The Secret Father Of This Actor

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] This handsome actor has worked consistently since he was a teen. He is now one of the stars of a dramatic, patriotic TV series. The show has already been renewed for next season.

We found out something that has never been mentioned in Actor’s bio or in any interviews with him. He is actually the secret son of a famous rock star!

His mother was a groupie decades ago and had a relationship with [Rock Star]. The whole family knows that [Rock Star] is his father, but he’s just not a part of their lives. [Actor] is a very defensive about it. He says that his mom did just fine raising him and they are good on their own. If you try to ask him any questions about [Rock Star], he’ll shut you down. He hates talking about it. They don’t need [Rock Star] to give them money or to help them in any way.

The Actor and the Rock Star not doppelgangers, but when we put photos of them side by side, we were stuck by about half a dozen physical features (e.g. their eyes, their noses, their smiles, the same unique chin) that seem to be more than just a coincidence.

What makes this really shocking is that the Rock Star in question is not some crazy, irresponsible druggy. He is a well-loved icon who grew up in a middle-class family and is now a family man. He loves his wife, his kids, his sports, and performing for an adoring fan base that never gets tired of his classic songs.

While we would love to see some sort of family reunion between the Actor and the Rock Star, it’s their lives. After all, an admission of paternity after so many years could prove to be a slippery slope!

  8. calumsmom says

    I’m not sure of the actor (Jackson Pace in Homeland?) , but the rock star is definitely Bon Jovi. Clues: he’s a family man (been married for years), one of his albums is “Slippery When Wet” and he has a song called “It’s My Life”.

  9. timeoftheseason says

    Image makes me think the son is on the show Turn about the Revolutionary War. Jamie Bell?

  10. ivy3499 says

    Clues: it’s their life=itsmy life, slippery slope= slippery when wet

  12. tiger13 says

    rockstar is obviously bon jovi (it’s my life)
    drawing a blank on the actor or show. the Patriot fits the show clues (renewed for season 2) but the lead is Australian…

  14. kimmukwest says

    Max Thieriot
    Jon Bon Jovi
    “It’s their lives” – it’s my life, “slippery slope” – slippery when wet,

  15. cupcakecanuck says

    David Boreanaz
    Jon Bon Jovi

    Clues: patriotic show. David is on seal team
    Jon is known family guy, part owner in a sports team

  17. kimmukwest says

    Although I really want to say Jamie Bell because of the Turn reference in the picture and it’s a patriotic show. Yeah, I change my answer to Jamie Bell!

  18. jhwalker says

    Actor: Michael Dorman, start of Amazon’s “Patriot”, just renewed for Season 2

    Rock Star: ??

    Clues: Starred in “The Secret Life of Us” (Secret Life of This Actor)

    [Optional] Is there any incentive for them to reunite/admit their relationship? Probably not, but would be interesting, wouldn’t it?

  20. aaaJoe says

    The rock star is definitely Jon Bon Jovi . I’m guessing the actor is Max Thieriot from “SEAL Team”

    Clues: “It’s their lives” “slippery” (when wet)

  21. aaaPanda says

    Actor
    Not sure about the actor – I don’t watch many shows. After some research on current patriotic dramas that were recently renewed, the only one with next to no info about the male star’s father is Patriot’s Michael Dorman. Comparing features, I could convince myself of a likeness, but this may just be cognitive bias.

    Rock Star: Jon Bon Jovi

    Clues: It’s their lives, Slippery slope refer to Bon Jovi songs/albums
    Patriotic drama, recently renewed

  22. Kingofboggle says

    AJ Buckley
    Bono

    The U turn in the picture.

    Also thinking it could be Jon Bon Jovi but I don’t know who the son would be. Max Theiriot?

  24. CalamityJane says

    Actor: no idea
    Rock Star: Jon Bon Jovi
    Clues: It’s their lives = song “It’s my life” Slippery slope = album Slippery When Wet

  25. calibg21 says

    Not sure who the actor is, but guessing the rock star is Bon Jovi.
    Clues: “it’s their lives” refers to the song/album It’s My Life, “slippery slope” = album Slippery When Wet, unique chin

  28. More_Cowbell says

    I’ll guess Jackson Pace from Homeland
    Bon Jovi
    Slippery When Wet (also he loves the Patriots) and maybe Dirty Secrets

  31. Baileygirl says

    No idea on actor
    Rock Star Dad- James Taylor
    Clues “family man”-song lyric +”classic songs”
    No incentive to reunite. He and his mother were abandoned by this rock star. There was probably a financial settlement. James Taylor is married with twin boys and still has an “adoring fan base.” He is a super icon in Massachusetts due to his living on Martha’s Vineyard. I have heard he was a real player with groupies and left several of them pregnant. Taylor careful to cover up these…

