Why hasn't hung Chris Isaak ever come out as gay?

He was in a John Waters movie, that is the same thing as coming out.

I never heard that he was anything other than heterosexual.

A better question would be why hasn’t he shown us his HUGE COCK.

God, I’m dying to see that thing.

Wikipedia doesn't say [italic]anything[/italic] about him being gay or even homosexual.

I get him confused with Lyle Lovett.

Wasn't he the one who dumped Margaret Cho when her kidney collapsed on the set of "All American Girl" and who complained about sex because she couldn't "cum" when he was fucking her?

[quote]Margaret Cho, the comedian and star of "All American Girl," whom he. dated last year. Cho claimed that the reason she and Chris Isaak split. up was because she talked about their dating in her stand-up act.

How could you, R4? Chris Isaak is orders of magnitude more handsome than the hideous Lovett.

As an elder ga- elder guy, he seems to be morphing into something between shamed perv Stephen Collins and Sex and the City refugee Kyle McLachlan.

With a dash of Chuck Woolery!

How do we know he has a big dick? He’s a hot guy, but being hot doesn’t always mean he has a big dick.

Acting career, I only remember him storming Hannibal Lecture’s prison?

He now looks like the janitor on Scrubs.

I wish I hadn't seen his pic at r7. He used to be so hot. Aging sucks.

R9 Margaret Cho wrote about it in her book and it's been mentioned quite a few time by people who know him.

He's still hot

[quote]I wish I hadn't seen his pic at [R7]

His nose looks weird in that picture

He's dreamy.

His nose has always looked like that, R15.

So to recap, there’s absolutely no evidence for him being anything other than straight.

That never stopped us!

R15 He used to box when he was younger and his nose was broken and had to be reconstructed.

He dated Margaret Cho, an Asian. Case closed!

At one point in the late 80’s he attempted a film career, including playing a member of the SWAT team in “Silence of the Lambs,” though he didn’t make much of an impression. He had a larger role in Bernardo Bertolucci’s “Little Buddha” (1993),” which the director made after winning Oscars for “The Last Emperor.”

Isaak played the young father of a little boy in Seattle, whom visiting monks from Nepal believe is the reincarnation of a recently deceased monk from their monastery. At first aghast at such a notion, Isaak becomes more accepting after an older male mentor of his commits suicide. Though this is a pivotal plot point, it comes out of nowhere in the story, making it seem as if previous scenes about this had been cut, leaving Isaak but little development.

The movie flopped. Isaak seems to have felt acting wasn’t his path and returned to music.

I've often wondered if he was, he sets off my gayday (typo and it stays)- as does similarly very talented crooner-actor, Dwight Yoakam.

Wishful thinking.

Chris has always had the ski slope nose--I love it.

Why was he fucking Cho? Talk about ugly and no figure.

I saw him in concert a few years ago. Still looked good, great show and I do do not think he's gay judging by his eyeing a very good looking chick in the third row. Whenever she stood up, his eyes would follow her.

I just rewatched The Silence of the Lambs and noticed he was in the opening credits and then at the film's completion, wondered why since he had three lines and was in one scene.

Who cares what he looks like?

I hate his music so much I can't bear to think about him, let alone look at him. The epitome of vapid.

R28’s post = the epitome of hyperbole

Cho ate pussy like a champ.

R28 really does want to fall in love!

Dwight Yoakum-saw him in concert too. He looked sexy as hell up there in tight jeans and his hat pulled low. Great show too.

OP is he hung because he’s gay or is he gay because he’s hung?

r10 & r22 He also had a tv show on Showtime.

[quote]So to recap, there’s absolutely no evidence for him being anything other than straight.

He's 65, never been married and no kids. Do the math, Carol.

[quote] So to recap, there’s absolutely no evidence for him being anything other than straight. He's 65, never been married and no kids. Do the math, Carol.

Yup, handwriting is on the wall

[quote] He's 65, never been married and no kids. Do the math, Carol.

Except there’s exactly zero hint of any homo relationships or same sex attraction.

Don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE for him to bat for our team.

Does he have any older brothers?

My sister went to see Hall & Oates in concert a few years back. Chris opened for them. She said Hall & Oates where hopeless but Chris was the star of the night - charismatic and entertaining.

