Jason Streisand

OP, that article is from 12 years ago.

I heard a story that he picked up some guy at a bar, and left the trick’s house when he walked into the bedroom and this was on the wall.

If it isn’t true, it should be.

r2, I'm not even her son and I would leave the apartment if that were on my trick's wall as soon as I saw it.

He hit up a friend of mine on Grindr years ago. My friend didn't reciprocate because he knew he end up just subjecting the poor guy to endless questions about his mother.

Like so many Jewish guys, he was gorgeous in his 20s, then lost his looks entirely when he hit middle age.

Epic fail, OP. His name is Jason Gould.

He suffers from depression. I think he's gotten better in recent years, though. I wonder what will happen to him when he loses his parents? Elliot Gould is 86 and Barbra is 82. I also wonder how much of his mom's estate will go to him? I think she'll leave a lot of it to her charitable interests.

[quote]I also wonder how much of his mom's estate will go to him? I think she'll leave a lot of it to her charitable interests.

What a bitch. Her son doesn’t have any talent or skills or income. He needs the money more than a charity.

[quote]I heard a story that he picked up some guy at a bar, and left the trick’s house when he walked into the bedroom and this was on the wall.

He must have left a LOT of houses.

I’d be depressed too if my mother was Barbra Streisand. What a nightmare.

Did Jason make these ornament trees, or is he at his mother's house?

Didn't I read here that he does a decent impersonation of her? Or was that fantastical musing?

Richard Perry has passed away. He produced the Streisand albums Stoney End, Barbra Joan Streisand, Live Concert at the Forum and Emotion. He also produced Carly Simon's You're So Vain and Nillson's Without You. He was Jane Fonda's boyfriend for a few years.

I messaged him on Facebook one time to let him know someone was impersonating him. He read it but didn’t tell me “thank you”, kiss my foot, or nothing.

I wonder if Babs told him he can't come out til she's dead?

Does she mention his gayness in her autobiography?

Did he ever write the tell-all that OP posted about from 12 years ago??

Barbra and Jason - How Deep Is the Ocean (Official Video)

Excerpts from a recent article about him:

Gould says he loved to listen to music as a young boy. “I remember my first favorite record was ‘I Say a Little Prayer’ by Dionne Warwick. I had the 45 and the plastic record player you would lift. ‘Up, Up and Away’ was my other favorite song,” Gould says.

Yet, as the son of two Hollywood icons, cameras were constantly in his face. Looking back, he says his childhood was unconventional. “I wanted to be a part of the Brady Bunch because a sense of a close family was something I didn’t have,” Gould says. “My folks separated before I even remember them together. My mother was consumed with a major career, and my dad was off doing his own thing and starting another family, so that’s challenging for any child.”

A young Gould appeared in two Streisand films, “Up the Sandbox” and “The Prince of Tides,” and teen flicks like “Say Anything,” but ultimately, he walked away from an early acting career. “I was outed more than 30 years ago in the tabloids, which definitely would’ve changed the trajectory of my acting career, but I didn’t care that much,” Gould admits.

I caught up with Gould at his personally-designed Americana-themed farmhouse, that sits high atop a mountain overlooking Santa Barbara County. Now, Gould is mostly at peace with the trauma from his past. He seemed so at peace; he didn’t even flinch when a tarantula showed up during his photo shoot!

But it’s a bittersweet moment for Gould. He had to say goodbye to his beloved pup Eli just days before our interview. “My dog Eli was my best friend for the last 12 and a half years, and in a sense, I was never lonely, even though I may not have been in a relationship,” Gould says. “But even though it was incredibly sad, it was also very beautiful because he was so loved and knew it.”

“I’m not somebody who has regrets. I don’t live in the past at all. I try to live in the present as much as possible, and I don’t live in the future too much,” Gould says. “I just want to be at peace and comfortable in my own skin and integrity. So, that’s how I live my life. I do what feels right for me, and it isn’t always what other people think I should do, but that’s okay.”

Reading between the lines.....he's definitely not 100 percent on good terms with Babs.

And boy, he's had a LOT of work done.

Wonder why Barbra and Dionne never duetted.

[quote] He hit up a friend of mine on Grindr years ago

Is his profile “[U]=[U]”?

