I don't really watch daytime TV but I work from home most of the time and keep a tv on somewhere in the house and I am constantly seeing this fug person being promoted. Apparently he's on one of the lady chat shows, has what looks like a very, VERY low budget game show and something else I think. He has sharply arched eyebrows and looks maybe early 60s but with some work done. I THINK he used to be on a sitcom, not sure. But how does someone so unremarkable and, random, end up on television so much? He must be making major bank.

He was the prized football jock that Tom Cruise desperately wanted to recruit in JERRY MAGUIRE but ultimately lost him to Jay Mohr.

Oh... LOL! Well I didn't know he'd been in so much! I'm 50, I should remember Stand By Me but I don't. I don't think I actually even saw it. I DID see Jerry McGuire though and don't remember him. But even in R2's pic he doesn't look all that "beautiful" to me. The pic at R5 just looks weird.
I will say that, in the face, at least in R5's pic, he looks a little like younger Josh Hartnett. And I am deeply in love with Josh Hartnett.

Honey, there wasn't a dick in 80's and 90's Hollywood that didn't "score" Rebecca Romijn. I'm sure nobody was clamoring for that by the time she stopped on him.

Weird that OP never heard of him when they’re basically the same age. Jerry has been in front of the camera most of his life. That’s like saying you don’t know Jason Bateman.
My Secret Identity always come to mind when I think of Jerry O'Connell

You clearly are winging it; her first acting roles were in 1998. That's a long time spent on the casting couch.

Prior to O'Connell, Romijn was married to John Stamos for like a decade.

Romijn is now on "Strange New Worlds." She's pretty much lost her looks, but she's a much better actress than I would have given her credit for being.

I'm sure he's totally straight, but he's bizarrely interested in all the comings and goings of the Real Housewives. He seems to watch all the franchises and loves babbling about them on any Andy Cohen vehicle.

Jerry is strange looking much like Joey Lawrence. Too polished and stylized.
Also it is rumored he has/had an eating disorder and an inappropriate relationship with his brother.
I think he seems manic ala Ty Pennington and Mark McGrath.

I remember those rumors from long ago. Jerry and his brother Charlie shared an apartment together in LA for years and it was rumored that they were incestuous. I would've loved to have been in the middle of an O'Connell brothers sandwich!

Brothers sharing an apartment. What a bizarre idea. Of course, they must have been lovers.
I can't imagine wanting your brother as your roommate. Better to get a total stranger who might be a psycho than the brother you grew up with.

r28, they are well known to have shared an entire apartment COMPLEX, not just one apartment...16 units as I remember...they invested their money at a young age and probably are still reaping the rent checks...which go up every year, apparently. True, they did share one of the upstairs units for years, but I think two relatively well-adjusted siblings can do that without being incestuous.

It was more than them sharing an apartment together, they acted very "close" in public.

Why does DL think that whenever two straight men are close as friends or brothers that they must also be lovers somehow?

Granted this is a gossip board and so you are of course free (and welcome!) to post gossip,.
But, that doesn't mean other people can't also post their skepticism about it.

The O'Connell brothers being incestuous was a big rumor in LA in the 2000s. Who knows what's really true.
Jerry O'Connell propositioned a guy he knew was gay to fuck Rebecca Romijn while he watched. That's another old gossip item.
