Director Joel Schumacher Says He's Had Sex With 19,999 More People Than The Average Blogger

PAGE SIX – Turns out Joel Schumacher‘s box-office figures aren’t the only sky-high record he’s got.

The 79-year-old director of smashes like “St. Elmo’s Fire,” “Batman Forever” and “The Lost Boys” recently gave a wide-ranging interview to Vulture in which he detailed some of the more fabled elements of his past, including his drug use and promiscuity.

“Have you ever guessed the number of partners you’ve had?” interviewer Andrew Goldman asked him, to which Schumacher responded, “It would be in the double-digit thousands, but that is not unusual.”

“Double-digit thousands. You mean like 2,000 or 3,000?” Goldman responded. Schumacher corrected him by clarifying: “That’s not double digits, that’s single digits.”

After Goldman corrected his estimation to “20,000 or 30,000,” Schumacher narrowed it down to “10, or 20.” (Again, that’s thousand.)

If you took a census of the Barstool office re: amount of sexual partners, you’d fall somewhere between 0-1, with an outlier of 5 when you get over to Nasty Nate’s desk.

In contrast, famous movie director Joel Schumacher’s count is up there righhhhttttt around 10,000…

…20,000 at the most.  Who’s counting.

Now Schumacher is openly gay, so 99.5% of that numbers is dudes, and from what I hear from Gay Pat, it’s a little bit easier pickins when you’re cruising at a gay bar.  But that’s still pretty damn impressive.

I particularly like his description of the bar scene back in “his day”:

“Now, a lot of gay people are getting married, they’re adopting, or they’re having children,” Schumacher said later in the interview. “There wasn’t any of that when I was young. If you went into a gay bar and there were 200 men in there, and you said, ‘Okay, who wants to have a little house with a white picket fence, and a dog, and a child, raise your hands,’ or ‘Who wants to get laid tonight?’ The concept of a lovely suburban life or raising children was not a high concept.”

Schumacher is awesome – outside of the 20,000-30,000 fucks he gave, he didn’t give a fuck.

Also – you narrow minded movie watchers need to stop defining superhero sexuality.
