I could be conflating it with something my [straight male] cousin said, that he has a man-crush on Seth Green. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and cast was notoriously popular with the gay audience. ---

Marrying Seth Green is a hell of a long way to go to fake nerdiness. Maybe she’s not as nerdy as him or anything, but I have to believe she’s at least a low level geek. ---

> [@Kamino\_Neko](#): > > [MacFarlane.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_MacFarlane) No d. I really, really have no idea where people keep getting a d from in his name. And I don’t know why people can neither spell nor pronounce Will Ferrell’s name, but here we are. ---

The guy’s wearing a “Beard” as they say in Hollywood. A lot of actors are, but you won’t find out the truth until they’ve made their money, etc. ---

You can observe the two interacting (and doing something nerdy) in an episode of [Tabletop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STpqDELA_MU) from last year where the couple played the rebels in a Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures game. ---

If you were Seth Green in [THIS PICTURE](http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/bg/Seth+Green+Clare+Grant+2011+Primetime+Creative+KqUBkADvZO2l.jpg), you’d smirk too. Yeah, sometimes it’s good to be 5’ 4".

> [@vx6895](#): > > The guy’s wearing a “Beard” as they say in Hollywood. A lot of actors are, but you won’t find out the truth until they’ve made their money, etc. I don’t really feel there’s a lot of this going on in Hollywood anymore. Gay actors may not talk about being gay but they’re not going to bother faking heterosexuality - certainly not to the point of marrying a woman. Nowadays hypocrisy like that would probably hurt your career worse than homosexuality would. ---

In Hollywood they don’t care about hypocrisy, they care about money. You’d be amazed how many of them are doing it. Remember, this is Hollywood everything’s made of plastic. ---

Beyond that, this is base gossip. If Seth Green is gay, then I have at least a theoretical shot at having sex with him. And that’s _important._ But seriously, people have been talking about the sex lives of the rich and famous since we invented wealth and popularity. It’s not going to stop any time soon. “Is s/he gay?” is going to be a part of that from now on. It’s just something you’re going to have to learn to live with. ---

For me, Seth Meyers always seemed like he might be gay, perhaps. But Seth Green? No. ---

That’s my point. Hollywood stars need to protect their image. And in 2015, being in a fake marriage to hide being gay would hurt your image worse than being gay would. ---

Pretty much since attractive women started getting interested in geek culture, but still weren’t interested in having sex with unwashed misogynistic mouthbreathers. ---

Ahhh…THERE’S the context I was missing. “Can’t be a real geek girl if you won’t fuck geek guys!” That’s kind of pathetic.

It’s possible, likely even, that Clare is with Seth because he’s a good guy and she’s a good woman and they genuinely love each other.
