Why do people think he is gay? Is it his fondness for musical theatre?

Musical theater: because straight men aren't supposed to like it. The entire live theater industry has survived for more than a century solely on the efforts and patronage of cat ladies and gay men, don't ya know.

Good looking and well-groomed: because straight men are supposed to be slobs.

Monogamous: because men are supposed to throw it into any woman that walks by. If he's not banging extras on his movie sets, he must be gay.

Gay-friendly: because heteros are supposed to constantly display gay panic. Employing and befriending gay men and not freaking out when people say you're gay is ironclad proof that you're gay.

Adoption: because straight men have fertile sperm. Only gay men adopt. Straight men who have infertile wives are supposed to dump their barren asses and find a fertile young hottie.

Older wife: because what straight man wants an older woman? If that chick's more than 6 months older, she'll steal your testicles and use them as cat toys. Or something. In any case, date women barely out of high school so everyone will know what a man you are.

So take note, straight guys everywhere. You have to be a fugly slob who hates music and joy. You must jump from one quickie relationship with a 21 year old swimsuit model to another. Treat older women like the wastes of time they are. Casually display anti-gay bigotry. Inseminate someone. Failure to do two or more of these things will make you gay. Hella gay.

I'm sorry you cannot hear me applauding. Brilliant effing post.

For real, I wish I could like that more than once.

Wasn't Hugh supposedly more than friends with his business partner for several years? However, I do think the rumors have the life that they do because he's done musicals and has an "old" wife.

[romeat50]

IA. I always thought they started just because he played gay in a musical and had an older wife.I never even heard them until after he was in the Boy from The Oz.

[MrsOldManBalls]

His wife is hot.

Agreed. She has a very Ellen Burstyn-like appeal that I've always found fetching.

I forget who pointed it out but I found it very accurate when they said that she's attractive in the same way that he is. Hugh is very hot but I wouldn't describe him as conventionally handsome. It's the character in his features that makes him handsome.

I don't know many straight guys who would exchange rings with their (batshit racist) personal-assistant-turned-production partners, but YMMV.

I've never heard of this. Do you have a source? Thanks.

I was curious and I found this E! article about their relationship that mentions the rings. Deborra has one as well. Rumors have been started over less so I can see why they exist. However, he doesn't seem to be as ruthless and calculating about PR as, say, Tom Cruise, so it's hard to imagine him lying about being unable to conceive as a cover for being gay.

That's actually the first thing I've ever seen that makes me go, yeah maybe he is gay. That guy looks like a rent boy, he lives with them, he exchanged rings with them, and he's kept around under the nebulous job title of assistant/producing partner, which is the classic way celebrities keep their friends and secret gay lovers employed. (Kevin Spacey does the exact same thing with his longtime secret boyfriend.)