I saw Chris Isaak in Sydney, Australia when I used to live there. Just a magical evening. What a presence - charisma overload he had. Music was intoxicating. Great great night.

Saw him at the classic West Village rock club the Bottom Line in the late 80s. He was great, awesome voice and retro cool songs. When he introduced a song he said something like if you feel like it, come on up onstage and dance. My friend, a guy always eager to get reflected glory from celebs, bolted for the stage. In the midst of crawling onto it, Chris looked down at him and said "I meant girls!" LOL! When we were exiting the club, Chris was standing by the stage talking with his manager, but he was staring at us.

staring at you in what way, R40?

R35 So in that case, gay men who are that age, with no kids, are also lying about being gay.

I've seen CI in concert more than any other performer and am seeing him again in December. Charisma to spare is right. I always want to fuck right after the concert.

That's because they cut the dream ballet, r27.

[quote]Acting career, I only remember him storming Hannibal Lecture’s prison?

He had a Showtime series that ran for three seasons.

I really enjoyed that series, very low-key and slightly surreal. I’ve thought of it with affection from time to time over the years.

He seems like a David Lynch type....was he ever in Twin Peaks?????

I saw no evidence of hungness in that video, just a huge set of knockers on the woman.

Maybe Margaret Cho thought he was hung because she's used to clits. Compared to one of those, 6 inches is huge!

Special Agent Chet Desmond/Fire Walk with Me

He starred in a Bertolucci film as noted above. It has the dubious distinction of featuring Keanu Reeves as Buddha.

So now there's a need to randomly shit on white men here?

Nice job, cunts.

R52 Everyone gets shat on here, snowflake.

[quote] I saw no evidence of hungness in that video

First of all, the quality of that “HD” video in the OP is SO POOR, he could be fully nude in it and we’d barely be able to make anything out. All the uploads of it are blurry and very low-res, but the OP’s version is actually STRETCHED horizontally. Jesus Christ, OP!

Second, a super-hung guy will not always make his anaconda visible. I have known donkey-hung guys who keep it totally hidden. Matthew Modine has a massive schlong and there’s never been any sight of it in public or any pics/video.

Well, that's just rude.

This is a cute moment, but I now feel compelled to seek out this Friends episode -- the various guest stars listed in the end credits is crazy.

Another film of his was Married to the Mob where he played the guy that shoots at Dean Stockwell in the fast food drive thru and follows him as he runs out the door. Apparently he may have been friends with Jonathan Demme since he directed both MTTM and Silence.

Saw him in Los Angeles, early '90s, and it was an amazing show -- glad for this thread if only as a jumping off point for similarly shared memories.

When he was oh so pretty...

Fast forward to 4:30 in this video for a very charming short interview (he mentions Silence of the Lambs) and then stick around for a lovely rendition of my favorite song of his, “Somebody’s Cryin’”.

He’s like Elvis and Roy Orbison in one… except WAY hotter. My god, what a dreamboat.

Sorry, “Somebody’s Crying”… not “Cryin’”. Sorry Chris.

He did. The original version.

Love Chris Isaak.

I saw him in concert and, as others have said, he was terrific. My only complaint was the show was too short.

Wicked Game is one of my all-time favourite videos. My God, he was so sexy in it.

His song featured in Eyes Wide Shut, Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing is so memorable.

His Christmas album is terrific.

[quote] He did. The original version.

He did what now?

I don't have the best gaydar but he trips it (I don't think he is hot-just average & not my type).

I think he is bi (like M. Cho) & will never come out due to his rabid female fan base.

Is there something about him that suggests bi to you, R65? Anything or things specific?

I *want* to believe.

Chris Isaak has been able to make a career out of one Top Ten hit, Wicked Game. Had he not been so handsome he would have been forgotten by now.

Basically what R35 said plus his real dating life of women. The poster above mentioned the guy jumping up on stage story again & it sounds like it rattled his closet doors somewhat. I don't think a straight guy with San Fran ties (like Huey Lewis for example) would've batted an eyelash over that.

I think Cho bonded with him over their mutual bisexuality but won't out him over any possible wrongdoing due to a potential backlash.

R67 I agree.

Looking a little rough around the edges now.

Adored him, and the equally dreamy song and video at the time, too.

