River Phoenix

He never considered himself bisexual, and indeed claimed to have never experienced sex with a guy until PRIVATE IDAHO. Though there is no confirmation, being how important it was for him to get into character, he hung out with gay hustlers and it is rumored he turned a trick or two to get in the mindset.

I do know of at least one fellow who gave him a blow job. Not a hooker but a friend through Gus Van Sant. This of course doesn't make him bisexual. I do not believe the favor was returned.

Of course, there is that infamous pic of River using his tongue on another guy. Was it Flea, I believe? Not sure. Has to be from the Private Idaho days, no doubt.

I can't believe this thread died. Shoot. I'll keep it going. We were having great intelligent conversation here.

I don't think we had those, but how did River get so athletic in Stand By Me through Running On Empty? That guy must have had a good trainer because he was seriously developing muscles then.

Didn't River claimed to be celibate in an interview somewhere? I guess he did that just to hide his cover or something.

There is a photo of him in his coffin on a website -- findadeath.com -- that's a pretty cool website. river was such a beautiful actor, and person, too bad his last days on the earth were spent in misery. just look at the coffin photo, he looks horrible in it.

I Know. A lot of people don't want look at that photo.

I saw his band play once, not bad. Not great, but not bad.

I think I heard that he had dated Michael Stipe.

Aleka's Attic. Just starting out in the early 90s with River as the lead singer. Never took off when he passed away. Even with Rainbow as the lead, it died quickly and it never did replace with the lyricist responsible for the songs. You could find a song on a movie scene like My Own Private Idaho: Too Many Colors.

Hope that helps. It is during the cafe scene with Reeves and Phoenix.

wow, I can 't believe no one
has mentioned the Merv Griffin incident, yet.
SUPPOSEDLY, Merv was having/at a party and noticed River. He tells his friend he's going to have River before the night is out and starts sending drinks to the then-under-aged actor (15? 16?). At some point, the friend recalls Merv and River disappeared for a bit, then Merv comes up to him saying, "Mission accomplished." or something asinine like that.

you would look horrible to if you were dead!

 

[elegant20]

I heard that. It was hard for River living in that Hollywood lifestyle.

 

[benjames]

i saw an episode of a show called (something like) 'last 48 hours' that looked at the death of river. in the doco a friend of his showed 'selected' footage of the actor 'interviewing' rent boys for his roll in 'my own private idaho'. did anyone see this. why was river only wearing a towel! i can imagine but.......does anyone know where i can find this footage. man that 'peoples church' really fucked up a lot of people

You'll find that in the movie, My Own Private Idaho. That's the magazine scene. After he passes out again, though. Starts at 6:22 and ends about 7:30. He was also in his undies twice in Mosquito Coast and Stand By Me.

[elegant20]

He was the same age as me, though. I was sexually attracted to him, though.

Though he was pretty fit in Running On Empty.
