[@bradwoodburn]

I'm so very proud of him. My gaydar never sensed it either. I have had fantasies though because he's hilarious and freaking adorable lol. Makes sense though why he never mentioned it - either he was never asked about his love life and/or it's because out of respect for Josh and his family, they kept it private to avoid publicity which is rather genius.

If this was a surprise then he must be very good actor 4 sure. Give him better movies roles Hollywood!

[@trapez77]

So you audition for a role of someone with an accent and instead of requesting that they give it to someone with the accent you get mad that they don’t change it to your normal accent and your so upset about that then you go audition for and play Taj in van wilder the most offensive stereotypical Indian and then do a spin-off sequel. He didn’t try to avoid stereotypical roles at all he specifically went after them and proudly played those offensive roles . Take some responsibility and stop blaming others.

[@Ghostrider-ul7xn]

They should have never made a character with an accent in the first place. What was the purpose? Its only spreading more racist stereotypes about Indians who already have lots of other negative stereotypes going for them. Most Indians today don't have an Indian accent anyway