Chris fucked both men and women with his big cock when he was younger.

I want the videos!

According to Groupiedirt there is an unconfirmed rumor that Chris Isaak can give himself a blowjob and sometimes likes to demonstrate this talent at parties.

Christopher Joseph Isaak (born June 26, 1956), Stockton, California, 65 year old..

I remember Cameron Diaz being mad that he had grabbed her or made some sort of inappropriate remark or gesture at an awards show.

When asked about whether it was Isaak or Ewan McGregor who had upset her she said Ewan is a complete gentleman unlike.......

More details R71.

[quote] "At one point in the late 80’s he attempted a film career"

He's no Dwight Yoakam. Of course, for all his talent (I love him in music and film), Dwight wasn't ever physically attractive. I'd love to see Dwight Yoakam do more films.

He had his own Showtime sitcom for a while. It was a running cock teasing joke as to when he'd show his butt. I don't think he ever did. I gave up waiting for it. It was back when cable shows were known for their nudity.

Helena Christensen is so boring in that Wicked Game video.

in response to the poster above about the way Chris was looking at me and my friend as we were exiting the Bottom Line gig, it was kind of like he was sizing us up and bemused. I don't think he's homophobic, he is from the S.F. Bay area. There was a shot of him in a wrestling singlet that appeared in I think Us magazine that clearly showed how big his dick was, I can't find it online.

He grew up poor.

Don't think he's gay

Has Asian fetish, just like Wesley snipes

Damn, R80! I would love to see that singlet photo. In the meantime I’m willing to scour the Internet for video and pictures of him where his VPL might be visible. I’m a bit of an expert at detecting it.

Thanks for the response to my query.

Needless to say, but please report your findings here at ASAP...

The pic of him with Bridget Fonda reminds me that one of her final on screen appearances was on Isaak’s tv show. Hard to believe that was almost 20 years ago now.

Of course Chris loves the d. Here is the proof!

yes, he loves dick. His own dick. He can suck it himself.

Here's a photo of him in a wrestling singlet but his hands are in the wrong place.

That’s it R87 — I think that’s the picture mentioned above. Look to the left of his hands (our left). You can see his massively long schlong going down his right thigh.

Here, I’ve lightened the photo using my phone’s basic photo editing software, so you can see it better.

I’m shocked that people know their phone has basic photo editing features let alone how to actually work it.

Margaret Cho has a number of nude paintings of Chris Isaak in her collection.

another one from the Cho collection.

LOL — are those really by Cho?

R93. No. Just part of her art collection.

She even has a black velvet painting.

he's still single at his advanced age, no kids and into Asians! .do the math!

What the hell, Margaret Cho. Those paintings are awful.

[quote] yes, he loves dick. His own dick. He can suck it himself.

I wonder if he can go all the way down to the balls like Joe Rogan can.

R94 it looks like the artist may have included Margaret Cho in that painting.

From those paintings, we now know that Chris Isaak has large and low-hanging balls.

Because he’s not, OP?

Chick's Tracts. That's what those paintings remind me of.

Fantasy Isaak

Someone loves to draw Chris

The wrestling singlet photo is all the proof we need. Dude’s hung big, just as Cho and others have said. Let’s move on from those amateur fantasy paintings, shall we?

Homophobe and sexist.

R104 Never.

After 17-years of abuse (and being fired), the lighting director had had enough!

R103 OMG, is he with Elvis? Hilarious.

R105, your link says nothing of the sort.

He is demonstrably neither homophobic nor sexist. You have reading comprehension problems.

Nice try, I guess.

I wonder if Margaret Cho has all these paintings hanging in the same room or spread throughout her home.

Thank you for the Isaakporn art. I’d never seen those before. Some look like he posed for them.

R110 Judging from the photo she probably has them hanging erratically through her place.

She's even got a painting of Joan Rivers hanging above her fireplace.

I’ve met her a few times…a truly sweet, funny gal.

^^^and quirky, so get her John Waters-like embrace of the absurd.

Her house has definite future Tasteful Friends splattered erratically all over it.

I think Isaak is close to his family, his mother and brothers so maybe he doesn’t want to be married. When I lived in SF he was always seen with Asian American women.

It would have worked out perfectly if he married Margaret Cho. They could be each other's beard and nobody would question anything.

