80's icon Russell Todd comes out as gay

If he was handsome in the 80s I dread to think of what he looks like now.

We have all known this for awhile on DL, but do you have a link OP?

I don’t know who he is much less his boyfriend. Has he done any nudity?

Here he is today and he's still totally fuckable.

An icon with those credits? So very generous of you.

[quote]Does anyone know who his boyfriend is?

According to this site, his boyfriends name is Dan Lauten.

He says in the article

"I have a good friend, Russell Todd"

On his profile picture of Facebook, Russell has this to say.

[quote]Russell Todd Handsome and sexy as always! Love you..xoxo

Well you know when he met Allan Carr he (Russell Todd) was married to a woman, and even stayed married when he was on Another World.

So he must of come out after leaving Another World and getting divorced.

R7 It also says they're partners. I guess that could mean business partners, but kinda doubt it.

R9 Yeah, his ex-wife was a teacher, I think.

Young

Older.

Is there any proof?

He does autographs.

I tried to google "russell todd gay" and I found nothing.

And to hell with this new trend for OPs to announce a breaking news with NO LINKS, just a picture he finds cute.

R15, I tried to look for maybe an emotional Facebook post announcing it but his page is private.

He did ping in “Where The Boys Are” (1984 remake). The screen kiss he shared with Lisa Hartman was a bit AWKWARD. It surprises me he was even married.

In the movie he was slightly femme (not in the extravagant, but more subdued manner, like John Travolta).

I wouldn't exactly say "Where the Boys are '84" is a "classic." I mean, it had Lorna Luft, for God's sake.

He is on the board of directors of "Outfest" DUH I don't think a straight person would be on the board

He and his being out have been mentioned here before. He co starred in the 1984 classic “Where the Boys Are”.

nice looking man..but he trimmed his chest hair which is fine..but only critique he should then trim his armpit hair as well...

I AM big! It's the 'Friday the 13th' sequels that got small....

R21 His husband probably likes hairy armpits.

Who cares, he's 60.

He's been out in West Hollywood for DECADES.

Friendly, normal guy.

Is Where the Boys Are the sequel to The Lost Boys?

R24 I could only hope to look that good at 60.

Miss Youthquake 2018 at r24: whom do you think most of us on this board would rather fuck, him at 60, or you?

He seems to like showing off his armpits.

He lost all his dark beauty!

There was a 2016 thread about this. Though I don’t know how that OP knew that RT publicly came out. I guess he just came out privately, not on social or online media.

He's hot, hot, hot, but he should watch it with the way he holds his head in some of those photos. His neck wattle is verrrrrry crepey. Otherwise, I would NOT know he was 60. He looks great.

"1984 classic," r20?!

R25, so who in WeHo has had him (in his prime)?

Grandpa.

The original “Where The Boys Are” starred George Hamilton, before he turned orange! Now that, ladies and gents, is the definition of “classic”.

I'd like to see photos of all dataloungers at 60. Then we can compare.

I don't see any real evidence where he says he 's gay.

And he looks better at 60 than most men do in their 40s.

10 years ago, I fisted and fucked him at a sex party in Burbank.

One of the few guys I could classify as beautiful.

He is wearing Andrew Christian underwear. Gay

He has a very hot (Jewish? Middle Eastern?) look.

But in most of his photos they position him to appear more European (to hide the curve of the ethnic nose).

He looks different (more ethnic) in his films.

Omg, I don’t believe you OP!

His last name is Goldberg. Very beautiful almond-shaped blue eyes. Looks stunning against dark features.

Yes, Goldberg is his last name. He's jewish. He probably dropped his last name to not be typecast in jewish roles.

Stunning in his youth hot daddy now!

Why R40? Did you lose eyesight in the 1980s.

What a face 😍

Is it in Wikipedia? If it isn't in Wikipedia it isn't true.

He gay???

His co-star from Friday the 13th Pt. 2, Tom McBride, was gay and died of AIDS in the 90s. I'm sure he and Russell fucked like rabbits on set.

I'd fuck his daddy ass! I think he looks perfect now at 60. Older guys are so much better at sex. I'd rather fuck him than a twink.

More hair in his pits than on his head.

No thanks.

Tom McBride was much hotter.

The moment I heard him speak on my screen I knew hew was gay gay gay.

R51 do you believe that all gay co-workers sleep together?

I knew Tom McBride. He was a sweetheart.

I don't believe you OP

[quote] I'm sure he and Russell fucked like rabbits on set.

Unless they were both insatiable bottoms.

So basically this OP has NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER about Todd being gay.

Liar, liar, pants on fire, OP.

R39 says he fisted & fucked him - that’s good enough evidence for me!

So gay but not out?

Verificatia of sizemeat?

[quote]Does anyone know who his boyfriend is?

