His School Days

[Blind Gossip] This actor is best known as one of the stars of a period TV series.

His professionalism has earned him the respect of those who work with him on set. They describe him in very positive terms.

However, if you ask those who grew up with him, you will get a completely different story!

When he was younger, he was kind of short and unattractive and he was picked on by some of the other kids.

He suddenly got taller and better looking as a teenager. He started dating, but he was really awful to the girls he dated.

Let’s hear about it.

He was very manipulative. He pressured girls, especially virgins, into having sex with him. He didn’t use protection. I know that some them wound up with [STDs]. Then he would be really abusive and mean to them and move on to the next girl.

That’s not good.

So did everyone dislike him?

The teachers thought he was wonderful and polite and the nicest kid ever! He had them fooled. It was like he had two personalities. I’ll be he is still that abusive, manipulative person under the facade.

    I highly doubt it is Fred Savage but to me, this reads like it is The Wonder Years.
    I am most likely wrong though.

    Sam Heughan
    Outlander
    Being bullied carries over. No matter how perfect he seems, I think he may have some dark corners.

    no idea but I was bullied for my last name when I was young which caused a lot of my attitudes of suspicion to some extent. Having a wide education including psychology though, it’s not difficult for me to analyze my situation & realize others had a it a lot worse than I did. At least I was attractive, smart and athletic. After middle school, kids stopped being such idiots as well. Still, for most this is a personality altering experience.

    I think they keep the bully side hidden to those who matter. And those who they consider irrelevant see the bullying side. It is tough defending oneself against a bully, since when one start standing up for themself, they then appear to be the bully to the bully.

    Is Happy Days considered a “period” show???

    Wild guess: Ron Howard, Happy Days. I wouldn’t be surprised if he turned out to be an *. He seems like he could “play nice” and “play mean.” That Ralph Mouth was kind of goofy but can’t remember if he outgrew it. I thought Chachi and Potsie were always handsome.

    Other shows I thought of: Little House on the Prairie, Goldbergs, Happy Days, That 70’s Show

    Outlander’s Sam Heughan?

    I think it depends some kids who were nerds can be * as grown ups and some kids who bullied can become good people. Sometimes this combo with added fame is a bad mix. Too much adulation is a recipe for disaster add in money and of drugs

    The behavior described is gross looks like it was a deep desire to almost humiliate girls. What a creep!

  13. XcusemyEnglish says

    Actor: Henry Cavill? There have been other blinds about him giving STDs to women, and he’s talked about being unattractive as a kid.

    TV Show: The Tudors

    [Optional] I think it depends on the person. What I can say from personal experience is that bullying definitely has a lasting impact on a person, but there are different ‘coping mechanisms’.

    I get a jon hamm vibe… I hope not tho~
    mad men
    I was bullied but grew up to have compassion for others..some people never break the cycle.

  18. parkland45 says

    They grow up to be wary of others until they’ve checked them out. Being a victim of bullying stays with a person forever.

  23. VegasMike says

    Optional: I think it depends on the kid and their situation. If they have someone to talk with about the bullying, someone who supports them and counsels them, they might grow from the bullying. They might understand it’s the bully with the problems. If they don’t have anyone in their corner, they could go the other way…

  24. gossipycat says

    No clue about the actor, but people who are bullied are responsible for breaking the cycle and not doing it to others. I saw this as someone who was bullied a lot. I’ve seen other adults use past bullying as an excuse to treat others like crap, and that doesn’t fly with me. We’re all responsible for who we become.

    A lot of people are saying Outlander’s Sam Heughan, but the blind says two personalities….which makes me think if this is Outlander it’d be Tobias Menzies (Black Jack/Frank). Goodness I would hope not though! It doesn’t seem to fit!

    Henry Cavill makes more sense to me based on other things we know about him.

  28. spoofbyrd says

    I like the Jon Hamm guess and in college he had an incident of frat boy sadism that I am surprised he hasn’t been sued for . Unless you are blessed by the gods like Cindy Crawford and Warren Beatty from birth onward like they apparently were , you have been bullied sometimes along the way. Scars are always there but success in later life can almost render them forgotten. Note for career Bullies out there : Nobody really likes you . Consult the myths of Begbie in Trainspotting .

    This is one of two people, and I could make a strong argument for either.
    Henry Cavill of that witcher show that’s on streaming somewhere. He’s blond in it, I think.
    or
    Wilmer Valderama of That 70s Show.
    Both are commonly and widely known to be giant a-hats to everyone, but especially their girlfriends.

  32. Dragnflyz says

    I’m thinking Henry Winkler from Happy Days. He comes across as a nice guy and seems to get along with everyone (except Tom Hanks!! Who wouldn’t get along with Tom!?) Anyway, I remember hearing he hated being associated with The Fonz when Happy Days ended. Also, he himself states that he has dyslexia which his own father would bully him about. He started out acting as a young boy and wasn’t considered cute until he became The Fonz.

  33. Conchord says

    I don’t think the quoted parts ever have clues, at least not the kind of sly hints that BG plants. They are direct from the source.

    The way the 2nd paragraph is worded, it sounds as if the show is currently running. That would rule out Jon Hamm or someone from Happy Days. I don’t think it’s Henry Cavill either, because surely he’s best known for playing Superman.
