Casual Beards

October 11, 2016 Blind Gossip

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.

[Optional] Is the casual approach a better strategy for him?

    That was my boyfriend Jake Gyllenhall who none of of you should talk any crap about.
    He had to act like he likes flamingo legs Taylor Swift who is a lesbian (supposedly)?, I felt bad for jakey that’s what I call him when we’re alone (in my head),he cried saying it was hard to deal with crazy manly Swift because she likes caviar more than pink’s hot dogs and she was mean to him, oh and I am a man in case anyone cares, have to get back to jakey, good day you all!

    I just came here to say that pic freaks me out!

    I agree with most posts that it’s Jake Gyllenhaal because Taylor and he dated for a while. And BTW is Taylor gay because she sure seems to beard for a lot of suspected gay men and if THEY are gay which I believe Gyllenhaal is as well as many of her other “boyfriends” then WTH? Why would she be a beard if she weren’t gay? I’m confused.

    Has to be Jake G –

    Jake Gyllenhaal

    Clue: “trot out”. Famous movie he did about two gay ranch hands: Brokeback Mountain.

  6. boyzmom says

    October 12, 2016 at 10:30 am

    OK, just to be different, I’ll guess Chris Pine because of the “Blue Moon” clue. Maybe it’s a reference to the Star Trek movies.

      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.

    Yes- probably a three-fold win.

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

    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…

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

      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…
