Today's Blind Items - Who Is The Closeted Former Child Actor
From Reddit
I am an actor. Well-known. A few of my movies are among the top-grossing in history. I started out as a child actor and fortunately have worked ever since. I hate my fans. Appreciate them but hate them. I hate them because they hound and harass me. I am not an attention whore. I don't tip off the paps, party, etc. I usually enjoy being by myself. I can't even be open about being gay. What really irks me is how fans call me by this character's name and start touching me and asking for pictures like I am one of those guys dressed like a Transformer on Hollywood/Vine. Don't get me wrong, I'll always chat and take a picture with a fan if they are cool or for a young fan, but most people are assholes.
I hate the way they ask me for money and think I have money. I see these sites where fans will say I am worth like $20 million. BITCH PLEASE. I am worth more like $4 million. And I don't even live a lavish style. Far from it. I may get four movie offers ranging from $1 - 4 million. I probably take a quarter of that at the end. Most often I turn down the higher-paying movies because they will do the most damage to your career. Sometimes I won't get any offers. I have tons of expenses. I have to pay lawyers, accountants, family, etc. Don't even get me started on taxes. Also, if I ever become disabled or can't work anymore, then I am f**ked. They think that I can get them work. No I can't. That pisses me off more than anything. My life is not that glam. Most famous people are not that interesting. They're uneducated. They're ignorant. They're paranoid. They're full of themselves.

Culkin?
Elijah Wood?
That was my guess, although Culkin is also a good guess.
Reddit?
Switch7ng to Haley Joel Osment
if this is true, this guy sounds like a bummer to be to around.
Another idea -- Haley Joel Osment.
Yeah. If my memory is correct, he also had a cameo in Back To The Future.
Ha! You beat me to it!
Doesn't say foreign born but could also be Daniel Radcliffe?
Daniel Radcliffe is worth $110 million.
rupert grint
It pays to be Harry Potter. ;-)
"how fans call me by this character’s name and start touching me" I think that is an important clue. Someone from Magic Mike or something that is like that. If you know what I mean.
The sad thing here is that I can help this actor make some money a year without him having to work/act -- like about +/-$60,000 a year for a +/-$700,000 purchase price.
I know it's not much, but as I have said in past posts on my blog, it will help cover some expenses.
AND, the Tenant pays most if not all the Landlord expenses. It's called a Triple Net (NNN) Leased Investment.
These have very, very little Landlord responsibilities, plus you will earn (or lose) any equity value of the property value for the time you own it.
Anyway, you can complain on Reddit about your lack of money/value or contact me. I am NOT going anywhere.
Movies -- Forrest Gump, 6th Sense, A.I. Also, looks like he's worked steadily but not spectacularly as an adult.
Stifler
Dude isn't complaining he says people think he's really rich (and he's only wealthy) and hit a bitch up for some of his cash.
At 700k down and 60k a year..you would need more than 11 years just to break even. That's IF the property value stays consistent, there are no disasters, and IF you are able to maintain a tenant in there.
No you are not o.0
RIGHT?! Only worth $4 million. Poor, sad bastard.
Dan rad and emma watson are loaded. Elijah should be to if he had a half decent agent/lawyer. Coke, gambling, hangers on,high living and divorces are usually the reason's celebrities end up broke.
I feel his pain.
Elijah Wood was my first thought.
Taylor Lautner
Elijah Woods seems right. He was just speaking out about pedophilia in Hollywood and how rampant it is... Also, I can see people on the street calling him Frodo from The Lord of The Rings...
If I ran into Haley Joel Osment, I would have no clue what 'character name' to call him by.
I listened to a podcast with Osment and he seemed cool & content.
Well I can vouch for his comment. Even as a lowly stage actress I had audience members in my face, strangers getting awfully familiar with my person waiting at the stage door and general ick. I had suitors who were entranced at the famous by association thing ("I'm dating an actress!") and the weird belief that somehow fame =money. No no and no. Serially unemployed and constant expenses that ran high ( photos hair makeup costumes classes etc) plus cuts into your pay, union dues...and the fact that you may be flavor of the month now but next month you're chopped liver. Let's just say I'm glad I left the biz.
