Today's Blind Items - The End Of A Brand

For years and years, this foreign born A+ list mostly movie actor has worked hard on his public brand. He wants you to believe he is a happy, always in a good mood, loving husband and doting father. Yes, there have always been those who talk about him being closeted, but the checkout line gossip readers see none of that. They just see covers of magazines reinforcing his good looks and the message his people have been spewing out to the masses. They see him in box office hits and always willing to go on a show to promote his latest movie however they want him to do it. He can seemingly do it all.

Those days though are coming to an end. He knows they are. He knows his brand is about to be torn to shreds. There are too many reporters circling his disgraced director friend. Those reporters have not only heard the stories of what the director made young men do to get parts in movies, but also our actor. As he has grown to A+ list, he has used that power to coerce young men into sleeping with him in exchange for work on whatever project he is on. Often there will be a half dozen men working on one of his movies that got there because they had sex with out actor.

Our actor has been at the same parties as the disgraced director. His circle of friends is the same. Our actor is just much better at selling that image you see on the cover of tabloids. His image has always been the antithesis of what he is really like when it comes to his abuse of power. He likes to say it is all in good fun. Is t good fun though when you give them an ultimatum? Sex or you don't get the job. He doesn't care if they say no. He will find someone who says yes. Meanwhile, he will tell his producer friend and his director friend and all his other friends in the same circle that the guy who said no, should probably think about waiting tables for a living and not acting. But yeah our actor is a real role model huh.

Probably break around the same time as the Don Henley story.

notthisagain said...

the day this esquire article drops will be christmas come early. sometime before halloween, apparently.....

Guesser said...

So no one in Hollywood is any good right?

trufflepig said...

Those that seem to good to be true usually are.

loopymommy said...

Full Service is the book's title.

Tierney said...

Aren’t we suppose to forget about Henley and move on as told by the powers that be

parissucksliterally said...

No. I refuse to believe this is Hugh Jackman.

I REFUSE.

Just hope that they were all consenting age. But yeah its over. Did he hang with Spacey?

Jax129 said...

Please don't let this be Hugh. Always thought he was one of the good ones. Don't care if he's gay but abuse of any kind is just wrong

Rosie riveter said...

Noooooooooo

JT0130 said...

oh no

Krab said...

He can share a cell with Don Henley and of course, the perpetrators of the yuuuuuuuuuge human trafficking ring that's about to go down. Yuuuuge. Any day now, fer realz this time.

shakey said...

Jesus, NO. NO NO NO NO. Goddammit. So Zac had to have sex with him to star in The Greatest Showman, then.

Crap.

Casting Girl said...

Hard to believe. I've heard from friends working on shows w/him that he is the best. Also...what man OR woman would turn down hunky Hugh? He is a stud. Wouldn't thing he'd NEED to pull a power trip on anyone to get laid.

B626 said...

Jackman was into his 30’s stuck in TV movies when Singer gave him his break
James Marsden too,also mostly TV at that point
Hmmm

MJ said...

Stud or not, for many gays if you are over 30 you are out

MJ said...

IDK if this is H J...( i both hope it is and it is not )..but actually soetime the harrassment or blackmail has less to do with actually get sex than to use the power you have

- said...

Please don't be Hugh Jackman. I'll have to resign from the human race if it's him.

Sd Auntie said...

Ratner os litigious @ jim

SDaly said...

What amazes me is why anyone on this site would still admire (or care about) any celebrity who one does not know personally. You all know their images are entirely media creations, and that they are all too often broken, needy people who crave attention and will do anything to get it.

J said...

+10 SDaly

Childish imagining that any of these people are truly decent amazes me. That doesn't mean there are no good people in Hollywood... but it strikes me as very foolish to believe wonderful things about the character of anyone you don't know personally.

Throughout the history of civilization, actors have been regarded as low-life dregs of society. Not without reason.

JT0130 said...

@j So true. Are most just PR created. Do we ever "know" a famous actor or actress.

Aquagirl said...

I never liked Hugh Jackman; always felt a sleaze factor about him and I don’t find him handsome at all. But, if this is him, he’s one if the biggest assholes on the planet. His wife already lets him sleep with his bf (wasn’t there a BI that the bf just moved in with him?)
But clearly that’s not enough. He chooses to abuse his power, and is condescending to those who won’t sleep with him. I hope his dick falls off.

Aquagirl said...

TruRes said...

Be upset that bad stuff is true of your "idols" and you make it hard for the truth to be told and victims to be heard. Your choice.

Kate k said...

