How Baywatch’s Jaason Simmons Came Out To His Costars, Even Though They Knew He Was Gay

How Baywatch’s Jaason Simmons Came Out To His Costars, Even Though They Knew He Was Gay

Jaason Simmons, who spent three seasons splashing around in a short red swimsuit as a sexy Aussie lifeguard on the hit TV series Baywatch, says his costars knew he was gay even before he publicly came out in 2008.

The actor, who with his partner Irish actor John O’Callaghan adopted a Ugandan boy in 2006, sat down with TooFab to discuss the 25th anniversary of the hit series that helped make household names of David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson.

“Everybody knew, I just didn’t speak about my private life, I’m pretty shy and introverted,” Simmons reveals. “So to go in a show when you’re like that, it takes a lot of adjusting. I was like, baby steps. I was in a relationship for the whole time and they were all aware and it was fantastic and no issue.”

Watch the full interview below.

Norman Reedus Discusses Whether Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon Might Be Gay: VIDEO

Norman Reedus Discusses Whether Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon Might Be Gay: VIDEO

Last month we reported that Robert Kirkman, the creator of AMC’s The Walking Dead, answered a fan letter in which he was asked whether Daryl Dixon (played by actor Norman Reedus) might be gay since he hadn’t had any romantic leanings toward any of the female survivors.

Said Kirkman:

“All I can say is that it’s been discussed. We have very specific ideas about Daryl’s sexuality (or the seeming lack thereof), and if there’s ever a quiet period in the show where he’s not consistently distracted by crossbowing… we’ll tackle it in the show.”

Reedus expands on that idea in the current issue of GQ:

I remember Frank Darabont, after the first season we were at a party in LA, He said, ‘I’ve got an idea for Daryl. He’s gay. Would you be interested in that?’ I was like, ‘Let me hear you out.’ He said, ‘Well, he’s prison gay—like, you’ll catch him looking at a member of the same sex, but if you mention it to him, he’ll just stab you and be like what the f–k?—he will never admit it.’ I was like, ‘That’ll blow minds—let’s do that.’ And he said, ‘I knew I hired you for a reason.’ “

Reedus adds that he doesn’t think Daryl is very confident romantically, “[he’s] not the type of guy who’s gonna throw somebody up against a tree in the moonlight.”