Exactly, Stephe.
Great guess.
Posted by someone who truly doesn't understand real estate investing.
The word 'No." is hard for some people.
Family has hit me up for money through the years and they get mad when I say no.
I am sure their intentions are good, but No, I will NOT give/lend you money.
Talk of lack of return on investment.
(And they stop asking after 20 or 30 requests!)
Just to be different, Anthony Michael Hall
Rusty Griswald from Vacation...Breakfast Club,Sixteen Candles,Wierd Science,The Dark Knight
Hey, Malibuborbee! If your o.0 is intended for me, why the invalidation?
I just stated a fact.
And, even for you, if you have a several hundreds of thousands of dollars, I can help you earn some passive income.
It's what I do.
By the way, anyone interested in a Ski Resort? Nets +/-$2 Million a year.
Btw, I know AMH doesnt fit the steady work part & was MIA b/c of drug use but just thought i'd throw him out there cuz his AT&T commercial was on.
-btw,Elijah got alotta money for Frodo.
Lassie or Elijah Wood.
I find it hard to believe that Culkin is being offered any high paying movies much less turning them down. He also never mentions that he's divorced.
Haha....and im thinking Frodo! A far cry from Magic Mike.
What character name is eveyone calling him on the streets?
He is closetwd, and was a Geffen baby
Taylor Lautner or Stifler gaurenteed
He went down a hole after Kunis left that seemed like genuine depression
He's talking a lot about this lately so he'd really be putting himself out there...
Stop whining faggot
Oooh, interesting guess b/c they've JUST made a big deal out of the fact that he JUST joined Social Media ( instagram)& gave out Taylor Swift's phone number!
Annnd,Hey there @ Pip- havent seen that friendly Avi in a long time!
@EL Prez DOWNLOW EXTRAORDINAIRE
honestly, when I see that word immediately I think self-hating gay
congratulations, self-hating gay. are you a top or bottom in your fantasies?
David from A.I Artificial Intelligence (not that I saw it myself)
He says he'll talk to his 'young fans' sooo, a character that kids would recognize like SHARKBOY from 'Adventures of Sharkboy & Lavagirl'(Taylor Lautner) as well as Jacob Black from 'Twilight' series...maybe?
Sounds like Elijah Wood. He's letting it all hang out, isn't he? He left Hollywood several years ago and lives in Austin - I presume for the anonymity.
Yes, this!! The Twilight fans probably drive him nuts!!!!
Yeah,he's the kid who sees dead people...no memorable name like McFly...
What the fuck?
As I wrote below,he mentions his young fans and Taylor was SHARKBOY afterall too!
Adventures of Sharkboy And Lavagirl
Yeah,thinking same or having a bad day.
Maybe he should just go glamping in Montana & figure out who he wants to be with his paltry $4million.
I think he was in a deep depression while Kunis was still with him
aaah nice avi - its been rainy & raw here all day.
Who's got the family members always looking for handouts or who think that he can get them parts?! Or am I reading that wrong.
(ie:Culkin's brother Rory is doing more than McCauley at this point)
@david, that wasn't me. Due to pig fucking trolls, I now have this colorful photo/avatar/whatever attached to my genuine posts.
Your real estate pitch probably doesn't belong here but "what the fuck" is pretty much all I have to say about it. I'm sure you mean well and thanks for the offer but no thank you.
They have Elijah's net worth currently at $30 million.
They have Taylor Lautner's at $40 million.
Thanks, I didn't want one but with the troll morons that's the way it is.
We've had some cloudy and cool May Gloom around here but not today. It's just like that photo today.
If it's any consolation, and I know it probably isn't, I miss living in real weather.
