Fetching newshound James Longman gets hitched

Nice suit!

What's with the fist-bump in the last photo? I dislike this constant need that some people have to show that they're "winning at life", or whatever it is he's trying to get across. It also seems like a particularly unsuitable attitude to display at a wedding.

Awww. I remember like 4 years ago, we had the James Longman thread series. They were a lot of fun. I also discovered instaclone models Sean Daniels and Sam Cushing through those threads. Good times.

James is the bottom, right?

I like to imagine James using his "newsman" voice

as he says things like, "Please fuck my bussy!"

I like their suits.

The matching outfits are naff.

I thought he was already married. Congratulations to him!

I had to unfollow him on Instagram because he makes me feel bad about myself and everything about my life.

[quote] James is the bottom, right?

??? If he is, he and the new Mrs. Longman will spend many nights scissoring.

They're doing the lookey-likey thing

Gio and Tommy are green with envy…

r3 I also recall those threads. "Longman and his friends" I think they were called. They were as popular as the Julian Morris threads. But, DL changes all its darlings eventually.

^ He became a bore.

[quote] If he is, he and the new Mrs. Longman will spend many nights scissoring.

Surely, there's one hard dick between the two of them.

I'm not going to reveal any secrets...

Let's just say the new Mrs. Longman had her hole bleached before the big day!

[quote]I also discovered instaclone models Sean Daniels and Sam Cushing through those threads.

Don't forget Tomasz Schafernaker, who is adorable but seemed to have a storyline as the wallflower of the group.

It's maddening! It violates even the most pedestrian societal mores and standards of decorum! How dare a gay couple have the audacity to announce their marriage without clearly stating who is the top and who is the bottom?! Civilization is on the precipice of collapse!

They're both hot

Think Alex Brannan is 27? So only 9 years younger. Not bad, but you can always count on the famous one having a younger partner.

Congrats James!

R20: I remember seeing a post where they celebrated Alex’s 30th birthday, but unfortunately I can’t seem to find it right now…

Natural curls

And let’s not forget James’s former ‘Bestie’, Timmy @tim.worlock

It’s too bad that a new relationship almost always gets in the way of old friendships

Whilst one friend opted for ltr, the other one went for the much more exciting Single & Body Beautiful route!

And artistic Tomasz, still handsome

[quote]It’s too bad that a new relationship almost always gets in the way of old friendships

Tell me about it!

The British teef troll is oddly silent. Funny that.

Are either of the Longmans from families with money?

R29: well, they both went to fee-paying schools, plus their family homes look rather spacious, especially Alex’s.

So my guess would be upper middle class

I am insanely jealous of rich, attractive gay couples who appear happy.

DL, please say something horrible about them to quell my discontent.

Neither of them has won an Oscar like Tom Daley's husband. Does that help, darling?

Like most gay couples who get married, they're already sick of having sex with each other.

The threesomes/separate sex dates are already underway and will tear them apart within about five years. Just in time for them to be too old to find love again.

This, x 10000

[quote] Like most gay couples who get married, they're already sick of having sex with each other.

It's not that they get sick of having sex with each other: they just enjoy variety. Most straight married men would do it to if their female partners had the same mindset. Usually that's not the case.

Instinct mag

Visibility in the mainstream media is good for the gay community

David Muir should follow James lead and marry Kyle !

Hello!

Bringing it to the masses

“Fetching?” Is that because of all the Golden Retriever energy going on?

Was it a Miami Vice themed wedding?

Longman's father committed suicide. He has spoken about inheriting that depression.

I can almost guarantee he has used his mental illness to keep Lex-Lex from choosing a younger model.

And when things go south—and they will—it's going to get ugly.

His husband’s foxy.

Fetching or felching

I do wonder how long this will last. What does Lex do for a living? Is he another Tommy Didario-Benitez?

I think Alex is in marketing, or insurance, or customer support ; anyhow an office based admin type of job.

His family seems quite well off. As y’all might recall from the engagement video, the backyard seems humongous, and if it sits on a prime real estate area [maybe British DLers can help us out here], just the land alone would worth quite a lot of money. But of course he’d probably have to share it with his sisters

R43: James actually cried when his late father was mentioned during the marriage registration

^ I guess some fundamental/primeval wounds are never fully healed…

Have Gio and Tommy commented yet?

James could do better tbh.

R51: agreed

Didn’t he used to be a pass around bottom back in the day?

