Blind Item- Years ago, an up and coming young actor was taken advantage of by an A-List actor

“He rarely talks about it. It is why he has a decade long substance abuse issue. It is why he is completely secretive about his personal life. He would sometimes rage about it when he was at his darkest but that was about it. He is someone all of you know. He is foreign born. When he was starting out as a young actor, an older actor took him under his wing. An actor all of you know. An actor who is an Oscar winner/nominee. Let us call him BG. Of course BG saw promise in the young actor and introduced him to people who would really help further the career of the young actor. In return, BG would take every opportunity to get our young actor drunk or do some type of drug to make him more receptive. BG abused the hell out of our young actor. He did so until the young actor got to be a big enough star to threaten BG. So, BG did what he always did, backed off until he found another victim. Meanwhile, the promising career of our young actor took a serious sideways tilt for about a decade because of the trauma. What once looked like a solid A+/A list career has become a climb back up to A- list after a long hard fought battle against demons caused by BG.”

Op, thank you for sharing some gossip, it was way too dry in here. That said, this story is so boring. It is fun to guess the actor and the older actor smart enough to get some right desperate ass, but the victimization of the younger actor is boring.

He’s no victim. He’s just an actor that want to take a shortcut out of the slog of waiting tables and hundreds of failed casting calls. So he sold as and mouth for a career. If he was near me crying about this (if the blind is even real) I’d tell him it sounded like a good trade.

I would of said Tom Holland and RDJ.

Kevin Spacey and Wes Bentley.

Spacey won the Best Actor Award for "American Beauty."

Wes Bentley was in the cast.

Wes had a serious drug problem for about a decade, but has since recovered.

He went on to do American Horror Story, Hunger Games, and then the hit series Yellowstone.

This was so easy!

Yes to Spacey/Farrell (possibly). If I recall correctly Colin Farrell may have even lived with Kevin Spacey briefly in LA. I believe Spacey spotted Farrell in a play and then suggested him to Joel Schumaker.

by Anonymousreply 20June 8, 2023 3:41 AM

R7 no. Wes Bentley’s character is dating/fucking Thora Birch’s character. Thora Birch’s dad is Kevin Spacey, who is obsessed with his daughters best friend. Bentley’s dad thinks his son is gay and sees something through the window that makes him believe Spacey and his (underage teenage) son are fucking, leading to the man killing Spacey

The story says that the A-Lister took the new actor under his wing and got him connections etc. in exchange for his body. He would get the young actor very drunk or high to the point it was easy to get him to do it.

It never states they both actually worked together on a project.

Spacey and Farrell fit the bill.

I agree that it's most likely Spacey/Farrell but for some reason I keep thinking of Josh Hartnett. I don't know who led him down the primrose path. I do know he was a meth head for at least ten years in the wilderness but I also think he's American corn-fed.

Just out of curiosity, what drove Hartnett to the drugs? Was there a mentor on the scene?

by Anonymousreply 42June 8, 2023 5:49 AM

Because a lot of the Spacey stories are overblown. Sorry not sorry. Listen I am a Christian and don’t believe anyone in true position of power should leverage a lesser in same field and work area for sex. But I am of the believe post pubescent minors know what they want and can make sexual decisions. I don’t care, sue me. This applies for gays and straights. This puritanical superficial bullshit will be seen for what it is in the future. Is Spacey a creep, yes. A monster? No.

He’s also a name everyone knows. But I couldn’t see a reason for him to be bitter, he’s had a solid career.

R29 it’s not a crime to trade sex for access. As long as Spacey wasn’t someone’s boss, then it’s legal. And you know what, I’m a town with hundreds of starving actors as hot or hotter than the next, I don’t feel bad for those that accept sex for access.

All of these men know that they are doing and trading. Same for any actress that goes to someone’s hotel room “to talk business”. Pure bullshit, they know what’s up.

If you have to get someone drink and high so they are more willing to let you fuck them in the ass then yes, you did something wrong. And while it isn’t illegal to have transactional sex, the person who was not in power almost always ends up feeling taken advantage of and bitter with time.

As I re-read the BI, it does kind of sound like Farrell, since I don't know that anyone would describe some of the other candidates as "A-". Though from listening to him in interviews, Farrell really does that have that "AA-speak/former addict" thing down so I tend to think that if he had a story like that to tell, he'd tell it. I could see him saying that he was ashamed about it one time, but he's over it now & talks about it as part of his "healing" (or whatever).

Colin Farrell has a child with a serious disability, that’s the main reason for his depression, he has another child with a different woman too, his personal life isn’t easy, a lot of conflicts and drug abuse because he was too vulnerable. He spoke about his personal issues in an interview, I think stories from the past compared to what he’s living now are pretty irrelevant.
