Cary Grant Daughter Slams Claims Dad Was Gay

Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Handsome Old Hollywood Cary Grant was a well-known ladies man and a man's man, according to a 2016 documentary titled "Women He's Undressed." The film centers on costume designer Orry-Kelly, who knew Grant personally and professionally and claimed that Cary hid his truth for superstardom.

Sound familiar?

However, Grant's daughter, Jennifer Grant, is not entertaining any gay rumors about her dad, reported New York Post.

Jennifer is producing an ITV series about her famous dad called "Archie," and she reportedly will not be portraying this rumored part of his sexuality.

From what she can remember, her father was "not flirtatious with men," she said.

"If you're around your parents a lot, you see them in ways that almost no one else does. And I never saw a hint of that," said Jennifer, who is also an actor, having starred in "Beverly Hills, 90210."

"I think I would have picked up on it – not that I would've cared. But I have to speak the truth of the matter: Dad was charming, and he had great friendships, but he wasn't flirtatious with men," she said.

Shutting down the rumors, Jennifer explained: "A friend of mine sent me a picture the other day of Gregory Peck, my father, and Mervyn LeRoy, and they're good buddies. But I never got that hint."

However, she said, he could have been a different person earlier in his life and had an affair with a man.

"I'll never know, but if he did, fantastic. I hope he enjoyed it," she said.

Jennifer is Grant's only child, born when the actor was 62 years old. Grant was famously married five times over his long Hollywood career.
