JanetCharlton – After this actor unexpectedly lost his wife, he had a major life change. Now that he’s single, he’s considered to be a great catch, but it’s unlikely that any lucky ladies will “catch” him. That’s because he now prefers young men. Particularly slender male escorts between 18 and 21. He cruises the web for young men and calls himself “Leo.” If he’s VERY interested in someone he will fly the guy to wherever he is. He brings the escorts to his homes in New York and Los Angeles and is always polite and generous. Sorry, ladies.
Liam neesam or however you spe his name he lost his wife in that freak accident skiiing
That’s who first came to my mind as well.
I hate to agree but i do
Oh my god, NO WAY. This would absolutely break my heart!!!
Why would it break your heart? It’s not as if you had any chance in the first place, he’s a celebrity, you don’t even know him
Well one can dream, no?
Yeah, Diego, stop being a downer, lol. I dream, too!
Well, yeah, you can dream, lol
Ditto Ditto Ditto, holy hannah! Where’s the Tylenol?
First one that came to mind here as well.
Sadly, first person I thought, too!
Yep, that’s who came to mind, too. Wow, hard to believe, though!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Liam Neeson is my number one crush. Call me Liam. I’ll help you switch back to the girlie side. Until then, la la la la la – I can’t hear you.
My only consolation in this is that Janet Charlton is notorious for posting utterly false gossip. When Anna Nicole died, she printed the rumor that her daughter was the result of Anna sleeping with her son. Disgusting and horribly irresponsible. That was the last time I read her column.
He was my first thought!! Nooooooooo!!! ///heart breaks
Sadly I think it’s liam neeson too. which is sad if you think about it but oh well that’s his life
no i defo think its ryan oneal, was he not into drugs and getting arested before farahs death, hense the major turnaround.
Leo – Leonardo DiCaprio
Catch – Catch me if you can, Leo’s film
But Leo was never married, so he is obviously a link that I am missing. Liam Neeson and his dead wife Natasha Richardson was the first obvious choice for me too, but I don’t see the Leo connection?
Or am I way off?!
obviously liam doesnt want to use “liam” on the sites. And say the words Liam and Leo out loud. what do they sound like? the same word
“Kate & Leo” was used by liam’s character in love actully when talking to his stepson?…
Leo could be his zodiac sign. and out loud it sounds like Liam, so it would be an easy way to change his name without picking something so out-there that he has trouble answering to it readily.
Danny Huston
Keanu Reeves (Leo = Neo of The Matrix?). His wife died in a car accident (they were separeted but not divorced) and he own homes in LA and NY.
Hmm… might be wrong. IMDB says they weren’t married.
Yup, they were never married. She gave birth to their daughter though, but the baby was stillborn.
Liam was my first thought, but I don’t know how the clue ‘catch’ fits.
Stanley Tucci or even Pierce Brosnan
I can see this being Stanley Tucci rather than Liam Neeson (only because I am in denial).
I thought stanley was oepnly gay, no?
~openly
Liam Neeson had a role as a “Leo” on IMDB.
And Leo and Liam were both in Gangs of New York…
Liam Neeson – who else could it be? He has always struck me as polite and gentlemanlike. Pierce’s wife didn’t die unexpectedly I don’t don’t think – wasn’t it cancer?
I know ok! but prince von d*** head? lol lol in waiting? ( I know just messing)
Both Tucci and Brosnan lost their wives to cancer – not unexpectedly per se. Has to be Liam, who has always struck me as polite and likely generous.
Pierce Brosnan lost his first wife to cancer, I believe, and is happily married now and has been for a long time.
I think it’s Liam Neeson. He’s the only person that I can think of who recently lost his wife, and her death was completely freak and unexpected.
pierce brosnans wife died YEARS ago and he remarried, also YEARS ago! why would this be a blind about him?
liam neeson or stanley tucci.
Yeah, like 1991… half the readers on this site weren’t even born yet!
Liam Neeson was first to my mind as well… but it hasn’t even been a year yet! I guess people grieve in different ways…
What a bummer if it’s true about Liam Neeson. Maybe he doesn’t want to fall in love with another woman, he may feel he’ll lose her, too. How sad.
What’s that supposed to mean? I’m a straight woman, if I lost my husband, does that mean I would all of a sudden go gay because I couldn’t take the chance of losing another man, should I meet one???? Hello? If you’re gay or bi, you are gay or bi. a straight man is not going to make do with men if he loses a woman.
