Jon Cryer: ‘[Gay men] don’t come onto me. I’ve never been propositioned. Fellas, you’re dropping the ball”
Jon Cryer’s character on Two and a Half Men isn’t gay and yet on next week’s episode of the CBS sitcom, he’s getting married to a man.
In real life, Cryer has been married to second wife Lisa Joyner since 2009 and yet he has often been mistaken for being gay.
Cryer, 49, tells HuffPost Live that the confusion is likely because he is an ‘effeminate heterosexual dork’ and has an ‘encyclopedic knowledge of show tunes.’
He added: ‘All of the stereotypical stuff that everybody thinks the gay community holds close, I have been a part of, except for the gay sex.’
If he had been gay, Cryer doesn’t seem to think he would have been exactly in demand when it comes to gay men.
‘They don’t come onto me,’ he said. ‘I’ve never been propositioned. Fellas, you’re dropping the ball (laughs).

I love this actor. He’s cracks me up with some of the stuff he says. As for the same sex marriage storyline, I like the idea of two heterosexual men getting married to each other. I mean there are all kinds of marriages out there from traditional, open, arranged, same sex to maybe someday even polygamy. I see nothing wrong with two straight guys forming an economic unit based on platonic love and wanting to raise a family together. It’s no stranger than say someone like Bryan Singer having a child with his ex-girlfriend.
