Shaun Cassidy

Too skinny and girly. I preferred Parker.

He was my first celebrity crush. Sexy voice, sexy tight pants.

All the Cassidys had huge dicks.

Shaun always seemed to have a rather feminine look to me, there were things about him I found attractive but Parker Stevenson was more of a turn on for me. Now Parker Stevenson's look then just seems to be a take off of Farrah Fawcett.

He was so cute back in the day when I was a gayling but now...eww.

Boing

I'm several years younger than Mark Hamill who was really my first real crush at 11/12. I am so glad my 12 year old self back had such prescience and good taste. And Hamill still appears to be a good guy after all these years.

My sisters were into Sean Cassidy.

It was a catchy song.

He and I made love, but it was so that I could get to and control David, finally.

David, his half-brother, and Shirley Jones, his mom, both had great voices. Shaun’s is nothing special. He was considered cute and wore tight clothes which made him popular. See Leif Garrett.

He really resembles his mother.

Yuck, never understood the attraction. But there was some inexplicable other "heartthrobs" at around that time - Leif Garrett, Henry Winkler, Paul Michael Glaser, Lance Kerwin, Phillip McKeon. Some real "unique" idols from that period of time. And i didn't find David Cassidy very appealing although he had a pretty great smile that made up for it.

Tomorrow is Shirley’s birthday. She will be 87.

I saw the Cassidy (half) brothers in “Blood Brothers” on Broadway with Petula Clark as the mom.

David Cassidy played the poor troubled brother and was a talented dramatic actor. Shaun played the brother who was adopted by a posh family. He had a sweet tenor voice that was quite legit - not as strong as his dad Jack Cassidy but a sweet soulful Irish tenor sound. They were both very good in the show.

There is another brother Patrick Cassidy who has done a lot of musical theater as well.

I'm so horny!

My dead stepson had a huge dick!

Shirley Jones swears her long life is from her masturbation addiction. Come on, get happy! Messin' with her flappy.

Patrick was the only hot one from that family. He should have had a bigger career.

I had a crush on both David and Sean, in that order. It was only about a year apart, but I was a kid, I had probably already had two or three other crushes in between them. But looking back I think David was better looking - nicer hair and had a great smile, Sean was quite bland.

Can't believe I mispelled that, "Shaun", not Sean.

There's also Ryan Cassidy who had a recurring role on DL fave The Facts of Life

Is Shaun Cassidy still alive.

Any recent photo's?

David Cassidy died from Alzheimer's.

No, R23, he drank himself to death.

Whatever pleases you, r24.

He could have ha both, right?

r27 yes. my mom has dementia and was a severe alcoholic for years (she hasn't drank for several years though because my dad won't let her...she gets to smoke instead). Pretty sure her dementia is a result of taking chlor-trimeton, a first gen antihistamine which has shown to cause dementia with long term use, for her hay fever.

I was waaaayyy hotter because...chest hair...

R29 Camel toe

R22, no pics but updates on Shaun.

I preferred David, but I might've had a Shaun Cassidy album or single--I'm seeing a satin baseball jacket?

I knew Shaun back in the 70s. He was dating a friend of a friend ( a much older Playboy Bunny who used to be involved with James Caan.) He was a real prick and homophobic. He and Patrick were both regulars at the Playboy Mansion. I worked with Patrick later. He was nicer than Shaun, not terribly bright though.

Shaun looked like a girl especially with that hair. Total turn off.

[quote]R22: Any recent photo's?

Oh, fucking dear.

R21 Didn't he die when Eden's Edibles burnt down ?

Shaun's concert performances (lots of them on Youtube) were and are incredibly hot, close to obscene. Tight jeans, big cock, butt-wiggling, hair-flipping. Arrogant as hell, which is part of the appeal.

I saw BLOOD BROTHERS on Broadway. David came out of the stage door and met fans and signed autographs. Shaun ignored the fans and made for the limo.

It was his long, flowing hair that made Shaun a hottie. We need to bring back that hairstyle.

He had perky buttocks. He had his pants specially tailored to lift and separate them.

Parker Stevenson was my jerk off fantasy, so cute and that fuzzy chest just did it for me.

"she hasn't drank"

Oh, dear!

did Shaun have any other big hit besides The Doo-Run-Run"?

All I recall about his post-teen idol years is that he successfully produced some television shows. He married a couple of times (once to the older Playboy bunny mentioned upthread) and had a bunch of kids.

Although a lot of the family had fallen out with David in his troubled final years, they were all at his bedside when he died a few years ago. Shaun posted some really moving tweets afterward. Sad.

Didn’t Marty Engels cite Shaun in particular as treating him like shit?

Not sure whose side to take there...

Jack Cassidy had to be identified by dental records, his body was so scorched.

[quote]There's also Ryan Cassidy who had a recurring role on DL fave The Facts of Life

I completely forgot about Ryan. This is a picture from 2018. He aged well.

R42, The Playboy model I referred to was Shelia Ryan, married to James Caan for about tho seconds. (Mother of Scott Caan). Shaun married Ann Pennington.

This is a tribute Shaun did last year to David. He talks about their relationship before he sings one of David’s old PARTRIDGE FAMILY songs. Very touching.

Definitely not his best look despite serving moose knuckle.

There was a really good early SVU episode in which Patrick Cassidy and Will Arnett played child diddlers who belonged to the same secret club.

Check this out:

Or this:

Shaun has no chin.

Wish Shaun had gone the nude route like David. Would kill to see the outtakes of the David sessions.

