Owen Vaccaro: Marky Mark's son wins three Girls of His Dreams, posts girl-hugging photos, but is he gay? With Marky bottom and twink d*cks

Link to the n*de dudes

In the short Silver Fox (2024), not to be confused with the 2017, 2018, 2023, and upcoming movies with the same name, famous gay comedian Joe Fox (writer/director Julio Vincent Gambuto) returns to his home town for a show, and in his dressing room, announces that he's going to do it in drag.  His oldster friends, Nick and Brian (Dan Butler of Frasier, Alec Mapa of Ugly Betty), disapprove: the audience is coming for gay jokes, not a political statement.  

But his twink assistants, Chris and Rocco (Logan Rozos, Owen Vaccaro), think that the idea is fabulous.

The conversation moves from outfits to gay assimilation, straightwashing, the younger generation's debt to the gay people who came out during the homophobic 1980s and 1990s, their debt to the Civil Rights Movement, how gay stereotypes have changed over the years,  how we should handle the newly revived homophobia and transphobia of the fascist state...

Wait -- Owen Vaccaro?

Could there be another one?

If you see every movie that Mark Wahlberg is in, because he's friggin' Marky Mark, then you've seen Daddy's Home (2015): Mild-mannered Brad (Will Ferrell) is trying to be a good father to his wife's kids.  When their biological father Dusty (Mark) shows up, he assumes that the guy is a jerk because he's muscular and rides a motorcycle.  The two try to one-up each other in being The Good Dad.    Eventually they decide to co-parent.  

It was not a great movie. But Marky Mark took his shirt off...

And Will Ferrell's not bad, either.

10-year old Atlanta-based actor Owen Wilder Vaccaro played their son Dylan.  He displays the interest in basketball and girls that characterizes all preteen boys in Hollywood movies. 

I didn't see the sequel, Daddy's Home 2 (2017), regardless of the possibility of Marky Mark with his shirt off, but I just went through it on fast-forward. The dads' Dads show up for Christmas, and try to one-up each other in similar situations.  12-year old Dylan gets "the talk," tries to impress the Girl of His Dreams, and finally kisses her.   

The only queer-coded moment comes when various girls line up to kiss him under the mistletoe, and a boy is #8 in line (maybe Colton Osorio).  It's a throwaway gag: a boy wants to kiss a boy?  How ridiculous!

Owen's next film, The House with a Clock in its Walls (2018), is a fantasy based on the 1973 novel by John Bellairs: an orphaned boy (Owen) goes to live with his uncle (Jack Black) in a mysterious old house, fights an evil sorcerer, and gets a girlfriend. Annoyingly heterosexist.

There are two posts with gay content in Owen's social media.  In May 2018, he poses with pride merchandise and says "Hooray for Target! Love wins!" (This was before the department store chain gave in to the Orange Goblin and removed LGBT people from its website and its shelves).  

And in December 2018, he is shown hugging a girl named Carly.  His shirt depicts an astronaut with a pride flag on his visor.  Comments mostly assumed that they were a romantic couple, but one said "I think it's a platonic friendship."

But there's nothing of gay interest in his movie roles:

My Boyfriend and My Satanist Ex-Boyfriend at Thanksgiving Dinner: A Kelvin/Keefe Adventure

 "Mama!" Keefe exclaimed.  "Why on Earth did you invite my ex-boyfriend to Thanksgiving Dinner, when you knew that Kelvin was coming?"

She frowned.  "Well, why not?  Daedalus came to every Thanksgiving and Christmas for five years.  And your nephew Austin's piano recitals. Jimmy called him 'Uncle Daedus.'" He's part of the family.  Just because you broke up for some crazy reason doesn't mean we have to break up with him, too."

"I found God, Mama! Isn't that what you wanted for me?"

"All I ever wanted was for you to be happy.  And you were happy with Daedalus.  A lot happier than you seem now, when every word I say makes you uncomfortable or angry, and the wonderful Reverend Gemstone treats you like his personal servant.  Now, does this casserole get onion rings on top, or not?"

Clayton Spencer: the n*ked guy from "Bone Lake" stunts, doubles, brags about the hunky actors he's...um...met. With Clay and co-star d*cks

 

Link to the n*de photos

This morning the n*de celebrity website posted some photos and videos of Clayton Spencer: he and a woman run through the woods n*ked and are skewered by arrows. 

Ordinarily this would be too heteronrmative to research further, but I was intrigued because:

1. The shots were from Clayton's only movie. How many actors show everything in their first and only movie role?

2. He has only two acting credits and no stunt credits listed on the IMDB, but his photos display him in eight movies.  Which is it?