  33. aaaIdgy says

    Actor… no idea

    Rock star … John Bon Jovi

    Clues… slippery slope… first album was Slippery When Wet

  37. jen8110gta says

    Adrian Grenier
    Bruce Springsteen

    Young Springsteen is a doppelgänger for The Boss

  41. blueberrymuffin says

    Omg

    actor: Michael Dorman of “Patriot”

    Rock star: Jon Bon Jovi

    Clues: “slippery slope” (Slippery When Wet, nice one Ace!), “patriotic” TV series, the description of the rock star (family man / sports fan / etc)… and yeah, they definitely look alike

    Optional: Not that my opinion matters, but this can of worms is probably best left unopened. Imagine the hurt feelings it could cause in both families. Not to mention that I’m sure Michael would rather earn his success on his own.

  42. Woohoo says

    I don’t watch enough TV to know who the actor is, but I can guess that he’s probably in his late 20s-early 30s, and I’m going to say his dad is Huey Lewis.
    Huey Lewis and The News’s biggest album was called “Sports” and Lewis is not known to have been a druggie or wild back in the day.

    I’ve read that he was known in Hollywood, when he was an actor, to be a legend of Hamm-sian proportions.

    If you catch my drift.

    And I think you do.

  43. gilmourh says

    Rock star: Jon Bon Jovi

    Clues: ‘it’s their lives’ aka it’s my life, ‘slippery slope’ aka slippery when wet

    No idea who the actor is though

  44. gc02ef says

    Actor: no clue
    Rock star: Jon Bon Jovi
    Clues: ‘lives’, ‘slippery’, family man, classic songs

  46. Roeshamred says

    I’m going with Max Theriot from Seal Team and Jon Bon Jovi.
    Same dimple in their chin and the blue eyes.

  51. Lindasu says

    Welp this is def. Jon Bon Jovi. Not sure who the son is.
    Clues: Slippery Slope = Slippery When Wet Album. Loves his sport = he co owns Philadelpia Soul. Family man/Middle class family = Jon comes from a humble middle class family out of Sayerville, New Jersey – and he has 3 boys and 1 girl. He’s one of 4 I believe and he’s the oldest. He’s truly a family man – been with Dorothea since they were 17. But he admitted he wasn’t always true and faithful. And there’s the chin.

  53. rhonamac says

    Actor: Hunter Parish (Quantico)

    Rock Star: Jon Bonjovi

    Clues: it’s their life BonJovi song It’s My Life

  55. craigbear says

    I can’t figure out who the actor is. But “it’s their lives” + “slippery” = the rock star is Jon Bon Jovi.

  58. starrynights says

    Actor: Lucas Till?

    Rock Star: Bon Jovi

    Clues: “It’s their lives” – Bon Jovi song, “It’s my Life”

  59. Carigirl says

    Ben Rappaport – he’s in For the People
    John Bon Jovi – Family man now, and had not met his wife yet when Ben was born.

  60. angrybird says

    All I’ve got is a Bon Jovi vibe. “It’s their lives”

    Interested to see the guesses.

  61. mlever2180 says

    Actor:

    Rock Star: Jon Bon Jovi

    Clues: “Unique Chin” and “Slippery Slope” His Cleft Chin and “Slippery When Wet” Tour.

  62. staciegrenery says

    Ryan Philippe
    Jon Bon Jovi

    Clues: patriotic show, it’s my life.

    Insane if true. He seems so loyal to his HS sweetheart.

  63. kellbelleM says

    Rock Star is Jon Bon Jovi
    Actor is Mike Vogel- The Brave
    Clues- sports, it’s their lives, and slippery slope.

  66. aaaBloop says

    Actor; Possibly Michael Dorman (no idea tbh)
    Rock Star: Jon Bon Jovi – I guessed this before the clues for some reason but the only clues I got that confirmed my guess were “it’s their lives” from Bon Jovi’s song “It’s My Life”, and “slippery” from Bon Jovi’s album “Slippery When Wet”.

  67. abcdiana02 says

    Ok this is really a shot in the dark but…

    Actor: Lucas Till
    Rock Star: Jon Bon Jovi

    The Rock star seems more obvious because Bon Jovi is a family man and the “slippery slope” seems like a reference to “slippery when wet”. But I don’t know if Lucas Till (star of the re-booted MacGyver) is really famous enough to warrant a blind item?

  68. aaaBloop says

    Oh, and “crazy”, which is also a Bon Jovi song from the album “These Days”.

