Red, White & Royal Blue: Part Deux

Just thought this thread needed a carry over gif of Taylor Perez' nice ass!

Hott

Taylor did a great job, but if they had decided not to age up the characters over the book, Xolo Mariduena (who’s currently starring as Blue Beetle) would have been a good choice. He’s 10 years younger than Taylor and is absolutely adorable. He also has a lovely penis. (Still waiting to see his ass, which I’m sure is also lovely.)

Xolo is cute R3, but he doesn't have .... "gravitas."

There's something dignified and mature about Taylor, which makes it believable that he could be the President's son.

And Alex had to have the maturity to be able to stand up to a Royal Prince, and go toe-to-toe with him.

Xolo is more of an every day kind of guy. More middle class and approachable.

Taylor (with his modeling background) gives off an air of worldliness, that was needed for the character in this movie.

I just couldn't see Xolo wining and dining a British Royal Prince.

Taylor was much more believable in the role.

R1 I want him to put my head between his thighs until I pass out

I have to agree with R4. Xolo is likable, but he's one of those actors who basically plays himself all the time. (Jaime in "Blue Beetle" is largely similar to Miguel on "Cobra Kai." Strong fighter who goes into Beast Mode whenever someone mentions "family," the Pavlovian tic he picked up watching the entire "Fast & Furious" series on repeat.) Cute, but lacking in gravitas.

That said, Alex in the book seems more like Xolo, but I'm in the camp who thinks the movie's setup is better than the book's. I don't think the plot needed three more primary female characters – Alex's sister, the Second Daughter, and Henry's sis (including the rather ridiculous "White House Trio," considering the VP's kid clearly doesn't live there!) – except for purposes of a cis female trying to make it "relatable" to people like herself. Alex is much more of a dick, much *less* composed and suave, and generally much more unusually immature than onscreen, but Taylor makes the slightly older version work.

Most fans of this movie seem to think that Nicholas Galitzine will have a bigger career than Taylor Perez.

I'm not so sure about that.

Taylor was fantastic in this. I found myself wishing I could actually vote for him when he was doing all the political stuff, especially during his speech about coming out.

And I’ve been mesmerized by the way he grinded his hips into Nicholas during the couch makeout scene. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything sexier.

I did not know the director was cute also?

This clip is also fun, apparently there was a whole situation around Taylor's beautiful hairy bum.

[quote]I found myself wishing I could actually vote for him when he was doing all the political stuf

MARY!

Mary's just besotted, leave her be.

I think Perez will run into the same problem as Freddie Prinze Jr in terms of career. His best shot at a bigger career is a franchise like Paul Walker had with The Fast and the Furious, not a Marvel or Star Wars. Otherwise, he'll end up like Chris Klein, Seann William Scott, and others who had a couple big teen movies, but faded fast. I can see him doing Hallmark movies if something doesn't click for him.

Galitzine is a better actor and has a shot at a decent career if the upcoming AnnE and Julianne Moore movies do well.

The only hit that comes out of an AnnE Hathaway show is AnnE Hathaway, and that’s ME, baby, remember?

Link, please!

Apparently, the reddit sub for RWRB didn't have a moderator, so it got banned.

Should I volunteer?

Somehow I don't think the DL aesthetic would work over there.

Taylor Perez says, "Go to bed with me."

Taylor and Nick are cute together.

They have good chemistry.

I'd love to see them do a sequel to this movie.

Maybe a wedding?

A wedding as a sequel sounds like the most tedious and uninteresting sequel possible.

As several people have pointed out in the now-banned RWRB subreddit, in order for a movie to be interesting, there has to be conflict. Now that they're out and getting married is (still) legal in the US and Britain and multiple royals have married commoners, there isn't anything contentious about their getting married in itself.

