Gordon should say, when the idiot asked him out, lets talk about that after interview. Then say yes, and stand him up. Keep him waiting and say im running a bit late. Stalling him all night. And gordon do what he likes.
I recall first seeing Gordon Thompson on Sunset Beach playing AJ Deschanel whom of which I played also when my siblings and cousin wrote our own Sunset Beach script lol. There was something about him I liked, but after watching Dynasty it was clear how diverse he can be. Shame he wasn't available for the dynasty reunion of 1992, I recall also his appearance in the remake of Poseidon in 2010.
This its an excellent interview with one of my Dynasty favourites. Wow and wow. Gordon is so classy, love his voice. Craig Bennett the interviewer is above and beyond excellent. Keep these coming, please! New subscriber, and thrilled I found this channel. So many showbiz heroes right here.
I was a closeted gay kid in the 80’s growing up in Colorado, and my last name is Carrington. You want to talk about unwanted attention and weird experiences! Our phone number was in the phone book and my parents had to make it an unlisted number because strangers would call us to prank us or ask stupid questions. We were just thankful that no wackos ever showed up at our house thinking the Carrington’s of Dynasty were actually a real family and we were somehow related.
Absolutely stunning interview. Gordon Thomson is pure class plus. He was brilliant on Dynasty as he played evil and conniving so well. Craig Bennett, as the interviewer I keep reading comments proclaiming his interviews are like masterclasses. I could not agree more. Can't wait for the next Celebrity Drop.
I like Gordon Thompson. But you have to at least believe him what he said about Charlton Heston. Gordon Thompson if reading this Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪. I liked Dynasty , along with Dallas and knots landing. Plus please come to Ireland 🇮🇪, especially Limerick the South part of Ireland 🇮🇪.
He is a wonderful man , an excellent actor and I am so happy he is sharing some of his life experiences instead of keeping it all to himself and nobody knows the other sides to this human being , his integrity , his history, in his own voice of words . Thanks to Mr. Thompson for revealing what he has .
I loooove Gordon Thomson. So incredibly HOT. The way he speaks. I mean he could make the phone book sound great. ❤❤❤❤❤ Good for Gordon to still keep him and say no I won't sleep with you and keep his power and self worth and sleep so he'd be a star.....so horrible to have people prey on anyone and use their power
ALWAYS LOVED GORDON!!!!! Great actor and even though Adam was a bad boy on "Dynasty", I ALWAYS enjoyed his performances!!!! Also, still GORGEOUS!!!!! Much love, Gordy!!!❤
I am watching all of the Dynasty episodes on Prime now. The addition of Adam in S3 was just as impactful to Dynasty’s ratings as Joan Collins. The show blew up with the Adam/Kirby/Jeff storyline.
This is what Mr. Thomson told the Daily Beast in 2017. He actually says that he is comfortable discussing the issue, but also talks about his own journey coming to terms with his sexuality. “It’s not something I’ve ever announced. I’m assuming that people know, and now that I’m my age that’s fine.” “I don’t go out of my way because it’s my generation, I think. I’m probably as homophobic as any gay man alive because of my background.” “While I was growing up it [homosexuality] was a crime, and then classified as a mental illness. It was not until Pierre Trudeau was prime minister of Canada when I was 23, 24-years-old, did it cease being a crime.” “It was not until I was nearly 30 that it stopped being classified as a mental illness in the US. So you’re dealing with that. And the shame, the breathtaking lack of self-esteem, has only just begun to seep out of my soul.” --- His comments in the 2024 interview do not support his statement that he was “outed” in 2017. If an interviewee does not want to speak on the record, they typically tell the journalist: “This part of the conversation is off the record.” I know the Daily Beast writer, and I have always known him to be a journalist of the utmost integrity. I don’t understand why Mr. Thomson is saying he was outed. 1. He was very experienced dealing with the press, and 2. He talks openly about his complicated relationship with his own sexuality in the 2017 interview.
I couldn't stand Adam Carrington, and always wanted him killed off the show. I think my despising him was a testament to how well Gordon played the part. This interview was really intriguing. I never would have guessed he was gay, but he sure was evil on the show!
