Hollywood’s Busiest Actor takes a WEEK OFF in the Maldives and Teases The Internet With A SECRET LOVER. We finally know who it is!
A week of cryptic photos and countless theories later, we finally have an answer!
Fans of Hollywood’s hottest blonde have been thrown in quite a stir in the past two weeks. From announcements of upcoming projects featuring Jackson Whittemore to his nomination for Best Lead Actor in his latest movie, Time Out. He put in one more surprise in the form of a week spent on the other side of the world in sunny, luxurious Maldives.
The surprise comes not only because he’s taken an entire week off from work, but he’s spent his time on paradise with a secret lover!
On multiple posts across the week, Jackson chronicled their dream vacation together. However, one question plastered itself all over the Jackson-sphere.
Who was this guy?
Appearing to come almost out of nowhere, no one was expecting Jackson to even be in a relationship. He had spent the better half of this year working from one blockbuster to another. Jackson's posts now included the lover more than anything else.
The fans were quick to get to work after the first few posts. Working from nothing but pictures posted by Jackson himself, theories quickly popped up on who it may be.
Some fans, particularly ones who were fond of another actor, Stiles Stilinski, were quick to theorize that it was Stiles who was Jackson’s lover.
Now, there was some strong evidence in this. Both Stiles and Jackson debuted in Hollywood together in the cult classic, Sunsets Never Looked Better. They had lived together while filming took place and their scenes together completely reeked of just absolutely compatible chemistry. They later reunited as co-stars in Tidewater and the press-run had them acting as if they had kept in touch with each other ever since their first movie.
Some fans even went into detective mode and compared pictures of Stiles Stilinski and of Jackson’s secret lover, at least the parts we saw of him. Some even noted how quiet Stiles’ socials were during the week. It wasn’t totally abnormal for Stiles who wasn’t one to be as active as someone like Jackson was; however, the silence only really gave some leeway for this theory.
After the week in paradise ended and a few days of radio silence from Jackson’s socials, we get a post that practically tells us who it finally is. A lovely picture, still not showing Stiles’ face, however, Stiles was tagged in it and the man himself finally broke his silence on the internet with a cheeky comment under it!