Nobody but the sleuths here at Datalounge

I've always thought of him as the male version of KD Lang. They even have the same hairdo.

One of my sisters would always cite him as a very unattractive man. I disagreed & noted that he was viewed as very attractive in many circles. She could never grasp that concept.

The only thing “off” about his face when he was young, was his jacked up nose (from boxing—it was broken 11 times). He’s always been very handsome otherwise, and pretty conventionally so.

Of course lots of people don’t even find the nose bothersome.

I saw her once many years ago on the streets in the village area. It was summer time and she had these nasty tats...just so ugly. her hair was greasy looking too.

I remember in one of the interviews, he mentioned that he has room in his house that is exactly the same as his own room when he was a child...diagnose that DL. what kind of person does this?

I don't think that's the same singlet photo I saw because i remember the dick was much more noticeable. It was a long time ago, the 80s, so my memory is a bit weak but I seem to recall it being a white or light-colored singlet. But it seems at one point he was courting the gays to get fans and publicity.

what do you think he's worth? he was never that big, kind of a cult type celeb singer. One hit, a couple of albums that sold well but weren't top ten. But he parlayed that into acting gigs and a Showtime series. He must be comfortable, but not super rich.

300 million is my guess

Back in the day I thought this was hilarious. Chris giving a sightseeing tour while a gun is pointed at him.

he grew up dirt poor, I'm sure he's more than comfortable now esp he writes his own songs and his music has been used in many shows and movies.

He doesn't live far from the city where he grew up.

“He is demonstrably neither homophobic nor sexist. You have reading comprehension problems.”

Actually, ding dong, Isaak was made aware of the homophobic and sexist environment his tour manager created and did NOTHING. I would safely consider that inaction to be an indication of him being at least passively homophobic and sexist. I basically don’t give a shit either way.

Also, white men who have an Asian woman fetish are generally assholes. You wanna give him a waiver because you jerk off to him, fine.

I don’t give a shit what you think of him either way, actually R131, and I would wager the vast majority of people in this thread don’t either.

[quote]he grew up dirt poor

He had to do the casting couch routine early on. Nothing wrong with letting a few guys suck him off to get his career started.

I have a very hard time believing Chris Isaak is homophobic and would condone anything like that at all. You can't believe one article. Most likely someone on Isaak's crew may have said something in passing that Chris was not even a part of. The guy was fired so he had to lay the blame somewhere.

Chris plays just for you!!

I think Chris is very comfortable since he tours a lot. Obviously COVID affected that income but pre-COVID he was a consistent touring artist and, as others have pointed out here, he's great in concert so he's developed a reputation as a solid live performer.

Beautiful painting of Chris all in blue.

Chris Isaak's nose has been broken a number of times. You can see remnants of it here but it's really not bad.

Golden Boy.

Re: Chris’s wrestling singlet photo, it looks like it’s from Rolling Stone magazine (a 1991 issue). Would he have posed in more than one wrestling singlet at the time? That doesn’t seem very likely. Wasn’t he a boxer, not a wrestler?

Anyway, you can find that old issue of rolling stone for sale online, but I can’t find any scans of the photos.

Watching his 2012 concert on AXS right now and he was such a sexy guy. I always wondered about those gay rumors.

Did Chris Isaak actually pose for those painting that Margaret Cho owns?

Wow, someone who aged even more poorly than Robert Sean Leonard....

He flew... I can't say it... st... st.... STEERAGE in the 1990s. My niece has a pic of her and him (she's blond and looked like a young Lauren Bacall at that time).

I saw him live not too long ago, it was a great show. But yeah, time stops for no one and pretty boy no more.

Always liked Chris Isaak, goodlooking, sensitive eyes,, unusual nose,, kissable lips,, strong shoulders,, masculine hands, sexy hairy forearms, hypnotic singing voice, musical, poetic, charismatic, humorous, intelligent, conversational, civilized, and his alleged huge penis... He's often been the main attraction of my erotic fantasies during his Wicked Game era, absolutely dreamy guy. I'm smitten. He still looks good. :-)

When he was young, CI was a gorgeous sexy hairy beast, he definitely had the IT factor.

I can't figure out why it annoys me when users here confidently insist guys are gay when they are straight for all we know. It happens so often.