I few up in the 1970s and I never understood most of the teen idols the girls would swoon over, both Cassidy boys included. I always thought Shaun was flat out ugly.

when I see old covers of Tiger Beat, I realize most of the guys were 7's -- not the 9's or 10's the headlines made them out to be.

They were fives, but their hairstyles were tens.

Those unfortunate bowl haircuts.

I think Shaun was an eight who learned to work it like a ten.

Zac Efron reminds of David Cassidy -- not bad looking, but not actually sexy, not all that comfortable with what he was doing.

Whereas Shaun clearly looovvvvved being a teen idol.

Shaun Cassidy was before my time so I looked him up and was surprised that he's been a very successful tv producer. From Wiki:

[quote]He has created and/or produced a number of television series including American Gothic, Roar, Cold Case, Cover Me, The Agency, Invasion, and Emerald City. Cassidy currently serves as executive producer and writer for NBC's medical drama New Amsterdam.

He has EIGHT kids!

Today would have been David Cassidy’s 71st birthday.

Remembering him...

Shirley's OK, but I don't think I'd want her as a mom or grandma. She always seems a bit fed up.

Who was the gay Assidy?

Jack Assidy

Shaun, Leif or Andy who was the hottest!

Shaun always looked feminine to me. Plus “Shaun.” Spell it Sean already.

He looks exactly like his mother.

Budding bondage fetishists loved seeing him bound and gagged more than once on "The Hardy Boys". Once by Parker Stevenson himself. Very very hot.

Wow he is quite unfortunate looking.

the Cassidy brothers are to Dorothy Hamill as Anne Murray is to Walter Mercado

Shaun's hair should be in the Smithsonian.

Shaun covers Bowie.

It was a ring r44.

^ It was a butt plug.

Has Susan Dey commented?

Really interesting details about Jack Cassidy’s death (despite the occasional punctuation errors in the piece).

David was my love growing up. I new I was gay when I saw him and wanted to fuck and be fucked by him. During my formative gayling years, he was my fantasy, my ideal sex partner, husband, and hairdresser. Looking back, I think I was in love with his hair.

[quote] occasional punctuation errors

Gasp! FF and BLOCKED.

He was so hot.

They ALL play second fiddle to Mrs. Sal Mineo.....Bobby Sherman.

He made me want to touch myself.

Sherman was too wholesome. Shaun (in live concert videos) was dangerously hot.

R15, I prefer Forbidden Broadway's take on Blood Brothers (Mug Brothers).

First crush was Shaun, then I moved onto Andy Gibb, then Rick Springfield, then Jon Bon Jovi.

R82, thanks for that. That was part of the show when I saw it in London in 1999, then I saw Pet Clark at her PBS concert in the US two years later.

Also this:

I always thought that Shaun was the ugliest Cassidy brother. He always had a goofy expression on his face and he looks exactly like Shirley Jones, that’s an instant boner killer.

After seeing him portray a retarded man in a movie of the week, I cannot unsee the retard face.

Wasn’t Bobby Sherman gay?

R88, of course Bobby Sherman is gay! Every male mentioned on DataLounge is gay! It's just that the majority of them don't know it, won't accept it, and are on the down-low. Bobby is no exception... his two marriages, the first lasting 8 years and his current marriage are shams, covers for his insatiable desire for cock!

Oy and vey, must this question always be asked?

i don't know maybe it's me, but as a gayling in the 1970's i was attracted and turned on by M-E-N! not boys..... give me old reruns of steve reeves, reg park movies, mike henry tarzan, reb brown, gil gerard, lee majors, robert horton, jorge rivero, and the one and only ultimate clint walker....

Didn't every Playboy Bunny used to be involved with James Caan at one time or other?

R87 No emoting required. He was born with retard face.

It was common knowledge in NY theater circles back in the day that Reeve swung both ways.

^^Sorry, wrong thread!

Sherman may not have been gay, but he certainly wasn't above sleeping with men to advance his career. Same thing with his "Here Comes The Brides" co-star, David Soul.

Great article, R75. Thanks!

You’re welcome, R96. I thought it was interesting.

My vagina smells like vomit.

I got his album when I was 10 and it came with a poster of him which I hung on my wall. My two brothers used to tease me about it. They were 15 and 17 so Shaun was lame to them.

I had to fight for the tv on Sunday nights (the days of one to per family) to watch The Hardy Boys.

The Hardy Boys. The hair. The bulges.

A PG rated Shaun, not the nearly X rated concert version.

[quote]R99 I had to fight for the tv on Sunday nights (the days of one to per family) to watch The Hardy Boys.

The trials and tribulations of a gay childhood can begin early.

He was so hot.

Bump

I had a preteen crush. Sad to hear that he's a jerk. His teeth remind me of Liza. Are they real?

He never had a chin but now he has a gobbler.

Shaun nowadays...

Have we heard from Susan Dey?

Shaun is 63 now. Married three times, eight kids.

Is he Mormon? Does James Vander Beek regard him in awe?

I only watched the Hardy Boys for Parker Stevenson, preppy cute with fuzzy chest and treasure trail, he looked good in the movie Lifeguard with Sam Elliott too. Shaun did absolutely nothing for me, but my sister liked him briefly, we both adored Andy Gibb, all that chest hair, tight pants, and sexy hip action, damn! I knew early on I was a gay boy. lol

He’s very nice on social media. He seems grateful and humble now. He and Dominique Dunne were great friends since childhood in Beverly Hills.