Gordon in Dynasty I was in love with you so handsome so elegant sometimes so bad, but always adorable, you still are a handsome man and thank you for existing.
@@hardren101I didn't notice that as a teen watching Dynasty! But after watching it on Pluto TV the last few months, I can see Adam looked way older than 25. I googled Gordon Thomson and saw that he was actually 36 or 37 when the Adam character was created 😉
@@QueenAlexis556 It is very True that Joan felt he was to old to play her son, but she has also stated publicly that after she met him, she quickly got over it..
Watched Dynasty in college and beyond. Loved to hate Adam, incredible casting, he even LOOKED like he could be Joan Collins's son. But what Adam also had was Joan/Alexis's archness and camp...which is something the actor brought to Adam, unknowingly I believe because there they were in this interview. We all just assumed the actor was gay playing straight DECADES ago! And when I lived in WeHo in the 90s, I heard stories of a couple of Gordon's escapades there in his heyday. My point being he was IN?! Not only did I never hear about this asswipe little "journalist" outing him, I never knew he WASN'T out lol! None of this is meant as criticism. Gordon Thomson was the perfect actor for Adam Carrington & played the hell out of him. He legit carved a niche for himself in pop culture history!
I also was bummed out when Al left and Jack replaced him. But Jack grew on me and the scenes of him and Adam's fights were outta this world! I hated they replaced the first Fallon too.
He was such a classy debonair sophisticated good actor. Was there anybody sexier ? … uh ..NO!!!! And omg… his stories are great and he’s still sexy!!!!
Really lovely interview. Would adore to see Cocktails with the Carringtons - what a hoot that'd be. Bravo Mr Thomson for your bravery and candor. Craig Bennet strikes again with an exceedingly excellent interview. How this channel does have more subscribers is a riddle. Love each and every interview, they're so well researched and executed. Keep them coming.
I've been watching the original Dynasty run on Pluto TV, and Adam has got to be one of my favorite characters. He's just so complex and you never know which way he's gonna lean. Great work sir.
This is an excellent interview. Mr Gordon Thomson is pure class. Love his rounded tones and beautiful speaking voice. He was great in Dynasty. Love his openness and honesty. Thank you Craig Bennett and Celebrity Drop. Love being a subscriber and await every interview :)
Vick, I give you kudos for the type of host you are. You have that 'it' in spades. Gordon is an awesome actor. So down to earth and honest (another Canadian here, eh!🍁) Hope 'Cocktails with the Carrington's gets to travel up to Canada one day!
Gordon is awesome and a great actor. I've been watching Dynasty non stop on Pluto TV and it looks fantastic and it looks remastered. An awesome show with a gorgeous cast. All the women and men looked fabulous and what a fun show! Thank you for this interview
I really enjoyed this interview. I loved watching "Dynasty" and Mr. Thompson played Evin Adam so amazingly well. I didn't know that his being gay was a secret. I remember hearing stories about him back in the 1980's. I guess that was more gossip and nothing confirmed.
I am so proud of Gordon. Good for him for keeping his head high after being outed but never should have had to have some classless little nothing reporter to out you
This is terrific. Craig, you've done it again, being expertly able to entice the best from your guests. I have been hanging out for another Celebrity Drop interview, and Gordon Thomson is 100 per cent engaging and a delight to listen to. Best of luck Mr Thomson - you are class and talent personified.