Searching for "Clayton Spencer" and "actor" or "stunts" yields:

A 10-year old Wiradjuli boy from Sydney, he/him and they/them pronouns, who attends the Brolga Dance Academy.  

A teenager who starred in Radium Girls at the Lakeland Performing Arts Center in Florida

Just "Clayton Spenser" revealed: 

The President of Bates College (a woman)

A CEO from Austin

A musician whose album "Roads" is about how he found God.

An attorney in Vancouver.

A professor of chemistry.

At least four college athletes.

Two guys on hookup sites.

A character on Seal Team played by Max Thieriot

I found our Clayton Spencer's Instagram after sorting through eight others: "Spencer for Hire 83," a reference to the crime drama starring Robert Urich (1985-88), and presumably his birth date.  He says that he is from North Carolina, and in the film and "aerospace structure tech industry," but there is no other biographical data.  No pictures of family and friends, nothing from his vacations and the concerts he's attended, no beefcake, just some photos of movies he's been in.

Clayton's Reddit, more of the same: we learn that he lives alone, but otherwise it's all reviews of  Peacemaker and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, complaints about the Orange Goblin, and "side-mounted my ecoflow alternator charger for better airflow." 

Living alone at age 43?  No personal photos?  I'm beginning to think that Clay Baby is gay. 

An article in The Hollywood Reporter reveals a little more: in 2009, which would have been a few years after his college graduation, "comic book nut" Clayton was working as a teacher in Seoul, Korea.  He stopped at a Quiznos before an opening night screening of X Men: Wolverine.  And Wolverine Hugh Jackman was standing in line behind him!  They chatted briefly. 

Clayton told the story on Reddit, 20th Century Fox found out, and in 2017 flew him to New York for a Logan fan event.  Hugh Jackman remembered the "Quiznos guy" and gave him a t-shirt. Presumably the lady in the middle is Clayton's wife or girlfriend at the time.

Dude keeps his private life private.  So let's check out the movies that he claims to have been in, but the IMDB disagrees:

Sweethearts: Thanksgiving romcom proving that there's gay life in Kansas...um, rural Ohio.. so don't move to Oz

Link to the n*de dudes

Christmas romcoms are always about women leaving the Big City to find infinite joy and belonging in small towns.   Gay men can't relate, since they high-tailed it away from homophobic small towns to Big City gay neighborhoods.  

Sweethearts, on MAX, is a rare Thanksgiving romcom that pushes the small town.  There's gay life in Kansas.  Why move to Oz?

The premise: two life-long best friends are going to the same college but distance-dating the boy/girl back home: 

1. Ben is dating Claire, still in high school.

Ben is played by Nico Hiraga, left, a former semi-pro skateboarder. He has appeared in Booksmart, Love in Taipei, Goodrich, and The Power.

2. Jamie, a girl (Kiernan Shipka), is dating Simon (Charlie Hall, left), who is dumb as a fence post but got into Harvard on a football scholarship.  Say what? 

 The long distance relationships  aren't working out, so the two make a plan to break up with their partners when they all go home for Thanksgiving.  

Obviously they're going to get together or it wouldn't be a romcom.  I'm fast forwarding through their scenes to get to Palmer (Caleb Hearon), the flamboyantly feminine "third friend" pictured in the animated opening. He's probably the standard romcom gay best friend who facilitates the romance, but maybe he'll get a boyfriend of his own.

Correction: I'm also interested in Ben's college roommate Tyler, played by Zach Zucker , a "Bad Bi Boy Clown" -- literally. He trained for two years at the Ecole Philippe Gaulier.  

On his Facebook page, Zach notes that "Bi Visibility Day is cool because it forces all of the people who have caused you pain by denying your existence to look at your pics."  

His character is introduced smooching a girl in bed, but maybe he's bi:

He looks at Ben's fake id and comments: "I'll go out with you.  Just kidding."

Ben has his hands full, so he asks Tyler to take his cell phone from his pocket.  "Whoops, wrong phone.  Just kidding."  

He seems to be dancing with Ben in the closing party scene.

And that's just when  I paused the fast-forwarding.

Paris: "Third Friend" Parker is introduced at Minute 15, calling the duo, wearing a striped shirt and beret, sitting in front of an image of the Eiffel Tower.  He took a gap year after high school to move to Paris, and he is working at a fast-food place near Euro Disney.  Why would visitors to Euro Disney want to see fast-food workers in clichéd French costumes?  

He announces that he is no longer "vaguely pretending to be straight." Really?  Who would think you were straight after talking to you for 30 seconds? 

He'll be coming out to a select group of former classmates at a party at his house on the night before Thanksgiving.

More after the break, including a rural Ohio gay community.  Caution: explicit.
