Jon Cryer's character on Two and a Half Men isn't gay and yet on next week's episode of the CBS sitcom, he's getting married to a man.

In real life, Cryer has been married to second wife Lisa Joyner since 2009 and yet he has often been mistaken for being gay.

Cryer, 49, told HuffPost Live on Thursday (30 October) that the confusion is likely because he is an 'effeminate heterosexual dork' and has an 'encyclopedic knowledge of show tunes.'

He added: 'All of the stereotypical stuff that everybody thinks the gay community holds close, I have been a part of, except for the gay sex.'

If he had been gay, Cryer doesn't seem to think he would have been exactly in demand when it comes to gay men.

'They don't come onto me,' he said. 'I've never been propositioned. Fellas, you're dropping the ball (laughs).

I have to admit, I always thought Jon Cryer was adorable... he was the only reason I ever watched "Two and a half Men".

So, although I am happily married, if our paths ever cross, I'll make his day, I'll flirt with him!  And I'm willing to bet, more than a few other fellas are thinking the same thing.