I would have never guessed since he is such a good actor. His character Adam was extremely girl crazy in a creepy sort of way lol! His scenes with Kirby (Kathleen Beller) were pricceless! ❤ I just recently found out that Kathleen Beller married the "Blinded Me With Science" singer Thomas Dolby in the '80's. I would have never guessed, and they're still married 💕
Beautiful interview 😊Dynasty is right up there for me, loving the show, with Dallas, Knots Landing, and Melrose Place. I love the Joan Collins comments. Sounds like the cast were all a great team. I’m sorry someone invaded his privacy. What he does in his private life, should be private. Thank you❤
I remember Gordon way back when he did the 1980 GM Car Show. Jane Eastman was also part of the acting crew. It was wonderful meeting him and working with him. Wonderful memories
OMG I can’t believe this! What a massive treat to hear thee Gordon Thomson in such a great interview! I started watching Dynasty from the start, and once Adam came on I was in total AWE!!! I luv luv luv Gordon/Adam. And I felt such compassion for Adam, and the meaner and more dastardly Adam was the more compassion I felt for him!!! Omg of all the stars on Dynasty, Gordon is the one I’ve always wanted to meet in person,,,just so I could tell him how much he affected me, all through my teens, as I watched Dynasty RELIGIOUSLY. Luv luv luved it when Adam was with Kirby (Kathleen Beller). I thought Adam and Kirby were such a magical paring. There was SO MUCH territory to cover with Adam/Kirby. Sure wish they had explored the two of them more. And how amazing does he look??? He looks AMAZING!!! My lord! Still has all that gorgeous charm and sexiness!! But what a treat to hear Gordon talk about his early career, and his personal life,,,, I had no idea he was outed by someone other than himself,,,and his wonderful days on”DYNASTY”! Here’s to you Gordon 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Me too. I watched Dynasty from the beginning. "Oil" being the 1st episode. The show got tremendously better when Joan & Gordon appeared in Season 2. By Season 3, I was HOOKED! And I had a huge crush on Mark Jennings ❤ They actor who played Mark (Geoffrey Scott) passed away a few years ago 😭 almost 80 years old
I loved, Dynasty and still do. And I am a big Gordon Thompson fan. As a gay farm boy who was outed to my bigoted family and farm community, I was appalled, terrified, vilified, so much so that after caring for my mother ( who had Alzheimer’s/ dementia) for a year a half, was not even allowed to attend her funeral. When people say to me that it’s easier now being gay, I say: “No. It’s just more unacceptable to show your open contempt for gays because of rules in the workplace and laws that make discrimination more of an issue.” But the TRUTH is: Get the wrong leaders in office, or a series of bigoted leaders with an agenda and our few rights would be squashed to the delight of most people in this country. Cheers to you, Gordon! 🥂 Thank you for your story and courage. ❤
Thanks for sharing your story. Goes to show you think it's 2024, but in some instances its still the 1950's. All manner of prejudice continues to run rampant. Live and let live, I say.
Yes. I live in a city that was a refuge for so many coming out back in the 60s and 70s and the tales of horror of being kicked out, disowned were heartbreaking AND the occasional outing of someone like the guy who saved Reagan when that woman shot him and Brady. The good Samaritan was outed by a local editor. His family then disowned him. He was a well known columnist. The gay good samaritan lost his lawsuit of course because columnist was well connected politically and with city hall. The good samaritan drank himself to death in an SRO from heartbreak. Gordon Thomson. Wow!!!
As an Actor, and as an iconic Sex-God, Gordon Thomson has always been in possession of "IT".----The nearly indescribable "X-Factor" that is known as true Star Quality. And, one of my earliest of fond memories, was watching him star within "The Polka Dot Door"; a children's show that is a great study of teaching a young actor to believe in the power to Imagine. One of his episodic recreations of a children's book about a king who wanted a little butter for his piece of bread--clearly--remains among my happy memories. That show--for me--was captivating and educational. And, like his other performances that I've been blessed to see (some of which were not mentioned because of presumed time-constraints), all of them remain--happily--"with" me. I thank-you for this exceptional interview.
Video molto interessante mi piaceva moltissimo gordon thomson in Adam Alexander Carrington il bad boy (c erano in TV già jr in dallas, trey in capitol che era anche lui era bad boy, perché la famiglia era incrinato e spezzata,) è stato bravissimo ad interpretare il delfino dei carrington, si vedeva che aveva sofferto per essere solo ed era violento per reazione e mi piaceva moltissimo la love story con kirby/kathleen beller, di più di altre love story di ripiego di Claudia, poi Dana, si vedeva che era un surrogato, Adam ha sempre amato kirby. Dynasty mi piaceva moltissimo per la classe e professionalità di tutti loro, mi sono rifiutata di vedere il reeboot di dynasty l ho trovata assurda e orribile, lui e gli altri, avrei preferito un continuo con loro. Grazie di averci fatto sognare.
