At 90, Richard Chamberlain FINALLY Admits What We All Suspected

At 90, Richard Chamberlain FINALLY Admits What We All Suspected
Richard Chamberlain’s all-around dashing looks paired with his gentlemanly demeanour and prolific acting profile, made him the object of desire and fantasy to many fans. However, despite being very successful in his career, Richard always seemed too busy for romance and remained a bachelor for the longest time - until he wasn't. It's recently been revealed that a huge part of Richard’s image was carefully curated, so stay tuned as we take a look into what lay beneath all the glamour and the hidden challenges Richard faced off-screen.

I had Richard Chamberlain as a client in the late 1980's. He was accompanied by a man younger than he, who I assumed to be a significant other and who I later learned became his husband. Richard was warm, unassuming, unaffected and thoroughly charming. I found him to be one of the most personable high profile people I had dealt with. A genuinely delightful man.

Richard chamberlain is so much more than a gay man. He is one of the finest men ever to grace the stage and screen. His parents must have been so proud of him. He is certainly one if not the most handsome actor i have had the pleasure of watching. His body of work is staggering.and he is aging beautifully. I am sorry to say i have not seen all his work but as a very young woman i watched him as dr.kildare and was hooked. The thornbirds is my go-to movie just watched it again yesterday and it never ages. I wish mr. Chamberlain only the best and especially good health. Richard..you are a national treasure. Blessings.😊❤

[@lisasweeney8158]

I liked Kevin Spacey too. 2 famous gay people. Guess I have no gaydar

[@user-hr3tx6uu9o]

That's when I got a huge crush on him! Beautiful!

[@kimberleygirl7533]

One of the most beautiful men ever.💖

[@user-rq2es2io8y]

He was a survivor in a hostile environment. He should be admired for that.

[@katrinagarland5219]

I've always been a big fan of Richard Chamberlain.. sorry to hear that he is suffering health issues. Living until 90 is nothing to sneeze at.

[@kathrynbellerose6216]

Great actor. At 90 he is still a handsome man.

[@BruceSearle-yc1yj]

I always admired Richard Chamberlain as an actor, but his virtues as a human being far surpass all his other accomplishments.

[@hanagloriaedelblum5693]

I had a crush on Richard Chamberlain from the age of 6. He was my very first crush. Now I understand why. It was not only his boyish good looks but his refined inner sense of good manners.

[@elizabethgatesdodge8320]

Fell in LOVE with him as a 14-year-old when he played Dr. Kildare!❤

[@user-ny9sw6nl3v]

Had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Chamberlain through my dad's work... Nicest sweetest man and actor ever ❤❤

[@karyannfontaine8757]

I always liked Richard Chamberlain. Loved him as Dr. Kildare. I think it was in 1962, he had a recording of "True Love". I so appreciated him as an actor. I rarely missed a movie or show he appeared in. The Thorn Birds was a great movie. I drove a friend of mine to see it. She was close to 70 and I was 18. We both enjoyed it very much. He could act in every roll, any character. I hope he knows he was admired and appreciated for his work.

[@Firebird-65]

Fantastic and brilliant actor! ❤️ Extremely versatile and easy on the eyes! 🙏 healthy recovery

[@debbiekhoury3020]

I watched Dr Kildare when he was a kid and loved him. I think he is the epitome of soft-spokeness .kindness..gentleness. One episode particularly that I remember was the one with Yvette Mimeux. She was surfing and had a seizure and he was very sad. My Mom likened me to her in looks and personality. Thank you Richard for your wonderful career ❤

[@lindakoester8799]

I still have a crush on Richard Chamberlain!! He just reads like a kind soul. God Bless Him. ❤🙏✝️🇺🇸

[@reginateixeira6401]

Unforgetable Dr. Kildare, I was just 9 years old, and he was my crush!!! Soooo handsome, gorgeous, and this little girl understood what she was seeing!💗 Great actor too!

[@annetteegerton6153]

When he played Dr Kildare, I fell in love with him. I was about 10 years old. I still think he's gorgeous today. He has such a kind face and gentle personality. A splendid all round actor. What's not to love? ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariahamblin9527]

I have loved this man since I was 11 years old. He truly is an excellent actor and a true gentleman. Stay well Richard. You are lived. ❤😂

[@mddell58]

...... And, Richard Chamberlain is still ALIVE. ❤ 90 years old.