R19, I can see a conflict: The heir falls off his polo horse or some other absurdity like getting cracked in the head with a polo mallet and he dies. Henry's Mother decides to dedicate her life to saving the whales and the King has a stroke, he may be on his deathbed. All of this happens shortly after Alex and Henry announce their engagement and are making wedding plans. Suddenly Henry is no longer the Spare, he is the Heir. And the King tries mightily to discourage, sabotage and stop the marriage. He wants Henry to put aside this "phase" and get on with his duties with someone more suitable. Meanwhile, Alex has already committed to running for Congress to replace his father who is retiring as Mother's second term draws to a close. So there is "conflict" a real shit mess actually. WTF are they gonna do??????

The conflict is that they’re both insatiable bottoms.

And I can STAR in it, R20!

I will add that Henry becomes king, and he gets Parliament to change the law (if it isn't already changed) and he abdicates so his sister can become Queen. He runs off to be with Alex who wins his seat, and everyone has their happy ending. (pun intended.)

[quote]I will add that Henry becomes king, and he gets Parliament to change the law (if it isn't already changed) and he abdicates so his sister can become Queen. He runs off to be with Alex who wins his seat, and everyone has their happy ending. (pun intended.)

As Henry's mother is already the heir to the throne, if Henry withdraws, she will become Queen if the older brother is also dead and has no heirs with the wife he married which precipitated cakegate.

Henry is right about one thing, if Alex becomes a congressman or takes any other political office, Henry would be trading one prison for another - to paraphrase Henry, he can "love him (Alex) and want to be with him and still not want that life."

Tell us more about winning his “seat”.

When I said Henry's mother decides to dedicate her life to saving the whales, I meant that she leaves the RF and has no interest in becoming Queen. This is when the King starts trying to sabotage and pressure Henry to come back. So, tension. Thus, crisis #1 comes when Mummy deserts. Crisis #2 comes when the heir gets whacked in the head and dies. This is more than the King can handle. He becomes ill. Eventually he strokes out. Henry must come home.

R15 : Here you go. The shove over the back of the couch by the pushy prince is also fucking hot.

^^^While I liked it, there are two things I noticed immediately about that scene.

First, if I were Alex, my had would have been grabbing Henry's ass, not sliding up and down his sides.

Second, if I were Henry, I wouldn't be supporting my weight on my knees. I'd be pressing my body into Alex and grinding into crotch.

This song is perfect for this movie.

R28 you're describing something that would happen in real life, ..... or without an "intimacy coach" on a movie set.

Wow, that's hot R27!!!

[quote][R28] you're describing something that would happen in real life, ..... or without an "intimacy coach" on a movie set.

I get that.

Since the starting point of "intimacy coaches" is what each of the actors is comfortable doing, it suggests that one or both of them were not comfortable with a more intimate scene which would have been more natural looking.

R28 Yes, I noticed that too, there is a noticeable lack of ass grabbing or tounge kissing that two guys who are actually fucking would engage in, but they still manage to generate some serious heat in their very tasteful sex scenes.

And when they do end up having a full on sex it was so beautiful, sweet and intimate that I was moved to tears, much to my surprise.

In general I thought they were pretty good and convincing on the little signs of affection front, even in less obvious moments. For example, there was a throw-away scene of them holding hands and looking at something and Henry was also gently stroking Alex's hand with his finger, which was presumably the actor's initiative and not scripted.

From the last thread:

[quote]This guy is at the same point Timotee was after CMBYN all the teenage girls and freaky fraus and old pervs are staning him. In a couple of years he'll be discarded and a new "it" twink will come up. That's the way the" business" works.

Have you been in a coma the past 5-6 years? Timothée has been one of THE hottest actors, period, for a long time now, and his career's only gone UP since CMBYN. (In stark contrast to his costar's.) Yes, he HAD teen girls, frauen and old pervs hot for his jock, but now he has pretty much everyone up in his grille. "Dune" is the closest thing it gets nowadays to an all-star cast, but Timmy's at the top of the first and second ones.

