Legendary seducers who actually loved men

Some of the biggest Hollywood seducers had to hide their secret for a long time. Although they had relationships with beautiful women, and with some of them they even got married, in essence, they preferred to have men next to them and in their bed.

Hollywood studios with which these stars signed strict contracts, practically forced them to live a double life, and in front of the public, there was only room for females next to them (in most cases they were chosen by the studio).

Rock Hudson, in the early '60s, to his premieres and awards ceremonies went hand in hand with beautiful ladies, but in the company of his boyfriend, who also had a female escort. "No one at the time didn’t want to say the truth about their homosexuality. That would mean the death of a career. We all pretended to be heterosexual. I once met Paul Newman and his wife Joan Woodward at a premiere. He looked at us and laughed. I read on his face that he knew that Rock and I were together. We all laughed at that", revealed Lee Garlington, who Hudson once called the love of his life.

Tab Hunter , a Hollywood beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes, was the reason for many broken hearts, with the image of a boy from the neighborhood and a symbol of American masculinity.

When he was at the peak of his career, tabloids filled the pages writing about his relationships with Natalie Wood and Debbie Reynolds. Later, in the documentary "Tab Hunter Confidential", he revealed how all these connections were staged.

At the time, the Hollywood machinery was hostile to homosexuals. He was also one of many who had to hide his homosexual nature, as well as his relationship with actor Anthony Perkins.

Carrie Grant and Randolph Scott are just another couple who have been forced to hide their love affair. The famous actors met in 1932, during the filming of "Hot Saturday". They soon began living together and shared a home in Santa Monica and Los Angeles for 12 years.

Paramount Studio ordered Grant to marry Virginia Cheryl in 1934, but the marriage lasted only 13 months, and after the divorce, Kerry returned to living with Scott.

One of the few actors who did not hide the fact that he was also attracted to men was Marlon Brando. The Hollywood urban legend says that he rejected Sofia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor, but not Rock Hudson and James Dean.

"Like many men, I have had homosexual experiences. I'm not ashamed of that. I have never paid much attention to what people think of me, but if there is someone who is convinced that Jack Nicholson and I are lovers - let him continue to believe that. It's fun for me", Brando said in 1976 during an interview.