I think it was originally Chris O’Donnell who was cast to play Babs son in the prince of tides but was fired not long before shooting was to start.

he came to my place in the 90s in the Village. Met him on a phone line, yup. My British boyfriend wasn't attracted at all and didn't know who he was but I recognized him. He heard us whisper talking and probably got paranoid and let himself out. Kind of relieved actually. Not attractive really in person.

Does his Santa Barbra house have a basement mall?

I’m sure he never really needed to develop skills for a profession because of the money his parents had, but it’s weird that he doesn’t seem to do anything consistently—acting, composing, directing would be the main things to consider.

Has he ever had a partner?

In her memoir from about 20 years ago, Warwick made it known she was not too fond of Streisand back in the 60s or in the present day. I think it actually had something to do with Marty Ehrlichman back then, when she and Streisand were just starting out. Warwick never liked Aretha, either.

Jason is a grounded, kind man. He has a great relationship with both of his parents. He is very guarded when meeting people because of weird experiences over the years with people who are star struck by his parents, especially his mother.

I hate ugly assholes, you would think after someone comes to term with their gayness they would know enough to exert some care and control of their assholes, it's not that difficult.

I think he looks pretty good. I’d do him

Miss Warwick didn't much care for anyone/

I’ve always thought he was a very impressive man. I’m sorry that he has never experienced the joy of an intimate relationship with another man.

[quote]r18 article: Now, Gould is mostly at peace with the trauma from his past.

Trauma? The little nepo baby had TRAUMA?

Like what??

[Quote] I’m sorry that he has never experienced the joy of an intimate relationship with another man.

How do you know that?

I heard a rumor a few years ago that he was dating Cory Booker. No idea if that was true but it’s amusing to imagine.

He's a superb singer. He has beautiful tone and great phrasing.

[quote] I think it was originally Chris O’Donnell who was cast to play Babs son

According to O’Donnell, he was in college at the time. His roommate didn’t know about his acting career until one day the roommate answered the phone and it was Barbra Streisand calling to let Chris know she was casting her son instead.

I’ve always liked him.

Jason Gould has managed to navigate a very difficult mother/son dynamic without scandal or fame whoring. I have to give the guy a lot of credit.

And I think he's quite attractive and an underrated singer.

IIRC, he got great reviews for his role in POT in 1991, and critics were interested in what his next major acting project would be (I agreed). He was very impressive in his movie debut. Yet, he didn't push the acting career and didn't take on more major roles.

His best friend was a dog? Sounds like Social Anxiety Disorder.

I read once that he and Chastity Bono were buds as kids in Malibu, though their mothers never socialized.

I heard the same thing about Jason and Chasity - they went to the same elementary schools together, and lived not too far from each other. According to Dionne's memoir (once again), when she was a divorced single mother of two, Cher bought the house next to her. Dionne's two sons and Chasity were very good friends, and Dionne and Cher would alternate on driving the three kids to school each week (she said she was very friendly with Cher at the time, in the mid-70s). She did credit Cher for being a great mom. (I don't think Cher has mentioned DW in her memoir - I'm right at this part of her life now, where she left Sonny, but no mention of DW).

She did mention her two sons were also school / neighborhood friends with 'another little boy' who lived in the neighborhood, but his famous mom wasn't part of the 'car pool' and her son had a private driver. I always suspected she was talking about Jason and his mother Barbra.

I just want to know if he's as hairy as daddy, or has a big weiner.

R41 Dionne’s memoir would get more press by mentioning a friendship with Cher. Cher’s memoir would not get more press by mentioning a friendship with Dionne

Did Elliott Gould get a huge divorce settlement from Babs when she deserted the marriage, opening her legs to Omar Sharif?

If he does it, it probably couldn’t sell worse than his mom’s book which clearly came out 20 years too late.

R5, Jason was NEVER gorgeous.

[quote]He suffers from depression.

I didn't know that, but it would explain why he made some attempts to have a career as an actor and/or singer but never seemed serious about it.

By the way, I clearly remember that, years ago, there were reports that Jason had become HIV-positive. But I can find no information about that whatever through Google, so I guess either it was a lie OR, if true, the fact has been very well covered up.

