-coming-out George Takei.

I didn't even get a free drink coupon.

[quote]Eldergay, doing the walk of shame...all the way back to coach

Excellent werqing opportunity.

Ewwwwwweee

Could be.

The only fuckable obese guy in the world, R13. JG strikes me as deeply troubled/demons, sensitive (well, he's an artist), and yes he could very well be gay.

He’s CPAP fat.

He told a story about Kristen Wiig dissing him at a party so he has a bit of bitchiness about him.

R32 Everybody's All American

I’d love to see him on SNL doing an impersonation of SHS! He would br hilarious.

Jesus, R11! I'd totally fuck him there. Now, not so much.

A lot of straight people had no idea the late John Mahoney was gay.

There are so many actors who are under the radar. My mom was shocked to hear Raymond Burr and the great character actor Jon Polito were gay. Just two examples and no, they weren't a couple.

For over a decade there have been posters saying he is gay.

Where are these posters hanging?

[quote]A lot of straight people had no idea the late John Mahoney was gay.

A lot of people had no idea Rock Hudson was gay.

Most straight people don't even think about who's gay or not.

Ed Asner is twice divorced, he's not married. I didn't know he was reportedly living with a boyfriend!

Very few people knew that Daniel J. Travvanti, Raymond Burr, Robert Reed, Dick Sargent, Richard Chamberlain and Earl Holliman were gay. It's surprising the number of iconic TV roles were played by gay men and the general public had no idea.

The only place I ever heard gay rumors were on DL for the last 20 years.

[quote]Ed Asner was married, but has been living with a male partner for a very long time now.

A female acquaintance (who has a major daddy complex) had an affair with Ed Asner when she was in her 20s and he was 60ish. He asked her to shit on him and she complied but was not into it. I think they broke up shortly thereafter. So, anyway, he may well live with a boyfriend, but apparently he's bi and a scat freak.

Ewww, can you imagine trying to get the shit out of all of that hair?

Never understood the appeal of scat, nothing and I do mean nothing is arousing about excrement! How long does it take to get the shit and the fetid smell off one's body?! A two hour shower and a full bottle of body wash?!

[Quote]Wasn't he a big coke fiend at one point?

I once saw him doing coke in the VIP area at Industry in Toronto in the late 1990s. It looked sad even then.

Someone on here said he got drunk at a party and hit in him. But DL is notorious for having posters be certain that if a famous man looked at them for more than two seconds it was cruising.

Aren't Reginald VelJohnson and Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince gay in real life? What was it with gays 90s sitcom dads.

R58, he's lucky to be alive then. He was quite a big boy to be doing coke...

Not that being married to a person of the opposite sex means anything on DL, but James Avery was married.

On December 31, 2013, Avery died aged 68, from complications following open heart surgery at Glendale Memorial Medical Center. He was survived by his mother, Florence Avery (1924–2016), as well as his wife and stepson.

Are you confusing James Avery with the actor who played Geoffrey the butler, Joseph Marcell? I always got a gay vibe from him.

R53 Please tell me about Earl Holliman.

John Goodman was a never married, fat, 37 year old alcoholic and married a 20 year old college student. They had a child and lived happily ever after. Doesn't that sound suspicious?

No R62, it was James Avery who I have heard about over the years, more than a few times. I can't vouch for any proof other than I've heard that from more than a few sources, and like John Goodman, I don't think there is anybody trying to claim him because he was some hot hunk.

Yes r16, Goodman plaYing Linda Tripp on SNL was classic. Apparently, it really angered Tripp. Even better.

It’s long been rumored that Avery and Will Smith had a thing during Fresh Prince.

I saw James Avery with a little white twink boy toy (I'm assuming) leaving the theater when he was appearing in "Applause." (In LA.)

He started out cute......

I find Kevin James infinitely more fuckable. But then again, he's my type.

R11, wow- shows you what weight can do!

[quote] I saw James Avery with a little white twink boy toy (I'm assuming) leaving the theater when he was appearing in "Applause." (In LA.)

LOL, I dunno why but I find this visual hilarious.

I don't think James Avery was gay. Perhaps people are confused because he played a gay man with AIDS on the 80s Showtime sitcom, "Brothers".

When I was a pretty cute 20something I would PA on films. Jon Polito started openly flirting at the craft service table the moment he met me. On another film I was around Goodman a lot and he never gave off any kind of gay vibe, much less tell me I was cute. But maybe I just wasn't his type.

"When I was a pretty cute 20something I would PA on films."

Any other good stories? Did perv Kevin Spacey try to shove his hands down your pants?

Not at all surprised by this. Socialists are icky.