[@MaryCollin]

Absolutely LOVE Richard Chamberlain. As a family we would always look forward to anything he was in. We’d quickly proclaim every performance as our ‘favourite’. My nieces loved him. It was as if he was a ‘touchstone’ through our generations. And we were all happy when he could live his truth. What a beautiful man, a great soul and oh the joy he’s given so many of us through so many years. I truly hope the J M Barrie quote is true for him: Those who bring happiness into the lives of others, cannot fail to bring it into their own. I send him love and thanks from me, and on behalf of my family. I want to watch his beautifully innocent portrayal of Alexander McKeag in the brilliant ‘Centennial’ again. And Father Ralph - of course. And so much more. Thank you Richard. Be well, be happy. Thank you for a great video here!

[@laurajphillips]

Always loved him, great actor,great human being, stop saying Queer he’s Gay, who the hell cares anyway. Love You Richard!

[@meeeka]

My mother just LOVED that man! Regardless of his identity, he made her very happy for the 25+ years she was house bound with MS. Bless him!

[@georgemendezjr.2353]

I love Richard! He is just fabulous! I loved him in the Music Lovers in addition to his repertoire of excellence💜💜💜💜💜

[@sheilatruax6172]

I loved him in Shogun! His Shogan was much better than the present one. Have watched the new one. Not impressed. Have the original on DVD. He was in an episode of Audie Murphy's Whispering Smith series. Very nice!

[@eileenguthrie5528]

Some big secret, I've known that Richard Chamberlin was gay since the 60’s. Never thought less of him or any other gay person. People are made by God, and God makes no junk.

[@joedwards7194]

What a guy ! Have always loved him !

[@DONNAKLEINSMITH-un6kr]

I was always a big Richard Chamberlin fan!! I was able to see him in person - lucky me! - in NYC when Geraldine Page died and there was a memorial for her at the theatre. What a thrill to see him on stage with other celebrities'!

[@thomasgriffith2953]

He was amazing in Shogun and The Thorn Birds! But i actually temember watching him first as Dr. Kildare, with my parents, on that tv series. Always admired him. 👍

[@frankpaquet295]

Always loved Richard Chamberlain; first in Dr. Kildare, when I was very young and then when he did The Thornbirds; he was so good in that and then when he did Shogun, which was amazing. He's just an all around great actor and I'm so glad that I got to see him in so many things. Can't believe that he's 90 years old! I hope that he can continue for years to come. (from Sandi)

[@joycebishop37]

I have always loved and admired him for his amazing talent . I felt his humanity showed in the roles he chose. Watching this video you have shown the tremendous volume and diverse roles he has done .there are so many I was not aware of and would love to binge watch . ❤ and blessings Richard

He’s so elegant and a talented singing and dancing - my favorite movie of his is the Slipper and the Rose. 🌹 also great of his, The Thornbirds

[@merrymartin3335]

Always loved him. I knew he was gay, like Hudson and so many others - before I even understood sexuality. There’s a sensitivity and gentleness in him,that is so attractive. I wish his career had been longer

I've known this for a long time. I worked at the Stratford Festival Theater in Stratford, Ontario. He used to come there to see his 'boyfriend' at the time. It was a badly kept secret.

[@sharonnitschneider8699]

Such a wonderful human being. I certainly hope he will recover from this medical complication. He was one of the most handsome actors ever.

[@l23918]

Glad he can finally be himself in the world openly.

[@MsBackstager]

I had such a crush on him during his Dr. K days, that I would kiss his image on the TV set. I also was overjoyed to see him circa 1967 at the Westbury Music Fair when he assumed the role of TONY in WESTSIDE STORY. I'm still swooning on his crooning.

[@michaelmcgee8543]

As a young child I remember his debut as Dr. Kildare and Wow! We couldn't believe how handsome and kind he seemed which was confirmed in all the movie magazines. Followed him throughout my life and my opinion of him as a kind, handsome gentleman with mega talent has never changed. I pray for Richard and his eternal soul/spirit in Jesus' sweet name.
