Star of Bridgerton & Fellow Travelers. Next up Wicked with Ariana Grande.
Came out too soon, appears too thin with an eating disorder, and looks perpetually tired around the eyes.
I’d still eat his ass, though.

Bit of a famewhore. I find his incessant fabulousness tiring. He'll be Tom Daley if he's not careful.

[quote]appears too thin with an eating disorder
He looks perfectly healthy in Fellow Travelers, with a jacked torso I'd kill for. No signs of a quick starvation course that some male models and actors do before scenes to achieve a slight indentation in their abs either. Also, people with an eating disorder don't usually have perfect glowing skin like he does in those closeups.
I will concede that he is hungry for fame (or just success?) but he also has the requisite talent to back it up.

Not sure if hitting the gym, bulking up and thirst photos were a condition of Bridgerton but he was so skinny in his 20s.

^ yeah. He's plainly gone Hollywood. It's too bad. At the beginning of his career his interviews were laid back and grounded. He was a nice kid, good role model. Now he's smearing cosmetics across his face.

He’s good at disappearing into a role. In stark contrast to his Bridgerton character who is a straight heartthrob, he plays a convincing gay nerd (with an American accent) on Fellow Travelers. Looking forward to seeing him in Wicked.

Good on him and much respect to him for being out and authentic. I don't know much about him but he seems like someone to be proud of.
We all know it's tough so kudos to him. He was good in Bridgeton and Broadchurch. He's a pretty good actor and nice on the eye. I had no idea he was gay until I saw a thread here after watching Bridgeton. I haven't seen him in anything else but will try Fellow Travellers at some point.

He's a very intelligent, grounded, decent guy. I posted up thread I was a bit dismayed at how publicity whore he'd gone, but he hasn't fundamentally changed in his outlook, despite the frippery. And I can't really blame him for enjoying himself. It's too bad there aren't more role models like him. That story about the coffee shop is astonishing. Should it be?

He was in the audience of "An Audience with Kylie" that aired here in the UK at the weekend. He was sat next to another gay actor, Hugh Skinner. I assume they're just friends?
JB was queening it out to Kylie's hits with the rest of the audience. We love to see it.

Yeah Bomer turned down the biggest movie of the year (BARBIE) because he didn’t want to leave his kids or husband for a few months or whatever the shoot took. He’s not ditching his family for a guy who lives in the UK no matter how cute he is.
