Have you ever thought to yourself, “Gee, I wonder what Zachary Quinto is like in real life? Is he fabulous? He must be!” And don’t even pretend you don’t ask yourself that. We’ve gotten too many Zachary Quinto HGF requests! I know you bitches love him, for whatever reason. Well, prepare yourselves, because this might diminish your crush: he’s kind of a douche. Maybe he was having an off night, maybe he just didn’t want to talk to the press… or maybe he’s a douche.
Last night, the Signature Theatre Company feted Tony Kushner at its 20th-anniversary gala at Espace. There to celebrate the playwright was Mr. Spock himself, Zachary Quinto — star of the STC’s current Off Broadway revival of Kushner’s Angels in America — whom we managed to snag for a brief but extremely personal interview. How personal? You might be surprised!
What’s your post-show ritual?
I like to take showers after the show. And then I read. I’m reading Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom, like the rest of the world. But all these questions are too personal, sorry.Let’s get less personal then. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
Still too personal. Sorry.Is there anything you feel okay talking about?
I’d rather just talk about Tony. I’m just beginning to learn from him, how to string together so many cohesive, multidimensional, layered, and unique thoughts. [Quinto ends interview.]

I would be interested in seeing the look on Quinto’s face when he said “Still too personal. Sorry.” Was he smiling? Was it tongue-in-cheek. Or did he just whip out his bitch for no reason?
In the grand scheme of bitchy actors, of course this doesn’t make the top ten (THAT’S SO TACKY comes to mind). But it is off-putting considering the only sh-t Quinto has done is… what? Heroes and Star Trek? I mean, really? You’re going to whip your bitch out and front like you’re Russell Crowe?

He’s gross and WAY too hairy…look at the backs of his hands! EWW…
What a weird response to some very benign questions. Considering there are “reporters” out there who would probably flat out ask about his sexuality (which I think would be rude and wrong), I think post show ritual and ice cream flavor are pretty generic and harmless.
I don’t really get his appeal, but to each their own.
I don’t get his appeal either. He reminds me so much of Eli Roth!
Ice cream flavor is too personal?
No way was he being serious…
What an ass! Like he thinks he is somebody because he was a main character in a remake? LMAO. Oh, and he needs to fire whoever did his eyebrow waxing, it is very un-natural looking for a man’s eyebrows.
What a douche bag.. He’s no Russel Crowe or any other hot actor. He’s a hairy mess, as a matter of fact, he looks like a hairy ass.
I cannot stand this guy. I always get him and Eli Roth mixed up. I always thought Roth was on Heroes!
I hate actors like him who think they are too important to talk about the little things in life, and can only discuss the enormity of their “characters” BARF!
You just know he has hair on his back or did because I’m sure he has it waxed off. I don’t find him attractive at all either!
I kinda feel I can’t pass judgement without knowing the context and tone this was all done in.
If it was all smiling and whatnot, no big. Not everyone spills their life out for an interview or passing shot, though ice cream is a bit of an odd thing to be touchy about. But then, if a lot of people are obsessing about him, perhaps it was so their wouldn’t be a sudden drop in stock of that particular flavour? Doubtful, but it isn’t unreasonable to want to keep information about oneself to oneself.
Though, if it was in a ruder tone, he’d just be some pompous star with a stick in unmentionable places that just so happens to be a good actor – at least in the one film I know I saw him in (Star Trek).
wasnt he in inglorious basterds?
I’m so glad everyone understands dry humor and satire. His brand of humor isn’t for everyone, but if you’ve watched his other interviews this is clearly a joke.
The original ending to the interview made that more clear as it was “unique thoughts… [he walks away]”. I don’t know why they changed it.
I was a huge fan of Heroes so he gets a pass from me on this one because I’ve seen him in other interviews and he has never struck me as being a “bitch”. I’m guessing he was either having an off night or it was tongue in cheek and it just didn’t come across properly. I could be wrong … I hope I am because if he starts acting entitled than my crush may seriously diminish.
I suspect he was being a bit of a b*tch with this reporter.
Now I might have been the only person who watched it (and loved it) but Tori Spelling did a show “So Notorious” which Zacahry played her gay best friend. So that is who I think of every time I see him.
I think it was a joke interview….meaning I don’t think they even talked to him. He’s always so gracious in interviews, I can’t see him being a bitch. But, he is working an insane schedule right now with the play, so maybe he was having an off night.
And I love his eyebrows. They’re a national treasure.
he’s very freaken furry! yikes! too furry to have an attitude like that.
sidebar: no man should have eyebrows that perfectly plucked.
They seriously need to invent a sarcasm font.
How does anyone find this guy attractive? He brings the fug.
Bitch needs to trim his eyebrows.
We weren’t there so there’s no way to really guage if he was joking or not. Or maybe he was tired and the reporter was the one who was being a douche. Who knows? I do know that I’ve seen many a Zach interview and he’s never given off a bitchy vibe before, despite being asked the most random, inane shit. He’s always been super friendly, quite chatty even. Can you tell I’m a fan? I don’t even care that he’s rumored to be gay. Love his eye-brows, his hirsuteness, the way he speaks. Sigh. I just love him. He and JGL are my forever crushes.
Maybe he heard the question wrong. Like the interviewer asked “What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?,” but Quinto heard it as “What’s your favourite ice cream flavour and are you gay? And if yes, why don’t you dress better?”
Personally I think it’s okay for a celebrity to keep his private life private, but it doesn’t mean he has to be humourless about it.
Eh. He was probably joking.
I know he probably bats for the other team, but I definitely find him hot! Waxed eyebrows and all (I usually *hate* when guys do that, but Quinto gets a pass. Can you imagine what they would look like if he didn’t?)
I’d be his fag hag any day. <3
I looovvved him in Star Trek. I got done watching it and was all “is it odd that I have the hots for Spock?” And could care less if he’s gay, still think his Spock is hot.
He BETTER have been kidding or he needs to be beeaatch slapped!
He is openly gay yes? I hope he isnt trying to hide the obvious.
He should be glad she didn’t get really personal and ask if he was gay. Really…..ice-cream?
He can totally get away with such comments because of his dagger face. Look at those tawny eyes, what a Wog!
Whatever…I wouldn’t f*ck that on a slow night.
He was on 24 for an entire season, actually, but don’t bother checking IMDB or anything.
Ugh, inside and out.
gimme a break, dude…
Those questions were moronic.
Maybe he don’t like ice cream ;-P I think he is a very interesting person. He is smart,sexy, good looking and very funny, I like him very much