James put in the effort of staying hot when you’re old and was rewarded with a young, sexy husband. Really puts into perspective how much of a complete failure I am 😂

A rather disturbing pic with Diane

Cage Méat fan from MidWest

Is James' husband a Brit too?

R58: yes. And you can listen to his podcast here

r59 Wow, a podcast that lasted from October to December, with ten episodes in total. Commitment issues?

Wow. The replies on twitter are so nasty. and hateful.

R60: I think it’s more like running out of people to interview issue owing to the rather limiting theme of the show

I mean how many late coming out gays and lesbians can you round up in London to keep your show going?

Four very, very nice thighs on this couple.

Alex's family lives in the Cotswolds. UK DLer's - is that a posh area?

R55

Diane doesn’t have her face on, she looks good for her age.

So catty of him to post that photo of Diane.

Yet Gio’s still stuck with that loser Tommy.

[quote] He became a bore.

And he became too smarmy.

James Longman's version of 'Pride' is an overweening, preening, self-regarding vanity.

[quote] James actually cried when his late father was mentioned during the marriage registration

MARY!!!

Happy family

^ is he wearing socks?

^ seems like it

Ugh. Never wear socks!

“James put in the effort of staying hot when you’re old and was rewarded with a young, sexy husband”

Jesus Christ that is a depressing comment. I looked up how old he is - he is only 36!!!

Butch af

Congrats to the happy couple, but it’s not going to take more than a few years before they regret those suits for the rest of their lives.

R77: I’m so glad you said that. This double breasted madness that has been going on for the last few *years* has just got to fucking STOP

These two are actually very fit and quite good looking. Gio and Tommi could learn something from them as they're basically the same age.

Gio looks malnourished and Tommy constantly looks like his last two remaining brain cells are doing everything to keep the lights on

^Stop it! lol Tommy is quite stupid. Duh duh duh

Sweaty

For this alone, James will always be my Hero

^ unhelpful, condescending queen

James has an interesting way of walking

Busy busy

Is he of the Jewish variety?

Who did James do news better with-

Robin Roberts or David Muir?

The homo and the dyke. Gay Morning America!

Ugh he’s so hot and will be on the air for the next 10 days round the clock for the Queen’s services. This is his Walter Cronkite moment.

Camaraderie 1

Camaraderie 2

His looks are going and do not appear poised to be replaced by sexy, craggy middle aged man.

Oh well, it never lasts forever.

Going? not so fast!

He's handsome. He is not youthful. I know the black woman to the right but who's that older woman to the left?

Mini honeymoon

Tennis white

[quote]His looks are going

Of course they are. This is DL!

No one successful, or worse – happ-Eee – and especially if a gay male, is permitted anything but a fast schadenfreude slide to decrepitude. It's impermissable!

James is such a bottom!

^ I know, right?!

I clicked on this because I thought it was felching and now I'm disappointed.

R100: Felching is by and large rather disapproved of on DL, and threads on Felching never took off

This is the representative sentiment I’m afraid

Throwback: Out and about

Apparently the Queen's favourite weatherman was Thomas Schaudenfreude or whatever his name was.

I’d eat their asses.

R103 Well, she did love her gays.

R103: indeed

[quote]The reason? She [QE II] had developed an unexpected affection for BBC weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker. 'It was like a bit of a crush; she always wanted to watch the forecasts when he was on,' says a close figure. 'She was amused hearing the cadences when his name was read out but she loved watching him, too.'

^ link

Throwback: cuter with short hair

Without context, at R82 he seems smarmy and passive aggressive (did he really not like the people he was with?), and as r82 said, unhelpful and condescending.

David Muir was the biggest Queen of all today.

James farted on air today. Poor James.

Is Tomasz as gay as well?

Gay news anchors are one of my most enjoyed DL topics. I don’t know why, but they put me in stitches.

R112:

[quote] The 42-year-old Polish-British meteorologist, who lives alone despite being an out and proud gay man, is a regular fixture on the BBC's weather shows, and is also a keen part-time artist.

Throwback: from 2010

Me time

And here’s the cute trainer, Tom @tomtrotter_ [on the right of course]

Ring off at the gym... and in the sauna?

I mean, just look at this

R118: maybe the ring gets in the way of a good workout…? I mean, literally

I'm a bit disappointed with the gym selfie. I thought he was more substantive. Granted, it's a one on the Matthew Dempsey scale, but I still expected better than look at me.

I just had to ask myself: could the A gays be earning Fs in self-esteem?

Meanwhile, across town, Samantha was nowhere to be seen.