So sad many young people in music & acting were preyed upon. Looks like p Diddy is being revealed...., like T Hanx and Oprah...i hope justice will prevail. Kudos to those who stood up to the pimps in show biz.
Such a classy guy and brilliant and informative interview. Gordon is such an underrated actor. ❤
Gordon should say, when the idiot asked him out, lets talk about that after interview. Then say yes, and stand him up. Keep him waiting and say im running a bit late. Stalling him all night. And gordon do what he likes.
I loved Gordon as Adam...we all did...so good looking! xxxx swoon xx so naughty! x
His voice sounds exactly the same as it did on Dynasty. With his salt & pepper hair now he looks like he could really be Blake’s son.
Excellent interview, love this. Brilliant memories, thank you Mr Bennett for an exceptional conversation with Mr Thomson.
What a fantastic interview!

What a lovely man! I am glad I finally saw his real self bc honestly as Adam he gave me creeps. But I guess it shows how great he is as an actor.
Yes! I loved that creepy Adam Carrington smile 😁🤭
78? He looks amazing. He’s so expressive and his eyes are vibrant-such a youthful energy. I want to be him at his age. I want to be him now. 👏🏼
no kids will do that.
Gordon Thomson is such beautiful man ....loved him on Dynasty ...he was vile.
Between Gordon Thompson and John James being shirtless....all the time....I definitely looked forward to Wednesday evenings❤
This is like a master class for doing an interview. Both interviewer and interviewee are superb.
Gordon still looking handsome as ever❤
I like Gordon Thompson. But you have to at least believe him what he said about Charlton Heston.
Gordon Thompson if reading this Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪. I liked Dynasty , along with Dallas and knots landing. Plus please come to Ireland 🇮🇪, especially Limerick the South part of Ireland 🇮🇪.
We also have to remember that Charlton Heston is dead and cannot defend himself when such things are brought up. R.I P.
He is a wonderful man , an excellent actor and I am so happy he is sharing some of his life experiences instead of keeping it all to himself and nobody knows the other sides to this human being , his integrity , his history, in his own voice of words .

I never knew that Gordon was theatre trained, but I should have! That marvelous speaking voice!
Very good interview. Now I need to watch Dynasty from the very beginning, again (last watched it when first televised in the UK)!
ALWAYS LOVED GORDON!!!!! Great actor and even though Adam was a bad boy on "Dynasty", I ALWAYS enjoyed his performances!!!! Also, still GORGEOUS!!!!! Much love, Gordy!!!❤
Hello Gordon from Toronto....he was the male Alexis...no ...he was far more sinister......
I never liked Adam - he was sooo mean lol but I always loved Gordon !! He has the best smile !
I am watching all of the Dynasty episodes on Prime now. The addition of Adam in S3 was just as impactful to Dynasty’s ratings as Joan Collins. The show blew up with the Adam/Kirby/Jeff storyline.
I never knew Gordon Thomson,was this age 😮 he looks very youthful and naturally handsome
Gordon 11 years younger than his "Mother"the great Joan Collins ,I was shocked..
He is still handsome.
Great delicious interview. Nice to see Adam healthy and still looking good. Can you interview Heather Locklear next?
The outing segment is VERY welcomed. Glad Gordon got the chance to tell him side of the story. I’ve met him once in person and he was a class act.
This is what Mr. Thomson told the Daily Beast in 2017. He actually says that he is comfortable discussing the issue, but also talks about his own journey coming to terms with his sexuality.
“It’s not something I’ve ever announced. I’m assuming that people know, and now that I’m my age that’s fine.”

He does not look like he’s 79 years old. Maybe 60-ish.
Gordon in Dynasty I was in love with you so handsome so elegant sometimes so bad, but always adorable, you still are a handsome man and thank you for existing.