Jason lives off a generous trust fund, he doesn’t need anything from his mother’s estate, though he’ll get plenty. R7, there are pills for depression. And Jason has enough dough for therapy the rest of his life. Perhaps his problems stem from never having a regular job.

Ha ha, R44. Streisand was cheating on Gould long before Omar Sharif. Luckily for her, Gould was already working steadily as a movie actor when they separated. They divorced two years later.

Thanks for the laugh, R34. That’s ridiculous.

R47, everyone knows he’s HIV positive.

R49, he's of the generation that being HIV+ is not a surprise--but since he's never come out and stated so, his being poz is conjecture and rumor.

He obviously doesn’t want to talk about it, R50. Why should he?

I vaguely recall that when I first read reports that Jason was HIV-positive, that would have been before the availability of all the current drugs that make the condition manageable rather than a death sentence, so if the reports were true, that might certainly have contributed to his depression.

Remember when on one of those recent concert tours, Babs told this total bullshit story about "suddenly hearing Jason sing" in the shower (?!) when Jason was in his 40s, and "NEVER KNOWING HE HAD SUCH A GREAT VOICE". And then "suddenly" Quincy Jones "begged" to record him.

Um, sure, Yeah, I believe that. Sure.

I remember that. And Mom kept repeating the story every chance she could to make sure NO one believed she pushed him into it.

And his voice was just okay.

^^^I think Jason's singing voice is better than "just okay," but I don't believe that ridiculous story either. Apparently, Streisand thinks her fans are so gullible as to believe everything she says, no matter if it's obviously B.S. (and I don't mean that abbreviation to stand for Barbra Streisand).

The problem with Jason's voice and interpretations - they make every song sound the same. He does these jazz harmonies on EVERY part of the song. His sound itself is good, nothing special.

And what the fuck is Streisand doing in his house when he's in the shower singing? So many of their photos together they look like boyfriend and girlfriend, not mother and son. It's always PERVY.

[quote]Apparently, Streisand thinks her fans are so gullible as to believe everything she says

THEY DO.

[quote]The problem with Jason's voice and interpretations - they make every song sound the same. He does these jazz harmonies on EVERY part of the song.

I don't think you mean "harmonies," I guess maybe you mean "riffs."

No, R58. Jason never sings the tune, he sings around the tune.

[quote]Reading between the lines.....he's definitely not 100 percent on good terms with Babs.

They are close, but not super close. She made it crystal clear that she wanted a grandchild from him, and would pony up any money needed to support the child. Jason was never interested and it's put a wedge between them. She has put all her energy into Josh Brolin's children instead. She and Jim are closer to Josh and his family than they are to Jason.

It looks like she bought Jason a house in Santa Barbara. He used to live on Orlando Ave. in West Hollywood.

Okay, R59, but "harmonies" is still not the correct word for that.

[quote]He read it but didn’t tell me “thank you”, kiss my foot, or nothing.

"Well, I like that! Not so much as kiss my foot or HAVE an apple!"

are there any photos of the blended families (all the kids) with Babs and James to see?

[quote]She made it crystal clear that she wanted a grandchild from him, and would pony up any money needed to support the child. Jason was never interested and it's put a wedge between them

He's gay! Most gay men don't have kids. And adoption is not always an easy go for a single gay man. What the fuck did she want him to do?

She must be such an insufferable control freak in private. Which is rich, given how she's bitched and moaned about Diana's lack of support towards her singing career.

[quote]She must be such an insufferable control freak in private.

Ya think????

R60, you’re going to need a fucking ton of links to support that crapola.. Oh please, R64, you can’t really believe that shit.

Jason must have some sort of life away from his parents. If he doesn’t at practically 60 YEARS OLD, and is totally dependent on Mommy and Daddy, he deserves what’s coming to him.

I wonder what his relationship with Auntie Roz is like. Was he fed lies his whole childhood about what a vicious, talentless monster she was?

It would really burn Babs’ ass if those two got together every week for lunch. He could use his trust fund to send fancy cars for her.

Since both are financially supported by her, it’s doubtful either will talk. And I’m willing to bet she’ll out live BOTH of them.

