Did JTT get blackballed from Hollywood due to his *allegedly* extreme political beliefs?


I know that this may sound like slanderous "gossip" or second hand information so we naturally have to take this with a gigantic grain of salt:

He’s a serious hard core alt right guy. I know some people who know his brother. He doesn’t come around the family because they are ‘liberal’

Apparently Tim Allen did a job on him. He’s a birther, is on reddit under fake names and strongly supports trump. Believes in qanon and all far right conspiracies. He’s an incel by choice. He could have women due to his fame and he’s still wealthy. But he’s an angry bitter man who will start denouncing ‘jews’ ‘blacks’ ‘obama’ when he gets comfortable.

That’s the real reason why he’s pretty much persona non grata in Hollywood. The only person who will work with him is tim Allen. Allen is a far right alt right loon as well. They bond over their insane hatred of obama. Tim is more socialized and does a better job of disguising it. They both donate a ton of money to movements that are fronts for white nationalists

Perhaps a lack of talent and hitting the "no longer cute" years also have something to do with his career decline.

Of course, he'd probably rather believe he's being persecuted for his beliefs, some people really enjoy feeling persecuted.

reply

I'd say he's a handsome guy but unfortunately too short for Hollywood fame as a leading man.

He's like 5'4.

reply

Is he a good actor? Because I just looked up pictures of him, he looks too dweeby to ever be cast as a leading man.

reply

Well I haven't seen him as an adult but he played with a lot of self confidence as a 17 year old. Maybe he could have been.

reply

Most male hollywood stars are short. They frame better in scenes with women. Unless the part calls for a physically large man, they don't need them tall.

reply

If you read how they talk l about him and Tim Allen in that link, it's not strange he believes he feels persecuted.🙄

reply

The bastards of the internet talk shit about every actor, celebrity, and well-known person in the world.

reply

I don't believe at all he feels that way. He has never really expressed his political views so why should he feel persecuted? Besides him not being a great actor and his boyish looks getting in the way, another reason he doesn't act all that much seems to be because he is a very shy guy who has always felt uncomfortable with all the attention he got.

reply

Then again, look at Zachery Ty Bryan, so it isn't that far fetched that JTT shares such political views also. He's just much, much more "discreet" about them if this is in fact accurate:

Because another child actor he used to work with is a conservative it's not far-fetched to conclude he is???

I don't want to defend a guy who assaults his girlfriend, but those articles show exactly why conservatives in Hollywood might feel persecuted.

reply

It amazes me that so many kids who have a huge popularity/following drop completely off the radar when their series ends.

I'm no judge of this guy's talent (seldom watched the show) but you would think someone else would cast them in something, simply to capitalize on their popularity.
Popularity = Ratings. Ratings = $$$$$. 🙄

I posted this once before, but according to Taran Noah Smith's mom, JTT faded out of sight in a large share due to his own mother:

https://tvline.com/2013/03/16/last-man-standing-season-2-spoilers-video-jonathan-taylor-thomas-home-improvement-reunion/#comment-list-wrapper

The real reason he left “Hollywood” was because of Home Improvement that whole College ordeal was a flat out LIE he left because he wanted to be a “Independent Actor” but when his movies flopped his mother forced College on him she suffers from ‘Narcissistic Sociopath Disorder’…The cast was happy they left the show all the hell they put everyone through. I’m not very interested in them sadly to say as they ruined a whole bunch of the HI experience for us all. His family has a history of Mental/illness problems ESP from his uncles side.

Most of the time when we knew him we stayed as far away from him & his mom for our own protection he didn’t get a chance to learn to socialize because his mom is so controlling. He couldn’t bring friends to the set for tapings like the rest could. She always has had a VERY sick control over him that explains why no-one knows who he dates he’s that discreet. He’s a recluse doesn’t want to be bothered.

He was never out going much he didn’t get a chance to learn to socialize other than to speak adult to adults to further his career. He wasn’t given a Childhood he wasn’t allowed to play Legos with other Children.
My best advice is to leave them alone people, the last thing ANY girl wants is Claudine as a mother in law. I’m serious she’s sick. I’d hate to see any girls suffer by all means whoever or IF he ever gets married it will end in a nasty (Divorce) as long as his mothers around forget about it. It ended in a nasty Divorce with his her. He’s not worth anyone’s waste of time and energy at all.

It's hard to understand the ramblings of that writer. "His family has a history of Mental/illness problems ESP from his uncles side"??? What does that even mean?

I can very easily believe he had a showbizz mom who very much influenced his career and perhaps also his social life. But I don't think anyone had any serious issue with him because he appeared several times on Tim Allen's recent sitcom.

reply

He’s an incel by choice.


Incel is short for "involuntarily celibate." So it is impossible to be an incel by choice. You can choose to be celibate, or you can be someone who can't get laid.

reply

lol.

he hasn't had a career since lion king, alt right was started some 6-7years ago