Well actually no. My cousin was straight her entire life. Her husband shot himself infront of her. Now she only dates women. She even seems to love them and it has been over 13yrs ago. After it happened,for a long time, she would wake up crying thinking he was with her still. Now she is the biggest lesbo I know.
Actually, yes. That’s a terrible ordeal for her, but your cousin was always a “lesbo,” albeit a repressed one. This isn’t particularly uncommon among previously-married “lesbos.”
True, Just like that Meridth Bazter lady…I think that is her name that family ties gal. She was married 3 times and didn’t know she was a lesbian. She was repressing it. Know she knows and love it. I think people who date the opposite sex for a long time than switch over to the same sex and is finally happy has always been gay or bi or lesbian. It didn’t just happen over night.
I do know she was in love with him very much. Not loved him for a guy, but really loved him. He didn’t kill himself because of finding out she was gay.
and when her husband found out she was gay, he shot himself.
What I meant was, maybe he feels he has bad luck with women and would try it with men. Or maybe he was bi/gay and suppressed it. Who really knows what makes people who they are?
what, you think it doesn’t hurt when someone loses a partner of the same sex?
Thank you!
“Liam, my man – you need some feminine companionship. I know a nice woman I’d like you to meet -”
“No, thank you! No more women for me! If I ever fell in love with another woman and lost her like I did my wife – why, it would be like losing yet another rare, precious unicorn! No, I’m going to try that gay thing, less chance of heartbreak. Excuse me, gotta go pick up my rent boy, Eduardo, at the airport.”
“Well, go easy on him, Liam. If he dies, you’ll have no other option but to try that bestiality thing!”
Liam Neeson was the voice of Aslan, the Lion, in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – hence his nickname. Really sad! Not the news I’d like to start the New Year with.
But why is it sad, he’s not hurting anybody. As long as he keeps it legal it sounds like he’s just keeping himself and some lucky hustlers very happy.
wow, good link Marina.
Chris, Marina may possibly be sad because yet another hunky single actor is off limits.
Liam Neeson. Not too much of s surprise there, especially after seeing him in ‘Kinsey’.
was he gay in “kinsey”?
Bi. He got it on with Peter Skaargaard (or however you spell it, the one married to Toothy Tile’s sister) and Laura Linney.
Well if he doesn’t want to fall in love with a woman because he’s afraid of losing her, he could just as easily hire callgirls as opposed to rent boys, no? Obviously he had a proclivity for guys when he was married and his wife might have known. Hell, her father was gay if I’m not mistaken.
Its defo Liam, its a surprise, because he was generally considered one of Hollywood’s few straight actors.
and he was a major player (julia roberts,barbra streisand,helen mirren….)before his marriage
He was very well known as a ladies’ man (and for being well endowed). I have a hard time believing this is him.
Stanley Tucci’s wife passed away earlier after a long bout with cancer.
*gasp* Liam Nesson!?!?.. wow.. I think he’s really good looking.. was this always in his nature?
his wife, died after receiving a head injury while skiing.
I agree with the Liam Neeson guess. I think his name sounds so similar to “Leo”, that he probably uses it.
Liam Neeson was my first guess too. In Love Actually, when his stepson is having a bad time because he’s in love, he says, “We need Kate and Leo.” And then they watch Titanic. It’s a stretch, but I thought of it immediately.
I just checked Danny Huston’s bio:
His wife threw herself off of the family home’s roof. She was a drunk and a drug addict, sadly, and there was a looming divorce.
I rememeber Huston from only one movie: Wolverine. But he WAS in the AVIATOR…WITH LEO DiCAPRIO. I saw the movie, but it was soooo long and boring, barely remember the fact that Alec Baldwin was in it. I did enjoy Cate Blanchett’s take on Katie Hepburn…she rocked.
I say Danny. Whoever it is, I hope they’ll be alright.
As for Liam, who I’ve watched in movies since forever, a career, kids, and paps make this arrangement a huge gamble. Or maybe not, I wouldn’t know. I DO recall seeing a picture of him outside of an Irish pub some time ago, perhaps last year on the gossip sites…and he had pissed himself. He was standing and speaking to another man and the front of his jeans in his crotchal area was just soaked. Kinda like Fergie…you have to wonder why famous people even bother to go outside sometimes when just about every thing they do is somehow documented. I wasn’t as disgusted at his piss pants as I was at the moron who took the pic. As for long winded me, much as I like Liam, he’s no catch. I’m in my fifties and he just LOOKS too old for me.
