Paul Newman was Bi?

[Spurminator]

I didn't know Brando was bi... Was that common knowledge?

(Notthattheresanythingwrongwiththat)

[CuckingFunt]

Does that mean you don't react to anything that doesn't personally effect you? When you hear about a child getting kidnapped and killed you don't have any reaction at all? Do you just shrug your shoulders and say "I didn't know that kid" and go on? Granted I don't react to every story but I do "freakout" sometimes when I hear certain things.

Yes. That's exactly what I mean. My not being personally hurt or offended by a dead celebrity's sexuality is directly related to the fact that I'm uncaring and self-centered.

I'm just trying to understand.

I understand having a reaction to the story, I just don't understand that reaction being sadness or frustration.

It's really simple. Are you just asking a rhetorical question because you think it's dumb to begin with or you really don't know?

I haven't asked a single question in this thread. I've expressed confusion.

Perhaps because not everyone reacts just like you do? Is that so hard to understand? Oh well. I got what I expected.

As for the thread itself... why the depressed smiley and the "noooooooo!" over a guy who a) is dead and b) you never ed?

[JoeChalupa]

Like I said, I'm a simple minded man and just asked a simple question.

[CuckingFunt]

At no point have I said or even implied that I expect everyone else to react to all things exactly the way I do. I would probably get pretty damn bored if that were actually the case. I merely said that this particular reaction confuses me and seems silly.

I stand corrected.

In that case, it was out of curiosity. I do think it's ridiculous, but would still be interested to know the thought process behind such a reaction.

[MiamiHeat]

I understand the reaction completely and feel it is completely normal and expected.

We thought he was 'one of us' (straight, all-american boy, married and dedicated to the same woman for 50 years, honest and strong, testosterone male) and Brando claims he was not like that at all ( sexual, secretive, infidelity, deceptive) etc

We like people who personify, become the embodiment of what we believe in (straight, etc) and we admire them when they become successful while doing it.

Having someone spread allegations that he wasn't like that at all (straight, etc) is not what we know from him, now is it?

Disappointed? If it's true, then of course.

I still think it's all bull .

Marlon Brando is just speculating. "He didn't fool me" was what Brando said...

Newman was married, happily for a long time. I doubt any of this is true especially since he's dead now.

+1000000

In my opinion, coming from a straight woman, Paul Newman was the epitome of the all American man. Happily maried to his wife fo 50 years.

I hate when books are written after a celebrity's death to cast a negative light on them, when there is no way for that said celebrity to defend themself. Even if he was bi, it's no body's freakin' business. Let the guy rest in piece.

I'm confused as to why you don't understand the reaction. But MiamiHeat explained it. While I don't care if he is bi or not it still is a surprise when your perception, good or bad, of someone is changed. I guess I'm just different.

[leemajors]

oh noes, a celeb may have been bi and unfaithful. He was still, to all appearances, a good man. who cares about the rest.

I agree.

I think CF's point is well-proven by the fact that people in this thread are ONLY responding to the bi-sexual accusations and not to the claims of the women he supposedly bedded while married.

[jack sommerset]

Hey dumbass:

Do ur parents know you write such ! You have to have common sense to know what it is. You have displayed zero to me. Sex is something you do, sexuality is something you are

"But the actor's family has dismissed Porter's book, claiming the SEX allegations are "disgusting."

Sex usually means when two people dumbass! I know you don't know what that means but a man has a thing called a . The man usually sticks his in a vagina but in this case another man's asshole. And the family finds it "disgusting".

[pkbpkb81]

damn, what if Newman's Own is actually...Newman's Own

i loled

[exstatic]

You people sound like you just found out about Santa Claus or the EB. Hollywood spins this stuff very well. , most people thought Rock Hudson was straight for 30+ on screen years until he dropped half his body weight from AIDS and died.

LMAO @ people getting butthurt because someone they don't know turned out to really be someone they don't know.

I noticed that too.

[MiamiHeat]

Poor you =(

Your noticing skills are lacking =(

Someone in this thread already pointed out more than just the bisexual thing.

Nobody is all butthurt about it I just didn't get what was so hard to understand about the reaction is all. The rumors about Rock Hudson were well known. And Paul having banged babes is no shocker.

Well duh.

You've seen maybe 100 hours of Paul Newman on screen in your life, pretending to be someone else, as actors do for a living, and you think you know who he is?

Butthurt was probably the wrong word, but why is anyone shocked by revelations about people they don't even know, and have never met? That's what's so hard for me to understand about your reaction.

[mrsmaalox]

I don't really care if people are depressed, distressed, impressed or repressed, I just know that Paul Newman was one GORGEOUS mofo and it doesn't surprise me one bit that he could nail any animal, vegetable, or mineral (of any gender) that came his way!

So one should only have a reaction when it is about someone they personally know? I don't get that but that is just me I guess. I mean, I've never met Denzel Washington but if it were to come out he was gay I'd be surprised but I guess I'm just different than most.