[quote]Henry is right about one thing, if Alex becomes a congressman or takes any other political office, Henry would be trading one prison for another - to paraphrase Henry, he can "love him (Alex) and want to be with him and still not want that life."

R24, I think you missed the main point of that scene. Henry was talking about HIMSELF being "imprisoned" by the same British royal family duties that Harry & Meghan escaped from. It's a duty and a requirement of royalty, not something he *wants*. Alex OTOH *badly* wants a career in politics, because he's idealistic and thinks he can use a role in politics to achieve positive change. Unless Henry is somehow far more selfish than anything we saw on the show (or in the book), I'm not seeing why he wouldn't want Alex to do whatever it does that makes him happy. (Aside from fucking Henry, of course.)

It's certainly possible that Henry could end up hating being the spouse of an elected official who's constantly busy, or Alex's idealism could run smack dab into the reality that America doesn't have many openly gay politicians for a reason (and definitely none from Texas), and he could face both bigotry and defeat of his political goals.

I mean, really: if you can't come up with interesting drama involving a literal British prince and the American president's son, you shouldn't be writing, period.

[quote][R24], I think you missed the main point of that scene. Henry was talking about HIMSELF being "imprisoned" by the same British royal family duties that Harry & Meghan escaped from

No, he was making the point that being with Alex would be no different than the goldfish bowl he's already living in.

[quote]Henry: My life is the crown and yours is politics, and I will not trade one prison for another...I can love you and want you and still not want that life.

"That life" is a life in politics with all the constraints and limitations.

So one of them is basically an introvert who wants to be a writer, and the other is an extrovert who wants to go out and fix things. I think they'll be fine. THey love one another and they seem to look out for one another too.

I wonder when they start doing 3 ways

They're a gay couple so probably as soon as possible

I listen to the Big Picture podcast sometimes. They discussed this movie a bit. Overall they didn't like it and called it hallmarky (which I think is a fair opinion to have even though I enjoyed it in spite of that), but they also called out Taylor and Nicholas for not having much chemistry and heat together. Which I thought the guys did fine on that front.

I thought of whom Henry reminds me of from classic gay literature.

[quote]"The best little boy in the world...always topped his class,

The whore. He'd fit right in on DL.

[quote]Overall they didn't like it and called it hallmarky

I thought that was rather the point? Also, that podcast is way too straight white douchebro for me to take their reviews seriously, although I do force myself to listen to The Watch one to be current on Hollywood issues.

Why do some people insist on investing pretentions of importance into something when they do not exist. Take it for what it was, and not what you think it should be. I can agree with some of what the podcasters said, but so what? I enjoyed it for what it was. All these criticisms, IMO point to one thing: We need more variety, we're hungry for it. We really are. More Gay themed stories, with more frequency so we won't sit here wallowing in the shoulda, woulda, coulda. I 've watched it four times because it's fun and they are hot. And I'd honestly love to see something like this turned into a Gay sit com.

R34: That is a lovely little moment during the confrontation with the King, where Alex reaches over and offers the signet ring on his hand for Henry to play with, knowing the Prince’s nervous habit of fiddling with it in stressful situations.

They really did take great care in bringing these characters and their adorable relationship to life by adding sweet non-verbal interactions like that. It’s such a swoony film!

[quote]All these criticisms, IMO point to one thing: We need more variety, we're hungry for it. We really are. More Gay themed stories, with more frequency so we won't sit here wallowing in the shoulda, woulda, coulda.

I think this is actually the wrong takeaway.

All you need to do is review DL threads about Bros to know that there is something more to it and needing more variety or wanting more gay-themed stories.

R46, all I meant was that we get a movie like this and we focus on it so closely , every single frame, and I just think if we had more variety and choices we wouldn't invest this with such high expectations and just enjoy it for what it is. Of course it's flawed and it's fluff, but it stands out because there is so little else out here. I can't even count the number of Rom Coms and dramedies out here for straight people. Not so for Gay centric stuff.