He always seems a really great and entertaining guy... Always love his stories especially his impressions of Joan lol and he just seems a class act
Joan was only 12 years older than Gordon, so I think we can forgive her initial reservations about his age... (As for being outed at 72. wow.)
I was a kid during the Dynasty run, but also felt Thompson was too old to play the character.....

Wow Adam came in with all the tea! Such a cool interview, his voice is so unique & identifiable. & wow 🏳️🌈 I did not know ❤
Not surprised that Joan Collins or anyone for that matter finds him attractive he is sooooo hot!!

Wow what a gift thank you 😊😊😊, Dinasty great tv show 🙌🙌🙌
i hope than Gordon feels more comfortable now about being gay
than he felt back then. Dynasty is still present in so many people’s live.
It is hard enough to come out in your late teens. Personally, as I age, I am not sure if coming out when you are old and vulnerable is a good idea.

Very eloquent and on point. Thank you!
You are very brave....whether u know it or not......
Yes. I live in a city that was a refuge for so many coming out back in the 60s and 70s and the tales of horror of being kicked out, disowned were heartbreaking AND the occasional outing of someone like the guy who saved Reagan when that woman shot him and Brady.
The good Samaritan was outed by a local editor. His family then disowned him. He was a well known columnist.

What a class act. Enjoyed the interview
Hi Gordon. I'm a fan from Singapore.
What a lovely surprise! Thank you!
* I think it's Tim Teeman who outed Gordon...
"And traffic's all backed up due to a mattress on the freeway. A mattress? Uh-oh. Joan Collins must be in town." - Great Simpsons quote.
I never missed Dynasty think it was Thursday or Friday night at 8 on BBC1 when it ended I was about 18 . fancied Adam😊
It the same in Ireland 🇮🇪 as Dynasty, Dallas and knots landing were big shows in Ireland
Happy Belated Birthday, Gordon!!!❤🎂
I was astonished when I saw the scene with this wonderful lady and Gordon watching in the mirror. A favorite of mine.
Great interview, many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
So sorry, that Pam, "Claudia" got burned up at the Hotel.
He looks great!
As an Actor, and as an iconic Sex-God, Gordon Thomson has always been in possession of "IT".----The nearly indescribable "X-Factor" that is known as true Star Quality. And, one of my earliest of fond memories, was watching him star within "The Polka Dot Door"; a children's show that is a great study of teaching a young actor to believe in the power to Imagine. One of his episodic recreations of a children's book about a king who wanted a little butter for his piece of bread--clearly--remains among my happy memories. That show--for me--was captivating and educational. And, like his other performances that I've been blessed to see (some of which were not mentioned because of presumed time-constraints), all of them remain--happily--"with" me. I thank-you for this exceptional interview.
EXCELLENT interview
Happy birthday gordon thompson❤
Video molto interessante mi piaceva moltissimo gordon thomson in Adam Alexander Carrington il bad boy (c erano in TV già jr in dallas, trey in capitol che era anche lui era bad boy, perché la famiglia era incrinato e spezzata,) è stato bravissimo ad interpretare il delfino dei carrington, si vedeva che aveva sofferto per essere solo ed era violento per reazione e mi piaceva moltissimo la love story con kirby/kathleen beller, di più di altre love story di ripiego di Claudia, poi Dana, si vedeva che era un surrogato, Adam ha sempre amato kirby. Dynasty mi piaceva moltissimo per la classe e professionalità di tutti loro, mi sono rifiutata di vedere il reeboot di dynasty l ho trovata assurda e orribile, lui e gli altri, avrei preferito un continuo con loro. Grazie di averci fatto sognare.
Gilda was a class act. Gone way too soon
So sad many young people in music & acting were preyed upon. Looks like p Diddy is being revealed...., like T Hanx and Oprah...i hope justice will prevail. Kudos to those who stood up to the pimps in show biz.
Wow very nice
He was gorgeous!
Gosh you are great at your job - wow
I wished that this excellent interview could have mentioned or touched upon Gordon Thomson's 1969 movie with Don Stroud EXPLOSION.
Great interview. His voice is pure gold. Loved Gordon on Dynasty ❤
Adam Carrington
