Jonathan gay?

So were you asking the question about the character, or the actor?

The actor, Danny P., is out as being gay for quite some time now, but well after the show wrapped.
I don't believe the character Jonathan in WTB was ever portrayed as gay, but the actor certainly blurred the character.
He wasn't "flaming", but there was little doubt during the show.



Contrast him with Rock Hudson, who was only outed when he was diagnosed with full-blown AIDS. Even in his later days before then, there were few signs.
That diagnosis sent HUGE shockwaves through Hollywood and around the world, and a LOT of his costars and people he worked with to the doctors for testing... Unfortunately, some got bad news.

Another closeted actor playing straight was the "Dad" in THE BRADY BUNCH.
In later interviews, he related how he was outright terrified over his first kissing scene with Florence (the "Mom", his wife). Although he didn't emphasize it, I believe it was being worried he would be outed... Oddly enough, even as a kid myself, I could tell there was something a little different about him, but I didn't know anything about "gay" back then.


BTW, please notice the first response was deleted, and the response to that one has been criticised pretty strongly... What *we* see in this thread is probably more a response the the deleted reply, more than a comment. Go a little easy people, especially in those cases.

@PrincessMagical You are just too over the top and too stupid for reality aren't you? The OP just asked if Jonathan was gay? The actor who played is gay, but the character wasn't. But as captainamerica-5 said, when he got older you could see it a little more visibly.

No reason for you to call people sick just for asking if someone (even a fictional character) was gay or not. You of all people should be ashamed.



i don't have a sig

Good to hear he is going strong!
Too many child actors do not make the transition well at all.


So many of the Hollywood folks think they will get cast for project after project, "just because", and go nuts on their spending. Unfortunately, some have the misfortune to have their business managers and/or parents spend what they had as income, leaving them with nothing, or less (debts).

Some cling to the Hollywood dream, and spend money trying to get that next casting, and it never comes, but the money has still gone. Then the worst cases spent their own money on drugs and partying.


One of the more notable characters in the movie JURASSIC PARK, was the blond girl, granddaughter of the old man who built the park. Apparently, the actress's contribution to that movie was her only acting role, and she is now a known artist, also distanced from her Hollywood past, and doing well.