Was the "intimacy coordinator" a woman? Because these boys do not shag like real poofs. No ass grabbing. No dick grabbing. They fuck like lesbians.

R45 Meet RandyRand et al. who lap up this homo Hallmark dreck.

R48, geez, it's not porn, it's a rom com. What did you expect?

Look forward to seeing Galitzine playing the original royal boi toi made good George Villiers Duke of Buckingham in George and Mary miniseries. Think he has the chops and the lips to pull it off. Buggery & Ruffles . I'm there.

Is George & Mary going to be "contemporized" like The Great? Glad they are not sticking to strict period . The glued on moustache and goatee would be distracting on Nicky.

^ Orlando Bloom pulled it off.

Orland Bloom

Simon Ward nailed it in Three Musketeers. Of course the buggery was omitted . Ward played a fine line between fop and romantic hero.

What can be gathered in the published synopsis of Mary & George. Nicholas Galitzine will play Villars as the scheming power crazy social climbing dancing boy who uses his looks and tight arse to seduced the King . Rising to the highest position of Gentleman of The Kings Bedchamber. He then falls for the son (Charles I) and together the two murderous poofs poison the Sugar Daddy James I and seize the throne.

Sam Blenkin plays the other "murderous poof" Charles I. Yikes. Was Timothée booked up?

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT GUY'S HEAD??????

Was George Villiers Duke of Buckingham a homosexualist or just an opportunist?

Is he known to have had relationships with women or just men?

[quote]He then falls for the son (Charles I) and together the two murderous poofs poison the Sugar Daddy James I and seize the throne.

Falls for or figures out he has a better opportunity?

^ He had relationships with both men and women

Villars was married with children. He used his "charms" on the old pathetic James I who also was married with children. They both very much identified as heterosexual. Yet in the 50 + yo King James "love letters" to the 24 yo Villars he writes of longing for the site of his beautiful face and body, the tender touch of his hands and refers to himself as Villars "husband" and George Villars as his "wife" Don't know how the "hetero normative" establishment historians can spin that one. But they will.

This is a great site.

Many in Parliament believed Villars and Charles had poisoned King James. They loathed the corrupt "bugger" Villars as they called him. Since he was bosom chums with Charles he was immune from prosecution. Villars was assassinated before he could be brought up on charges. Charles of course lost his head years later.

Villiers was a libertine!

It's spelled VILLIERS. Drat!

Always amuses me that all these ancient closeted historians twist themselves into knots trying to explain these obvious love letters as "Well you see this is just how men wrote to each other in these days it does not mean they were buttfucking or sucking each others penises. Perish the thought. " Apparently "these days" didn't end until 1968.

Ironical that this King/Queen James aficionado of pretty Boys of the Bedchamber was also The King James of The King James Version of the Holy Bible. Lordy the jokes write themselves.

[quote]Ironical that this King/Queen James aficionado of pretty Boys of the Bedchamber was also The King James of The King James Version of the Holy Bible. Lordy the jokes write themselves.

I'd say it was cliche. It's the closet cases who always thump the bible the hardest.

By having a translation in English, it just made hypocrisy easier.

King Charles I possible bisexual parricide was the son of bisexual bugger King James I son of bisexual bugger Lord Darnley . In this BRF the bisexual fruit doesn't fall far from the buggery tree.

Rubbish! I only get buggered by women.

Villiers was a 4 out of 10.

Not really attractive, by today's standards.

The personal and political relationship between James I and George Villiers was similar to that of Edward II and Piers Gaveston 300 years earlier. Both kings were accused by the aristocracy of promoting their untalented young "lovers" to undeserved positions of power over titled gentry who despised them. Consequently both "favorites" met violent ends. Although James didn't get a hot poker up his arse like Edward, the ill will caused by the incompetent and corrupt Villiers directly led to the revolution that cost Villiers' chum King Charles his throne and his head.