I’m hoping he’d just spilled a drink on himself….
Danny for sure. Clues – He will fly them ” Aviator”. Catch – His wife threw herself off the rooftop (horrible). Leo – in Aviator along side of Leo D.
that’s kind of gross…doesn’t he have sons in that age range?
What must they be thinking?
I sincerely hope this isn’t a blind about Liam Neeson. I know it’s almost been a year since his wife died, but it seems way too soon to make a blind item about a probably still grieving man. Even if he has changed teams and trolls the internet, I think the man deserves some privacy still.
I agree, it seems like a cheap shot. At least she could have made it a little more blind by not opening with “unexpectedly lost his wife”.
I think Liam wouldn’t fit. He is very Irish, very RC
(his name is short for William) he was quite the ladies man before
his marriage to Natasha Richardson and he is still grieving
and isn’t ready for a relationship with anyone.
I keep thinking of someone that lost his wife awhile ago, because
this kind of a life change would take awhile to work out.
Who else lost a partner?
but look at how many other ‘ladies men’ we’ve learned over the yrs were not at all, starting most famously with Rock Hudson. could be he felt more bi than one way or the other and possibly now he can’t envision being with another woman b/c no other woman could ever replace Natasha,so he’s chosen not to try at all.
The big difference however is that Rock Hudson
played the ladies man in movies, but Liam Nesson
was a ladies man in real life. I don’t believe you can
become gay out of grief. I think this actor was probably
always gay and after his wife died the roadblock
was gone….. (Perhaps also gone was an authoritative father.)
a lot of people are promiscuous in an effort to convince themselves they don’t have same-sex attractions. if he had bisexual tendencies and lost his true love, he could easily say “fck it” and act on urges he had more easily suppressed due to his genuine love for a woman.
Wow Liam Neeson would be a HUGE shocker to me. Yeah, it’s been less than a year, but it still doesn’t mean he doesn’t need sex every once in a while.
I’ve always wanted visual proof of his “size”. Didn’t Streisand say that he was like an Evian bottle?
Tucci or Liam lost their wives in 2009.
whoever this is, good for them. live however you feel fit.
YES!
Thank you.
I don’t think it’s Liam… Sadie raised a good point about the RC thing (he discussed his religion at length in a Parkinson interview). Also, as Plum said, he was once a major player in Ho’wood – in fact, many women swore that he was the “biggest” man in Hollywood (which is how he is still known in our house)… It just doesn’t fit (pun intended).
Liam for sure. The Leo reference could be from the movie Love Actually in which his character lost his wife and is now raising his step son on his own. One night they are both heartbroken and Liam’s character says to his stepson, “I think we need some Kate and Leo.” As in they need to watch the movie Titanic.
I dont think it’s Liam (whom I LOVE!)…I feel like “catch” is supposed to mean something and if it was Liam, they could have snuck in the word taken instead…It could be someone with a connection to a movie with “catch” in the name…
I’m thinking it’s Danny Huston, his wife threw herself off the roof of their condo here in LA, I believe. Something like that anyway…in 2008?
Yawn. We have 1 decent candidate, a couple “probably nots” and not much else. A chorus of “Yeah, must be him” doesn’t create much of an interest or a good discussion. Not our fault!
Next item will be more interesting, one hopes,
I am thinking Stanley Tucci.
but would ST turning gay rate the line “Sorry ladies”?
William Shatner? Didn’t his wife drown?
William Shatner’s wife drowned 10 years ago (Yeah, time flies). He remarried shortly thereafter.
Next
Man, if it is Liam,those rent boys work hard for a living. Neeson was nicknamed “Donkey Man” for his, well, you know.
Damn…another one bites the butts!
My first thought was Stanley Tucci. However, Liam Neeson does sound like a good guess. Whoever it is, I hope they find peace and happiness after such a loss.
I’m reading these comments and I’m like who the hell is Danny Huston? I google him and I’m like oh it’s that guy. I was working a catering event “Land of the Lost” premiere to be exact and Danny Huston totally eye * when he was ordering a drink from me.
I just thought it was ironic. Oh I’m a skinny, good-looking guy.
