Because his father brutally raped Natalie Wood and it was an open secret.

aye, and Ron Howard is old enough and in the 80s was successful enough a director that he’s a suspect...(and as I mentioned in an earlier comment, I HOPEHOPEHOPE it’s not him cuz I don’t want to imagine how he entered the cycle of abuse on the set of Mayberry or Happy Days...)

I came here to post this, also if it’s Ron Howard, I would have to shoot myself in the head.

I’m thinking Clint Eastwood...

No; Hanks is actively campaigning for Hillary. He did say “we’re gonna be fine” if Trump wins, so maybe not a font of political wisdom. But he’s endorsing Hillary.

I’ll bring the doritos. If it’s Hanks then there’s nothing left to live for on this planet.

I’m a closeted gray, myself.

Just a vibe–the idea he’s a sex symbol has always been lost on me, he seems so cold blooded. Like I’m weirded out that he apparently hasn’t been scandal-plagued. I always thought there must some kind of Hugh Grant/RDJ/Charlie Sheen-type fuckery in his background, but not that I could find much public mention of…

Being a pedophile isn’t the same as being gay, though. We know this person’s a pedo, who targets young men for abuse -- we don’t know that he’s also secretly gay.

Oh, definitely. He wrote, directed, and starred in Rocky (1976). It shot him to superstar A-list fame immediately. He’s a Hollywood stalwart. He’s the right age, the right amount of power, the right access. He’s still making movies bc he can, not bc he’s being allowed to; he’s doing it for fun, not box office.

Jesus Christ, that link. Shit, maybe it’s George Lucas.

Ugh. This theory tracks for me, but I hope it’s wrong, because I really like Martin Sheen. The parts lay out, though.

According to IMDB, Corey Haim was born in 1971, his first credit is 1984. That could have filmed when he was 11, not sure how the timing works, there, but the only guy on the credits who would still be considered an A-list person is Robert Downey Jr. He’s only 6 years older than Haim, which feels too young to me.…

Yeah, if it was Gibson plenty of people would have delighted in ratting him out after that crap.

I definitely see Downey as a victim who managed to come out the other side.

God no please please please. That would be like finding out that Bob Ross and Mr. Rogers were a tag team of serial killers.

It’s gonna be someone we love...and it’s gonna hurt...

If it’s Harry Dean Stanton (and I’ll bet you anything that it wasn’t) I think my heart will shatter into a million little pieces. I just can’t imagine.

And what if Charlie Sheen was also a victim/result of child rape, and was perpetuating it on other kids, or helping to procure kids for older men...? He is all kinds of messed up and one has to wonder why.

Yup. Look how gladly they protected Johnny Depp “We didn’t see bruises, she was ok when we visited!”