A guy I knew met him at a dance club in Manhattan years ago. They chatted for a bit. It took this guy a few minutes to realize who Jason was. Once he did, Jason sensed it and lost interest.

I saw him on 7th Avenue in the east 20s one afternoon. He was heading uptown. I was heading west. We looked at each other and he smiled. He seemed very sweet and unguarded.

I’ve met him- he’s a nice down to earth guy. You’d never know who his parents were if you had never heard of him. By the way- his mom has made him financially secure in her life time and no Barbra has never bad mouthed or hurt Roz in any way. She has made her financially secure as well. They are all very close and see each other regularly as part of Streisand’s extended family. But nice try fellas.

12 year old article is from the Inquirer. Does the OP know what the Inquirer is?

No, R21. This is the ENQUIRER

My friend made out with Jason backstage at one of his mom's concerts--true story

[quote]Trauma? The little nepo baby had TRAUMA? Like what??

I would say catching AIDS would be pretty damn traumatic.

At least to me, it would be.

He has to be one of the longest surviving HIV+ people ever. Access to the best healthcare known to man.

I’m sure I believe that, R73

r17: "How Deep Is The Ocean" is a creepy song for a mother and (especially a gay) son to be singing to each other.

When a very young Garland sang a romantically passionate "How Deep Is The Ocean" in 1938 the announcer commented "Which Judy sings to mothers everywhere!" Judy includes new lyrics referencing her mother which given her bitch of a mother is even creepier than the Barbra-Jason duet.

[quote] He has to be one of the longest surviving HIV+ people ever. Access to the best healthcare known to man.

Um, have you missed the last 30 years? Lots of HIV positive people now live long lives.

I know at one of her shows, Jason came out and he and Babs sang a duet of the Captain and Tenille's 'Do That to Me One More Time." There was not a dry eye in the house when it was over.

Even sleazoid Frank Sinatra had the decency to have some of the words changed when he sang "Younger Than Springtime" to daughter Nancy in 1967.

[quote] I know at one of her shows, Jason came out and he and Babs sang a duet of the Captain and Tenille's 'Do That to Me One More Time." There was not a dry eye in the house when it was over.

Never happened

I hear she once threatened to cut him out of her will when he showed up uninvited with a bouquet of marigolds. She seemingly still has PTSD-induced flashbacks thinking how vividly orange these flowers were.

If A Guy Isn’t Pretty Like Mr. Gay Atlantic City

He used to swim at the West Side YMCA in NYC. Steam and sauna habitue.

r81 - literal, obsessed, humorless lesbian

[quote] I caught up with Gould at his personally-designed Americana-themed farmhouse, that sits high atop a mountain overlooking Santa Barbara County.

Does he have a job that pays for this or did momma?

R81 = one of those Babs protective humorless homosexuals.

[quote]Does he have a job that pays for this or did momma?

Momma pays for everything. But someone above said she's leaving everything to charity when she croaks.

R75 Google "Magic Johnson"

R73 Sure, Jan. This never happened.

Why would anyone think that Barbra won't remember Jason very well in her will? He is her only child, whatever disagreements they may have had, and she has always supported him during their lives.

Can't she lease him a storefront in her mall so he has something to keep him occupied all day?

I like his stubble (trying to be nice).

Try harder, r93.

And to Jason I leave nothing, for reasons that are well known to him.

[quote]she has always supported him during their lives

YES, she supported him $$$

It's Gould, not Streisand. And he has been out for years. Her support of him has been very public. Not everyone is an activist. He's just living his life. Who cares?

There has never been ANY evidence that their relationship is anything but close and loving. Believe it or not, some women are just good moms.

[quote]R79 I know at one of her shows, Jason came out and he and Babs sang a duet of the Captain and Tenille's 'Do That to Me One More Time." There was not a dry eye in the house when it was over.

Was this a holiday concert? Cuz that’s where I saw them do “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”

Truthfully, tho I can’t fault Jason’s singing, it was… a little awkward. I think they wisely dropped it from the act (?)

Gould what, R97? We obviously care, numbskull.