All very interesting but can we please get back to the obvious bugger at hand...

R71, he's not bad. I'd give him a 6.

Internet detectives have tracked down a video of Taylor Zachary Perez introducing himself as Tyler Gerson. So him and Garrett Gerson are definitely secretly married and Miss Taylor was the bride who took his last name.

How in the hell did they ever find that obscure video R75, and I'm not sure how they made a connection between these two guys, and then made a GIANT LEAP that they're married in real life???

Is Taylor Perez even gay? I don't think I've ever seen any information, either confirming or denying it.

[quote]How in the hell did they ever find that obscure video [R75], and I'm not sure how they made a connection between these two guys, and then made a GIANT LEAP that they're married in real life???

Finding that random video is pretty impressive, but the leap that they're a couple or married isn't so big when you consider that this Garrett Gerson person was all over Perez's social media...then, not. Also, why would he introduce himself as "Taylor Gerson" in that video which would be just weird no matter how you slice it.

You don't just randomly switch out your last name to once of your friend's last names for no reason. This Gerson person looks like he might hit big with the 3D textile company, not billionaire big, but certainly very financially comfortable. While Perez is very hot, 5 years ago, no one had heard of him and a boy has got to eat.

Well there must be something to the rumors, because if you type the name "Garrett Gerson" in the Google Search box, the autofill suggestion automatically comes up with "Garrett Gerson and Taylor Zakhar Perez."

This is so weird.

So what's the story on this Gerson person? He looks philiippino or something.

Yeah if you look into Taylor online it's hard not to notice Garrett Gerson. He has been a fixture in Taylor's life for over a decade.

And yeah he has definitely been what has funded Taylor's lifestyle over the years.

Taylor even has a photo on the Variant3D Instagram page.

Rumor r80? Does it get more confirmed than Taylor literally calling himself Taylor Gerson lol.

They're really going all out with behind the scenes releases since the actors cannot promote it.

[quote] lol

LoL! :)

R81: That’s so cool. I’m glad to know that Taylor has love in his life. His work in this film certainly reinspired my faith in gay love and friendship.

And it seems to have done the same for a lots of folks. Three weeks later and my Tumblr and Twitter feeds are still an endless stream of RWRB gif sets and remixes and fan art.

Check out "Of An Age" on Amazon Prime.

These actors' personal lives are really none of our business.

These media people who try to drag this kind of personal stuff out of them are really smarmy.

Does anyone remember when Barbara Walters point blank asked Ricky Martin what his sexual orientation? What a cunt.

While I get what you are saying r86, this is a public video that was marketed on social media that Taylor willing participated in.

In a way it's sad, you can see how open and proud of his relationship he was before he got into Hollywood and tried to make it as an actor

I get that, R87, but the video was something he did voluntarily. I'd never argue that the felt need for Hollywood closetedness is a good thing, but privacy is.

Taylor is not gay.

Sorry!

^^^^i,e., I wasn't referring at all to information that people give voluntarily. They just shouldn't feel forced to give it. Even like a Kit Conway situation, for instance.

I do get what you're saying that this is an unfortunate situation.

Just wanted to clarify my inarticulate post.

Of An Age had hotness. Seriously.

[quote]These actors' personal lives are really none of our business.

The 28 FUCKING YEARS OF DL BITCHERY suggests otherwise, dear.

[quote]Does anyone remember when Barbara Walters point blank asked Ricky Martin what his sexual orientation? What a cunt.

Or merely stating the obvious. OTOH I wouldn't have minded if Ricky retorted with, "I like guys, but I think we know which one of us rode Roy Cohn's cock like a champ."

[quote]Internet detectives have tracked down a video of Taylor Zachary Perez introducing himself as Tyler Gerson. So him and Garrett Gerson are definitely secretly married and Miss Taylor was the bride who took his last name.