Is it just me or is this the saddest collection of blinds ever? Predators, Parkinsons, blabbermouth publicists...ugh

Layla said...

I figured Hugh was gay, but this abuse is so incredibly disappointing. He was the first one that came to mind, sadly.

Sus said...

Hugh Jackman

Mr Selfdestruct UK said...

I I was just saying to John I was waiting on this. Ian McKellen should fall too!!!

T. W. said...

I didn't think Jackman had kids, but Google says he has 5.

Unknown said...

@Boo Hearne: I disagree. People do and should care if someone is forcing people into positions (for want of a better word/phrase) that demand sexual favors in return for a career. Gay, straight or otherwise. No one should have to leave their dignity at the door to get a job. Those who willingly pay to play...well, that's a different story. Discrimination and sexual harassment should never be accepted as the norm or allowed to continue in any industry.

On the other hand, we need to stop the witch hunts. This site, and others like it, all have disclaimers protecting them from the consequences of their type of ''entertainment''. Most are also very honest that some info is purposely incorrect to throw off true information. I read these comments on posts and wonder if people stop to consider they may be wrong, even though they are so sure they aren't, and recognize the consequences their perpetuating rumors may have for the individuals they accuse and those around them. These are real people with families and employees depending on their celebrity behind these accusations.

We also need to start choosing our icons better and stop believing they are perfect. No one is perfect.

I really do urge all of you to understand what you may profess to know, based on these and historical posts, may actually be wrong. Spin is very evident and profitable today. Don't believe you ''know'' when you really don't.

tipsytess13 said...

What about Will Smith.. Especially with the latest interview on Jada's show. And he's know to be closeted. And he always tries to play the nice guy/good guy.. Just not sure who the director friend is.. I find him more likely then HJ.

Bluejay22 said...

George Clooney

News said...

he is not foreign born A+

News said...

For years and years, this foreign born A+ list mostly movie actor ...

News said...

A+ (gay closeted) foreign borns married with children with “good image” are not that many.

Must be Hugh, or could be even Hemsworth?

IanPhlegming said...

Readers of these comments will know I have been trying to warn you all about Hugh Jackman for many moons and you have mocked me and called me names. It is sad, he has done so much for modern musical film, and he is probably no worse than many Hollywood monsters who seemed charming and genuine throughout the years. But these are different times and our myths are dying. This is a good thing, if painful sometimes.

Sd Auntie said...

Yes u did @ddonna! Good call.

Wendy said...

@TW, I think he has 2 adopted kids, that's it.

SeijnSei said...

Hugh Jackman would be an idiot for doing this. He could probably get anyone legal or not to sleep with him just being as smoking hot and talented as he is. And talk about just throwing away a career! Over sex when you could get laid on all corners of the planet with little effort? Doesn't make sense.

OB said...

I've been checking the Esquire site at least 5 times a day since last week. I cannot wait for these predators to get their due

Unknown said...

He does that to a lot of people..apparently.

Mystique99 said...

This is going to devastate a friend of mine who is a huge fan. Has a large tattoo of Wolverine,and waited hours when he came to town for DVD signing. She actually got him to sign under her tattoo and right after went and got that inked. Said he was incredibly sweet and impressed with her art. One of nicest people she ever met. She did say her gaydar went off but she doesn't care about that with consenting adults/open marriages etc. However these allegations definitely put a different spin on the consent part if we're talking about casting couch coersion. Honestly hoping it's not him but this BI practically spells his name. One question though, what Esquire article? Rumored or announced?

hhstarr said...

Guys and gals, it is not just about having sex. It is about control and power over others. Yes a star could get most people to volunteer to have sex with him. That’s no fun for him. He wants to feel powerful and able to control others. It is far more sick than just sex.

Dannette said...

@Mystique99, I heard about the Esquire article when I read Bryan Singer's insta post decrying the outrageous pack of lies he believes are coming from them. He actually referred to the article as odiously "convenient" in its timing, as the Freddie Mercury movie he directed and edited is scheduled for Nov 2 release. So we're all just waiting with him.

memyselfandi said...

If this is Hugh. Ugh....fuck. Yes, I'm naive. But, damn it! This one really blows my mind if he's it. He's honestly one of my faves.

SnarkyAngel said...

I could give a poo about Jackman, or any of them for that matter. I know & appreciate him as Wolverine. That is literally the only character of his I can name. Same with movies, couldn't tell ya a single other one he's in.
It boggles my mind that you folks can denegrate these "stars" after guessing that they are the culprits involved in these blinds... BTW I have followed this sight daily since its inception in 2006. I enjoyed it, but the last few years it seems the Eterns give service to degenerate rapists and pedophiles. More often than not, lately, I feel the need for a shower after reading the blinds & comments. It has become a disturbing addiction, and I know I'm not the only one that suffers from it.Just felt compelled to share. Let the maelstrom begin! Peace, love, & bacon ~Snarky Angel

luckythewondercat said...