Sources say he is a little more than miffed when she disclosed that she would be leaving him only the 'As Seen On TV' kiosk at her mall and not an actual store space, when apparently Josh Brolin will be getting the Forever 21 and Roslyn Kind will be getting the Chess King.

And some income in his dotage, R92.

I am sure she adores him, she's a Jewish mother for God's sake. Also, he seems like a very thoughtful, kind soul, what's not to like?

Speaking of the slightly creepiness, she once began a story during an interview with, "I was laying in bed with my son" then something like don't worry, he was recovering from back surgery. I just found it so odd that she mentioned the being in bed part, it wasn't funny or was inconsequential to the story.

I know too much about these two!

[quote]R101 Sources say he is a little more than miffed when she disclosed that she would be leaving him only the 'As Seen On TV' kiosk at her mall and not an actual store space, when apparently Josh Brolin will be getting the Forever 21 and Roslyn Kind will be getting the Chess King.

The benefits package for working at Barbra’s mall are not all he had imagined, either.

This caused the first of many rifts.

Barbra and Jason should have done THIS duet.

Marry me R62!

" Oh, I just -- I think everything he does is great. You know, I mean, my son, that's unconditional love. I swear. It's a terrible thing to say, but I think my son could do something really bad, and I know I would find a way to justify it."

Don’t discount the Josh Brolin daughters who will be generously taken care of in Barbra’s will. There’s also the Jon Peters daughters she (used to?) adore. Barbra always wanted a girl.

I saw his profile once on Match.

He's rabidly anti-Trump so he's cool in my book. I've always liked him.

R109 I will always respect him as he is the one who is (more or less) responsible for his mom's duet with Donna Summer 45 years ago, making it one of the biggest hits in each of their careers as well as the decade.

Streisand has said more than once her son was 'the biggest Donna Summer fan' in the late 70s and listened to her records constantly. He pushed her to do the duet before she even heard the song played.

R110, Jason was apparently also responsible for Barbra recording "Sing" from SESAME STREET, because it was his favorite song when he was a little kid :-)

R111 Yes, but let's not hold that against him. He didn't know good music at that young age.

Are we sure that deadbeat potatoes for brains Elliott Gould is not on Bab’s payroll?

[quote]He's rabidly anti-Trump so he's cool in my book. I've always liked him.

I betcha he's rabidly anti-Lanie Kazan, too.

Barbras's pregnancy with Jason made her unable to attend Truman Capote's famous '"Black-and-White" ball.

Jason Gould has every right to his privacy and his HIV status is nobody's business.

His Dad isn't that rich so of course his mother helps out.

The voice is good but his phrasing and arrangements could use a little work.

Considering his parentage and compared to his peers, Jason has turned out just fine.

Jason was also responsible for getting his mother to record Enough Is Enough with Donna Summer. Barbra wasn't sure at first, but Jason was a huge Donna Summer fan (of course) and begged her to do it.

Here's the Barbra we love and need every day of our lives...

R117 read R110

R115, unless she was in the process of giving birth, there’s absolutely no reason for her to have skipped that party.

[quote]Considering his parentage and compared to his peers, Jason has turned out just fine.

Everything is relative, but do you really think having no job or career or avocation whatsoever is "turning out fine?"

r119 suck my big fat cock

Young Jason was also responsible for Sada Thompson briefly leaving FAMILY to play Angel Lorraine on CHARLIE’S ANGELS…. his favorite show at the time.

Speaking of “turning out fine,” I remember the serial wed Larry King defending the practice of growing up sleeping in the bed with an opposite sex sibling - as did he - because he turned out okay.

That's nasty r124.

King was married 8 times to 7 different women. But never the mind because he was a celebrity. He turned out okay.

^ never you mind

[quote] Barbra and Jason - How Deep Is the Ocean

R17 Does an ocean means a pussy?

Digression due to Jason's blandness boring me:

r118's post reminds me that when Babs does pop her clogs, the power freak "director Barbra" will fall away from our collective memories and it is this bright 21 year-old, who som surprised us with her voice, inventiveness and quirky humor that will come back to the fore. Barbara 1963 (Ed Sullivan-JudyGarlandShow) -1974 (TWWW, What's Up, Doc?) will be the Barbra we think of from then on.

