His crimes made Will Smith gay

David Hampton was an American con artist who, in the early 1980s, deceived numerous affluent New Yorkers by posing as the son of actor Sidney Poitier. He leveraged this fabricated identity to obtain money, food, and shelter from unsuspecting individuals, including notable figures like Inger McCabe Elliott and Osborn Elliott. His exploits inspired John Guare's 1990 play "Six Degrees of Separation," which was later adapted into a 1993 film. This eventually lead to the rumor that Will Smith is gay.

At least the con man didn't turn out to be a weirdo killer. Good story.

I've heard kids say they're related to a celebrity, but I never knew it. Somebody would go this far.

The funniest thing about all this is that Sidney Poitier didn’t even have a son, he had 6 daughters 😂😂😂

Ray is the type of youtuber where you'd want more videos from, he's definitely worth watching.

No wonder Jada was still mad at him after he slapped Chris. It wasnt cuz of the joke after all.

[AlinaTaylor-pg]

I had no idea that was based on a true story.

[amberspicks]

I was thinking the whole time that this sounded like 6 degrees of separation… I had no idea it had any basis in reality. Lol

[offscreenpaws]

So no one thought to call his dad just to see if he spending the night was ok lol 😅

[fragileguyguy]

Thank goodness this is one of Ray’s lighter story posts.

Aye look I don't condone any con scams or stuff like that, but I am kinda glad the man didn't turn out to be a psychopath or a serial killer something like that