Regarding the video at R69, what in the world happened to John? Why would an actor gain so much weight?

R75 - even then I was too old for Kevin Spacey

Hee Hee!!

[quote]Not at all surprised by this. Socialists are icky.

LOL, r76. I doubt that the socialism and the scat fetish are related, but okay.

"Socialists are icky", WTF? This has got to be one the dumbest proclamations ever made on DL.

Those Russian Bots are sure working overtime lately!

Apparently, R76 hasn't met our resident scatologist, Erna, she's about as far from a socialist as one could get.

"even then I was too old for Kevin Spacey"

Did he hit on anyone else that know who was even younger? I bet he was a real creep.

R66, just for you. A classic!

I want to know if Colbert is gay or if he just wants to be

Hot stud!

yuk!!

That's gross, r55!

[quote]Like Karl Malden

Was not a homosexual

Can't recall his name, but there is a very very tall sitcom actor, supporting player, very average looking, had a gig on along running show, who almost came out in the early 90s when I worked Genre magazine.

Neither Karl Malden or Ed Asner is/was gay. I have heard the rumors about Goodman for 30 years. And I am in the business, so I tend to believe them. And remember, he was in a musical on Broadway. Just sayin'...

R91, don’t care if you’re in “the business” (cable installation, maybe?) but Asner is indeed gay.

He’s been with the same partner for years and I’ve met him.

No. ...

If Goodman were Gay, wouldn't Roseanne have weaponized that fact by now? Since she's never said anything I'm putting him into the straight column.

By coincidence, I've sat next to him twice in the last 15 years at the bar in a well-known NYC theater district celebrity hang out. I got absolutely no gay vibes from him, something I like to think I'm pretty good at, at this point in my life. Of course, we're both fat, and not in a "fit fat" way.

He was a doll at R69 ! I always have liked him,and found him quite fuckable on Roseanne. Lord but he hit the wall hard .Not even a remnant of his former cuteness. I still love him though.

R84 I don't know if Colbert is or not, but I do know that I have slept with enough guys who attended his prep school, Porter-Gaud, in Charleston, to conclude they have more than their fair share of gay and bi young men. Literally, I think there must be something in the water.

r90 Robert Moll?

I assume at least half if not more of the actors in Hollywood are gay. We are very dominant in the acting profession.

r91

Just because you've been with a man for years or even half a century doesn't make you gay

He was so good in Barton Fink, though that movie really was weird.

[Quote] The most fuckable obese guy in the world,

That would be PSH for me.

I know him as an acquaintance and I don’t get any read on his sexuality one way or another . My feeling is he’s straight or bisexual like many artists . Or he very well could be closeted . Don’t know and don’t care . He’s a great guy . Nothing bad to say about him . Warm and kind.

He used to be kinda working class sexy:

Hi R102. Glad to hear you know John Goodman. He's a fantastic actor, one of my favourite. I think I've enjoyed every single one of his performances (from those I've seen).

R93 The one thing people in the entertainment industry don’t do is ‘out’. Doing so is a failure on so many levels, most notably the fact it just isn’t cool to insult someone by saying they are gay.

The major aspect people don’t see, is there are so many out gay people behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. In Hollywood people tend to know the score that if an actor is gay or bisexual it’s the norm to be kept secret.

He's about as gay as me

I wonder what actors think when they find these threads.

He was great in Normal, Ohio. He was the lead playing an openly gay guy who had to move back to Ohio from LA.

[quote]The show was most notable for the divisions it exposed regarding American culture's view of homosexuality. Gamble was an average blue collar bear-type gay man, with many traits typical of American masculinity, including a love of football and beer, and very few of the traits stereotypically associated with gay men, and yet his sexuality itself was signified in part by isolated moments of more stereotypically gay behavior, such as singing snippets of Broadway show tunes and helping his sister to color her hair, that were seemingly at odds with the way his character was presented most of the time. As a result, some media outlets dismissed Goodman's role as unrealistic

I heard he was gay years ago, way before I ever knew about The DL. Mostly gossip from friends who lived in New Orleans. They had stories, but I don't remember specifics...just that it was sort of a thing everyone in New Orleans knew.

[quote] That would be PSH for me.

You wouldn't like him now R101, he's all bones.

Can you imagine all the innocent Hollywood starlets he forced himself upon?

My mom was shocked to hear that Richard Deacon, who played Mel Cooley on the Dick Van Dyke Show, was gay. "Who would want to sleep with him?" she asked.

Same goes with Goodman, Burr and the other TV bears. Most people never gave their sexuality a second thought.

r112

no one wants to sleep with them, but there are ways
