Well, cry us a river, Jon Cryer.
In a video interview with the Huffington Post the Two and a Half Men actor acknowledges that everyone identifies him as gay, but he adds that he’s not, and by the way why don’t more gay men hit on him?
The co-star of your straight brother’s third-favorite sitcom added he has an “encyclopedic knowledge of showtunes,” and that “I’ve never been propositioned.”
This may be a veiled reference to Molly Ringwald’s offhand comments about him from a few years ago. She said that his Pretty in Pink character was gay, which he denied. Then she brought it up again, and made it more personal about Cryer himself: “he kind of had the gay vibe but is not gay.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Jon seemed to throw his hands up in the air at the whole thing, though. “If everybody thinks I’m gay, why aren’t you guys coming on to me?”
Yeah, you heard the guy. He knows everything about showtunes, guys, why aren’t you coming on to him? Maybe it’s because he’s a troll.

John… Don’t ask questions you don’t want to hear the answer to. Just sayin.

Mr. Cryer…you have not presented an attractive package enough for me to be interested…

Matt, I suspect you totally missed that it was self-deprecating humor. He is a comedian, after all.

@vive: In fairness I think Matt gets that, given the link about him being a troll.
Actually I’m not sure he gets that, ha ha. The tone of this writeup is all over the place.

Face it, for many of us he is still Duckie. I wouldn’t have done Duckie then and I wouldn’t now even though I’m a lot less picky than I used to be.

@Ron Jackson: @TrueWords: Oh for God’s sake he was joking.

Guys don’t hit on him because he’s on a really terrible TV show. Who needs that headache.

Deputy Barney Fife never got hit on either, not even by Floyd the barber.

I for one TOTALLY wanted to do it with Ducky! Ferris Beuller would have been welcomed to join in.

While we are talking group action, I also had the hots for Long Duk Dong.

@Miss Understood: I’m pretty sure Gedde Watanabe is gay. He is 59 now.

Fairly benign article that took an offensively nasty turn at the end. What was the point of that?