[quote]His Dad isn't that rich so of course his mother helps out.

Why does an able-bodied 57 year old man need "helped out" by his parents?

R116 is Jason.

I knew Jason from Fire I back in the day and NYC , he used to work out at Equinox on the UWS. I found him attractive and a nice guy we would dance together. I remember at one morning party we were dancing and Somewhere by Barbra played and I dunno it seemed everyone was staring at him and he seemed uncomfortable , so I whisked him off the dance floor for a while. I never spoke to him about his mother but he never seemed comfortable in his skin around gay crowds but I enjoyed his company.

R132, What did you talk about with him? What were his interests?

Jason seems oh so immature if he handles his connection to his mother’s fame like a 20 year old at age 58.

r120: She was Just about ready! ! The black and white ball was November 28, 1966, Jason was born December 29 1966

Happy Birthday Jason!

^ no excuse. She should have gone.

Maybe if Elliot pulled her in a rickshaw.

She was among the hottest stars at the time, no way was she not invited.

[quote]R130 Why does an able-bodied 57 year old man need "helped out" by his parents?

Are you mentally retarded? Of course one of the benefits of great wealth is giving your children lives of luxury.

I saw Jason in WeHo many years ago sitting at an outdoor table surrounded by 5 or 6 of the handsomest White guys, his nebbish look sticking out like a sore thumb in that group. I felt sorry for him. It seemed so apparent that they were they type who would have never hung out with someone who looks like Jason if it wasn't for who he was or rather, for whose son he was.

i've heard Jason is a nice guy, a bit reserved, a bit of a loner. Those aren't traits that will help you get ahead in Hollywood no matter who your mom is. Jason doesn't strike me as all that driven or ambitious.

Who remembers the short film he made about 25 years ago where he played a skewed version of himself, dealing with being BS's son. He had created a 12-step group for celebrity children, and Christina Crawford was also in the cast. It was quirky and cute; I think Alexis Arquette was in it as well. Cut to today and you have a similar upper ring from Jack Robbins, who is Susan Sarandon son. He has an ongoing series on TikTok called Nepo Baby, he's trying to make a name for himself, and yet he uses his mom's name obsessively, because he knows that's his biggest claim to fame. Good sport and supportive mom Sarandon is in various scenes as needed, and it's all very fast and fun. there's no comparing the old school way that Jason Gould made his movie with the quick, low budget turn around or something like Nepo Baby. These are indeed faster times.

About a decade ago I was working the pack line at an Amazon FC and one of his orders came through. Some pricey camera equipment.

I posted on here that Mommy must be financing a new photography "career" and was the responses were pretty vicious in defending him.

Glad to see DL wised up.

I’d like to ensnare Jason, have him bring me over to meet his mom, then watch her eyes bug out as I spill Manischewitz all over her ghastly, matchy-matchy velvet interiors.

I remember reading Barbra asked him who his favorite singers were when he was a kid, and he said Donna Summer and The Bee Gees. She took him to the Gibb brothers concert at Dodger Stadium and that started the wheels for Guilty, so you could thank him for that as well.

Back in the 90s, I called someone over from one of those 976 phone lines (before Grindr!).

I opened the door, it was Jason. Of course I knew who he was, but I didn't want to ruin his fantasy. So I made him do the task we agreed upon on our short conversation. I gave him my phone number.

He called and came back, I think twice. Always calling from a payphone, (remember those?)

I never led on I knew who he was.

Years later, I would see him occasionally at my gym. He always recognized me. He always smiled or said hello.

And for those of you dying to know...Yes -it was big. He was gifted with a beautiful dick. I didn't play with it because it wasn't what he came to me for. But it was hard as a rock in his hand the entire time he.......

Hope you wore a rubber, R144.

I'm sure Barbra was a good mother - to a point. But it's not easy to be raised by a mother who is a complete narcissist.

"So I made him do the task we agreed upon..."

Did he shit on a glass table with you beating off underneath?

[quote] In her memoir from about 20 years ago, Warwick made it known she was not too fond of Streisand back in the 60s or in the present day.

I had that hussy's number!

Dionne was not fond of disco, and was not fond of Streisand doing disco. "Enough WAS enough!" It was a joke.
