OPEN POST: Some Old Gossip

I recently stumbled across one of the old Blind Gossip archives that I don't recall ever reading:

This handsome actor has worked consistently since he was a teen. He is now one of the stars of a dramatic, patriotic TV series. The show has already been renewed for next season.

We found out something that has never been mentioned in Actor’s bio or in any interviews with him. He is actually the secret son of a famous rock star!

His mother was a groupie decades ago and had a relationship with [Rock Star]. The whole family knows that [Rock Star] is his father, but he’s just not a part of their lives. [Actor] is a very defensive about it. He says that his mom did just fine raising him and they are good on their own. If you try to ask him any questions about [Rock Star], he’ll shut you down. He hates talking about it. They don’t need [Rock Star] to give them money or to help them in any way.

The Actor and the Rock Star are not doppelgangers, but when we put photos of them side by side, we were stuck by about half a dozen physical features (e.g. their eyes, their noses, their smiles, the same unique chin) that seem to be more than just a coincidence.

What makes this really shocking is that the Rock Star in question is not some crazy, irresponsible druggy. He is a well-loved icon who grew up in a middle-class family and is now a family man. He loves his wife, his kids, his sports, and performing for an adoring fan base that never gets tired of his classic songs.

While we would love to see some sort of family reunion between the Actor and the Rock Star, it’s their lives. After all, an admission of paternity after so many years could prove to be a slippery slope!

 

Of course, the internet did its thing and the general consensus is that Rock Star is Bon Jovi and Actor is Kyle Schmid, whose existence I admit I had ZERO knowledge of before - and holy Schmid, the resemblance is uncanny:

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I would be surprised if this were true. I'm just really taken aback by how much they look alike either way! But mostly, I'd like to stress what's really important here, and that is, WOULD, both - all day, on a Bed of Roses, in a Blaze of Glory while Living in Sin. 

What say you, hors? Is Bon Jovi Bon Daddy? What are some of your old favorite Blind Gossip stories from back in the day?