  69. JuiceBoxHero says

    Max Theriot
    Jon Bon Jovi

    Patriotic series just renewed: Seal team, he’s been acting since 2004
    Rock Star clues: slippery slope=Slippery When Wet, He’s married, he kids, still touring, just inducted into R&R Hall of fame, owns sports teams and loves football

  73. LawChick2000 says

    Don’t know who the actor is but the clues point to Jon Bon Jovi. It’s their lives = It’s My Life a Bon Jovi song. Jon has been married to,his high school sweetheart, has kids and was part owner of the Philadelphia Soul -sports team. Last clue – slippery slope = Slippery When Wet.

  74. Jillianne6 says

    It’s got to be Mike Vogel and Jon Bon Jovi.

    *It’s their lives* – Bon Jovi has a song called “It’s My Life”, the description of the rock star fits Jon Bon Jovi to a T, and the chin clue.

    *Slippery* – Bon Jovi has an album called “Slippery When Wet”.

    Now, Mike Vogel’s wiki says he has a dad, but he is the oldest child, so maybe he is adopted by step-dad Vogel? It seems to be the reasonable explanation.

  75. Dwojczak says

    Show: Six (just got a premiere date announced for season 2)
    Rock star: Jon Bon Jovi
    Son: Kyle Schmid

  77. hwkgirl1 says

    Actor- Max Theiriot (Seal Team, patriotic tv drama)
    Singer- Jon Bon Jovi

    Clues- “slippery” (slippery when wet tour), his wife of 27 years (max is 29 so pre-dates wife), supports the middle class, sports fanatic (was a founder/owner of AFL team Philly Soul), “it’s their lives”=It’s My Life (Bon Jovi song)

  79. Pretty Kitty says

    Actor – Jake Epstein (Designated Survivor) – total guess here, but he kinda looks like Bon Jovi
    Rock Star – Jon Bon Jovi
    Clues – “it’s their lives” = It’s My Life song
    “slippery slope” = Slippery When Wet album

  81. thewillow says

    Actor: Michael Dorman
    Rock Star: Jon Bon Jovi
    Clues: show is called The Patriot, Jon Bon Jovi song “ It’s My Life”

  83. chalupacabra says

    OMFG Jon Bon Jovi AUGHGUGHGHH!!! This probably shouldn’t surprise me given that I grew up in the 80s/90s but AUGHGHGH!!!

    Clues: he loves his sports (JBJ owns some sort of sport team), “it’s their lives” (his song “It’s my life”), “slippery slope” (album Slippery When Wet)

    Don’t know who the actor is (working on it – btw I now think every actor under 30 looks like Jon Bon Jovi).

  84. aaamtam says

    Actor: Michael Dorman
    Rock Star: Jon Bon Jovi

    Clues for Actor:
    1)”Secret son”–He was in”The Secret Lives of Us.”
    2) Patriotic tv series: he’s in the “The Patriot”
    3) Born before Bon Jovi married

    Clues for Rockstar:
    1)”It’s their lives”–lyrics to “It’s My Life”
    2) “Slippery Slope”–Slippery When Wet album
    3) The distinctive features: same eyes, smiles!!!, chins

    The things throwing me off are that Dorman is Australian and Bon Jovi has always been a family man,…

  85. ninanicole says

    Mike Vogel and Jon Bon Jovi bc they look alike in the ways described plus all the clues fit. JBJ is a family man rock star who loves sports and everyone still loves their songs. MV is on Brave and he always has a beard now..to cover that chin?? But he was born in 79 and Bon Jovi was formed in 83, so was it before ?? That’s the only thing that doesn’t really fit..she probably wasn’t a groupie.

  86. secondguess says

    Max Thieriot
    Jon Bon Jovi
    Clues -slippery slope/Slippery When Wet
    Loves his sports-owned an arena football team and tried to buy into an NFL team

  87. lilylover90028 says

    Actor: I’m stumped, and it’s driving me crazy! Has to be someone on Seal Team, or Valor, The Brave or SWAT, etc. I can’t find someone who is young enough to be his kid though. There is one person who kind of looks like him on imdb- Mike Vogel – but he would have had to father him when he was in high school, so not likely since it says the mom was a groupie, which implies once Bon Jovi was famous.

    Rock Star: Jon Bon Jovi

    Clues: Slippery slope for Slippery When

  89. britnadd says

    I’m not sure on the actor but I’m gonna say the rock star is Jon Bon Jovi.

  90. Jackjack says

    Max was in Catch that Kid as a teen, is in Seal Team renewed for 2018-19 season, and they have a similar cleft in their chins

  91. SpareRun says

    Jon Bon Jovi for the rock star

    Clue:- Slippery (slippery when wet – album), it’s their lives (it’s my life – song)

    Not sure on the actor ?

  93. gertiewertie says

    If Michael Dorman is the PATRIOTic one, I’d guess Jon Bon Jovi. Wowza, they ARE super similar!
    Clue: It’s their lives/It’s my life
    Slippery slope/Slippery When Wet

  94. athcliath09 says