[quote]I'm a bit disappointed with the gym selfie. I thought he was more substantive

Anyone that puts that much work into their body is going to be proud of it and wants to show it off.

Which is vain and unattractive. The guy's a reporter for a national network and he's gotta settle for look at me, I'm so hot? Kinda lame.

His partner isn't attractive at all.

R124: yes, but Alex does make attempts like bringing baked goods to James, so there’s that

Draining

R124 Yup, he's young, not attractive. He won't age well.

He’s a pocket little homo.

Quite big tits

Throwback: 2020

Do Alex and James dock their uncut penises? That seems like the most sex either are interested in with each other.

This is based on? ^

Based on the fact that while both are handsome, neither seem overly sexual in nature, R132

You deem neither overly sexual based on what?

Between their British sense of propriety and lack of thirsty social media pictures showing sizemeat, R134.

I expect hot people in the public eye to show us the goods if they have them.

R135 wants a dick pic, asap.

Omg

Throwback: in India

More throwback: even sexier gym selfie

Back in the day

Extended pyjamas party…?

He’s a cute homo.

[quote]'She was amused hearing the cadences when his name was read out but she loved watching him, too.'

"Tomasz Snickerdoodle! Hee-hee!"

He looks good here

Autumn Colours

I wonder if they have an open relationship. They don’t seem at first glance to be frequent partygoers.

I imagine them drinking tea and eating cookies and kissing each other lightly on the lips, before going to sleeping

^ going to SLEEP

I always thought he seemed like a decent guy, but that video of him sitting in the car bitching about the other guys who were trying to fix it made him seem like a high maintenance nightmare.

Good luck to his husband.

My take on the car video was an attempt at humour but he's one of those people who can't pull of that kind of humour without seeming bitchy and high maintenance. Also, it's either big ego or big insecurity, but all those cliched gym selfies and such point to someone with high neediness or high self regard, neither of which really lends itself to being able to laugh at yourself easily or others kindly. On the scale of manufactured A gays he still seems more tedious than intolerable. From bad to worse on that scale you'd have James Longman, Billy Eichorn and Matthew Dempsey.

The (not so) little woman really smells the cookies.

Is he gayer than Gio Benitez?

With Ms @cheddar_gorgeous

Gurls just wanna have fun

Do we think Nicky and James and Alex enjoy thruways with each other? Because I do.

^ Don’t they need a top though?

I always thought Nicky was vers. Mainly because he has Jew dick that I would love to take.

If they do, R160, I'm sure they're in a Tesla or something climate sensitive.

Throwback: Golden Tits

Popular lad in Ukraine

Ahem

In action

Sweet interruption

I wonder if the two women are just good friends, or are they ex-lovers?

Regardless, it’s heartwarming

War puppies

Is he getting any ukrainian cock? I know he’s married but hubby isn’t with him and James is an admitted horndog.

r171: really, that James is an admitted horndog?! How did he get that reputation? Please spill!

Now in Thailand

Any UK DL-ers had him or his husband? If so please tell in explicit detail.

Who do we think is the top in this marriage? My money is on James.

^ double headed dildo?

Anti-hero

I'm not a fit guy like these two - nor am I a fat whore - but the idea of getting up to workout daily on vacation defeats the purpose of the trip in my book.

Thai drag queens are so much prettier

Some Thai ladyboy is having the time of their lives this week. Eat your hearts out, DL!

Does he fetch sticks or balls?

The sultry look

Alex could choke me with those vascular arms, R186.

R182 Agreed. I like to keep fit and while I might use a hotel gym once or twice on a vacation, I wouldn't be in there every day. Some people definitely have a bit of an obsession.

Another ParTay shirt

Timmy, [ex] bestie

Do we think Tim is the lucky third for these two boys?

R192: pretty sure Alex wouldn’t hear of it

How do you know he's ex?

[quote] Now a personal trainer @tim.worlock

Does he train on how to take a double penetration?

R194: because they don’t even follow each other on IG anymore

James just admitted on his Instagram Story Q-and-A that this is his first celebrity crush

So vain, so so tedious.

I see Ozempic-mania has hit the UK as evidenced by the photo in R205.

R207: thanks for pointing that out

I knew there’s something off about this very recent pic of theirs, but I just couldn’t pinpoint it

Cute…?

St James

Heart wrenching message on Father’s Day: it’s about the book that James’s writing on his late father who’s schizophrenic and died by double suicide [fire and jumping]
