Talk:Simon Rex

message: In my opinion, links to porn videos should NOT be listed as an external link because wikipedia has people of all ages and should not encourage young people (like preteens or younger teens) to view it. Plus there are admins out there who do not like youtube being linked as an external link due to copyright infringement reasons --dputig07 08:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I haven't seen the picture and am more interested in his contribution to standard entertainment and also I linked here via a Jewish website on Wikipedia as he's listed there as a Jewish Actor, which is in one way proof (possibly) that he is indeed Jewish, although I normally wouldn't expect one to demonstrate that so transparently. I am interested however that as a Jewish person what acting he had done in a purely cultural context that would demonstrate that he was in fact a 'Jewish Actor' or is it really that he is a an actor who just happens to be Jewish ? From  a cultural perspective he probably has had roles that have had him call on his experience as a Jew to play a role that most audiences wouldn't fully appreciate or comprehend, but I think at times his sense of humour is achetypically that of suburban Jewry of shtetylim styling with a enquiring wit that could border on almost talmudic proportions.
It's just a side thought anyway ..............
Hmm... it's nice I'll admit, but is it appropriate for the site?
I think it's just a little bit to revealing for an encyclopedia article... i don't have a problem with it personally, but I could quite well imagine that others would.

text: I don't see what's wrong with it, it's not really a pornographic image. True that he isn't now a porn star, but that's how he started his career and he's still quite famous for it. Anyone who is offended by nudity would be rather foolish to click on a link labelled "warning: nudity", would they not? Cadr 22:58, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  The picture 

message: Anybody can write a bio for imdb, can't they? The adult film claim needs a more reliable source. The editor formerly known as Harmonica Wolfowitz 23:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I returned some of the information about his adult past. I left out the "gay audience" segment, since IMDb is not a reliable source for that. However - just as with his other roles which are listed on the page without a source - the porn films are a matter of fact. Daydream believer2 06:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  IMDB as bio source 

message: He still belongs in the "Male Porn Star" category as well. It doesn't matter if he no longer performs in these. The DVDs are still selling and he is still a star in this industry. All you have to do is a google search on images and you will get images of him masturbating. Doc ♬ talk 15:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Categories

message: i deleted that part "he is a homosexual." as a matter of fact, he has denied that he is gay in public a while ago. unless he comes out one day announce to the world that he is gay, no one should assume that he is "homosexual." and if you have seen the behind scene video made with Brad posey, he actually talked about he cheated on his gf, and he felt really bad, and during the session, he asked to see girlie mags, etc. SummerThunder 08:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: his sexuality

message: "In early of 1999, Rex engaged in a three year sexual relationship with gay pornstar Jeremy Jordan (porn star). The relationship broke off when Rex became involved with British singer Stephen Gately after meeting at the 1999 MTV Music Video Awards."
I deleted this part. i googled it, i didn't find anything about him with jeremy jordan. even if he really did, i doubt that he will tell the whole world about it. i didn't find anything about him with gay singer stephen gately, either. you simply can't find anything about it.

thread_title: deleted possible gossip part

message: To see Simon's surprisingly BIG cock click this link -> []. He is on the second row down, first picture in. Also a second picture is on the row below (third row, first picture!). Enjoy them, I did!
then he tried to change the film name from forsaken to foreskin. haha. 
that was funny, he probably thought that this is a blog or a forum. =) --SummerThunder 10:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: someone wrote this

message: Is there a citation, any place to verify that he has referred to himself as bisexual? Rex fan 22:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I figured he was at LEAST bisexual. In at least one of those videos, he's jerking off to gay porn. --98.232.188.173 (talk) 18:20, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think if you look closely in that picture you can see his reflection in the tv screen and he's just sitting there, not jerking. It was probably just shown to him so he could see what they're going to do with the footage (as it's also a Brad Posey video). Then they editing it in later to make it look like he's jerking to gay porn. --Valacan (talk) 15:10, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh please, that video wasnt edited, he masturbated to that. And ask anybody who used to work at MTV, he got his job because... well lets say one of the multimillionaire gay male executive producers of one of the most influential reality shows in history (its a REAL WORLD out there, by the way) really enjoyed having Simon there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.208.160.64 (talk) 23:21, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if that's true, and it sounds very hearsay, that would make him gay-for-pay, not actually gay or bi. There's a big difference. Valacan (talk) 16:02, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  That is true, Valacan. Unless an individual acknowledges, or there is clear factual evidence of, a particular sexual orientation, nothing should be assumed or "figured", IMO. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 18:20, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Considers himself bisexual?

message: it was stated "Rex is perhaps the only former porn actor to have made a somewhat successful transition to mainstream Hollywood." Yet even the wiki article on stallone states his adult films. This need to be updated.24.193.44.164 (talk) 14:40, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  VJ Career 

message: Before this year there was always a note about the porn videos Simon was in, in the actual article. This was taken out for some reason. In fact this is how the article started, now there's talk about it at all? I know Simon has done a lot since but I think it's not very fair to his past to start leaving stuff like that out because it's controversial. I put it back it but it was taken out again because there seems to be some dispute about how notable it is. . . well this is how I first heard of him and pretty much every biography of Simon Rex anywhere but this site notes it. Here are a bunch of examples:
http://www.diggstars.com/1-20-4213/Simon_Rex.html
http://www.zooped.com/tag/simon-rex/
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005350/bio
http://www.tv.com/simon-rex/person/10163/biography.html
http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Rex,_Simon/index.html
Every one of those mentions his porn past in the article about him. So, can we please put it back in and leave it there? If I don't get any response to this in the next couple of days I will revert my post back in. Valacan (talk) 15:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Info about former porn career in article 

message: He was in a movie called "An American Carol" which made fun of Michael Moore.  Played himself.  I'd add it but I'm too lazy.  Decent movie, though.  Some good laughs.  Tries to teach liberals some lessons on reality.  Check it out!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris1emt (talk • contribs) 17:11, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  music videos 

message: I don't understand why Rex shooting maybe an hour of pornography when he was 19 warrants an immediate mention in his Wikipedia bio. Especially considering that "former pornographic actor" Sylvester Stallone is not introduced as such. Typically, individuals on this website introduced as "former pornographic actors" derived a significant portion of their incomes, or their notoriety, from pornography. I'm going to remove it from the introduction of his bio. 11bkway11 (talk) 23:32, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