While I know you bitches love nothing more than a possible HOMOSEXUALIST SCANDAL (gasp!), I'm afraid there are a variety of explanations for the admittedly odd name-change thing that have nothing to do with anyone's orientation. One is plain-old racism: that video was from the Trump era, and as we know Latinos weren't exactly being welcomed with open arms then (particularly at resorts catering to rich white people). Or Taylor was in fake-it-till-you-make-it mode and took a side gig with a PR company if only to pay the bills, but used an assumed name thinking it wouldn't get back to him once he hit it big. (If so, he clearly underestimated the skills of online sleuths.) As such, he assumed his best friend's last name (presumably Garrett didn't mind) and a slight variation of his real first name.

Finally, that was also before all the 2020 fuckery with George Floyd and much-improved consideration of racial minorities: before then, Taylor would've had a double-whammy of sorts from having a name that's both Latino and Arabesque.

One other possibility, and you cunts better sit down for this one: what if his real name IS Tyler Gerson; Garrett is his ACTUAL brother; and he made up a dual Hispanic/Arab name to improve his chances of getting cast? (If so, it SURE AS FUCK WORKED.)

Lay off the METH, R93.

Crack is whack!

[quote]Garrett is his ACTUAL brother;

Only if this is a Falcon or pornhub video, r93.

Arabesque.

An actor changing their name. Egads! Never heard of such a thing!

Lana Del Rey (Elizabeth Woolridge Grant)

Lizzo (Melissa Viviane Jefferson)

Natalie Portman (Natalie Hershlag)

Whoopi Goldberg (Caryn Elaine Johnson)

Jamie Foxx (Eric Marlon Bishop)

Vin Diesel (Mark Sinclair)

Charlie Sheen (Carlos Irwin Estevez)

Joaquin Phoenix (Leaf Rafael Bottom)

Bruno Mars (Peter Gene Hernandez)

Pedro Pascal (José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal)

Is Lizzo an actress?

Tyler was just my typo man r93, I meant to say Taylor.

But go ahead, I think it's fun to see the bending over backwards to deny what is right in front of your eyes.

Leaf Bottom . How Vexing.

I’m reading the novel atm while listening to the movie soundtrack. I really love this playlist, and the book is great fun, with more space for political machinations and the initially prickly relationship between Alex and Henry.

[quote] Kit Conway

I meant Kit Connor.

[quote]But go ahead, I think it's fun to see the bending over backwards to deny what is right in front of your eyes.

What is right in front of all of our eyes is Taylor – assuming the identity of Tyler Gerson, for reasons unknown – doing a generic PR video nearly five years ago, and given that the IG account ostensibly has accounts from the company's own employees, the only thing one can reasonably assume is that he worked there. Feel free to spin as elaborate a scenario as possible about the fictional love affair between Taylor & Garrett, but do so knowing it's a conspiracy theory that makes you no better than some Trumpist-ass Karen.

R101, photoshop fail.

[quote][R101], photoshop fail.

It's a pretty common image from the movie promotional material.

I suppose that doesn't mean it's not photoshop, but why they'd do it when they have both actors available and had been taking all sorts of promo pix is weird.

R103 "Conspiracy theory" over a third rate unknown actor. Tres DL dearie.😂

OK, I watched the movie Henry loved. In the Mood for Love. And I gotta say. I was pissed off when it ended. I won't spoil it for you,because it is supposed to be a critically acclaimed classic, but it was not for me.

A fun interview with writer/director Matthew Lopez about the film and the positive reception it’s received. He’s such a sweetheart. :)

Awwwwww.

So let me get this right.

Nicholas Galitzine is the only straight male involved with this movie???

Color me shocked! He's the nelliest of all.

I love Taylor's ass.

Nicholas is the bottomiest bottom who ever bottomed!

R111, I love the jiggle!

Look at Nicholas hamming it up in R110!

R111 and R113, I love Taylor's EVERYTHING!

