Casual Beards

woman-with-beard-2[Blind Gossip] A few years ago, this leading film actor felt compelled to have a famous beard to trot out in public. There were formal contracts and appearance schedules and scheduled paparazzi to ensure that he looked like he was in a serious relationship with a woman. It was very stressful for him.

He hasn’t done the beard contract thing in a couple of years. Now he just makes sure that he is seen on a “date” every once in a blue moon with a work colleague.

The women don’t even have to be single. Just young and attractive enough to stir up the chatter about a possible romance. This casual approach is much less stressful for him.

    • Jake Gyllenhaal has also previously “dated” Reese Witherspoon and Kirsten Dunst. The way this blind is written makes me think that this is someone who’s only done it once. Tom Cruise has done it so many timesI’ve lost count. So…
      I’m gonna go with Taylor Lautner given that the picture is of TAYLOR Swift…

    • But, what about him and Kirsten Dunst? I loved them as a couple. Did he not know he was gay then?

  5. Tom Cruise!

    He’s no longer jumping on couches … and that’s probably a good thing! 😉

  9. Actor: jake gyllenhaal

    [Optional] Is the casual approach a better strategy for him? Totally. I prefer honesty though. I would be miserable if I couldn’t walk to the park with my SO.

  11. This sounds like it could be Jake Gyllenhaal… I don’t want it to be Jake Gyllenhaal, but it sounds like it could be Jake Gyllenhaal.

    He was just spotted with a woman in London. The DM reported it was his new girlfriend, but she was wearing a wedding ring.

    Also, the picture – Taylor Swift with a beard. Taylor was his last public girlfriend/fauxmance.

  12. Jake Gyllenenhaal

    I don’t know why he doesn’t just come out. I don’t care if someone is gay or straight. Just live an authentic life.

  13. Jake Gyllenhaal

    Just come out already for heavens sake~ it’s almost 2020! Quit damaging the LGBT community while you’re at it Jake!

  18. Taylor Lautner? Based on “blue moon” and Taylor Swift having been his famous beard. I don’t know that anyone would call him a leading film actor, though.

    James Franco also came to mind but his long-term girlfriends were not really famous.

  21. Actor – Leonardo Dicaprio

    Having casual dates once in a while is probably less stressful than pretending to be in a full on relationship.

  26. For heavens sake please don’t let it be Jake G. Lord, are there ANY strainght men in Hollyweird??

    • No. And you should take it out on Hollyweird for forcing them all to beard instead of being honest.

  27. Who is Taylor Lautner for 1000, Alex?

    Clues: That’s Taylor Swift hiding behind the beard. And werewolves have a connection with the “moon”.

  30. Has to be Jake Gyllenhal who is always papped with pretty ‘mystery women’ past beard was Taylor Swift.

    • My answer to casual or not being easier is that coming out would be easiest in the long run.

  37. Jake gyllenhall? Clue is he had a bearding contract with queen of all beards Taylor Swift for awhile.

  41. Jake Gyllenhaal. Not that this needed hints, but he supposedly dated Taylor Swift and has been sporting a beard on his face for a few years now. Can’t say I like it either.

    • PS: If he’s truly determined to stay in the closet, marry a lesbian like Cheryl Zillion-names and just be discreet.

  57. Jake Gyllenhaal. That looks like Taylor Swift. Casual approach seems to be working for him.

  58. Jake Gyllenhaal: The pic is a hint since he supposedly dated Taylor Swift.

    Casual might be the best approach…..his secret will remain a secret if not too many people are in the know…

  59. Jake Gyllenhaal

    Just come out already!! Soon or later one of the beards will sell the story.

  64. Taylor Lautner. Also, it’s so funny that John Stamos has become the go to person to casually reference one of Taylor’s famous “exes” in interviews…like he’s soooo obsessed with Taylor’s love life! Lol!

  83. This is Jake Gyllenhaal recently seen with a “beauty”, as they state in articles, back in London recently. He has not had a steady girlfriend in so long and he usually had these strange (hello, Taylor Swift?) beards in his life that never made any sense at all. He always looked unhappy or forced to laugh/smile for paps. Poor guy, he should live his life honestly. He doesn’t need to “come out” for anyone’s sake. He can live his life on his term and not give two flips what anyone…

  94. Jake Gyllenhaal (sp?)

    Yes- probably a three-fold win.

    He appears to be straight- keeping the female fans happy.
    Less stress.
    He stays mildly relevant between projects.

  96. I wanna say Harry Styles, considering he’s currently going straight to Hollywood but does that count as being an actor already?

  98. Please please don’t say it’s so….Jake Gyllenhaal.

    probably a better strategy because it keeps everyone guessing…

    • Comments that get all worked up if they think people might be gay do bother me.

      What affect does it have on your – or any of our lives, if someone were to live an honest life in 2016?

      Surely it would be better for them, for their health and sanity.
