The first word that comes to mind when one thinks of this deceased foreign born permanent A+ actor is class but he also had a very earthy sense of humor. Before being an actor, he did something where he had to be in good shape and also very limber. He maintained that conditioning and would sometimes demonstrate this at Hollywood parties by performing a sexual act on himself.
johnny Weismuller?
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents lived next to him. He definitely liked showing off his body.
DeleteSo wait, this guy blew himself at parties and everyone clapped?
ReplyDeleteI like the Johnny guess Tricia. Definitely needed to be in good shape for Tarzan.
ReplyDeleteTY MD. He was also one of the best competitive swimmers in his day as well, I think?
ReplyDeleteGuess now we know where Will Ferrell got his yoga skit.
ReplyDeleteCary Grant
ReplyDeleteHe started out as an acrobat on vaudeville .
I think the key word is "class"
I immediately thought of Cary Grant... but Weissmuller is a great guess too.
ReplyDeletegood guess too@gauloise...
ReplyDeleteTY @cc423
ReplyDeleteBurt Lancaster- he was a trapeze artist originally, and apparently kept it up.
ReplyDelete+1 gauloise Plus, I think a gay or bi dude would be more inclined to perform "the act" than a straight dude like JW.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a party trick for a gay party. Not thinking that would fly in most mainstream Hollywood party or any party with mainly heterosexuals present.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tricia
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go with Cary Grant. Ol' Archibald. He was...limber.
ReplyDeleteIts Cary Grant
ReplyDelete'If I could reach, I'd never leave the house' - George Carlin
ReplyDeleteCary Grant and Randolph Scott were hooking up so yeah.
ReplyDeleteSelf Sucking....that's all I could gather from this!
ReplyDeleteNo idea who the guy is!
I've a buddy from Astang Yoga, he used to do that!
Why do dogs lick their balls? Because they can. I'll leave quietly.
ReplyDeleteJack Palance. One armed pushups.
ReplyDeleteSo that's where Ron Jeremy got that idea from (when he was much younger and thinner)
ReplyDelete"Foreign born" knocks out everyone named but Johnny Weissmuller and Cary Grant. "Permanent A+" means it's Grant.
ReplyDeleteOkay I missed the foreign born.
ReplyDeleteSo now we know why Cary Grant had a reputation for bad breath.
ReplyDeleteYup, grant. That documentary on him and LSD was very interesting. I forget where it aired, maybe showtime. He certainly had a hardscrabble
ReplyDeleteLife growing up in England. When I see these snowflake celebs today, he’s one of the first of the old stars I think of.
Free Jerry.
My guess is Danny Kaye.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Yul Brunner. Before he was an actor he joined a circus starting in his teens. He was an acrobat & did toured for years. This contributed to how he moved on stage & screen, he was used to putting on a performance.
ReplyDeleteI'd pay good money to see this
ReplyDeleteI agree with Burt Lancaster
ReplyDeleteI like the Cary Grant guess, just bc the first image of him that goes thru my mind when reading/hearing his name is of him in a tux.
ReplyDeleteOne of my fave old Hollywood pics is of him and Randolph Scott smiling in a swimming pool. Swoon!
I met him as a kid at Titusville's Tropical Wonderland and he was NOT blowing himself there at that time I can testify....
ReplyDeleteJames Mason.
ReplyDeleteExcept in porn where there are literally hundreds of videos
ReplyDelete@veee -- You would be wrong about that.
ReplyDelete@E -- Look for a copy of the movie "Shortbus" (among others).
For any others interested, Google "auto-fellatio in movies".
I heard it’s Roddy McDowell he was blessed .
ReplyDeleteI read it was Roddy McDowell, something he did at Liz Taylors parties
ReplyDeleteI personally think Cary Grant has way too much class and self-dignity to do anything remotely close to this in public. He was the top of the pile because he was free of the studio contract system ... he didn't need them, they needed him. He had no reason to humiliate himself.
ReplyDelete@Unknown, Ugh, did you have to say top of the pile? ;)
ReplyDeleteI've read Roddy MacDowell numerous times, he is foreign born and gay and supposedly would 'perform' at Hollywood parties.
ReplyDeleteCary Grant and Randolph Scott kept house together when they weren't married to women.
ReplyDeleteTheir home together was featured in Architectural Digest, like it was normal, or in denial.
Peter O'Toole?
ReplyDeleteI like a rowdy party, but seeing CG blow himself would probably just depress me & make me leave.
ReplyDeleteBurt Lancaster. Former gymnast and acrobat. He also posed nude for photos.
ReplyDeleteBurt Lancaster was a gymnast and acrobat, pre-Hollywood. He also had no qualms about posing nude for photographs. I think he's yummu.
ReplyDeleteYul Brenner was also in the cirus and was foreign born.