I’m surprised Nicholas is straight. He reminds me of former DL fave Alam Wernik of doctor school fame.

I've decided to leave speculation regarding Nicholas's sexual orientation behind. It's really none of our business.

Whatever dating life he has he obviously keeps very private, and we should respect that.

^ Wisdom by the dozen.

Nicholas said he was straight and I believe him. Taylor refuses to define himself. I think he will gradually come out over time.

This has been a huge success on Prime. There’s no way this doesn’t get a sequel.

Given the ongoing strikes, I can't imagine a sequel coming any earlier than 2025.

Filiming originally took place between June-Aug 2022. It released in July of 2023.

I'm watching Soft Lad on Prime. Another Gay movie. Really good.

R121 Not as good as that chicken dear.

Just finished watching Boys, a coming of ager about high school kids.

[quote] Nicholas Galitzine Is a Proud 'Bottom' in New Behind-the-Scenes Pic

Nicholas Galitzine and Miles Fowler are teasing us with a cheeky new photo released from behind the scenes of their latest movie!

In the photo, taken from the set of Emma Seligman’s new movie Bottoms, the two actors are leaning against each other, their butts turned towards the camera, with booty shorts labeling the two actors as “bottoms.”

Galiztine and Fowler are co-starring in the queer high school comedy where they play two dumb-as-rocks football players who have it out for the two lead characters, PJ (co-writer Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri). Now, it appears they’ve become the "bottoms" themselves.

In Bottoms, Galitzine plays Jeff, the school’s star quarterback and boyfriend to Isabel, the cheerleader that Josie has a crush on. He’s hilarious in the film, and he and Miles Fowler, who plays football player and popular kid Tim, teams up with him to make a hilarious version of prototypical dumb horny high school jocks.

While Galitzine very convincingly plays a meathead jock in Bottoms, he also recently starred in Prime Video’s Red, White & Royal Blue, where he won hearts and stole scenes as the restrained and refined Prince Henry.

In the movie, Prince Henry and Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), the son of the US president, are forced to spend time together after they cause an international incident at a royal wedding. Soon, the two fall deeply in love.

With both Red, White & Royal Blue and Bottoms, Galitzine is currently starring in two of the biggest queer movies around. And we love him for it!

Such a tease!

I can't help but adore him.

Nicki is and his little money maker in Bottom.

This is really gaybaiting. This film is about fugly lesbians. It should be called Bumping not Bottoms.

Lads or Birds a tongues a tongue mate.

Obviously his tongue is his largest appendage.

The "Taylor Gerson" video has now been deleted from the companies Instagram. As if trying to delete things from the internet ever works, just confirms to everyone that it caused Taylor and his team to be scared.

Meh - my attitude is leave the guy alone.

He hasn't been obnoxious. I'd rather he have a good career than that nozzle Elordi who was in the Kissing Booth movies with him.

I don't think linking to a public video he made is somehow invading his personal life.

Getting this shit deleted just makes him look like a coward

[quote]Getting this shit deleted just makes him look like a coward

While he is older, 31, he's relatively new to the Hollywood and celebrity scene. I sincerely doubt that he has high-powered PR people working for him.

He's probably just listening to people who have as little experience as he does.

The reality is that it doesn't take much to derail a career this early on and, let's face it, homophobia is alive and kicking still in Hollywood.

R127 Since he’s packing a Tootsie Roll, I can tell why the movie is called Bottoms

[quote]Nicholas Galitzine is the only straight male involved with this movie???

The fuck?? The actual orientations of the cast are unknown as far as we know – and many of you cunts are VERY good detectives – and where, specifically, did you see Nicholas claim he's straight? (And in what context?) I know some DLers remain in persistent denial of this reality, but the vast majority of Hollywood actors actually *are* straight, much like the large majority of people in general.