Does anyone know who Russell Todd is?

There, OP. Fixed that for you.

I'm sure there were many things in the '80s of which you were unaware.

I hope Russell fuck George Michael

[quote] So he must of come out

It's MUST HAVE, you idiot.

[quote] I hope Russell fuck George Michael

Uh, George is dead.

Russell Todd being gay is not a secret and is the farthest thing away from "breaking news" as possible. OP discovered something that is truly old news to every other living being on the planet.

[quote] I was in my 20s in the 80s and I've never heard of a gay icon "Richard Todd"

That's because his name is Russell Todd....you fat whore!

He's wearing Andrew Christian underwear...case closed.

Russell and Antony Hamilton were a couple for a second.

He's still very sexy. Didn't another poster once say they fisted Kevin Spirtas from Friday the 13th Part 7? What's with these Friday gays and fisting?

R73 Weird fisting troll is probably the same troll that says XYZ legendary actress from such and such soap opera used to clog the toilets at the studios.

Someone out there has mental health issues and thinks all that is funny.

OH god another average looking guy obsessed with youth and plastic surgery.. Also trimming what is natural... Probably a big old nelly leather queen....

Always rumored, but pretty much confirmed when he happened to appear as just a regular (non-celebrity) contestant on The Price Is Right several years ago. There used to be video of this, but he and his group of all-male friends in the audience pinged to high heaven.

He's pretty gay. But those eyes are incredible.

[quote] He has a very hot (Jewish? Middle Eastern?) look.

R42 Points for you. He was born "Russell Todd Goldberg," so one can probably assume Jewish ancestry.

A few years ago, he & his partner were looking at a house on one of those Bravo shows.

Something’s fucked up about his arms. He’s still got a pretty face, though.

I know Datalounge for ages, but never read him being mentioned before in any of the gossip threads about gays in Hollywood. Or maybe I am rely way too much on embedded pictures? And he was, and still is, a hot guy.

We basically had a thread about him last year. How can you not know OP?

Who?

Jason Voorhees slit his throat as he hung upside down.

Is there a clip of his demise in Halloween Part 2 somewhere? I don’t want to watch the whole movie...

r85 Do you not understand how google works?

R54, well,now he's deader.

Thanks, R86. You’re a dear.

Now be a doll and fetch me my robe & morning cappuccino too. Skimmed milk. Go light on the sugar.

r81 I met Russell Todd at Outfest in 2000 or 2001. He was completely out of the closet at the point.

I've mentioned meeting him being gay numerous times in DL. However, its mainly been on the soap threads since the reason knew him was the fact he played Jamie Frame on Another World from 1990-1993.

Oh, and, R86, peel me a grape, please.

Those must be veneers, yes?

Handsome was, handsome is! WELL-DONE, MR GOLDBERG.

Trimming all that chest hair seems like such a tedious chore. This is no man, this is a micro managing priss pot....you guys have some awful tastes..

Did he fuck that David Oliver guy? He had the aids.

80s icon?

I’ve never heard of the guy. And to support your “icon” status, you list two movies?

He was a '90s icon.

He was one of the Jamies on Another World, which by law had to be played by a gay or gay adjacent gentleman.

Not all Jamie’s are gay.

Not all Jamie's whats are gay, r98?

Richard Bekins aged well, too.

Larry Lau who apparently may well be straight or bi....but certainly plays gay nicely.

[quote] 80's icon Russell Todd comes out as gay

When was she in?

So, all of my grandsons on the show were cocksuckers. Ain’t that a kick in the cunt.

I wish, R103.

Larry Lau loves pussy! He ate mine.

[quote]Jason Voorhees slit his throat as he hung upside down.

Jason really missed a golden opportunity there, didn't he? I would have stripped him, and then done a hot swinging 69 session before I offed him.

You have to teach these horny young counselors a lesson.

He filled in for Don Diamont as Brad Carlton for 10 episodes on Y&R in 1993.

He filled my hole in for a weekend on Fire Island in 1995!

R54, he probably was.

Especially with those night sweats.

Does he have the aids?

What's that putrid smell?

Oh, it's just R109.

Did he fuck Thom Bierdz?

NO idea who this man is

If he's supposedly been out since at least the 90s, why is OP making it sound like he just came out?

Most of his poses posted are very Zoolander. Too much smize.....

Agreed R15. OP is a massive cunt.

However, Russell Todd looks fucking excellent for 60!

Good looking guy. Aged well.

[quote]We basically had a thread about him last year. How can you not know OP?

Because OP has a life, R82.

He obviously had to sleep with Allan Carr to get cast in Where the Boys Are, just like Maxwell Caulfield, Steve Guttenburg, John Travolta and Bruce Jenner.

It would be neat if he and Lorna Luft still keep in touch.