Danny Huston. I do not even remotely get any sort of a gay vibe from Liam Neeson. Stanley Tucci left his wife for awhile for Edie Falco, still strikes me as a decent sort of guy though. Danny Huston has always had a unique charisma that let’s face it, only gay gays have. sigh
And Danny Huston too well groomed to be straight.
This definitely sounds like Liam. What a shame – such a good looking man.
Why is it a shame?
I can’t speak for Kelly, but, an explanation for “what a shame” could mean that it kills the (hetero) fantasy . . .
For me, Hugh Jackman could have a tale that wiggles but I would still fantasize being the object of his fancy . . .
unless he has bad feet, that’s a deal breaker for me . . . just sayin’
Keanu was never married. jennifer lost the baby she wss stillborn at 8 months. Jennifer dieda little over a year latr single car accident (alcohol related). Keanu never got over it. He is not gay as many may think. And he does not care that people think that he is. He is secure in who he is. Get your facts straight gossip writer.
Not Liam! Noooooooo!
He was the first one that came to mind; Tucci would suit that persona though.
I’ll go with Danny Huston on this, he seems much more likely than Liam. And he was in the Aviator with Leo.
I shant believe it’s Liam
ITA w/ the poster that warned about Janet Charleton’s BIs. SHe truly is famous for making * up, and if she feels slighted by a celeb, she makes up * then too. Take her w/ a grain of salt. She’s not respected in the industry and she’s bitter about it. Even Perez (I know, I know!) has more credibility than her, believe it or not. She also won’t allow posts that criticize her, or call her out for misinformation.
I wouldn’t put much stock in Janet’s blinds. I think she hated Natasha, and is * Liam ignores her as a “journalist”, so she needs to make up * about him.
absolutely!!
My world just exploded. no, Liam, no.
Why does “unexpectedly lost his wife” have to mean died? Maybe a divorce came up, out of seemingly, nowhere.
I think that may be the case as well. Perhaps the wife just “up and left” out of the blue one day.
What about Robert Wagner?
both liam (i’ve heard many times) is HUNG, as is tucci (saw him on stage naked with edie falco in ‘frankie and johnny”)
I have been married 2x to women am gay, and gay pple like myself like the big one. Don’t know from danny huston, what he looks like or what he’s packin’. Coud Leo be someone’s horoscope sign?
TMI. Gross
What about the little fat man from the bridge of ancient StarTrek
That’s very interesting. Natasha Richardson’s father died of AIDS. She was also very supportive of AIDS endeavors. Liam may have been playing on both teams for quite a while.
She may have known. Europeans are so much cooler about this than Americans.
She supported AIDS charities because of her father, who was gay. It had nothing to do with Liam. What an odd assumption.
John Stamos
Liam was seen dating in Vancouver not so long ago a young hot 20 something(girl). Also he does not own a house in LA. NY 2 houses, Ireland but not LA. In addition he would not bring a guy in a house with 2 teenager and the inlaws around all the time.
Tiger.
People – This is so Stanley Tucci. Hello! Have you seen his swish lately?!
He is a brilliant actor and performer, and if this is what he wants, then this is what he deserves, 100%. To be happy.
I think it is Stanley Tucci as well but I was unaware that he had a home in LA.
Stanley Tucci lives in upstate NY…Liam and Stanley are the obvious choices…perhaps it is someone else…
Yeah… The terms lost his spouse and single instead of widdower makes me think of a quick unexpected separation… If Tim Robbins had been married to Susan I wouls have guested him. Sean Penn was not unexpected after the third reconciliation, but I am leaning towards wife walking out instead of a passing.
Laim Neeson doesn’t live in LA either
Agreed I said that earlier. Liam kind of ended up cutting ties with LA as soon as he made his Broadway debut. He is a real east-coast actor, the philosophie of life is completely different. He is kind of Anti-Hollywood and marketing driven life. He was in Vancouver for 4 to 5 months to film A-Team and did not even make a jump to LA for Chloe’s premiere. He simply is not a match for this one. This blind is spiteful in my opinion and gratuitous.
stanley tucci!
I’m going with Danny Huston, who lost his wife last year to a sudden suicide. While he lives in LA, with the sort of three-generation A-list lineage to which he’s connected, doubtless he has access to all sorts of NYC digs, and, for what it’s worth, pings the eff outta my gaydar.
keanu reeves?