In any event, queer filmmaking seems to be heading down two distinctly different paths. One is the standard one we've seen for eons: straight actors (or, at least, actors without publicly known orientations) playing gay. (Or bi, if we're including the admitted hottie in "The Summer I Turned Pretty.") The other is novel and promising: gay films made by gay filmmakers, and starring largely or entirely queer casts. I know "Bros" didn't do well – mostly because it sucked – but it easily fits these criteria, as does last year's "Fire Island" (or even the "Queer as Folk" reboot on Peacock cancelled after a single season). And, of course, DL fave "Heartstopper" obviously does as well.

Nick has given several interviews over the years including for this movie specifying he is straight r136. He has been upfront about that since his first gay role in Handsome Devil.

Just re watched. Noticed how tiny and delicate Nicholas Galitzine's hands are. His ears are like little shells. Think he's packing an inch worm. That being said I would not throw his pouty lips and tight lil bum out of my bed.

Running joke in fiilm is Galitzine's character Prince Henry claims to be 6'2". No way are either of these guys 6'2". Taylor Perez is listed as 6'1 and Galitzine is admitting to 6'0". Have my doubts

I don't care if they're Gay or straight if they tell a good story and they do a good job. The fact is, Gay actors have been playing straight characters since the beginning of time, and they have been very convincing

I wasn't sure before, but now I'm convinced that Taylor Perez is gay.

Just watch this interview.

Duu-uhh!

Taylor said in one interview, magazine I think, that when he was younger he wanted to become a dermatologist. He was very much into skin care. This video tracks with that.

Lol R143 his dad must have known he was a little gayling, because he was so fussy about wanting a particular hairstyle, and the dad said "Fuck it. I have no idea what you want, so pick it out of this magazine."

Haha... that's a funny story.

My god his eyelashes are so distracting! The boy knows he's hot. He is a beauty. But he seems like he's nice, too. And he isn't shallow.He cares about sustainability in fashion. Good on you, Taylor!

Yummy Gummy!

THIRSTY!

I made it about 50 pages into the book and about 5 minutes into the film.

What was the budget for this? British Bakeoff seems to use better quality cameras.

Taylor better be banking the money because acting… is not for him.

Taylor always has his fall back career as the face of Maybelline

The best thing that could happen for Taylor is for him to land a TV series with an ensemble cast like Friends, or something. He could do passably well and would be entertaining. Lord knows I'd watch him... But not some silly high school bullshit. Something kind of smart.

He's a bit long in the tooth for high school bullshit, no?

VOTN, yes he is, which was clear to anyone with a brain when he did the garbage series with Joey King, one of the most unappealing actresses I have ever become acquainted with. Ugh. I think the name of it was "Kissing Booth" Absolute garbage. And Taylor did decent work, he just had nothing to work with.

Nicky's next role is as the original boy toy George Villiers Duke of Buckingham. Anyone see a pattern here?

I love Nick, but "Bottoms" was terrible.

Finally watched this.

It was enjoyable. Fun and cute, laugh-out-loud funny at moments, and of course, all the feels at other moments.

It got me thinking about how completely uncontroversial this movie was upon release, and how amazing it would have been to have something like this come out as I was coming of age, without it being "shocking". As I was starting college, the movie "Making Love" came out. SO MUCH CONTROVERSY. I snuck away my closeted self to see it in a theater where nobody could possibly know me, without telling my parents (whom I still lived with) or friends or anyone. It was kinda gutting, not fun like this movie.

I try to imagine how much better life would have been, how much less fucked up I'd be about things, if movies like this, and shows like Heartstopper and Sex Education were around when I was coming of age. I had no 'mentor', and most media representations of gay men were either sicko perverts, suicidal sad-sacks, disease-ridden tragic stories of dying young, or clowns/comic-relief. That's when you saw it at all. Like, the most normal person I remember from that time growing up closeted in High School was Jody from "Soap".

Anyway. I'm not much into rom-coms but I make an exception for this, and I'm glad this exists.