If this is Hugh Jackman he deserves an Oscar for convincing the public he is a really good guy!

As someone mentioned earlier we should think about the stigma attached to someone accused of this kind of behavior. Even if they are found innocent in a court of law it does not matter. The stigma is still there. The phone stops ringing, the invites disappear and the kids get told their friends are not allowed to visit anymore.

Unknown said...

I never thought HJ was attractive. He's so cheesy looking. A bit smarmy too.
Having said that, I also did not assume he'd be a predator. Muscles or not, he comes across as a weakling pussy, but I suppose those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

A-pathetic said...

You made me 😆 Now I feel bad because of the way he did the deed. 😔

A-pathetic said...

The one thing I’m trying to take away from this is that unlike director guy he didn’t rape underage boys. He behaved like a usual Hollywood d bag and gave guys the casting couch treatment.

Ryan Reynolds jokes about it in a Deadpool trailer, so he doesn’t seem to mind.

I feel 🤢 though, this last year has opened my eyes to horrors I really could have lived without knowing.

IanPhlegming said...

The teen-boy extravaganza "Pan" would never have been made without Hugh Jackman.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3332064/

Lots and lots of young boys and girls in many his movies: "Real Steel," "Logan," "Greatest Showman," "Chappie," "Happy Feet," "Flushed Away," etc., etc., etc. So many beautiful young children in those movies.

Jackman's also one of the leads in "Broadway 4D," directed by Bryan Singer and Gary Goddard, which was completed last year but still has no release date.

Both "Pan" and "Broadway 4D" had massive $100+ million budgets but will be huge money losers for the studios involved. It's almost as if those movies were made for reasons other than profitability.

Unknown said...

Never liked him . Never bought into the hype over Jackman.
It was clearly generated by paid, online fans. He does what J Garner does.
Think for yourself ...
Its called discernment .

Sara, Making It Work said...

So.... I take it McKellen will be going down too? He was right in there with Singer, Jackman, Spacey.
But I'll believe it when I see it.

SDaly said...

Broadway 4D looks like a have of abusers. Singer, Goddard, Forbes Candlish.. with a special guest appearance by Matthew Morrison!

Unknown said...

I know man...what a bummer!
😁

Unknown said...

I like Hugh more
Than Hugh know.

Unknown said...

Happy Feet?
If he's molested just ONE penguin, that's me and Hugh done!

Unknown said...

Leonardo with all his fake ass beard models who leave him for real love & babies with their new man!!!

Unknown said...

I am FINALLY going to be the first to get one!! This is 1,000,000% Paul Rudd.

The "role model" line at the end sealed it.

anna maus said...

I much prefer the Paul Rudd suggestion. :( Please don't let it be Hugh Jackman.

A-pathetic said...

Paul is American though.

hunter said...

Paul Rudd is not an A+ list mostly movie actor.

Paul Rudd is an American born A-/B+ list mostly movie actor.

THP18 said...

Oh please- no way this is Hugh Jackman. And do you all believe everything you read?? What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

THP18 said...

Oh please- no way this is Hugh Jackman. And do you all believe everything you read?? What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

getstracked said...

Thanks for posting, DDonna; I believe you;-(

hhstarr, you make an excellent point that it is about power and control and abuse and not sex.

THP18 said...

Ryan Gosling or Ryan Reynolds are also possibilities before everyone jumps on the HJ bandwagon.

A-pathetic said...

He has two, unless he’s not as gay as I thought and has some baby mamas out there.

Michelle said...

Ever since I saw a photo of Hugh Jackman attending a Spirit Cooking party hosted by that notorious witch Marina Abramovic, I realized he was corrupted. His children are all adopted...hope they weren't abused!

THP18 said...

It was not a "spirit cooking party". Spirit cooking was a piece of performance art by Marina Abramović, and she later used the name to describe dinner parties.

What you are referring to was the 20th annual benefit for the Watermill Center. It got associated with spirit cooking because of a photo of Marina Abramović and Lady Gaga by the art work.

I really wish people would do some research before judging other people’s lives.

RedDawnHollywood said...

If it’s HJ....he attended Spirit Cooking Party. Images available. Also, Ivanka is very involved with bringing down traffickers. She attended his B-Day Party. They are friends supposedly.