Actually, posted by someone who understands basic math, the concept of location,location, location, and that investment real estate value, and life in general, is subject to all sorts of circumstances.
p.s. @david
The only thing I routinely give you shit about is your (incredibly wrong-headed) politics. ;-p
Elijah Wood was my first thought but didn't he make a fucking fortune off of the Lord of the Rings films?
He writes, " I’ll always chat and take a picture with a fan if they are cool OR for a young fan" so I don't think it has to someone with only young fans.
AMH is a good guess. I'm thinking along the lines of Breakfast Club, too.
Maybe Judd Nelson (Bender, never married) ?
Frodo Baggins....
I like the Lautner guess. I bet all of the Twilight fans call him Jacob..and it's pretty well known here that he's gay.
He probably gets a lot of "I see dead people" shenanigans. My son is 12, and thinks it's hilarious to say that.
Wouldn't a ski resort be super expensive to run? I would think insurance/liability would be sky high.
I googled it, and it said his net worth is $18. I'm not sure where "it" gets its info from, however. It also said that the Harry Potter kids -- Harry, Herminone and Ron -- are worth $110, $70 and $40 million a pop.
My apologies.
In the future, I will watch for your logo/avatar before responding.
Whoever the internet troll is posting with your handle doesn't have it.
Anyway, just because I think Trump is unqualified to be President, doesn't mean I am wrong. I just think he's the wrong choice for a position that requires tack and patience to get things done. He's a bully who invalidates people who oppose him. (By the way, Trump calls his Las Vegas tower a success. I know it went into foreclosure before being saved by Phil Ruffin.)
Anyway, I realize that 99.9% of people who follow this site are NOT qualified for anything that I do, yet just yesterday (Monday), I met with and toured some properties with a Hollywood Business manager who had attended the BMA's on Sunday. He was invited by some of his clients. While here, he wanted to see first hand what was available in his price range.
So, if he does end up buying one of the Las Vegas properties we looked at, I will call it a win -- without having to invalidate anyone in the process.
I appreciate your input.
Best of Luck, Malibuborbee!
Zilla!, That might work for residential real estate, but to Commercial Real Estate (CRE) investors, it is Return on Investment (ROI).
Maybe you should call me to discuss.
I wasn't clear..i was just singling that part out meaning that in addition to his cool fans he's known by the younger demograph as well.I was just trying to narrow it down soooo like for Taylor-he has his Twihard Jacob fans but he ALSO has even younger Sharkboy fans as well. I just made it more confusing,didn't i ? oh well...
Here is the thread where you can see some of their replies: https://www.reddit.com/r/confession/comments/4i3gxl/no_remorse_i_dislike_my_fans/
Says he drives an old Prius.
Has done some TV on his own dime.
Not a Bernie Sanders fan.
Doesn't care about poor African fans.
Says people still think he looks like a teenager.
Sounds like an overall asshole in general.
I doubt it is Elijah Wood, Taylor Lautner, or Macaulay Culkin.
I think Taylor might be too young, the way this person wrote, it sounds like they have had to deal with their past fame for years and years. Also top grossing films, sounds like Lord of the Rings. The language sounds like it belongs to Wood more than Launter. Also don't recall Wood ever getting involved with someone like Swift who would increase publicity.
It's definitely Taylor Lautner.
"People know me mainly from the franchise that I was in but also from my time as a child actor. They often say how I still look like a teen even though I am def. no teen."
https://www.reddit.com/r/confession/comments/4i3gxl/no_remorse_i_dislike_my_fans/d2v9ohu?context=3
Stiffler??
Sean Astin? Bet he gets the "Rudy" all the time. And he's got a lot of family that would mooch!
That's a good guess
Who ever he, is he said it right:
"People are assholes"
He says that people look up his net worth and it's way overstated.
This list makes me think it is Elijah Wood. He did that weird show on FX for a couple seasons and I think he was a producer on it.
yeah but that quote fits Elijah Wood just as much if not even more.