He was sexy as hell in the "Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing" video.

I always liked him because he had a great self-deprecating sense of humor and seemed very down to earth.

[Quote] He's 65, never been married and no kids. Dated Margaret Cho . . .

And is left handed

So, all straight men are supposed to get married and reproduce? What is this? The 19th-century?

Well, he did star in a John Waters movie, so there's that.

He is straight. I worked in a hotel in the late 90s and he stayed with us for two weeks. He had a stream of great looking Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai) women in and out of his suite constantly.

He was pretty much an invisible guest and paid his bill, so in that regard, he was great.

Ask the 1990s OP

Good-looking successful hung man dates fat ugly crass Asian woman. That's "coming out," OP.

[quote]He had a stream of great looking Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai) women in and out of his suite constantly.

Did they have dicks tucked into their fishnets?

What side does he part his hair on? That will be the deciding factor.

He parts his hair on the left side and not the deciding Gay Right side - so the jury is still out.

I'm pretty sure I bought this CD in 1986 without having heard it.

There have been rumors that he can suck his own cock and has been known to show off his abilities at parties.

R160, Can I be invited to the next one?

Lots of frustrated angry homos taking it out on someone who happens to be a very handsome talented entertainer and musician. Unhappy campers, heal yourselves.

This venue is just four blocks from my apartment.

I tried to watch Little Buddha last night. He was worse than Keanu.

Margaret Cho is a lucky woman to have had the opportunity to feast on his meaty cock and big balls.

Margaret has good taste in men. Her current is a cutie, Rocco. Unfortunate tats though.

He just hasn't found the right gal!

What a wicked thing to say OP!

God, he is hot and that voice. Wicked Game is definitely one of my all time favorites and I even like a lot of the covers. The song reminds me of this scene in 90210 when Brenda and Dylan were making out in his convertible and it was so hot. Oh, Luke Perry was so hot too and reminds me a bit of Chirs Isaak, RIP, Luke.

Blue Hotel is my current fave - so haunting and that guitar sound kills.

If you come out when your career is hot, you risk losing everything; if you wait and come out later, you're blasted for not coming out earlier.

You really can't win.

I don’t think he is gay. Just one of these creepy white straight man with an Asian woman fetish.

You definitely could not come out and be a heart throb in the mid 90's. Everything about Chris is dreamy and sexy - his looks, his voice. Some people don't want to picture him with a big cock in his mouth, sadly.

[quote]Looking a little rough around the edges now.

As one so often does at age 65.

I don't think Chris Isaak is at all gay. It usually isn't a big deal for a musician to come out anyway.

[quote]Why hasn't hung Chris Isaak ever come out as gay?

Probably because he's one of those celebrities who are only gay on DL.

Instead of coming out as gay, I'd rather Chris Isaak just show the world his meat.

I saw a guy in the Auto wearing Chris Issac clothes, good he was sexy all dressed up.

His birthday was yesterday.

Happy birthday to Chris and his enormous (and hopefully still functional) penis.

Chris Isaak just turned 66 years of age.

R177 twenty years too late I don’t wanna see it anymore.

Wasn't there a story way back of him abusing a girlfriend? He's into boxing, so we know he likes to hit people.

Op, Chris Isaak hasn't come out as gay, because he's not gay!

Who's that girl in the OP video? Ive always found her to be so so beautiful.

His music sucks, but he was handsome.

Helena Christensen was in the Wicked Game video. She has a son with Norman Reedus. That must be one genetically blessed kid.

Thank you r186

The Champ!!!

R177 - I'd rather he presented his hairy hole.

Anyway, he isn't gay because I've never seen him with a handbag, he doesn't worship the Golden Girls and never says 'fabulous'.

He’s not gay and I have not heard that he was beating up his girlfriends. He sounds like a messy bitch though.

Had to look up old threads about him on DL when I saw this amazing pic of him on Reddit. Perfect face, great hair, hairy forearms, I bet those eyes are a bright blue, too. And then I read he had never married. But the consensus here seems to be that he's straight, darn it!

[quote] "Chris has always had the ski slope nose--I love it."

I love that nose too, R25. Richard Nixon, the perpetually unfunny Bob Hope, & husband of DL fave Beth Howland, the adorable Charles Kimbrough all had similar noses.
