‘Community’ actor Joel McHale has been married since 1996 and has two children, but he is still often mistaken to be gay. He admits that he doesn’t have a problem with the common error but finds it amusing. He once accidentally hung out in a gay bar on his own and suddenly realized why the guys were so interested in him:
“Back when I had just moved to L.A., before I was on any show, I was meeting a friend at a bar connected to this restaurant we went to. When I got there, I was the only one in the bar. While I was messing with my phone, I didn’t notice the whole bar fill up with men. Guys kept coming up, asking, ‘What’s going on, man?’ I figured they’d seen the commercials I was in. Then I realized that these men were coming on to me because I was alone in a gay bar.”
He says that guys often tweet at him revealing details of where they are staying, believing that Joel might be interested in a gay hook-up and he jokes that he has to think about it:
“Much like in Say Anything, guys usually stand outside my house with a boombox over their head blasting the Indigo Girls, actually, guys sometimes will tweet me, ‘I’m in L.A. Staying at such-and-such hotel. What do you think?’ Of course, it all depends on the quality of the hotel.”