He's 35 & looks 18 yrs. old still. He's been in movies since 1989 in Back To The Future 2 when he was 9 yrs.old; He was also in Radio Flyer at 11 yrs. old, Flipper at 12 yrs old, The Good Son,North, etc...
oooh, and "Forever Young"( which he was really good in)
"Adventures of Huck Finn" which perhaps would address some of those obnoxious reddit statements
but supposedly he drives(well he used to) a mini cooper...could be a prius now..highly doubt any of that stuff's for real on reddit anyway.
Elijah Wood. I can see people calling him Frodo in the street.
Or Sean Astin, he was Sam to Elijah's Frodo. And he is related to Patty Duke.
Lautner makes sense...I doubt it'll be this but I'll throw Jonathan Lipnicki out there
Jake Gyllenhaal.
Wood and Lautner are both good guesses, as I can imagine they get called "Frodo" and "Jacob" respectively ALL the time. Plus, both of their franchises were popular with young people and both were child stars.
I think it's Elijah, though. He worked a ton as a child. This guy says he's definitely not a teen, and though Lautner is not a teen either, he's closer to that age and would probably still take teenage roles. This guy sounds older - old enough to be bitter. Plus, when has Lautner ever been on TV on his own dime?
Also, this guy says he doesn't use beards to cover up the fact that he's gay. Lautner and Taylor Swift had a very publicized relationship.
I'll throw Shia Lebouf's name into the mix for shits and giggles. The Reddit author's manner of speech sounds like how Shia talks in interviews.
I dare say it is. wasn't he Frodo?
In terms of the clues, I would go with Henry Thomas. I would think he gets called Elliot a lot, and people might touch his finger or chest. I have no idea about his personal life or personality.
He has a point.
This is like the modern equivalent of the university toilet wall I first came out on 20 years ago.
Yeah we noticed
So this Hollywood guy found you trolling cdan?
Take your sh it to Realtor blog umkay
Hey, Guys! Another Anonymous Internet Troll!
Who would have thought there were so many?
And, yes. Since he works in LA in the TV/movie industry, he said he looks at various gossip sites to see if any of his clients are being talked about and what is being said about them.
(He even thinks some of his clients are the anonymous ones posting crap -- if the post is about them.)
Funny guy and I did enjoy meeting him.
(Wait, is this you, Ed? (Not his real name.))
Again? The Internet Troll has spoken.
By the way, Troll, I am NOT a Realtor. I am NOT a member of the National Association of Realtors. Why? Because, I don't sell houses.
By the way, Troll: I am already subscribed to six maybe seven commercial real estate sites. (Let me tell you: Those people are boring. They never, ever post any of the crap about anyone or anything that you find here. And, if they did, they'd probably be band from the site.)
So, Really David and others posting to invalidate others here, stop hiding behind the anonymous and post with a link that will ID the real you.
And, stop treating other people with such disrespect. You don't know them.
Really David? How original! You are such a coward.
If this is Taylor, he seems like a good kid. If he wants the fans and paps to go away...the only way is to quit the business. Overtime, people will stop. Actually...they kind of already have. Eventually, people will be like...oh, you're that guy from that vampire movie. Cool.
I do know celebs have a lot of overhead. If they're getting a mil for a movie, they're basically making 500K after taxes. Then they have to pay 15% to their agent, 20% to their manager (if they have both), make-up, hair, security, stylist, travel, taking care of family members...and every day living bills. The vultures surround people who make money, and want a piece of it. So glad I'm not a celeb.
OMFG.
Since it was posted on Reddit, it must be real. I can't with this.
This is Elijah. LOTR and Hobbit series being top grossing in history.
My best friend worked on his last film and all of those points fit him. (Except the 'black people' comment, which I can't speak on.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films
Josh Hutcherson to be different.
What black people comment?
Joseph Gordon Levitt. 3rd rock from the sun. Inception, Dark Knight Rises being the movies.
